macselectrical.co.uk
Mac's Electrical Limited is a Derby based electrical engineering and contracting business with a track record stretching back to 1992. Serving commercial, industrial, and domestic clients across Derbyshire, the East Midlands and beyond, they offer a comprehensive range of electrical services including large scale contracts, small works, street lighting, security systems and more. Fully accredited, ISO certified, and built on decades of technical expertise, Mac's Electrical is the kind of business that inspires confidence before a conversation has even started. The challenge was making sure their website communicated exactly that.
The Challenge
Mac's Electrical Limited approached getyouonline.co.uk with a specific and clearly defined brief. They needed a website that positioned them accurately as a leader in electrical engineering, one that would instil genuine confidence in commercial and industrial clients looking for a contractor capable of handling serious, high value work.
This is a more nuanced challenge than it might initially appear. Electrical engineering covers an enormous range of work, from small domestic jobs through to large, complex industrial contracts. Mac's Electrical wanted the website to prioritise and prominently reflect the larger, more technically demanding end of their service offering. They did not want to be perceived as a general electrician. They wanted to be seen as the experienced, qualified, accredited partner that commercial and industrial businesses turn to when the stakes are high and the work requires real expertise.
At the same time, the website needed to present a significant amount of detailed information clearly. Accreditations, ISO certifications, service categories, project case studies, and technical capability all needed to be communicated in a way that felt authoritative and professional without becoming overwhelming or difficult to navigate. Getting that balance right required careful thought at every stage of the design and build process.
The Solution
getyouonline.co.uk designed and built a polished, corporate website for Mac's Electrical Limited at macselectrical.co.uk. Every aspect of the design was considered through the lens of the intended audience: commercial and industrial decision makers who need to quickly establish that the contractor they are evaluating has the credentials, the experience, and the professionalism to be trusted with their project.
The result is a website that feels authoritative, structured, and genuinely confidence inspiring from the very first scroll.
Key features of the website include:
- Large Hero Image Showcasing Contract Scale Work: The homepage opens with a full width, high impact image drawn from Mac's Electrical's own project portfolio, immediately communicating the scale and ambition of the work they undertake. A visitor arriving on the site sees instantly that this is not a general electrician but a serious contractor operating on significant projects.
- Nine Individual Service Pages: Dedicated, fully detailed pages covering each of the nine main service areas offered by Mac's Electrical, including the contracts division, small works, street lighting, security services, and more. Each page is structured to clearly explain the scope and capability of the service while supporting the website's overall SEO performance by targeting specific, relevant search terms.
- Accreditations and ISO Certifications: Company accreditations and ISO certifications are prominently displayed throughout the website, giving commercial clients the immediate reassurance they need that Mac's Electrical meets the highest professional and regulatory standards. In the electrical engineering sector, visible accreditation is not a nice to have. It is often a requirement before a business will even consider a contractor.
- Recent Projects Section: A dedicated area of the site where Mac's Electrical can publish detailed articles about current and recently completed projects, showcasing the depth and variety of their work in their own words. This section serves a dual purpose: it builds trust with potential clients by demonstrating real world capability, and it provides a consistent source of fresh, relevant content that supports organic search performance over time.
- Corporate Visual Design: The overall aesthetic of the website has been carefully crafted to appeal to a commercial and industrial audience. Clean layouts, strong typography, and a considered use of the Mac's Electrical green and dark colour palette combine to create a site that looks and feels like it belongs to a serious, established business.
- Push to Call Functionality: A prominent, tap to call feature ensures that visitors on mobile devices can connect with the Mac's Electrical team instantly, removing any friction from the enquiry process for clients who are ready to make contact.
- Fully Responsive Design: The website performs consistently and professionally across all devices, from large desktop screens in a procurement manager's office through to a mobile phone on a construction site.
- On Page SEO Optimisation: Built from the ground up with regional and sector specific search visibility in mind, targeting the terms that commercial and industrial clients in Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands are using when searching for electrical engineering contractors.

From The Marketing Expert
Mac's Electrical was a project where the brief was clear and the stakes were high. When a business has been operating since 1992, holds ISO certifications, and regularly takes on large scale commercial and industrial contracts, the website needs to reflect that standing immediately. Anything less risks underselling a genuinely impressive business.
The design challenge was presenting a significant amount of detailed, technical information in a way that felt structured and accessible rather than dense or daunting. Nine service areas, multiple accreditations, project case studies, and a range of client types all needed to coexist on a single website without any one element overwhelming the others. I am really pleased with how the layout handles that balance, and the corporate aesthetic feels right for the audience the site is speaking to.
Achieving position 1 for "electrical engineers Derbyshire" and having organic search drive 83% of all key events on the site is a result I am genuinely proud of. It is a strong validation of the approach taken from day one, building a site that is not just well designed but properly optimised and structured to perform in search.
