Case study · Drone photography · Doncaster
The site does the selling. He just flies.
Overview
Clear aerial photos and short video clips for estate agents, roofers and builders across Doncaster and South Yorkshire — and a site built to win that exact work. Behind it sits the part most agencies never hand over: a key-gated editor where the owner uploads, reorders and publishes his own portfolio shots from a phone. New drone footage goes live the same evening it was flown, no developer in the loop.

Everything that shipped, nothing behind a tap- 01
Pages that match real searches
Services, areas and pricing structured around what his customers actually type — drone photos for estate agents, roof inspections, site progress shots. Local SEO by architecture, not by blog spam.
- 02
WhatsApp-first enquiries
His customers message, they don't fill in long forms. Every call-to-action opens WhatsApp with the context already in the thread — the same channel the job gets arranged in anyway.
- 03
A portfolio that carries the pitch
Real drone shots, full-bleed, fast. For a visual trade the gallery is the sales pitch — so the site treats photography as the main event, not decoration.
- 04
His own photo editor
A private, key-gated editor: upload new shots, reorder the gallery, delete the misses — from a phone, standing in a field if need be. Wrong key, no entry; no accounts to manage.
- 05
Photos on a CDN, not in the code
Uploads land in Vercel Blob storage and serve from a CDN. The portfolio grows without the site slowing down or a developer redeploying anything.
- 06
No CMS licence, ever
No monthly WordPress bill, no plugin updates, nothing to hack. One link and one key — that's the entire editing workflow he has to remember.
