Gladman are one of the UK’s leading land promoters. They needed a new brand, a new website, and security rigorous enough to satisfy enterprise-level governance. They got all three.
The new Gladman site
Gladman came to us in the summer of 2025 through a personal recommendation, with a legacy site on an ageing CMS and a brand that no longer matched the calibre of the business. The website project quickly grew into something bigger: full digital brand guidelines, an icon set and typography, then a rollout across a dozen document templates and the company’s day-to-day materials.
We migrated them onto WordPress with a custom plugin underneath: dedicated content types for locations and case studies, editor-friendly fields instead of a fiddly block editor, and a set of custom components built for their content. The centrepiece is an interactive coverage map with regional overlays. Eleven regions, each with its own landing page pulling in related case studies and news, built for both visitors and search engines. Thirty-six pages migrated and rebuilt, with a full redirect map so nothing gets lost.
Before launch, the site went through an independent penetration test under enterprise governance requirements. It came back with zero high and zero critical findings, and the remaining minor items were remediated without needing a re-test. Security wasn’t bolted on at the end. It was in the build from day one.
We’ve trained their team to run their own content, and Gladman have signed an ongoing hosting, support and SEO retainer. From first introduction to long-term partnership in about ten months, with an independent security gate in the middle.
