Custom WordPress build for B-Energy Electrical Solutions — an NICEIC-registered Wigan electrician. Wix-to-WordPress migration, schema-led local SEO, three-day turnaround. Ben's phone started ringing differently within the week.
B-Energy Electrical Solutions is an NICEIC-registered electrical contractor based in Wigan, run by Ben. Domestic rewires, commercial installations, EV chargers, fault-finding — the full scope of qualified electrical work. The business was established and respected; the website wasn't.
Ben came to Mako Digital with a clear problem. The existing Wix site looked generic, loaded slowly on mobile, and had virtually no search visibility on Google. He was getting work through word-of-mouth despite the website, not because of it. The brief was simple: rebuild it on WordPress, get it ranking, do it fast.
Three days from greenlight to live. Custom WordPress theme, full schema, GSC-verified launch, and a domain migration that kept his existing reviews and Google Business Profile intact. No downtime. No SEO penalty from the platform switch.
Every Mako Digital case study includes a complete build specification — the actual technical decisions that made the project what it is.
Every Mako Digital build follows a documented approach — consistent across every project, calibrated to each client’s industry, brand, and customer journey.
The existing Wix site had years of organic listings and Google Business Profile reviews tied to the domain. The migration kept all of that intact — same domain, same DNS, same review history — while replacing the underlying platform completely. The content was rewritten for SEO, the structure was rebuilt around how customers actually search, and the redirect map ensured nothing fell off the index during the switch.
Five pages, sequenced for the electrical buyer journey. Home leads with NICEIC accreditation and the phone number. Services breaks down domestic / commercial / EV chargers / fault-finding clearly. Areas Covered makes the catchment explicit. About establishes the qualifications and experience. Contact is direct, click-to-call, simple form. No filler. Every page earns its place.
The original Wix site struggled on mobile — the kind of slow load that loses customers between Google search results and your homepage. The new WordPress build measures at the high end of green for Core Web Vitals. Hand-coded PHP, no page builders, no platform bloat. The site loads as fast as it should for an emergency-call business.
B-Energy works across Wigan borough plus parts of Bolton, Leigh, and Atherton. The site's local SEO setup reflects that real catchment — not an aspirational list of every town in the North West. ElectricalContractor schema with proper service areas, page copy that mentions the towns Ben actually works in, and search-intent matching for queries like "electrician Wigan", "rewire Hindley", "EV charger installer Bolton".
Hosted on Hostinger, built on WordPress, no proprietary platform. B-Energy owns the site outright after handover. No monthly Wix subscription, no platform lock-in. We support and maintain by choice — the relationship is collaborative, not contractual.
Moving from Wix to our new site was a game-changer. The rebuild was done in just three days, fully SEO-optimised, and the difference was immediate. Clients are commenting on it — and more importantly, we’re winning more work because of it.Ben · Owner, B-Energy Electrical Solutions
B-Energy Electrical Solutions Case Study: Mako Digital designed and built a custom WordPress website for B-Energy Electrical Solutions, niceic-registered electrical contractor based in Wigan. The build delivered a bespoke theme coded from scratch, full LocalBusiness schema markup, complete local SEO setup, and a Google Search Console-verified launch.
The B-Energy project sits within Mako Digital’s portfolio of bespoke WordPress builds — the same standards-led approach we apply to every client across Wigan borough and the wider North West. See our Web Design for Electricians Wigan page for the full service breakdown, or visit the case study archive for more examples.
B-Energy took our standard five-page custom WordPress build at £449 fixed, plus the Wix migration at no additional charge. That includes bespoke design, full local SEO setup, ElectricalContractor schema, Google Search Console submission, email configuration, and hosting setup. No add-on fees, no monthly retainer.
Three days from initial brief to live site. The migration was done with zero downtime — the old Wix site stayed live until the WordPress site was ready to take over, then DNS was switched in a single window. No drop in search rankings, no lost reviews, no period where customers couldn't find the business.
WordPress is self-hosted and the client owns the site outright — no monthly Wix subscription that increases yearly, no platform lock-in. WordPress also offers significantly better page speed, full SEO control, and the flexibility to add custom features later. For a working tradesperson whose phone rings based on Google search, the SEO control alone is worth the move.
No — in fact rankings improved because the new site loads faster and has proper schema markup that Wix didn't support. The domain stayed the same, redirect rules preserved any existing inbound links, and Google Search Console was set up on launch day to ensure clean re-indexing of the new content.
Because electrical customers search Google when they need a tradesperson urgently. A homeowner searching "emergency electrician Wigan" or "EV charger installer Bolton" expects to find a local NICEIC contractor on page one. A site with proper schema, real reviews, and clear service descriptions converts those searches into phone calls.
ElectricalContractor (a specific LocalBusiness subtype recognised by Google), Service entities for each work type, FAQPage where relevant, and BreadcrumbList for site hierarchy. The B-Energy site uses the most specific subtypes available. All standard, none charged as an extra.
We build for trade businesses across Wigan borough and the wider North West. The cluster network covers 19 towns including Hindley, Atherton, Westhoughton, Bolton, Horwich, Leigh, St Helens, Manchester, and beyond — see the full coverage map at /web-design-near-me/. Other recent trade builds include B-Energy (Wigan), Brabazon Landscaping (Bristol), and Prime Tyres (Wigan).
