EarthForce Lightning Protection had a nine-year-old website that undersold real work on landmarks like HMS Victory and the RNLI. Notus rebuilt it as a full web design project that finally looks the part.
The rebuild
A site built to match the work
Michael Ward runs EarthForce Lightning Protection from Littlehampton, covering installations, testing and repairs across the South of England. His old WordPress.com site was nine years out of date and undersold real work on landmarks like HMS Victory and the RNLI. Notus rebuilt it on a self-hosted WordPress site in three weeks, on a modest budget, with a named project gallery, a tidied-up and modernised logo, corrected facts throughout, and SEO foundations built in from day one so nothing already ranking was lost.
The build
What actually changed
Live in three weeks
From first call to launch took three weeks, migrating off WordPress.com entirely without losing any existing rankings.
A modest build, not a compromise
Delivered as an affordable Swift-tier build, proof that a credible trade website doesn't need a big budget.
Built to be found, not just seen
Every old URL redirected and Rank Math configured from launch, so search engines see an accurate, trustworthy site from day one.
A real enquiry within a month
Within a month of launch the site had already generated a genuine commercial enquiry, from a facilities contractor asking about lightning protection risk assessments.
Delivery
Live in three weeks, working from day one
EarthForce Lightning Protection came to Notus with a site that had not been touched in nine years. Three weeks later, on 11 August 2026, it was live.
The website for my business was looking old and tired. I spoke with Luke and told him what I needed, and he understood exactly what was required and designed a great looking, easy to navigate website highlighting the essential services that I, as a business, provide. Luke even helped me resolve a data storage issue that had frustrated me for a long time. If you need a great service within a great timeframe and a company that’s easy to deal with, then Notus Digital is the place to come. Five stars!
