Locorum Garden Design Website Design Case Study, North London
Website Design Overview
Locorum is a garden design studio based in Hampstead and Highgate, working with clients across North London. The studio creates natural, carefully considered outdoor spaces, with a focus on planting, structure, biodiversity and gardens that feel connected to the people who use them. The project gave Sussex Web Designs the opportunity to create a website for a design-led business where tone and structure both needed to work together. This is an important part of Sussex website design projects, especially when a business needs to show the quality of its work without making the website feel heavy or overcomplicated.
The website needed to present Locorum’s garden design services, project examples and North London positioning in a calm and refined way. Large photography was used to show the character of the gardens, while the page structure helped visitors understand the studio’s services, view completed projects and move towards making an enquiry.
Our Approach
The website was built in WordPress so Locorum could update the site regularly without needing a developer for every change. This was important because the business relies on new project images, service updates and written content to keep the website active and useful over time. The design approach was centred on letting the garden photography lead the page. Locorum’s work is visual and detail-led, so the website needed generous image areas, calm spacing and a structure that gave each project room to breathe. The layout was kept refined rather than busy, helping the gardens feel like the main focus. The content structure was planned around the way potential clients are likely to browse. Visitors can quickly understand the studio’s garden design services, view project examples and learn about Locorum’s approach before making contact. This gave the client a website that felt appropriate for a premium garden design business, while still being manageable for day-to-day editing.
The Results
The finished website gave Locorum a refined online home for its garden design work, with space to present the studio’s services, project photography and North London focus in a way that feels calm and considered. The site supports the business by helping potential clients understand the style of work, view completed gardens and make contact when they are ready to discuss a project. Because the website was built in WordPress, Locorum can continue updating the site with new garden projects, seasonal content and service information without relying on ongoing developer support for every edit. This gives the client more control over the website and helps keep the content current as the business develops.
The result was a business website that matched the quality of Locorum’s garden design work while giving the client a flexible platform for future updates. For Sussex Web Designs, the project shows how a design-led website can combine strong imagery, careful structure and manageable editing tools for a specialist business.
The Locorum website shows how a carefully planned business website can support a visual, specialist service without making the content feel crowded or difficult to manage. For a garden design studio, the website needs to do more than list services. It has to show the quality of the work, give visitors confidence in the designer’s approach and make it easy for the right enquiries to come through. By building the site in WordPress, Locorum gained a website that could grow with the business. New projects, images and content can be added over time, helping the website stay active while giving the client control over regular updates.
