The challenge

01 / 04

Two decades of trust, stuck in a dated website.

Salandria has been demolishing buildings across Toronto since 2002: high-rises, industrial sites, infrastructure jobs that demand real expertise in safety, environmental rules, and scale.

Their reputation with Toronto procurement teams was rock solid. Their website was a different story. Dated layouts, hard to use on a phone, and built before half their customers ever researched vendors online. The people who actually book demolition contracts couldn't find what they needed without picking up the phone.

The challenge: modernize the site without losing the gritty, industrial legacy that built the company. It couldn't look like a startup. It needed to look exactly like what Salandria is: a trusted, experienced, no-nonsense Toronto institution.

What we did

02 / 04

Industrial design, built for business buyers.

We started with the customer's questions, not the visuals. Every visitor needs to answer: Can Salandria handle a job my size? What's their safety record and insurance? Can I see similar projects? How fast can I get a quote?

Visually, we leaned into the reality of demolition: bold type, structured layouts, raw photos of real job sites, and colors pulled from concrete, steel, and equipment yellow. No stock photos. No "we are passionate about" copy. Just facts, projects, and a clear path to a quote.

  • Can they handle a job of my size and complexity?
  • What's their safety record, certifications, and insurance?
  • Can I see comparable projects they've done?
  • How fast can I get a quote, and what do they need from me?
In business-to-business, the brief beats the brochure. Buyers don't want to be wowed. They want to be informed.

The results

04 / 04

A website that finally matched the company.

The new site changed the firm's trajectory right away. Quote requests through the website rose 264% in the first six months. Visits to the business service pages quadrupled. Salandria now ranks #1 on Google for "Toronto demolition" and leads the Maps results across the region.

The bigger win was internal: the sales team stopped fielding tire-kicker calls and started closing qualified procurement inquiries. The average project size coming through the website is meaningfully larger than what the old form attracted.

Over two decades of legacy, finally told online.
