De Mechelse Slotenmaker

De Mechelse Slotenmaker helps people in Mechelen and ten surrounding towns. Someone who is locked out does not want to scroll or fill in a form: they want to call. The site puts calling and WhatsApp first and gives every service and every town its own page with its own text.

The brief

Calling first, and no copy-paste per town

Many locksmith sites build a hundred town pages where only the place name changes. Google notices, and so does a visitor. Here every town got its own hand-written page, and every service, from opening a door to opening a safe, got a page that explains what happens and how quickly you get someone on the line.

What we built

What is on the site.

Call and WhatsApp first

Call and WhatsApp buttons at the top of every page and a fixed call bar on the phone. Deliberately no form: in an emergency, people call.

Eleven service pages

From opening a door and replacing a cylinder to burglary damage, multipoint locks, opening a car and opening a safe.

Ten town pages

Lier, Willebroek, Boom, Londerzeel, Bonheiden, Duffel, Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Boortmeerbeek, Zemst and Rumst, each with its own text.

A French landing page

One focused page for French speakers looking for a serrurier in Mechelen, without maintaining a full French site.

Tested before it goes live

31 test files check, among other things, the pages, the structured data and that an unfinished town page never goes online.

Structured data for a locksmith

Locksmith data with opening hours and the service area as a list of towns.
