Dreckly Hardware — Ask Kevin
Local Retail & Hardware Store
A warm, characterful website for Dreckly Hardware (known locally as 'The Tardis') on Higher Market Street in Looe, connecting locals, trades and holiday homeowners with 5,000+ products, key cutting and special order sourcing.
Established a dependable online hub for Looe's high street hardware shop, making it easy for customers to request hard-to-find items and arrange phone-and-collect orders.
This is one client's genuine experience and does not represent a guarantee of results.
Starting Position
An independent high street hardware store packed floor to ceiling with stock, but missing an effective online presence to explain just how much Kevin could source—saving locals from travelling to out-of-town retail parks.
Business Objective
Showcase an independent Cornish hardware shop as 'The Tardis' with special order requests and key cutting
Website Strategy
Celebrate the shop's friendly personality ('Ask Kevin!') and Tardis reputation. Emphasise that if it's not on the shelf, Kevin can get it within 1–2 days. Target coastal living needs (damp traps, caravan accessories, sealants) alongside everyday DIY.
Visual Approach
Bold cobalt blue and crisp white identity with real shopfront and interior photography, structured category icon grids and clean badges showing 20+ years of local experience.
Page Structure
Hero with immediate call action and shopfront visual, 'The Tardis' product overview, 'Order Virtually Anything' supplier network banner, 12-category essentials grid, coastal living checklist, helpful services section, interior gallery, customer reviews and contact form.
