With Bear Hands: a website built to let the craftsmanship do the talking
With Bear Hands is a Cheddar-based business specialising in the design and creation of handcrafted cabins, treehouses and unique spaces. Founded by designer, maker and builder Oli Lee, the business creates individual spaces that are designed around their location rather than taken from a standard template — from cabins tucked into the landscape to treehouses and retreats, every project has its own character.
The brief
With such a strong portfolio of beautifully crafted spaces, the website didn't need unnecessary bells and whistles. What it needed was a clean, highly visual site where the photography, craftsmanship and the story behind the business could take centre stage.
It also needed to capture something that's harder to put into words — the personal, hands-on approach Oli brings to every project, from the initial idea through to the finished build.
What we did
We designed and built a new website that gives each project room to breathe, letting the photography do most of the talking rather than crowding it out with unnecessary content.
Alongside the design and content, we built the site with organic search in mind, helping With Bear Hands strengthen its visibility across Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall — the regions the business works across.
The result
With Bear Hands now has a website that matches the quality of the work it showcases — clean, considered and built around the client rather than a template, in exactly the same way the business approaches its own projects.
"Christian got it straight away. I only gave a simple brief and they took it from there — the finished website is exactly what I had in mind." Oli Lee, With Bear Hands
