Stewart Eyecare Website Redesign

Stewart Eyecare Website Redesign | Verum Digital

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Stewart Eyecare is an independent optician based in Whickham, serving customers across the North East for over 30 years.

Following a change in ownership, the business wanted to modernise its online presence and create a website that better reflected the quality of its eyecare services and growing range of designer eyewear.

The previous website was very outdated, with limited flexibility for making changes and presenting the latest products. The new owners wanted a more modern website that could showcase designer glasses and sunglasses, highlight established eyewear brands and make important information easier for customers to access.

Verum Digital designed and developed a new website using Payload CMS, creating dedicated areas for eyecare services, designer eyewear collections, eye health information and appointment enquiries.

The result was a more professional and flexible website that reflected the direction of the business while making everyday content management easier for the Stewart Eyecare team.

CHALLENGE 01
Modernising An Established Independent Optician

Stewart Eyecare needed to bring its website up to date without losing the reputation and personal approach it had built over more than three decades.

THE CHALLENGE

An outdated website that no longer reflected the business

Stewart Eyecare had an established reputation in the local community, but its previous website was no longer representative of the business.

With new owners looking to modernise the practice, the website needed to reflect a more contemporary direction while continuing to communicate the professional, personal eyecare services customers already trusted.

A particular priority was designer eyewear. The practice stocked a range of recognised eyewear brands, but needed a better way to showcase glasses and sunglasses online.

The website also needed to be easier to maintain. Adding new eyewear, updating content and keeping information current should not require unnecessary development work every time something changed.

THE SOLUTION

A modern Payload CMS website with dedicated designer eyewear collections

Verum Digital redesigned and developed the Stewart Eyecare website using Payload CMS, creating a refreshed online experience with clearer navigation, modern layouts and more flexible content management.

The new website introduced dedicated eyewear collections, giving customers a way to explore designer brands and browse glasses and sunglasses before visiting the practice.

Eyecare services were organised into clearer pages covering eye examinations, contact lenses, children's eyecare and specialist optical services.

Supporting content areas were also created for eye health information, FAQs, business details and appointment enquiries.

Payload CMS gave the Stewart Eyecare team a more practical foundation for updating eyewear collections, service information and website content as the business continues to evolve.

What We Delivered

Project Outcome

The completed website gave Stewart Eyecare a more modern and professional online presence that better reflects the business under its new ownership.

Customers can now explore designer glasses and sunglasses, learn about the different eyecare services available and find clearer routes towards arranging an appointment.

The dedicated eyewear collections provide a more effective way to showcase established designer brands, while the improved service pages help visitors understand the clinical care and optical services offered by the practice.

Behind the scenes, Payload CMS gives Stewart Eyecare a more flexible way to manage content, update eyewear collections and keep the website current as new products and services become available.

The result is a website that supports both sides of the business: its long-established reputation for professional eyecare and its more modern focus on designer eyewear, customer experience and ongoing growth.
