Overview

Chapman Herbert Architects has operated since 1981 with offices in Adelaide (Kent Town) and Mount Gambier. Led by MD Philip Kidman (BArch, RAIA), they specialize in education, commercial, residential, industrial, health, defence, and correctional architecture with ESD expertise.

The Challenge

A 45+ year practice with government project credentials was running an ancient ASP/Dreamweaver site with table layouts, GIF navigation buttons, and active spam injection on their services page — a critical security and credibility issue.

Our Approach

Built a modern, secure site showcasing their dual-office presence and diverse project portfolio. ESD credentials, defence project experience, and MD profile create an authoritative presence replacing their compromised site.

Key Features

Two-office coverage (Adelaide + Mt Gambier)
ESD specialization featured
Defence and correctional project credentials
MD profile with RAIA membership
Secure modern replacement for compromised site

Why This Design Drives Revenue

Two offices (Adelaide + Mt Gambier) doubles geographic search capture
ESD specialization captures the growing sustainability-conscious market
Modern design replaces ancient ASP/Dreamweaver site with spam injection — critical fix
Defence and correctional project credentials win government contracts
45+ year track record builds confidence for major commissions

The Result

A fast, modern, SEO-optimized website built with Astro — designed to convert visitors into clients and establish a commanding digital presence.
