Case study 1: JA Paving
Industry: Driveways & Paving | Location: Doncaster | Service: Website Redesign + Local SEO | 🏆 Award: Quality Business Awards 2025 - #1 Best Rated Doncaster Driveway Service

JA Paving had an outdated website that wasn't mobile-friendly and generated zero online enquiries.

Since partnering with DAPP, they have won the Quality Business Awards 2025 - #1 Best Rated Doncaster Driveway Service .
What we did
Complete mobile-first website redesign
Professional photography of completed projects
Clear service pages for driveways, patios, and landscaping

Testimonials and reviews displayed sensitively
Mobile-optimised for families researching on phones
