Proposal · prepared for Jody Cory Goldsmiths · 25 May 2026

A few specific fixes for jodycory.co.uk.

Jody Cory Goldsmiths · Bath · website rebuild

I rebuild small-business sites in my spare time when I can see they are leaving conversions on the table. Three things stood out on mobile within ten minutes of opening jodycory.co.uk. Three findings below, then a working rebuild of the homepage you can click through.

9 Abbey Churchyard · Bath · since 2009

A bespoke goldsmith and four-bench workshop, yards from the Abbey's west front. Open the live preview ↗

01

The homepage hero is a stock award badge, not a single ring from the workshop.

What I saw
The first thing a visitor to jodycory.co.uk sees on mobile is a horizontally-scrolling carousel of award-banner graphics ("Retail Jeweller Inspiring Independents 2024", "UK Jewellery Awards Finalist", and so on). The strongest visual asset on the site, the photography of the actual bespoke rings, sits below that carousel and below a tile grid of section links. The Bath Magazine feature on the workshop opens with a Jody-made opal-and-aquamarine drop earring, shot on a pale linen ground. That photograph, or any of the dozen ring photographs already in the asset library, would carry the homepage on its own.
What the rebuild does
After rebuild: a full-bleed photograph of a real Jody commission opens the page (rings on Bath stone, with the loose sapphires and citrine that were set into them). The award credentials move into a quiet credential strip below the hero. The first scroll is the workshop, not the badge wall.
02

Nine years of awards sit only as logo badges, with no narrative.

What I saw
Jody has been a Retail Jeweller Inspiring Independents finalist in 2023 and 2024, shortlisted for the UK Jewellery Awards in 2024 and 2025, and is a current finalist for Bespoke Jeweller of the Year at the 2026 UK Jewellery Awards. She was a Professional Jeweller Awards finalist as far back as 2017 and a Power List 2024 entry. On the live site these surface as a row of disconnected logo PNGs in the footer. No date order, no category named, no link to the press coverage. A first-time visitor scrolling past has no way to tell that this is a nine-year run of national recognition.
What the rebuild does
After rebuild: a chronological awards timeline (2017 to 2026) with each award named and dated, and the current 2026 Bespoke Jeweller of the Year finalist status carried as an eyebrow above the H1. The credentials stop being decoration and start being a sentence.
03

Abbey Churchyard, the on-premises bench and the four-goldsmith team are not above the fold.

What I saw
The shop sits at 9 Abbey Churchyard, in the pedestrianised precinct directly in front of Bath Abbey, yards from the Roman Baths entrance. The workshop is on the same premises, not subcontracted out to Hatton Garden. Four trained goldsmiths share that bench: Jody (35 years, diamond grader), Scott (30 years, Hatton Garden trained), Milly (recycled-metal specialist), Georgia (laser welding). None of that, not the location, not the on-premises bench, not the team, appears above the mobile fold on the current homepage. A visitor who knows Bath has no reason to associate the site with the shop they walked past on the way to the Pump Room.
What the rebuild does
After rebuild: the eyebrow above the H1 reads "9 Abbey Churchyard, Bath, since 2009". The lede names Jody and the bench. A "Meet the bench" block introduces the four goldsmiths with one line each. The shop's address, its precinct, its bench and the people on it lead the page.
