Proposal · prepared for Mallory · 18 May 2026

A few specific fixes for mallory-jewellers.com.

Mallory · 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 when I opened mallory-jewellers.com. The findings are below, then a working rebuild you can click through.


01

The 128-year family lineage from Edward Palmer Mallory in 1898 to fifth-generation Katie Vander Woerd is not surfaced on the homepage. The home opens straight into Patek Philippe and Rolex carousels.

What I saw

Above the fold on mallory-jewellers.com is a Patek Philippe Calatrava banner, a Rolex new-release tile, and an Omega Constellation product strip. The wordmark sits in the top-left. Nowhere on the first viewport does the page say "Founded 1898", name the founder, name the current owner, or signal that this is a fifth-generation family firm. The carousels are watch-brand campaign assets that any authorised retailer in the UK can run; the family heritage is the one credential nobody else on Bridge Street can run.

What the rebuild does

The proposed rebuild opens with the family-story headline, the dates 1898 and 2026, the founder named (Edward Palmer Mallory and Margaret Turnbull) and the current managing director named (Katie Vander Woerd FGA DGA). The Patek and Rolex carousels still run, but lower on the page where they convert by reinforcing the heritage rather than replacing it.

02

There is no /about, /our-story, or /history page on the live site. The five generations of one family are not findable anywhere on mallory-jewellers.com.

What I saw

A walk of the sitemap at /sitemap_pages_1.xml lists 52 page routes covering Rolex, Patek, Omega, Tudor, TAG Heuer, Longines, Panerai, Chopard, returns, sizing, delivery, shared wishlists, and watchmaking procedure. There is no /about, no /our-story, no /history, no /the-family, no page that mentions Edward Palmer Mallory, Patrick Mallory, Robert Vander Woerd, or Katie Vander Woerd by name. The Bath Magazine has published the full lineage; mallory-jewellers.com has not.

What the rebuild does

The rebuild gives the family story its own visible spine: a five-generation timeline on the homepage, a dedicated /our-story page that names every generation, and Person + Organization schema so search engines and AI assistants can cite Mallory as Bath's oldest family jeweller. The press quote from The Bath Magazine is included with a source citation.

03

The 60-year Rolex Authorised Retailer milestone and the Rolex Authorised Service Centre status are buried two clicks deep, rather than carried as a homepage trust signal.

What I saw

The line "Mallory is proud to be part of the worldwide network of Official Rolex Retailers for over 60 years" appears on /pages/rolex-our-showrooms, two clicks from the homepage. Authorised Service Centre status (only a handful of UK retailers hold this) is on /pages/rolex-servicing-procedure, three clicks deep. Above-the-fold trust signals on the current homepage: none of these.

What the rebuild does

The rebuild adds a fixed credentials strip immediately under the hero: Est. 1898, Five generations, Rolex Official Retailer 60+ years, Rolex Authorised Service Centre, Patek Philippe authorised, BADA member. Each badge links to the longer page that proves it.
