Features
-
Trade site for Lastrella, a sourcing and supply operation bringing European architectural surfaces — porcelain slabs, large-format tile and ventilated facade cladding — directly to construction projects across the Gulf.
-
Built end to end — design, build, hosting and delivery.
-
Wholesale only. The site is built for trade buyers, contractors and specifiers rather than retail, and the content is structured around that from the first screen.
-
Direct factory sourcing is the pitch, so the site leads on supplier access and project supply rather than on a browsable catalogue.
-
Built on WordPress with a custom theme rather than a commercial one, so nothing ships that the site doesn’t use.
-
Google Site Kit wiring in Search Console and Analytics, so indexing and traffic data sit in the admin rather than a separate dashboard.
-
Self-hosted with SSL and authenticated outbound mail.
-
Lean plugin footprint, keeping the attack surface and update burden small.
-
Content editable without technical knowledge — copy, images and page content from the admin.
-
Surface and material ranges managed as structured content rather than hand-built pages.
-
Traffic and search performance visible directly in the admin through Site Kit.
-
Surface and material ranges covering porcelain slabs, large-format tile and facade cladding.
-
Bespoke production enquiries, for buyers specifying their own format, finish or volume through partner factories.
-
Project-oriented enquiry flow, aimed at contractors and specifiers working to a build schedule.
-
Enquiry forms handled in the site’s own code — submissions are validated and mailed by purpose-written logic rather than a form plugin.
-
Regional focus on the GCC, with the content written for buyers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh.
