How it started...
Portal Drones specialises in professional drone services for the property sector and beyond. From estate agents and developers to construction and public-sector projects, their work is built around accuracy, clarity and delivering exactly what clients need.
Portal Drones came to us at the beginning of their journey with a clear idea of the service they wanted to offer - but they needed the brand and platform to match the quality of their work.
The brief wasn’t just “build us a website”. It was about creating something solid from the ground up. A brand that felt professional without being overcomplicated and marketing that reflected the care and precision that goes into every flight. We began by developing the Portal Drones logo - clean, confident and modern. Something that would sit just as comfortably on a website as it would on printed material or branded content.
From there, we built a fully bespoke Drupal 11 CMS website. The structure needed to feel clear and straightforward, but strong enough to grow with them. Their work is visual by nature, so imagery had to take centre stage. We focused on clean layouts, strong calls-to-action and a user journey that made it easy for property professionals to understand exactly what was on offer.
Alongside the website, we set up professional email hosting and ensured the technical foundations were solid - because reliability matters just as much as design.
The journey so far...
Since launch, the relationship has continued to grow. We manage Portal Drones’ social media, creating imagery and short-form reels that showcase their drone services in action. Whether it’s roof inspections, mapping surveys or property flyovers, the goal is always the same - make the content feel real, useful and relevant to the sectors they work in.
The print side of things has developed alongside the website. We’ve designed leaflets that feel like an extension of the brand rather than a separate piece of work. Same colours, same tone, same straightforward approach - just adapted for something you can hand to someone at a meeting or leave behind after a site visit.
As Portal Drones has taken on more projects, the website hasn’t stood still either. Services have been refined, new work added, imagery updated. Because it’s built on Drupal, it’s easy to keep things current without having to rebuild pages every time something changes. It’s more about steady tweaks and additions than big dramatic overhauls - which suits how they operate. We've also undertaken a Search Engine Optimisation project for Portal Drones, targeting keywords within their operational area to increase their organic reach.
What’s worked well with Portal Drones is the shared understanding that every project has its own story. The brand doesn’t shout - it demonstrates. It’s a partnership built on steady progress rather than quick wins, and that’s exactly how we like to work.
What we've created for Portal Drones...
Give the Dog a Bone understood what we were trying to build from day one. They’ve taken care of our logo, website, social media and print, and everything feels consistent and professional. The Drupal site gives us a strong platform to showcase our work, and the ongoing support has been straightforward and reliable. It’s been a solid partnership throughout.
