About the client

DTL Data Recovery: a UK data recovery laboratory.

DTL Data Recovery is a data recovery laboratory based in Bridgend, South Wales. Its website says it recovers data from hard drives, RAID arrays and servers, SSDs and flash media and laptops, repairs corrupt files, removes lost passwords and securely erases drives, for customers across the UK and Ireland.

The site states that it returns a free evaluation within four hours of receipt, quotes a fixed price, and works on a no data, no fee basis. Those are the business's own claims, and the website is built to put them in front of a visitor straight away.

The person arriving at a data recovery site is usually stressed. A drive has failed, something irreplaceable may be on it, and they want to know three things quickly: can it be recovered, what will it cost, and what do they do next. The site is arranged to answer those in that order.

DPOM designed and built the site, hosts it on its own server and runs it on Nova CMS.

What it needs to do

What the website has to do.

The site needs to be small, quick and direct. A visitor in a hurry should not have to read a long page to find a phone number, and a hesitant one should find enough proof to pick up the phone.

It also has to explain a technical service in plain language, because most visitors do not know the difference between a logical, electrical or mechanical failure.

What the site is built to do

  • Make the phone number unmissableA free helpline number sits in the header and in the first screen, next to a button to start a recovery.
  • Sort the services by what has failedHard drive, RAID and server, SSD and flash, laptop, file and password recovery and secure erasure each get their own section.
  • Show proofA reviews page of customer stories, the lab's facts at a glance and its location in Bridgend, with directions.

What we built

What we built for DTL Data Recovery.

We designed and built the site to be small, fast and direct, on Nova CMS, and host it ourselves.

The build, step by step

  1. Step 1Open with the problem and the numberThe first screen says "Lost your data?", offers a start-my-recovery button and the helpline, and shows the headline facts the lab states: its evaluation time, its fixed prices and its no data, no fee terms.
  2. Step 2Explain each kind of failureA services page goes through the causes of data loss (logical, electrical, mechanical and firmware) and each type of media, in plain English.
    More detail

    This also gives each type of recovery a place to be found for, so someone searching for RAID or SSD recovery lands on the right section.

  3. Step 3Add reviews and a quote formA reviews page carries customer stories, and the contact page has the helpline, the lab's address with directions, and a fixed price quote form.
  4. Step 4Keep it light, and build it on Nova CMSThe home page is light: in our phone test it transferred about 99 KB. It is built on Nova CMS, so the lab can edit any text or image from the page itself, and we run the hosting, SSL certificate and backups.

How it performs

How fast the site loads.

Built light, the home page shows its largest content in 0.9 s on a slow phone connection. We measured this ourselves; we have not been given the site's traffic or enquiry figures, so this page does not quote any.

Measured by DPOM on 17 October 2026 with a headless Chromium browser on our own server, on a first visit with our own and third-party tracking blocked, median of three runs. The phone figure is a 390 pixel screen on a slow 4G connection with a CPU four times slower than normal; the desktop figure is a 1440 pixel screen with no throttling.

What we measured

  • Phone, slow 4GLargest content on screen in 0.9 s on a 390 pixel phone, on a slow 4G connection with a slowed processor.
  • DesktopLargest content on screen in 0.3 s on a 1440 pixel screen.
  • Layout shiftLayout shift of 0 on the phone run, where Google rates anything under 0.1 as good.
