Construction

Web design for construction companies

Construction buyers check you before they call. They want to see completed work, the right accreditations, a real address and evidence that you turn up. Your site has to answer that in under a minute.

Construction is a referral industry with a search habit. A homeowner looking for a builder, a developer shortlisting a contractor and a surveyor checking a firm all do the same thing: they look for completed projects, insurance, accreditations and a way to make contact. If the website is a single page with a stock photo and a Hotmail address, the firm looks smaller than it is.

The work is mostly photography and structure: a project gallery that can be filtered by type, a credible about page with the team and the accreditations, and a quote form that captures the right details the first time. It does not need animation. It needs to load quickly on a site manager's phone.

What works

The pages that win work

Project gallery

Real photographs, organised by sector and type — extensions, renovations, new build, commercial fit-out. Before and after where the transformation is the point.

Accreditations and insurance

Logos and certificate numbers for the bodies you actually belong to, plus public liability and employers' liability confirmation. Linked, not just claimed.

Services by sector

One page per service where it earns one: groundworks, roofing, joinery, refurbishment. Each with the scope, the typical project and the areas covered.

Quote and site-visit form

Property type, scope, postcode, budget range and timeline. Enough to qualify the enquiry without asking a homeowner to write an essay.

The team

Names, roles and photographs. A firm with a visible team reads as established; a firm with no faces reads as a broker.

Service area

The towns and counties you genuinely cover, with a map and a travel statement. This is also what local search uses.

Practicalities

Built for how construction actually works

  • Fast on a phone, outdoorsLarge tap targets, high contrast and a page weight that survives a weak signal on site.
  • Photography that can be updatedA gallery you can add to after each project without calling a developer.
  • Enquiries that reach a personForm submissions delivered by email and Telegram, with an automatic acknowledgement to the enquirer.
  • No stock imageryStock builders are recognisable and undermine trust. If you do not have photography yet, we will plan a shoot rather than pretend.

Questions

The things people ask first

Can you use our existing project photos?

Yes, if they are good enough. Phone photos in poor light will undermine the work. We will tell you honestly and, if needed, arrange a photographer for a day.

Do we need a page for every service?

Only where you have enough to say and enough proof. Five thin service pages are worse than one strong page with anchors. We will map it in the blueprint.

Can the site handle tender documents?

It can host a capability statement and a downloadable company profile. Tender portals are separate; we can link to them but not replace them.

How much does it cost?

A five-page construction site is £995 plus VAT. A ten-page site with sector pages and copywriting is £1,495. A larger gallery or a multi-location firm is quoted after the blueprint.
