Websites for construction firms.
I build websites for builders, contractors and architects that let your finished projects do the talking, show your accreditations and safety credentials, and turn interest into quote requests worth pricing.
What a construction firm's website has to do
Let the work speak
Clients hire on evidence. Finished projects grouped by type, each with a few lines on the brief and the build, are your strongest sales tool.
Get through the checks
Commercial clients and main contractors look for CHAS, Constructionline, insurance and your health and safety approach before they shortlist you. Homeowners look for the FMB, TrustMark and warranties.
Bring in enquiries worth pricing
A form that asks for the type of project, location, rough budget and timing, so you can tell which jobs are right for you before you visit.
What's usually included
- Project portfolioCase studies with good photos, before-and-afters and what each job involved.
- AccreditationsRIBA and ARB for architects; FMB, CIOB, NHBC, Constructionline or CHAS for builders and contractors.
- Health and safety pageYour safety accreditations, policies and approach to CDM, for commercial clients.
- A structured quote formProject type, location, budget range and timing, in one short form.
- Sector and service pagesNew builds, extensions, refurbishment, commercial: one clear page each.
- Areas you coverWhere you work, so enquiries come from your patch and local searches find you.

Which accreditations should I show?
All the ones that apply to you. Architects need ARB registration to use the title 'architect', and many are RIBA members too. Builders and contractors often show the FMB, CIOB, NHBC, TrustMark or Constructionline, and commercial work usually needs a health and safety scheme such as CHAS or SafeContractor. Add your insurance and any warranty schemes, and I'll link each badge to where it can be checked.
How should I present my portfolio?
Group projects by type, such as extensions, new builds or commercial fit-outs, so visitors find examples like theirs. For each one, show several good photos, including before-and-afters for renovations, and a short account of the brief, the challenges and how long it took. A line from the client is worth more than anything I could write. Add new projects soon after you finish them.
What should my quote form ask?
The type of project, the location, a rough budget, when they'd like to start and whether they have planning permission or drawings yet. That's enough to tell whether a job is right for you without putting people off, and you can ask for plans once you're talking.
Is video or drone footage worth adding?
If you have it, yes. A short walkthrough of a finished build, a time-lapse or aerial footage shows scale and quality in a way photos can't. I'll embed it from YouTube or Vimeo so it doesn't slow the site down.
How much does a construction website cost?
A custom-built site is £600 and a WordPress site is £800, both paid upfront, half to start and half when you're happy and it's live, plus hosting and care from £10 a month. Each includes a design of your own, all the pages a typical small business needs, the SEO basics, an SSL certificate and a month of support after launch. Or pay £99 a month, all in, with nothing upfront. Client portals or tender systems are bigger jobs, so tell me about them and I'll give you a price.
Tell me about your company.
A couple of sentences is plenty. I read every message myself and usually reply within about an hour during the working day.

- 2If it sounds right, we have a quick chat and agree what's included.
- 3No pressure and no obligation. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you.
