Websites that turn a project photo into a phone call.
Nobody fills in a contact form about a £90,000 extension at half past seven in the evening. They ring. The site's job is to make ringing feel like a safe decision, and to make the number impossible to miss.
What a trades or construction site actually needs
Projects, photographed properly
Real jobs with before, during and after, the brief, the timescale and the constraint you worked around. Two well documented projects beat forty thumbnails.
Accreditations above the fold
Gas Safe, NICEIC, CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, FMB. This is the difference between a tradesman and a company, and it is what a homeowner checks.
Click-to-call built for a phone
A sticky call button on mobile, the number as text rather than inside an image, and WhatsApp for the customer who would rather send a photo than talk.
Service area pages that are not duplicates
A page per town with genuinely different content: local projects, local planning quirks, real travel times. Spun location pages stopped working years ago.
Insurance and guarantees stated plainly
Public liability cover, workmanship warranty, retention terms. The homeowner who has been let down before is looking for exactly this.
Google Business Profile and reviews
For most trades the map pack produces more work than the website does. We treat the profile as the primary asset and the site as what confirms the decision.
What most construction sites get wrong
A gallery with no context
Sixty untitled photos prove you own a camera. One project written up with the brief and the problem solved proves you can run a job.
The phone number as an image
It cannot be tapped, copied or read by a screen reader, and on mobile that is most of your traffic gone.
Twenty near-identical town pages
Built in an afternoon, treated as doorway pages by Google, and they can drag the rest of the site down with them.
No sense of scale
A homeowner cannot tell whether you do £5,000 bathrooms or £2m commercial fit-outs. Both types of enquiry arrive, and both waste your time.
What good looks like.
Perfect for you if…
Good to know.
What does a construction company website cost?
£2,500 to £6,000 for a trades site with project write-ups and service areas. Contractors needing tender documents, careers pages and multiple divisions run £8,000 to £15,000.
Do we need a website if we get work from Checkatrade?
Yes, and for a specific reason: people check you elsewhere before they ring. They also cost you a lead fee every time. A site plus a strong Google profile is the route to work that does not carry a commission.
Can you use photos from my phone?
Usually yes, if they are in focus and framed. We will tell you honestly which ones are not good enough, because a bad photo of good work costs you the job.
How many service area pages should we have?
Only as many as you can write properly. Six real ones beat thirty spun ones, and thirty spun ones can actively harm the site.
How long does it take?
Four to six weeks. Getting project photos and the details of each job out of you is the step that sets the pace, so we usually start collecting in week one.
We build for these too.
