Websites for Builders & Contractors
Showcase work. Win projects. Build reputation.
The objection
“We win work through the architects we already know.”
You do, and they still check you. An architect or a project manager looks you up before putting your name in front of a client, and what they find has to look like a company that finishes things.
“Our photos are on the lads’ phones, not in a folder.”
That is normal, and it is the whole problem. We take what you have, phone photos included, and set them out as finished projects with the scope, the timescale and the location - which is what people actually read.
“We are not putting prices on a website.”
Do not. Nobody expects a price for a build. Publish the process instead: how you survey, how you quote, how variations are handled. That answers the question underneath the price question.
“We tried a website and got nothing but time-wasters.”
Usually because the site said "construction" and nothing else. Naming the work you want - extensions, new build, commercial fit-out - and the areas you cover turns the volume down and the quality up.

Questions
How much does a website for a building company cost?
From £49 per month with design, domain, hosting, maintenance and support included. One-off setup runs £150-£300 depending on how many projects and sections you want to show.
Can I show my previous projects?
Yes, and it is the most important part of the site. You get a project gallery with before and after photos, and you can send us new jobs to add whenever you finish them – that is covered by the monthly fee.
What if I work for developers rather than homeowners?
The emphasis changes, not the approach. The site leads with accreditations, insurance, the types of work you take on and reference projects, which is what a buyer checks before inviting you to tender.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Thirty days notice, no exit fees, and the domain is yours to keep.
