Websites for builders and construction firms

Show prospective clients the work you take on, the projects you have completed and how to enquire. We design and build construction websites with editable project galleries and clear service pages.

02Page planning

Give each project enough detail

Photographs show the finish. A short account of the brief, your role and the work completed helps a prospective client decide whether you handle projects like theirs. We plan the project pages around the material you can publish.

Project galleries
Editable project pages with photography, captions and space to explain the work your company delivered.
Service pages
Separate descriptions for the kinds of work you actually offer, linked to relevant completed projects.
Enquiry details
A form scoped around what you need to assess a job, such as the type of work, location and proposed timing.
Content editing
Reusable page layouts so your team can add completed projects and keep service information current.
03Preparing the brief

What we need from you

Bring your current website, a list of services and a few projects you want to feature. For each project, identify which photographs you have permission to use and whether the client has approved naming the property or location.

We agree who writes the copy, what images are available and who reviews each stage. The quote sets out the page types, features, launch work and handover. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are scoped separately.

04 / Questions

Planning a construction website

Can we add projects ourselves?

Yes, your team can add projects to a construction website we build. We can build editable project pages and show you how to add photographs, write a project summary and publish new work. We agree those editing requirements before the build. Project pages carry photography, captions and space to explain the work your company delivered. They use reusable page layouts, so your team can add completed projects and keep service information current. Service pages describe the kinds of work you actually offer and link to relevant completed projects. For each project you add, you will need photographs you have permission to publish, and you should know whether the client has approved naming the property or location. A short account of the brief, your role and the work completed helps a prospective client decide whether you handle projects like theirs.

Can you work with our existing photographs?

Yes, we can work with your existing photographs. We review the available images while planning the layouts. You supply photographs you have permission to publish, and we identify any gaps before design starts. For each project you want to feature, identify which photographs you have permission to use and whether the client has approved naming the property or location. We plan the project pages around the material you can publish. Photographs show the finish, and a short account of the brief, your role and the work completed sits alongside them, so a prospective client can decide whether you handle projects like theirs. Project pages have room for photography, captions and an explanation of the work your company delivered. During scoping we agree who writes the copy, what images are available and who reviews each stage. When you get in touch, bring your current website, a list of services and a few projects you want to feature, and tell us what you need the new site to do.

Can you replace our existing website?

Yes, we can replace your existing construction website. We review the existing pages and URLs, agree what to keep and map redirects for pages that move. The scope also covers how your team will review the new site before launch. The quote sets out the page types, features, launch work and handover. Redirects, analytics, monitoring and Google Search Console setup are part of launch day on our builds. The new site is built on a staging site for review before anything replaces the old one. To start, send your existing website, a list of services and a few examples of the work you want to feature, and tell us what you need the new site to do. We agree who writes the copy, what images are available and who reviews each stage. Hosting and ongoing maintenance are scoped separately from the build. If the replacement also means moving to a different platform, that work is covered by our CMS migration service.

Do you write the project descriptions?

Copy responsibilities for project descriptions are agreed during scoping. Your team supplies the project facts and approves descriptions of the work. Let us know if you also need help turning that material into page copy. The facts have to come from you, because you know the brief, your role and the work completed on each project, and those are the details that help a prospective client decide whether you handle projects like theirs. You also need to confirm which photographs you have permission to use and whether the client has approved naming the property or location. We plan the project pages around the material you can publish, with photography, captions and space to explain the work your company delivered. During scoping we agree who writes the copy, what images are available and who reviews each stage. After launch, your team can add completed projects using reusable page layouts, and we show you how to add photographs, write a project summary and publish new work.
