Websites for Tolworth trades, contractors and service businesses. We help you show completed work, explain the areas you cover and collect useful project enquiries. Based in New Malden.
Show the work you want to be hired for, with a clear route to request a quote.
01Local
Show your work and the area you cover
Tolworth’s district centre is around the Broadway, with road connections nearby. If you travel to customers, your website should explain where you take on work as well as where you are based. We organise that information alongside your services and completed projects.

HWB Construction
A WordPress website built around completed projects, service information and enquiry routes. Our work includes design, development and ongoing maintenance.
We are based in Tolworth but work further afield. How should the site show that?
The site should state where you are based and, separately, where you take on work. For a business based in Tolworth that travels to customers, list the areas you actually cover and any limits on the jobs you accept, such as the types of work you do not take on. We organise that coverage information alongside your services and relevant completed projects, so a visitor can see what you do, where you do it and an example of the result. Service and coverage pages are written in plain language. Only list places you genuinely work in, because a page naming an area you do not serve brings enquiries you will have to turn down. The areas and limits are yours to supply, and we will ask for them during planning along with the projects you want to show. Your team can update the coverage details later through the content management system as the business changes.
What do you need for a contractor’s project gallery?
For a contractor’s project gallery we need three things for each project: photographs you have permission to use, a description of your role on the job, and the details you are allowed to publish. Permission matters because a photograph may belong to a client or a photographer, and a finished job may be someone’s home. Client names, addresses and results need your approval before they appear. Where a client has not agreed, the project can be described without identifying them. The description of your role tells a visitor what you were responsible for on that job. On a WordPress site we set up a content structure for projects, so your team can add completed work after launch using the same layout. For a Tolworth contractor, choose the projects that represent the jobs you want to be hired for, and we will organise them alongside the matching services.
Can the website produce a price automatically?
It can, but only once your pricing rules are clear, and we would not promise it before seeing them. One option is a quote form that collects the details you need to prepare a price yourself, such as the type of job, the location and any photographs. If a form meets the need we will say so, because it is a smaller project. If you want the website to calculate a price, we need to understand how you price work today: which factors change the figure, which jobs follow a rule, and which need your approval before a customer sees a number. Quoting systems are custom application work. For a Tolworth trade or contractor, the quoting rules and any connection to the business systems you already use are scoped before development. We write the recommendation into the scope, with what we have assumed, so you can check it against how you quote.
Can you take over an unfinished website?
Yes, we take on unfinished websites, and the work begins with a review. For a Tolworth business with a half-finished build from another developer, we first check what access you have to the code, the domain and the hosting, because those decide what can be recovered. We then review the site itself and give you a written assessment of what is there, what is wrong and what is salvageable. That assessment is a smaller commitment than a rebuild and can avoid one. From it we can explain which parts are usable and which need replacing, and you decide how to proceed. If access is missing, for example to the domain or the hosting account, we will tell you what needs to be sorted out before work can continue. When the agreed work is complete, the code sits in a repository you own with a README, so the site is not tied to us.
