Web Design for Builders

Web design for builders that brings enquiries to you

A Wirral construction firm came to us with a website only a couple of months old. It had brought in nothing, and every job still came from word of mouth. Eight months after we rebuilt it, the site had brought in 100+ qualified enquiries. Their extensions and lofts average £30,000 or more.

The Problem

Why most builder websites fail to generate work

Most trade websites were built quickly and cheaply and have never been touched since. Here’s what that costs you:

  • You've got a website, but it has never brought in a single enquiry
  • Every job comes through referrals, and they look you up before they ring
  • Extensions, lofts and new builds share one services page, so you rank for none of them
  • Builders who are no better than you get the work because they're easier to find
  • Your contact form asks homeowners to do all the work, so most of them don't bother
  • Customers can't see your past projects, insurance or accreditations before they call

What We Build

What goes into a builder website that actually works

Built for your trade, not a generic template with your logo swapped in.

Build stories from your own photos

F.W.S Builders sent us more than 500 photos from their jobs. We sorted them into before, during and after, so a homeowner can see what week three of an extension looks like before signing anything.

See the F.W.S build

Instant quote calculator

The homeowner answers a few questions and gets a ballpark figure straight away, and you get the project details with the lead. On our Wirral client's site, the calculator and contact form brought in 100+ qualified enquiries in eight months.

See the case study

A page for every job

Extensions, loft conversions and new builds each get their own page. Someone searching 'loft conversion [your town]' lands on a page about lofts, with your loft jobs on it.

Insurance, accreditations and payments

Your public liability cover, any trade memberships and how your stage payments work, shown where people look. Homeowners spending £30,000 or more want to trust you before they get in touch.

Area pages that aren't copies

F.W.S Builders has seven area pages, from Rainham to Benfleet, each written about the houses in that town. Google can tell when seven pages are one page with the name swapped.

Reviews and testimonials

Your verified Google reviews on the page automatically. On big projects, real reviews are the thing that closes the trust gap before you've even spoken to them.

  • GoogleGoogle review★★★★★
    I highly recommend WAT Website. I receive numerous emails each month from website designers and SEO agencies, but I rarely respond. However, the team took the time to contact me, explain their services clearly, and demonstrate how my website could be improved and made more efficient. I decided to respond, and I am very pleased that I did. They sent me a personalised video explaining what they do, how they work, and the associated costs, with no hidden fees. Once I explained what I wanted, the team handled everything efficiently and remained helpful throughout the process. They were always willing to answer my questions, and there were no unexpected costs after payment. For me, this is a classic example of getting what you pay for. I cannot recommend WAT Websites highly enough.

    Really happy with the work WAT Websites have done honestly couldn't have asked for better. We already had a website made, but it needed a bit of a touch up and they came in and did exactly that. They also added some great features to the website which have been amazing! The SEO side has also been a big positive. They didn’t just make the website look good and leave it at that, they actually worked on the SEO, making sure the site was properly structured and optimised to help it show up better on Google. As well as doing all of this they made sure to keep me in the loop of things, by explaining what they've done and why they've done it at each stage. They breakdown everything very well. They're the best in the game! If you need a perfect website built with the right SEO built in then I can't recommend WAT Websites enough. Super responsive, very friendly, professional and know what they're talking about!

Questions about builder websites

Still unsure?

Call or email and you get Will or Tom, the two people who build the sites.

07518 264146info@watwebsites.co.uk
Have you built websites for construction businesses?

Yes. A construction firm on the Wirral came to us with a site a couple of months old that had brought in nothing. Eight months after we rebuilt it, the new site had brought in 100+ qualified enquiries. We also built the 19-page site for F.W.S Builders in Rainham, Essex, with a page for each of their five services and seven towns.

What should a builder's website include?

It needs real project photos, a page for each type of job and the areas you work in. Add your insurance, genuine Google reviews, a quote form and a phone number that's easy to tap on a mobile. Your free one-page site covers the essentials on one page. Separate service and area pages come on top when you want them.

Can I rank for searches like 'builder in [my area]'?

Yes, but it takes time. Extensions and loft conversions are some of the most competitive local searches. The top spots usually belong to firms that have traded for 15 or 20 years. In its first eight months, our Wirral client's site showed up in Google searches more than 33,000 times. It got 500+ clicks, and both numbers are still climbing every month. They aren't in the top three for their main searches yet. Anyone promising that quickly isn't being straight with you.

How do I make my building website stand out?

Real photos of your own work, honest reviews, and clear information about what you actually build. Most builder websites are vague template jobs full of stock photos. A site showing your work, in your area, stands out straight away.

How quickly can you build a construction website?

Your free one-page site is live within a week of us getting your services, areas and project photos. Bigger sites take longer, and we agree the date with you before we start. F.W.S Builders' 19-page site was ready six days after they paid, and went live two days later once their photos were in.

How much does a website and SEO cost?

Your first website is free. We design, build and host a one-page site, and you buy your own domain, about £12 a year. Ongoing SEO is a separate monthly cost, and across the UK it typically starts from around £400 a month. Building work is high value. Our Wirral client's extensions and lofts average £30,000 or more, so one extra job is worth a lot. If you want more pages or SEO from us later, we tell you the price before any work starts.
