Website design for contractors
A contractor website that turns homeowners into project enquiries — with before/after portfolios, a quote form that asks for the right job details, clear service areas and mobile paths that work on site and at the kitchen table. With 1,500+ completed projects, we know how trades businesses convert online.
No portfolio online means the homeowner picks whoever shows their work
A couple planning a kitchen or dormer opens three tabs after dinner: vans they saw on the street, a neighbour tip, and whoever ranks for “bathroom renovation [town]”. Without recent before/after sets, a clear catchment and a quote form that asks for photos, they cannot judge finish quality — so the job goes to the contractor whose site already looks like a job file.
Contractors do not need a dentist intake form or a Funda-style listing feed. They need a digital yard: project galleries by trade, services split into renovation, extension, dormer and bathroom, certifications and insurance in view, and a form that filters jobs that are too small before you drive over. Miss that, and you pay in tyre-kicker calls and WhatsApp chats that never become priced work.
Marketplace apps and Facebook groups own a slice of demand, but your website is where you control the story: real timelines, the towns you cover, and proof from private clients — without paying a lead fee every time someone compares three quotes.
What is included in a contractor website
Every block serves a homeowner weighing who gets on their roof or in their kitchen — portfolio proof, quote intake, catchment and certifications — not a relabelled salon or clinic template.
Project portfolio with before/after
Kitchens, bathrooms, dormers and extensions in clear before/after sets with short job notes — so a homeowner can picture their own renovation, not scroll stock building photos.
Quote form that asks the right questions
Capture trade type, rough size, address area, timing and photos of the space — so your first reply can filter tyre-kickers and price the jobs you actually want.
Service area made obvious
Towns and postcodes you cover on the homepage and contact path — homeowners outside your catchment stop enquiring, and locals see you work where they live.
Services split by job type
Separate pages or clear blocks for renovation, extension, dormer, bathroom and roof work — matching how people search, not one vague “building services” paragraph.
Certifications & insurance on show
VCA, warranty schemes and liability cover where they apply — visible next to CTAs so trust is settled before someone opens a WhatsApp chat with three unknown vans.
Homeowner references
Short quotes from private clients about cleanliness, planning and finish — the signals that decide who gets the kitchen job when prices are close.
Realistic timelines on the site
Honest ranges for survey, quote and typical start windows per job type — fewer calls from people who needed someone “tomorrow morning” for a full extension.
Mobile on site and at home
Fast load on site wifi and at the kitchen table: sticky “request a quote”, photo upload that works on a phone, and service pages readable with dusty thumbs.
How a contractor website project runs
From walking through how quotes arrive on the phone today to measuring which project pages and forms bring kitchen and dormer enquiries worth pricing.
Discovery on the yard
We map how jobs arrive today: Google, van branding, referrals and marketplace apps. We note which trades you take, minimum job size and where quote requests get lost between phone and WhatsApp.
Portfolio & quote architecture
Structure splits project galleries by trade, service pages for renovation versus extension versus dormer, a quote form that asks for photos and size, and a clear catchment block — not one “About us” page hiding the work.
Design for trust on a phone
Visual design puts finished work first: before/after pairs that read on a small screen, CTAs that say “Request a quote”, and room for VCA and warranty marks without looking like a flyer from 2012.
Build, train, hand over
We build the site, set the quote form and photo galleries, and train you or the office to add new projects after a kitchen handover — without calling a developer for every bathroom set.
Launch & measure quote quality
Launch tracks quote form starts, photo uploads and which service pages homeowners read before submitting. You see whether Google traffic brings kitchen and dormer jobs — not endless “can you hang a shelf” messages.
Why contractors trust us with their digital yard
Trade-aware delivery: we plan around how private clients compare finish quality, catchments and quote clarity — not clinic intakes or dinner reservations.
Trade-yard experience
We design for before/after proof, quote filtering, VCA signals and the difference between a shelf job and a full extension enquiry.
Local catchment clarity
Town and service pages wired so someone searching “dormer [city]” lands on work you actually do in that area — then can request a quote without bouncing to a marketplace.
Measurable quote quality
We track form starts, photo uploads and service-page paths so you know the site fills the pipeline with jobs you can price.
One partner from site to search
Website and portfolio first; local SEO and Google Ads when you need more regional demand — one team that has seen a dusty phone on a scaffold, not five suppliers who never opened a job folder.
What shapes the scope of a contractor website?
Scope follows how many trades you publish, how deep the before/after library needs to go, whether quote forms must accept photo uploads, catchment complexity and whether you filter by minimum job size. Fixed deliverables after a short yard intake — not an open-ended build while crews are on site.
Essential contractor site
Homepage, services overview, project gallery, team or about, contact, catchment note and a clear quote CTA. Ideal for a single-trade firm that needs to look trustworthy beyond a Facebook page.
Portfolio-ready contractor site
Everything in Essential, plus trade-split galleries, richer service pages (renovation, extension, dormer, bathroom), photo-capable quote forms, certifications block, homeowner references and analytics on quote starts. Built for firms that grow through owned enquiries.
Multi-crew or multi-trade brand
Several crews, sub-brands or language variants with shared project libraries. Scoped after we map trades, catchments and who answers quotes day to day.
We lock the build scope once we have seen your project photos, trades list and how quotes arrive today. Request a contractor website quote for a fixed deliverable list and launch plan — that is the next step when you want a figure tied to your yard, not a band published on this page.
