Website design for builders and contractors
People hiring a builder are handing over money and their home. A website with real project photos, clear services and proof you are legitimate makes the first message easier to send.
What your customers search for
Customers search for the job and the place: house extension, roof repair, paving, plumbing, electrical, renovations, with a town or suburb. Because the work is expensive, they look for proof before they message anyone.
What your website should show
- Before-and-after photos from real projects, with a short description of each.
- Your services listed clearly: new builds, extensions, roofing, paving, plumbing, electrical and so on.
- Any registrations, certificates or memberships you hold, shown as they are.
- The areas you work in and how far you will travel.
- How a quote works: whether you visit first and what you need to see.
- A WhatsApp button where customers can send photos of the job.
Make WhatsApp do the work
Builders quote better from photos. A WhatsApp button lets customers send pictures and measurements straight away, so you can give a rough idea before you spend time on a site visit.
Example message: Hi, I need a quote for [type of job] in [area]. I can send photos.
Pages you need
Home, Services, Projects, About and Contact. That is 5 pages, which fits the Starter plan.
Which plan fits
Starter (from R1 499) suits a contractor who needs a strong, simple profile. Choose Business (R899 once off, then R499 a month) to add a page for each service and rank for searches like "roof repairs" in your area. See all plans and limits.
Questions people ask
What should a builder's website show first?
Your best finished project and the services you offer. People want to see that you can do the job before they read about your history.
Can I show my company registration and certificates?
Yes, and you should show those you actually hold. They build trust with customers who are about to pay a deposit.
How do customers ask for a quote?
They tap the WhatsApp button and send photos and a description of the job. You reply with questions or a site visit time.
Do I need a page for each service?
On the Business plan you can give each main service its own page, such as roofing or paving. That helps you appear in searches for that service.
