Whether you build homes, commercial buildings or industrial facilities, clients and consultants check your website to judge your experience and reliability. A strong website helps you get shortlisted, and can support tenders and pre-qualification.

What clients look for

• The types of projects you handle: residential, commercial, industrial, interiors, renovation, civil works
• Completed projects similar to theirs
• Capacity: team, equipment and project size you can manage
• Quality, safety and compliance practices
• Proof of reliability: timelines met, repeat clients, testimonials

Essential pages

1. Services: one page per service type
2. Projects: a portfolio with photos, location type, scope, size and duration for each project
3. About and team: leadership, engineers, experience and certifications
4. Safety and quality: policies, processes and certifications you hold
5. Clients and testimonials, with permission
6. Company profile download for consultants and tender teams
7. Contact and enquiry form with project type, location and timeline

If you specialise in fixing leaks and dampness rather than building, see websites for waterproofing companies.

Show projects properly

Construction is visual. Use progress photos, before and after images, drone shots and short videos, organised by project type. Write a short case study for key projects; see how to write case studies.

Suppliers to the trade: see websites for hardware and building material suppliers.

SEO for contractors

• Target "{service} contractor in {city}" and "commercial construction company {city}"
• Project pages mentioning project type and location naturally
• A complete Google Business Profile with project photos and reviews
• Helpful articles on costs, timelines, approvals and materials

Specialist finishing trades need a slightly different approach; see websites for painting contractors.

Performance with lots of photos

Project galleries get heavy. Compress images and use modern formats so pages stay fast on site visits over mobile data; see image optimization.

Property developers should also see real estate website design. For contractors and builders, see WordPress website development.
