These are three other designs that you could use for a bulders website. We can easily help you customise these designs and make any of these into your own website.
We use the Squarespace platform as our designs look so good on Squarespace. When you’ve got your website finished and it’s all working the way you want you’ll be able to add contents and make edits yourself.
Here are the advantages of using one of our website templates on Squarespace:
Why a builder might use Squarespace
Professional first impression — A well-designed site can make a small building business look established and trustworthy.
Showcase your work — Project galleries are ideal for displaying before/after photos, extensions, renovations, kitchens, new builds, etc.
Easy to update — You can add completed projects, testimonials and new services yourself without paying a developer every time.
Mobile-friendly — Potential customers often find builders on their phones, and Squarespace templates are designed to work across devices.
Generate enquiries — Contact forms, click-to-call buttons and quote-request forms make it easy for visitors to get in touch.
Local SEO — You can create pages targeting services and areas, such as “Home Extensions in Southend” or “Builders in Essex.”
Integrates useful features — Reviews, maps, social media, email marketing and analytics can all be incorporated into the site.
Lower ongoing complexity — Hosting, security and the core website platform are managed for you, rather than having to maintain a custom WordPress site.
Good for reputation — A website gives prospective customers somewhere to verify your company, see previous work and read testimonials before requesting a quote.
The biggest reason
For a builder, the website doesn't need to be complicated. Its main job is to answer:
“Can I trust this company to do a good job, and can I easily contact them?”
