Everyone uses the internet these days, so websites are essential in today’s business world.
An efficient site adds to the mix of branding for, but also in generating new sales enquiries for you.
They are only part of the overall strategy of marketing for builders, but are probably the first thing to be considered.
The site is your shop window; as technology has moved so quickly, having a good website with high quality pictures is important. You want your potential clients to stay on your website and contact you, rather than leaving and going to your competitor.

Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers? A website brief helps you reflect on the kind of website you need, but also helps guide the web designers.
There are a lot of things you can include in the brief, if anything it saves time discussing the same points with different designers over a phone call.
Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:
There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.
The costs do vary significantly, based on the size of site you want, how many pages, and the designer you choose.
All creative agencies are private businesses and need to make a profit. You can get a basic website design set up, which should cost around £1000.
Paying a lot for your site does not necessarily mean you are getting more. It is wise to shop around and get a few quotes to compare, to ensure your are not being overcharged.
We advise choosing a web design agency who is local, that way you can visit them, talk through their experience and get a feel for what they are like.
It also gives you a chance for them to be able to know your company and identify the unique selling points they can put onto your new website.
Looking at other competitors is a good idea, see what your competition is doing, see what works and what does not work. You want to get as much value from the designer as possible to ensure it is as good as it possibly can be.
Once your website is created, this is where the hard work starts, you need to get people to it.
Since your website is your shop window, you need to have lots of people shopping there.
Not all website designers can help with this, this falls into digital marketing.
This is a two pronged attack, in the short term and long term.
In the short term, you need to quickly get people to your website, this can be done via online advertising (PPC). Some website designers do offer PPC, so it is worth asking. There are many PPC companies around, so we can get you quotes if you would like.
In the long term, SEO is what you need, to get you appearing in the organic search engine results. Since SEO is quite a specialist area of marketing, talking to an expert is wise. There are around thousands of SEO companies to choose from, again something we can help you get quotes for.
Social media marketing has become a big part of the mix of SEO, on platforms such as Twitter and TikTok.
Have you considered using a social media influencer, to get you known to their thousands of followers? Many people now have a full time career as a social media influencer.
As all web design agencies set their own fees, showing around and comparing quotes is essential.
Just fill in the form and we will get you quotes from a few creative designers that offer web design for building firms.
You can then compare the designs, approaches and costs to ensure you get the best possible one for the lowest price possible. Web design prices vary significantly, so it is essential to shop around.
