Why You Need A Website

Historically, no-one had a website; however in the last few years, every construction business needs to have a website.  

Not just having a website, but having a modern one that has high quality pictures, social media links, is quick to navigate and quickly communicates your message.  

Why, because all your competitors have one, if you are to stand out, you need to have a better one. It is now essential for you to have a great one.  

As competition in the building and property sector grows, having an attractive site, that is simple to navigate, is important.

Whether you are a leading construction firm like Lang O’Rourke or a freelancer, your website is important.  

If you are a tradesman looking for website design, we can help.

Do You Have A Website Brief?

Do you have a website brief to send to a few web designers?  A website brief can be very helpful, both for you and the various designers, if anything it is a starting point.

A website brief outlines what you want, and also gives designers a chance to add what they think you will need.

If anything it saves you having to repeat yourself multiple times when talking to different local web design agencies.

Giving agencies a start point, as to what kind of website you want or need, here are a few things to consider:

  • Which web platform should you choose?
  • Who would create the website content?
  • Did you want videos on the website?
  • What about hosting?
  • Did you know the colour scheme?
  • What websites have you seen that you like?
  • What particular features did you need, such as a payment gateway?
  • How many pages did you want/need?
  • Did you have a budget to keep to?

There are of course going to be lots of other things to consider, but this should get you started.

Choosing A Website Design Studio

The UK has well over 20,000 creative marketing agencies that offer this service, and all are different, from freelancers to top design studios.

Whoever you choose to work with, it is very wise to select someone who has worked in the construction industry before.

Asking the designer about previous clients, or looking at their portfolio, should give you a good idea as to what their experience has been.  If they have already worked for architects, surveyors or property developers, then they are a good choice.

The reason is, they will know designs that work, they will know the website features you need.  But most importantly, they should know what your potential customers want, turning website visitors into fee paying customers.

If they have experience of doing marketing in the construction sector, they should be able to create a much more focused website that will fit into the building industry.  Choosing a web designer that has experience in the sector and is local is really the ideal.

If your business is involved in roofing, tiling, landscaping, site security or any other area of this sector, there are plenty of agencies that can help develop a great and cost effective site.

Remember Your Marketing

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 thousands of SEO companies in the UK, 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.

Compare Website Design Prices

Comparing web design prices is very wise; especially in today’s world, so as to get an idea of different proposals and likely costs.  

As all agencies are privately owned, they are there to make profit.

All set their own fees.  Generally the more experienced they are, and the longer they have been running, the more expensive they are.

Freelancers tend to be cheaper as they have fewer overheads.

If an agency charges more, that does not necessarily mean you will get more.

We are here to help you get the best possible website for the lowest possible price.
