A microsite for a building company offering building and painting work, tool hire and haulage. Everything on one page, with the contact reachable from anywhere.
Do you want a simple website for a trade?
We will build it on Joomla. A small company does not need an extensive website, it needs one page that gets it found on the internet and brings in a phone call. The rest is agreed in person.
What the website of a small building company needs
The customer is looking for a tradesman they can trust. What decides is whether the company has been around long enough, what it does and whether it answers the phone.
- A list of the work written in the words customers actually search for
- The years in business and the year of founding as proof of stability
- Photographs of work done instead of stock images
- The phone number as the main button rather than a form
- The area covered, for the sake of local search
- Tool hire as an additional service with a list
What to watch out for in this line of business
The phone above all
Trade jobs are agreed in a call. A form is the second choice.
The range of work
Listing everything you can do pays off. Those are exactly the words people search for you by.
Years in business
The year the trade was founded is a simple and powerful argument for trust.
Your own photographs
In the trades people spot a stock image at a glance. A phone snapshot from your own site works better.
