For builders

Web design for builders and extension contractors in Ireland

Nobody rings a builder on impulse. They look at your work for a fortnight, show it to a partner, compare you against two others and only then pick up the phone. Your website has to survive that whole process, not just the first glance.

Who is actually searching for you

Most of the enquiries are homeowners planning something big: a rear extension, an attic, a full renovation of a house they have just bought. They are spending more than they have ever spent on anything except the house itself, and they are frightened of picking the wrong builder.

The rest is commercial and repeat work that arrives through architects, engineers and people you have built for before. Those people still check the site before they pass your name on, so it has to make them look good for recommending you.

How builders win work today

Referrals and completed jobs on the road still bring in most of it. The gap is everything that happens between hearing your name and ringing you, and right now that gap is filled by a Facebook page, a few photos and a guess.

A proper site fills that gap. Finished projects with a short story behind each one, insurance and registration in plain sight, and a straight explanation of how a job runs from first visit to handover is usually what tips somebody from thinking about it to ringing.

What your website has to do

It has to show the work at full size without crawling on a phone. It has to answer the questions everyone asks before they ask them: do you do the drawings, do you handle planning, how long does an extension take, when do payments fall due.

It also needs real pages for the jobs you actually want. Extensions, attic conversions, renovations and new builds each get searched separately, so each deserves its own page rather than one line on a services list.

What a builder website needs

A project gallery that loads fast

Your own finished jobs, properly compressed, with a line or two about the scope and the timeline. Large photography is the whole sell in this trade, so it cannot be what slows the site down.

Proof you are covered

Insurance, tax clearance, registration numbers and any certification shown clearly. Homeowners are told to check for this and the builder who makes it easy gets the call.

A clear process page

What happens on the first visit, how you quote, what you need from them and how payments are staged. Removing that uncertainty wins more work than any design flourish.

Getting found, and getting it built

A website only earns its keep when people find it. Our full explanation of how we do that is on the SEO for Irish trades page, with the map results side covered on local SEO in Dublin.

There is nothing to pay upfront. We build the site for free and you pay a single monthly amount, set out in full on pay monthly websites. Hosting is included too, as explained on our website hosting page, and you can see how we approach website design or browse our portfolio.

Questions from builders

We get plenty of referrals, do we need a website?

Referrals still get checked online before anyone rings. A good site makes the referral convert instead of quietly dying while somebody looks at three other builders.

Should we put prices on it?

Not fixed prices, but a realistic range for a typical extension with a note on what moves it. It saves you quoting for people who were never in the market.

What does the website cost?

There is no upfront cost. We build it and you pay €59.99 a month on a 12 month minimum, which covers hosting, maintenance, edits and ongoing search work.
