Website Design and Development for Construction and Trades
Websites for trades and construction firms, built to win enquiries on Google and AI search. The Launchpad Website: up to 15 pages, live in 7 days, £695 + VAT.
The short answer
What makes a good business website?
A good business website loads fast, is easy to find on Google and in AI search, and is built to convert, guiding visitors toward getting in touch. We design and develop websites that do all three, on fast secure hosting, SEO and AEO ready out of the box, and designed to turn visitors into enquiries.
Your website is the shopfront the rest of your marketing points to, so it has to do more than look good. Most trades start with the Launchpad Website: up to 15 pages, all copy written for you, live within 7 days, £695 + VAT one-off, and yours outright. We design and develop sites for construction and trades businesses on fast, secure hosting, built to be found on Google and in AI search, and shaped around one job: turning visitors into enquiries. Every page guides a prospect toward getting in touch, with clear phone buttons, contact details and forms signposted throughout. On its own the site captures demand. Paired with our CRM and monthly SEO it becomes a complete setup: SEO brings the right people, the site converts them, and the CRM makes sure not one enquiry is missed. Combined with SEO, a website easily covers its cost within the first few months.

What we do
We design and develop websites for construction and trades businesses, on secure, fast hosting so your pages load quickly and stay online.
- SEO and AEO friendly out of the box, built to be found on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini.
- Designed for conversion, so every page guides a prospect down the funnel rather than leaving them to wander.
- Clear phone buttons, contact details and forms, signposted throughout, so an interested visitor never has to hunt for how to reach you.
- Bigger sites and bespoke builds for construction and civils firms, scoped to what you need and priced before any work starts.
Why it matters
A website is still a vital part of your marketing. It is the shopfront everything else points to, and it works hardest when it is built to bring in work.
- Combined with ongoing SEO, a site easily covers its cost within the first few months of going live.
- Built to work, not just to look good. The goal is enquiries, not decoration.
Better together
On its own, a website captures the demand that comes to it. Paired with two more pieces, it stops being a standalone site and becomes a complete demand-capture setup.
- The website is the shopfront: fast, findable and built to convert.
- The CRM, a HighLevel subscription at £99 + VAT a month with management included in the Booked Solid System and the Preferred Contractor Programme, captures every enquiry and automates the response, so no lead goes cold and the experience feels sharp from the first reply.
- Monthly SEO, from £600 + VAT a month, or the Launchpad Growth Plan at £300 + VAT a month alongside a Launchpad Website, brings the right people to the site and keeps you visible on Google and in AI search.
Together they compound: SEO brings the right people, the website turns them into enquiries, and the CRM makes sure not one is missed. If you are also running paid ads, the same site is where that spend lands, so it has to convert.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How much does a website cost?
The Launchpad Website is £695 + VAT, one-off, for up to 15 pages with all the copy written for you. Hosting is free for the first six months, then £15 a month. Larger or bespoke sites are scoped to what you actually need, and we tell you the price before any work starts. The aim is a site that pays for itself, not the cheapest possible build.
How long does it take to build?
A Launchpad Website is live within 7 days of receiving your details: your branding, contact details, services and areas. Larger bespoke builds take longer, and we give you a realistic timeline up front so there are no surprises.
Will my site be found on Google and in AI search?
Yes. Our sites are SEO and AEO friendly out of the box, structured to be found on Google and to be read by AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. To keep climbing and stay visible over time, pair the site with our monthly SEO.
Do you handle the hosting?
Yes. Hosting is free for the first six months, then £15 a month, and we look after it so the site stays quick, safe and online. You do not need to sort servers or certificates yourself.
Is the site built to bring in enquiries?
That is the whole point. We design for conversion, so every page guides a visitor toward getting in touch, with clear phone buttons, contact details and forms signposted throughout. The goal is enquiries, not decoration.
Do I need the CRM and SEO as well?
No, the website works on its own. But together they compound: monthly SEO brings the right people to the site, the site converts them, and the CRM subscription at £99 + VAT a month makes sure no enquiry is missed and follows up automatically. It is a complete way to generate and capture demand.
Do I own the website?
Yes, outright. It is your site, your content and your domain, registered to you, not to us. A lot of website companies rent you a site that disappears when you stop paying. Ours doesn't: if you ever move on, your site and your data come with you.
What do you need from me to get started?
Your logo and branding, contact details, the services you offer and the areas you cover. We write all the copy. Photos are a bonus, but we can create images if you don't have any. For a bespoke build, book a call and we will map it out.
