Almost everyone comes to a time in their life where they need the help of a builder.
It’s just about choosing the right company – a company where they can feel assured that they are going to achieve amazing results. And when a construction company is looking to evoke this amongst new clientele, it can be difficult to really show their prestige through recommendations and word of mouth alone. The best way to spread awareness of your company and generate new leads is through an attractive online space that not only holds all of your services but effectively captures your brand and what makes you stand out amongst others in your industry. But what is the first step?
We’ve put together 5 of our top tips that will set you on the right path towards an amazing online space for your construction company.
Finding a platform
The first step to any online venture is finding a platform in which you can start building your website. Finding the right platform will allow you to efficiently take your services online and help your construction company makes waves within your industry. There are a number of template sites out there that offer a quick and speedy launch with ready-made designs and templates. However, if you’re looking to truly benefit from having a bespoke website that rightly reflects your unique brand and level of service, you’re going to need a much more customisable platform.
Here at Limely, we would recommend WordPress as the platform for a construction company website as they can tend to be quite content heavy. WordPress is completely content manageable, easy to use and can grow alongside your business.
