Which hosting plan for a construction or trades business: projects, quotes and trust

The short answer: whoever hires a builder wants to see finished work, know who you are and ask for a quote without fuss. It is a light site with many photographs: the entry plan will do, with the images shrunk. What sells is trust, and trust is built with proof.

What weighs, and what does not

Part of the site What to do
Finished jobs Before and after photos, with the place, the year and what was done. Shrink them: Image optimisation. Only show clients’ work with their permission.
About us Company name, address, tax number and, where applicable, licences and insurance. It is what the client checks before asking for a quote.
Quote request A short form (what is needed, where, when) and a WhatsApp. Test that it arrives: A contact form that actually reaches your inbox.
Services and areas Write what you do and in which areas you work, as text, so Google can link it to local searches: Being found on Google.
Reviews Ask satisfied clients: Reviews and reputation.

How to choose, step by step

1 Start with the entry plan and a site with services, projects, about us and contact.
2 Photograph each job with your phone, as the work goes on, and add them to the site at the end.
3 Create the Google Business Profile with the area you work in and your phone.
4 Have an e-mail on the company’s domain for quotes and suppliers: Free e-mail or e-mail on your own domain.
Do not publish what you cannot prove: licences you do not have, jobs you did not do, prices you do not honour. A public complaint costs more than any advertisement. Rules for the sector vary by country.
A quick quote is worth more than a beautiful site: answer the request the same day, even if only to say when you will visit the job.
