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.
|
|
|
Do not publish what you cannot prove: licences you do not have, jobs you did not do, prices you do not honour.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.

WHEN TO MOVE UP: Move up when each finished job adds photos and Disk Usage in cPanel shows the 10 GB close, when you open a second company or trade that deserves its own site, or when quote requests and answers to suppliers reach the 100 e-mails per hour of the Pro plan. Moving up can be done at any time and the site is not lost.
