Absolutely! Every construction company should have a business website to not just build credibility with potential leads, but also to expand online reach to find new leads. Sounds like a lot of work? Not with Houzz Pro. We’ll build, optimise and maintain your website for you at no extra cost. Plus, builder website design is a great supplement to your Houzz Pro profile as it gives you another platform to showcase your work and highlight what makes your business better than the rest. Homeowners do their homework, so when they search the web for more information about your business, you’ll want your builder's website to be visible. Better yet, with a business website that’s optimised for SEO, you might even be able to attract new leads who haven’t found you on a different platform yet! 

Well with Houzz Pro, we’ll do it for you! But if you’re keen on tackling this on your own, here are some seamless steps we recommend:

1. The first step is choosing a website builder for construction. With so many builders digitising their businesses, there are many website builders to choose from. Be sure to look for one that highlights the ability to create websites that look great on any device and that are optimised for SEO. Pro Tip: Most website builders for home builders can be time intensive to learn how to use or require technical expertise. With Houzz Pro, you’ll get a custom-built, complimentary website without having to add “developer” to your resume.

2. Once you’ve determined what platform you want to build it on, you’ll need to purchase a domain and find a hosting provider.

3. Next you’ll want to plan out your content. Will you want an “About Me” page or a section to house all of your great testimonials? This is where you can really give homeowners a peek into what it’s like to work with you, so don’t hold back!

4. Once you’ve defined the pages you’ll create, choose a template that can accommodate your content and that fits your personal style.

5. Nail down your call to action. Do you want website visitors to call you or fill out a contact form? Make sure this language is visible across your website to encourage conversions.

Once you’ve completed the steps above, you’re ready to launch your website! Be sure to promote it across any other platforms where you market your business – Houzz, social media, even your business card! Now you’re ready to monitor how it performs and make adjustments to continuously improve the experience for your website visitor. With Houzz Pro, you’ll get easy-to-interpret analytics and a team to help you with maintenance. That’s why home builders' website design with Houzz Pro is a no-brainer.

Good construction website designs inspire, educate and persuade. Use your homepage and portfolio page to inspire homeowners to visualise what their home could look like if they hired you! Use your About Us page and your homepage to educate visitors about what it’s like to work with you, your mission, and any important information they should know if they consider you for a job. Adding a blog is a great way to continuously provide education. Lastly, your contact page should persuade users to reach out and get in touch. These are just the basics – you should feel empowered to create a builder website design that’s as unique as you. Have fun with it!
