Problem

Why most construction sites still look stuck in 2015.

When we review construction company websites, the same patterns come up again and again. The work itself is photogenic. The sites showing it off rarely are. Five problems show up almost every time.

  1. 01

    WordPress themes from 2013.

    Generic carousels. Stock photography of hard hats and blueprints. A site looking the same as every other contractor's.
  2. 02

    Capability lists nobody reads.

    Twelve services, three lines each, no proof. Buyers can't tell what you actually build, or where.
  3. 03

    Hidden project case studies.

    Buried under a 'Portfolio' tab with no filter, no client name, no schedule data. The work is the asset. It should be the homepage.
  4. 04

    A careers page that hurts hiring.

    Good people are hard to find, and a careers section four clicks deep makes it harder.
  5. 05

    A site that's slow.

    Three-second load times. Heroes that don't render until you scroll. Performance is brand. Slow sites feel small.

Who it's for

Built for general contractors & the specialty trades.

The site changes with the kind of contractor you are and the work you bid on. These are the four we build for most.

  • General contractors & construction managers

    Project pages by market with the value, schedule and team, so an owner or developer can shortlist you before the bid list closes.

  • Design-build firms

    One story from design to handover, with your preconstruction, engineering and in-house trades up front.

  • Specialty & trade contractors

    Electrical, mechanical, HVAC, roofing, steel, metal building and generator contractors. A page for each service and each area you cover, with the licenses, certifications and safety record a general contractor checks before inviting you to bid.

  • Heavy civil & infrastructure

    Public work, prequalification details and the equipment you own, written for agencies and prime contractors.

Deliverables

A construction site that earns the buyer's attention.

Built around the work, not the org chart. Designed for clients, procurement teams, future hires and the press, with separate surfaces for each. Fast, accessible and easy for your team to keep alive.

  • A homepage built around the work, not the org chart
  • Project case study template with photography, scope, schedule and team
  • Filterable project library by sector, region and year
  • A careers section designed as a sales surface, not an afterthought
  • Service or sector pages mapped to real buyer search behavior
  • Press, awards, ESG and safety pages that read for procurement
  • CMS your marketing team can actually use
  • Fast hosting on a global network, with every page speed-tested before launch
  • Set up so Google can read every page, with Search Console connected
  • 30 days of changes after launch, based on real visitors

Site plan

The pages a contractor's website needs.

A typical plan for a commercial contractor, before we've spoken. Yours follows the work you want more of.

  1. Home

    What you build, where and for whom, on the first screen, with your own project photography.

  2. Projects

    A page for each project with the market, location, scope, schedule and team, filterable by market and region.

  3. Services & markets

    A page for each service and each market you want to win, such as healthcare, industrial or education, written the way owners search.

  4. Service areas

    A page for each region you work in, so a search for a contractor in that city or state can find you.

  5. Safety & quality

    Your EMR, certifications, safety programs and quality process, where a risk manager expects to find them.

  6. Prequalification

    Bonding capacity, insurance, licenses and the documents a bid list asks for, ready to download.

  7. Careers

    Open roles, the projects people would work on and a way to apply from a phone.

  8. Request a bid

    A short form that routes by project type and region, so the right estimator replies.

Workflow

Your bids, plans & projects in one place.

An example of the operational layer we can build for a contractor. Bids, trade partners, plan distribution, compliance and live projects in one place, so nothing dies in email.

Interactive demonstration. Representative data, not a real client.

Turnkey

You build the world, we run the website.

Design, build, hosting, security, monitoring and the changes that come after launch are handled as one engagement, so nobody on your team has to become the website person.

Work

Recent builds, across sectors.

Six projects. Two are concept sites, built to show a specific firm what their website could be rather than commissioned by them, so each one is marked and opens the live build.

Process

From brief to launch & beyond.

We start with a working session with you and the people who run the work, and build on what it finds. After launch we stay on to host, support and improve the site.

  1. 01

    Discovery.

    A working session with you and the people who run the work. We review your current site, your competitors and what your buyers search for. The brief comes from that.
  2. 02

    Strategy & content.

    Positioning. Architecture. Copy for the homepage and the project case study template. Photography brief. Sector pages mapped to buyer search intent.
  3. 03

    Design.

    Page designs and the look of your brand, built in code so you review the real site in a browser early on.
  4. 04

    Build.

    Modern production build using the latest web standards. CMS configured. Project case studies migrated and rewritten where needed. Analytics, structured data and Search Console wired.
  5. 05

    Launch & improve.

    Go live, then watch how real visitors use the site for the first 30 days and make two or three rounds of changes based on what we see.

Questions

What construction firms tend to ask first.

How much does a construction company website cost?

Website packages start at $9,500 (Foundation Level) and $19,500 (Growth Platform). Custom builds with portals, dashboards or other tools start at $30,000 (Authority System). Every package comes with monthly support, from $150 a month, and every price is on our pricing page.

How long does a new construction website take?

Foundation Level sites take 2-3 weeks and Growth Platform sites 3-4 weeks from the signed brief. Custom builds take 5-12 weeks, depending on scope. The slowest part is usually gathering project photos and details, so we ask for those first.

Do you build websites for specialty contractors?

Yes. Electrical, mechanical, HVAC, roofing, steel, metal building and generator contractors need what a general contractor needs, plus a page for each service and each area they cover, so a buyer searching for that service in that place finds them.

Will a new site keep our Google rankings?

That is the aim of every move we make. We list the pages that bring in visits and inquiries, point every old address at its new page and watch Google Search Console after launch, fixing anything that breaks.

Can the site take bid invitations and plan requests?

Yes. A bid-invite or plan-request form that routes to the right estimator is part of a standard build. A full bid portal with trade partners, plan distribution and compliance documents is a custom build.

Are you based in the US?

We're based in Madrid. We work with construction, property and built-environment firms in the US, UK and EU. We've shipped sites for clients in North Carolina, Indianapolis, Denver, Florida, Australia, the UK and Spain. We take calls 9am to 5pm US Eastern time.

Who updates the site after launch?

Either your team or us. Your team can edit projects, news, careers and bios in the editor we set up. Or send the changes by email or through your client portal and we make them, usually within one business day. Foundation Support includes a set amount of edit time every month. Growth and Authority Support include unlimited changes to your site's content and pages, all done by us. New features are quoted separately.

What if we already have a website that isn't broken?

Then keep it, and we'll tell you so on the first call. If you want more inquiries from it, the SEO Growth Program works on the site you have. A design, copy or photography refresh is often cheaper than a rebuild.

Do you handle hosting, security and ongoing support?

Yes. Whitelam Media runs the whole stack end to end. Premium global hosting, security updates, performance monitoring, backups, uptime alerts. All bundled into the Foundation, Growth or Authority Support plan that ships with the tier.

Do you have construction-firm case studies?

Not yet under a contractor's name. Our closest proof is the Iknow rebuild: a consultancy site with 108 case studies in four languages, moved off an old Drupal site in September 2026. We've also built a large technical site for ECO₂ Technologies in environmental technology. We'd hold a construction site to the same standard. The firms we benchmark against are in our insights piece.
