For construction firms, property developers & engineering services

Construction website design for firms that build the world.

Modern construction websites for US, UK and EU firms, built around the work and the buyers who award it.

We work with construction firms and contractors across the US and UK, with most builds landing between $7,500 and $25,000 depending on how much system sits behind the site.

The problem

Why most construction sites still look stuck in 2015.

We've audited hundreds of construction company websites across the US, UK and EU. The patterns are predictable. The work itself is photogenic. The sites showing it off rarely are. Five problems show up almost every time.

  • 01

    WordPress themes from 2013

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

  • 02

    Capability lists nobody reads

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

  • 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.

  • 04

    A careers page that hurts hiring

    Construction in 2026 is a labour war. A four-clicks-deep careers section signals you're not serious about it.

  • 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.

What we build instead

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 behaviour
  • Press, awards, ESG and safety pages that read for procurement
  • CMS your marketing team can actually use
  • Hosted on edge infrastructure. Sub-second loads, globally
  • Structured data, full search-engine setup, Search Console wiring
  • 30 days of post-launch optimisation against real traffic
Built for your workflow

Your bids, plans and 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.

The process

From brief to launch and beyond.

Most agencies scope a construction site with a Phase 0 paragraph of discovery and then treat production as the work. We invert that. Discovery is real work with the operator. Production is built on what it finds. Launch isn't the end of the engagement.

  1. 01 · Step

    Discovery

    Working session with the operator (not just marketing). Audit of the existing site, competitors and search behaviour. The brief comes out of this work, not into it.

  2. 02 · Step

    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 · Step

    Design

    Visual system, page designs, brand application. Designed in code rather than Figma so the team sees the real artefact, not a flat mockup.

  4. 04 · Step

    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 · Step

    Launch & optimise

    Go live. Daily review of real user behaviour for the first 30 days. Two or three rounds of changes against what the data shows. Most agencies stop at launch. We don't.

Frequently asked

Questions construction firms tend to ask first.

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 Indianapolis, Denver, Florida, Australia, the UK and Spain. Time-zone overlap with US East Coast clients is 5 to 6 hours of working day, more than enough for daily working contact.
Who updates the site after launch?
We do. Send the changes by email or through your client portal and they go live within one business day. Project case studies, news, careers postings, team bios, anything. Most clients prefer this over learning a CMS. It's bundled into the monthly support that comes with every tier.
What if we already have a website that isn't broken?
Then we leave it alone and you don't pay us. The most expensive mistake we see firms make is re-platforming when the actual problem is design, copy or photography. We tell clients honestly when a rebuild isn't the right call.
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?
We have work in adjacent verticals: ECO₂ Technologies (environmental technology), The Infinite Fund (commercial property development), TXG (business consultancy). The bar we'd hold a construction site to is the same bar we held those to. Firms whose sites we'd benchmark against are listed in our recent insights piece.
How quickly can we start?
Discovery starts as soon as the brief is signed and the operator has time for a working session. Faster if the project is urgent. Slower if you need to align internal stakeholders, which we plan for.
