What Makes a Construction Website Great?

Website agencies would love to give you all the bells and whistles (for a price!), insisting that each feature is critical to your success. But what are the actual parts of your website that matter? 

In the examples below, you're not going to always see a website that looks super sexy or offers every digital tool in the book. But they work great for customers, and here's why:

  1. They are visually appealing.
  2. It's super easy to know where to go to find what you need (navigation).
  3. They showcase excellent work done.
  4. Most offer authentic customer testimonials.
  5. Services, products, and offerings are clearly stated and explained.
  6. NAP (name, address, phone number) are clear and consistent across the website.
  7. They've made it easy to take next steps.
