Why builders need a professional website
People planning an extension or renovation research builders carefully before they pick up the phone. They want to see past projects, read reviews and understand how you work. A professional website for your building company shows that you’re established, reliable and worth the investment, and it brings in enquiries while you’re on site.
At DigitalUnlock we build websites for builders completely free. There’s no £500 design bill and no setup fee. All you cover is hosting to keep it online, and that includes a professional business email address and ongoing maintenance. We handle the technical side so you can focus on your building work.
No catch, no hidden fees. Most web designers charge builders £500 or more upfront, then add hosting on top. With us the website is free and you only pay for hosting.
