FAQs

What kind of design should be used for your Construction Company website?

The design of a construction company website should be neat, creative and straightforward for customers. Applying too many animated vectors and icons is not recommended. It is vital to choose a suitable colour pallet that complies with the brand identity and website design.

Which CMS should be used to build a website for a Construction Company?

It depends on the company size. If you have a small construction company, it’d be better to utilise ready to use templates, though your website SEO should be carefully considered when using templates.

If you have a larger construction company, we suggest using WordPress and working with a professional web design company. It would cost you more, though you will see the benefits later.

If you are a mega Construction Company like Metricon, you’d probably need to have your own dedicated CMS.

We suggest you read the Web Design with WordPress or a Dedicated CMS? article to figure out which CMS is better for you.

How long does it take to build a Construction Company website?

From a small construction company to a big holding, it may take around 2 weeks up to 6 months, depending on your required features. We suggest you read the How long does it take to create a website in Australia article for detailed information on the required time-frame.

How much does it cost to build a website for a Construction Company?

It starts from AUD 3’000 for a small construction company, and goes up to AUD 10’000 for a larger one.

Though, if you want a website for a holding with all the portals and features to be included, the cost would go much higher to around AUD 40K. In this case, a long-term contract with the web designer is needed to be in place, for later support and updates.

We suggest you check the Web Design Pricing to understand the scale of your business better.
