Builders Website Design Prices
Fixed prices for builders' and construction company websites. A custom-designed website for a building company starts from £2,400, a site with a project gallery you manage yourself from £3,900, and managed hosting from £20 a month. Here is what those prices include for a builder, what moves a quote and how they compare.
What a Building Company Pays for a Website With DigitalPod
Our prices are published and apply to every sector. A builder's site carries more photographs than most, and presenting them well is what sets it apart. For most firms the starting price covers everything the site needs: pages for each type of work, a projects gallery, a process page, accreditations, reviews and a quote form, all designed to load quickly despite the images, and all agreed in a fixed quote before the work begins.
The starting price buys a custom-designed site of up to around ten pages, designed from scratch and hand-coded. The website with admin dashboard adds a secure area where you publish new projects, photographs and reviews yourself the week a job finishes, so the gallery never goes stale and never shows only the extension you built four years ago. Logo design is quoted alongside, and the quote is fixed before the first design is drawn.

Three Typical Builders Website Projects
New building company
A home page, two or three service pages, a projects page with the first completed jobs, how we work, about and contact, with insurance and company details stated and a quote form that accepts drawings.
Established builder replacing a dated site
A rebuild for a firm with ten years of photographs and nowhere to show them: eight to ten pages covering extensions, lofts and renovations, a curated gallery, reviews pulled through and redirects from the old pages.
Growing firm with a managed gallery
A company finishing a project every few weeks that wants to publish each one itself, with filters by type and town, a commercial section with downloadable documents and an admin dashboard for the team.
What the Starting Price Includes for Builders
- A custom design around your brand and your best photographs, approved by you before any code is written.
- Up to around ten pages, typically home, extensions, lofts, renovations, projects, how we work, about and contact.
- A projects gallery with a page per job, images optimised so the site stays fast on a phone.
- Accreditation logos, membership numbers and links displayed correctly, with reviews from Checkatrade or Google pulled through.
- A quote form that takes drawings and photographs, tested so enquiries reach you, plus the search engine foundations for local searches.
- Launch to managed cloud hosting from £20 a month, or the complete code handed over for you to host elsewhere.
What Changes the Price of a Building Company Website
- The number of service pages: a firm that only builds extensions needs fewer than one covering lofts, renovations and new builds across a county.
- The size of the gallery and how it is managed: a curated set of projects is included, while a self-managed gallery moves to the from £3,900 package.
- A commercial section with case studies and downloadable accreditation, insurance and health and safety documents for tenders.
- A client area for live projects, with progress photographs and stage payments, quoted on scope.
- Connections to estimating software, job management tools or review platforms, quoted individually on scope.
- Logo and brand design, quoted alongside the website, and copywriting or photography if you would like us to produce the words and images rather than supply them.
Every website is quoted individually, so the final figure depends on what your building company actually needs. Our website design brief template helps you list those needs so that we can give you an accurate fixed price.
How Our Prices Compare for Builders
Builders are offered websites by the directories they already pay, by template subscriptions aimed at trades and by platforms such as Houzz that bundle a site into a professional plan. The monthly fee looks modest against a construction turnover, but it never stops, the design is shared with other builders, and the site cannot leave with you if you cancel. Website builders such as Wix and Squarespace are cheaper still, but a gallery of large photographs quickly exposes their limits on speed and layout.
Agencies, by contrast, commonly quote £6,000 to £20,000 or more for a small business website, while experienced freelancers and small studios typically charge £2,000 to £6,000. Our websites for building companies start from £2,400, designed and coded in-house, with a fixed price agreed before work begins and a site that belongs to you, including the code, when it launches. Our guide to how much a website costs in the UK explains the whole range.

How a Project Runs
- Your requirements. On a call, you tell us about your business, your customers and what the website needs to do, and we give you a fixed quotation.
- Logic and visuals. We plan the site structure and create visual mockups for your approval before anything is built.
- Development. We build the website, keep you updated and give you a realistic completion date.
- Testing and launch. You review the finished site on a test server, we refine it, and then we launch it or hand over the files.
Most websites take three to six weeks from brief to launch, provided the content is ready. Our guide to the website design process explains each stage, and the timescales guide shows what a typical schedule looks like.
What Clients Say About Working With Us
"DigitalPod provided an excellent service in creating Rhino Play Ltd's website. We were able to discuss ideas and check different styles as we progressed and the end product could not have been better. DigitalPod also supplied us with stationery design work which we were very impressed with. We would not hesitate in recommending DigitalPod to anyone."
"From the very beginning of our discussions to the end of the project I found Digital Pod to be not only professional but always friendly and willing to resolve any issues."
"Matthew at DigitalPod produced three websites for my company. Each was well designed and met all the functional requirements for our customers. I was also hugely appreciative of the fast technical support response on the few occasions we needed it. I can strongly recommend DigitalPod."
Builders Website Price Questions
Is £2,400 the final price for a builder's website?
For most building companies, yes. The starting price covers a custom-designed site of up to around ten pages with your types of work, a projects gallery, a process page, accreditations, reviews and a quote form. It rises if you want to manage the gallery yourself through an admin dashboard, add a client area or integrate other software, and whatever the scope, we agree a fixed figure before any work starts.
Does the price include photography of our projects?
No. Photography and copywriting are quoted on request if you would like help, but most builders already have the raw material on their phones. We select, crop and optimise the photographs you supply so that they look their best and load quickly, and we advise on how to shoot future projects. A professional photographer for your two or three showcase jobs is worth considering once the site is live.
Why does a self-managed project gallery cost more?
Because it is a different kind of website. A curated gallery within the starting price is a set of pages we build from your photographs. A self-managed gallery needs a secure admin area, a database, image handling and filters that let you add a project, upload thirty photographs and publish it in ten minutes without touching code. That is the website with admin dashboard package from £3,900.
What are the monthly costs?
Hosting, if you want us to host the site, from £20 a month, which covers a managed cloud server, security updates and quick changes to projects, areas and accreditations when you need them. There is no licence fee for the website and no contract locking you in: the code is yours, and you can move it elsewhere whenever you like. Your domain name is a separate small annual cost with the registrar.
Can we add project pages later, and what does that cost?
Yes. With the admin dashboard you add them yourself at no extra cost. Without it, we add new project pages for you and quote the work individually, which suits a firm that finishes a few large projects a year. Either way the site is built so that new pages fit the existing design without redesigning anything.
Our main prices page and FAQ cover payment terms, hosting and ownership in more detail. For what the website itself should include, see builders website design, or startup builders website design if you are launching a new business.
