The problem
Where general contractor websites fall short
The portfolio stops years ago
A commercial client wants to see recent, comparable work. A project list that ends several years back raises a question you then have to answer in person.
Documents and forms break
Prequalification forms, subcontractor applications and downloadable documents are often the first things to fail after an update, and the last to be noticed.
The site is slow and dated
A firm that manages complex projects is judged by a website that takes seconds to load and does not fit a phone screen.
What you get
What we do for general contractors
Project pages kept current
Send photos and the basic facts of a finished job. We publish the project page from your included edit time.
Forms and documents checked
Subcontractor, vendor and bid request forms are checked after every update round, along with document downloads.
Careers page upkeep
Open positions added and removed when you tell us, so applicants are not applying for filled roles.
Speed and mobile fixes
Caching, image cleanup and layout fixes so the site passes Core Web Vitals on a phone.
Updates and backups
Weekly updates checked after each round, and a daily off-site backup.
Security
Firewall, malware scanning and login protection on every plan.
Who reads a general contractor website
Three groups look at a general contractor site, and each wants something different. Owners and developers look at completed projects and sectors. Subcontractors and suppliers look for how to get on the bid list. Job seekers look at open positions.
When any of those paths is broken or stale, the visitor does not report it. They move on. Regular checks of the pages and forms each group uses are what keep the site working as a business tool.
What a general contractor website needs to get on the bid list
A general contractor’s site is read by owners, architects and property managers checking whether the company can handle their project, and by subcontractors looking for how to work with you.
- Project pages with facts. Type, size, location, your role and the year. Short and specific beats a long gallery.
- Sectors kept apart. Commercial, residential, tenant improvement and public work, so a reviewer finds relevant projects quickly.
- Credentials in one place. Licenses, bonding, insurance and safety information where a prequalification reviewer can find them.
- A working path for bids and subcontractors. Forms that deliver to the right inbox, checked after updates.
- A site that works on every screen. Reviewers open it on an office desktop, owners on a phone.
We keep the forms delivering and the project pages current. Thinking about leaving an old host first? See how to move a website to a new host without losing leads.
