If you’re aiming to step up from domestic jobs to larger commercial work or developer contracts, your website becomes one of your strongest assets. Bigger clients make decisions differently — they want proof of capability, systems, and professionalism. Here’s how a good website helps you secure those jobs.
First impressions matter — and they’re online
Larger clients will often shortlist contractors based on online presence. Your website should look confident: professional branding, clear case studies, and proof of compliance (insurance, qualifications, CSCS, etc.). If your site looks amateurish, they’ll skip you.
Use case studies to prove capability
A focused case study is more persuasive than a generic portfolio. For each major project, include:
- The brief and challenges,
- Your solution and techniques,
- Outcomes (timescales, materials, any cost-savings),
- High-quality photos and a client quote.
This demonstrates your ability to handle scale, complexity, and professional expectations.
Show systems and reliability
Big clients want reliable contractors. Use your site to show processes: site management, health & safety procedures, subcontractor vetting, and project timelines. A downloadable capability statement or a “What to expect” PDF is a very practical addition.
Testimonials from relevant clients matter
A testimonial from a commercial client, landlord, or developer carries more weight than a domestic one. If you have completed work for a commercial purpose, make these testimonials prominent.
Technical SEO and discovery
Commercial tenders often start with targeted search queries. Optimise pages for terms like “commercial contractor [city]”, “project management for refurbishments”, and similar phrases. Pairing this with LinkedIn presence and a Google Business Profile increases trust and visibility.
Convert interest into action
Make it easy for procurement teams to contact you. Offer:
- A contact form asking for project size and timescale,
- A downloadable company pack or capability statement,
- Clear phone and email details for procurement enquiries.
