Website design for specialist builders
Websites for specialist builders across the UK that show the craft as well as the finished building, and earn the trust of clients with the most at stake.
The brief
Your clients are handing over their biggest project or most precious home. Your website should show them why it’s safe with you.
Most builder websites show a few finished photos and a list of services. I design around the story of each project: the problem, the approach, the craft along the way and the finished result. Then build the structure so new projects slot in without a rebuild.
Built for specialist builders
Everything a specialist builder needs, nothing it doesn’t.
The craft, not just the result
Build-stage photography alongside the finished building, from cutting joints to raising day.
Project stories that build trust
Each case study follows the problem, the approach and the result, the way you’d explain it on site.
Found for the work you specialise in
Service and location pages written to rank for searches like “oak frame builders Somerset” or “listed building renovation Bath”.

Questions
Questions specialist builders ask, answered.
How much does a website for a specialist builder cost?
A bespoke specialist builder’s website from Stay Found Studio costs £4,000 +VAT for the Portfolio Website, or £6,000 +VAT for the Local SEO Website, which adds keyword research, service and location pages and Google Business Profile optimisation. Care & Hosting is £100 a month +VAT.
What should a specialist builder’s website include?
Detailed project stories covering the problem, the approach and the result, build-stage photography as well as finished shots, a clear guide to how a project runs from design to handover, and pages for the work you specialise in, such as oak frame houses or listed building renovation.
How long does it take to build a specialist builder’s website?
Most Stay Found Studio websites take two to four weeks from the planning workshop to launch. The main variable is how quickly the photography and project details are ready.
Can the site show the build, not just the finished result?
Yes. Build-stage photography, from the yard to raising day or from stripped-back walls to finished repair, is some of the most persuasive content a specialist builder has, and every Stay Found Studio case study is designed to show it.
Will this help me show up for “oak frame builders near me” searches?
Yes, with the Local SEO Website. It adds service and location pages, Google Business Profile optimisation and a customer review system, so your company can appear when people nearby search for what you do.
Can I add new projects myself?
Yes, through the editable case study system. Or send Stay Found Studio the photos and the story, and they’re published as part of Care & Hosting.
Can you use the photography I already have?
Usually, yes. Most specialist builders already have good photography. Stay Found Studio helps you choose the strongest projects and sequence them, and flags any worth reshooting.
Do you work with specialist builders outside Bath?
Yes. Stay Found Studio is based in Queen Square, Bath, and works with specialist builders across the UK, meeting in person where it’s practical and working remotely everywhere else.
