Brayford — a website template for construction firms
Most builders’ websites look the same. A stock photo of a hard hat, a paragraph about quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, and no real way to tell one firm from the next.
Brayford is built around what actually wins work: what you’ve built, what it cost, how long it took, and who a client can ring to check. Every project carries its contract value, program, contract type, variations and defects at handover. Your safety record gets its own section, because on commercial jobs that’s what decides whether you make the tender list. Your licence, insurance and service area sit above the header on every page.
It leads with video — a slow pull-back over a live site says more in four seconds than three paragraphs — and the photography is given room to do its job rather than being chopped into thumbnails.
Five pages, ready to go:
- Home — video hero, what you build, a featured project, your project index, how a job runs, safety, and the people who’ll actually be on site
- Services — scope, typical value, typical program and contract types for each one, plus the questions you get asked on every first site visit
- Projects — filterable by sector, with a case study and a drag-to-compare slider from mid-build to handover
- About — the story, a timeline, the team with direct mobiles, and accreditations
- Contact — a six-field enquiry form that works out of the box, and what happens after someone sends it
Why we build from a template
A website built from scratch means paying for design decisions that have already been made a thousand times. Where the phone number goes. How a project page reads. What a contact form should ask for.
Starting from a template that’s already been designed and tested means your money goes into the parts that are actually yours — your photos, your projects, your numbers, your people. You get a site that’s live in days instead of months, at a fraction of what a custom build costs, and it doesn’t look like a template because the content carrying it is real.
It’s a proper WordPress theme, so you edit everything from the dashboard. No page builder, no form plugin, no add-ons with a licence to renew every year. Change the accent colour in one place and the whole site re-brands.
