How to start a website for a construction or contracting company

Developers and clients shortlist contractors by their track record. A project-led website on your own domain puts that record front and centre.

IDX·October 27, 2026·1 min read

For contractors, the strongest sales tool is completed work. A website organised around your projects proves capability far better than a list of services.

What to include

  • Projects: photos, location, scope, client type and value range where you can share it.
  • Capabilities: services, equipment, workforce and certifications.
  • Safety and quality policies.
  • Company profile download for tenders.
  • Careers, since contractors are always hiring.
  • Contacts for tenders, suppliers and HR.

Step 1: domain

Register your company name. Search and register at IDX, and add a .com.eg if you bid on Egyptian projects.

Step 2: hosting

A project portfolio with many photos runs well on IDX web hosting. Large galleries can be offloaded to object storage.

Step 3: email for tenders

Tender submissions and supplier correspondence should come from your domain. Business email team plans cover dozens of staff, with mailing lists for site teams.

Step 4: build

Bilingual content, real site photos and clear project pages. Make the company profile easy to download.

Step 5: keep adding projects

Every completed project is new proof; add it with photos as soon as it is handed over.
