The Problem

A great builder. Zero online presence.

Cornerstone Builders had over a decade of experience and dozens of happy customers — but no website. Every new job came through word of mouth, which meant slow months, unpredictable income, and watching competitors with basic websites win jobs they should have had.

When homeowners in Leeds searched for 'builder near me' or 'loft conversion Leeds', Cornerstone didn't exist. Bigger firms with average websites were taking all the online leads.

No website — completely invisible on Google

100% reliant on word of mouth referrals

Losing quotes to less experienced competitors

No way to showcase past projects or credentials

No system to capture or follow up on enquiries

The Solution

We built a fast, mobile-first website designed around one goal — turning local Google searches into booked jobs.

Conversion-focused design built around trust and local authority

Targeted keywords: 'builder in Leeds', 'loft conversion Leeds', 'house extension Leeds'

Dedicated service pages for loft conversions, extensions, and renovations

Prominent quote request form above the fold on every page

"I was sceptical at first — I'd never needed a website before. But within six weeks of going live, I had more enquiries than I could handle. I turned down work for the first time in ten years. Best money I've ever spent on the business."
