Websites for Trade Businesses
Helping builders and contractors turn website visitors into genuine enquiries.
Built in the West Midlands for builders, electricians, bathroom fitters and contractors who need to look credible and get calls.
“Built by someone who’s worked inside construction businesses — so I get margins, quoting, and what customers need to see.”
Our Values
At Riva Digital Studio, clarity, structure, and thoughtful guidance sit at the heart of every project.
Clarity means your services are easy to understand, your areas are clear, and customers know exactly how to contact you.
Guidance shapes how we work together. You’re supported throughout the process, but it’s led with clear direction, defined stages, and realistic scope, so decisions feel easier and progress stays on track.
Confidence comes from knowing your website has been built properly. I focus on creating digital spaces that feel stable, intuitive, and manageable — giving you reassurance now, and flexibility as your business grows.
Our Process
Discovery
- Initial Consultation: We begin with a focused online consultation to understand your business, priorities, and what the website needs to achieve.
- Website Brief: A simple website brief to help me understand your services, locations, and the enquiries you want more of.
- Design Direction: Based on the information gathered, I’ll define a clear design direction and share selected references or layout options to align expectations before moving into design.
Design & Build
- Wireframe Creation: I’ll create a clear homepage wireframe to define structure, layout, and content flow before design begins.
- Collaborative Review: You review the design in clear stages to avoid surprises.
- Website Build: Once the design is agreed upon, I’ll build the website in WordPress, ensuring it is responsive, functional, and ready for use across devices.
Delivery & Handover
- Final Review: I’ll present the completed website for a final review, allowing for a limited number of agreed refinements to ensure everything is polished and ready to launch.
- Launch: Once approved, I’ll take care of the launch — ensuring the website is live, fully functional, and optimised across mobile and desktop.
- Handover: You’ll receive a clear walkthrough or simple guide covering day-to-day website management and minor updates, so you feel confident moving forward.
