About the site

MW Construction is a general contractor covering extensions, renovations, groundwork and roofing. “Built right. Built to last.” Instead of the usual stock photos of hard hats, every section of the site has real looping site footage running behind it.

The idea

Trades websites are usually an afterthought, which makes a well-made one stand out immediately. This one is short and direct — what we do, where we go, how it works, why us — and every section ends in the same place: get a quote.

Like everything I build, it’s made from scratch. No page builder, no theme. So it’s quick, it works on phones first, and it’s easy to change later.
