The verdict in three sentences
A construction firm is judged on its references, not its promises: a client wants to see completed projects backed by numbers. A website presenting a structured project portfolio (area, budget, timeline, before/after photos) builds credibility in bids and converts qualified leads. For 600,000 to 1,800,000 FCFA, your company goes from "invisible online" to serious contender.
Three website tiers for a construction company
Construction has long cycles and high tickets; the site must inspire trust and enable structured quote requests. Here are the three packages, as 2026 orders of magnitude.
| Package | Price (FCFA) | Key content | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brochure + projects | 600,000 | 6-8 pages, services, project gallery, contact | 10-12 days |
| + Project sheets & quotes | 1,100,000 | + detailed sheets, certifications, quote form | 12-15 days |
| + Client project-tracking area | 1,800,000 | + client portal, project progress, documents | 15-18 days |
Monthly maintenance runs 40,000 to 100,000 FCFA (adding projects, security, backups).
The proof that wins a bid
A portfolio only convinces if it is quantified and verifiable. The table lists what to display, ordered by weight in a decision.
| Element to display | Effect on credibility | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Quantified project sheet (area, budget, timeline) | Concrete proof of capacity | High |
| Before / after photos | Immediate visual demonstration | High |
| Certifications & approvals | Passes administrative filters | High |
| Client testimonial | Social reassurance | Medium |
| References by type (roads, buildings) | Targeting relevant bids | Medium |
| Team & equipment | Demonstrated execution capacity | Medium |
A portfolio of 20 well-documented projects beats 100 context-free photos: each sheet must tell a problem solved.
Mini case study
Cheikh's company, based in Rufisque, bids on road and building tenders. Before, it sent a dated PDF brochure and lost to "more visible" competitors. With a 1,100,000 FCFA website presenting 20 quantified project sheets and its approvals, it is taken seriously from first contact. On 10 bids per quarter, it estimates moving from 2 to 3-4 shortlists: on contracts worth tens of millions of FCFA, a single win repays the website many times over.

FAQ
How much does a construction company website cost in Senegal in 2026?
From 600,000 FCFA for a brochure with projects to 1,800,000 FCFA with a client project-tracking area. Monthly maintenance runs 40,000 to 100,000 FCFA.
What should a project sheet contain?
The type of structure, the area or scale, the budget (or a range), the timeline met, the company's role and before/after photos. These figures distinguish a credible contender.
Does a website really help win bids?
It does not replace the administrative file, but it builds credibility and eases reference checks. Many clients review the website before shortlisting.
Is the client project-tracking area complex?
No: the client accesses project progress, photos and documents in a secure area. It reduces meetings and strengthens the trust relationship.
How quickly is the site delivered?
Between 10 and 18 days depending on the package, once projects and documents are provided. Documenting the project sheets is often the longest step on the client side.
