Construction Company Website Quote in London (2026)

Digital Africa

The verdict in three sentences

For a 300-employee construction company, a website that convinces international clients and funders costs 3 to 8 million FCFA (EUR 4,600 to 12,200, about USD 5,000 to 13,300), delivered in 7 weeks. Prequalification committees check the website before they even open the technical bid: a gallery of 20 documented projects, certifications and equipment pages and a second language version often make the difference. Maintenance runs about 80,000 FCFA (EUR 120) a month, a modest sum compared with a single contract.

What international buyers check on your website

World Bank, African Development Bank, AFD, mining or oil groups: buyers running tenders systematically check bidders online. Their implicit checklist looks like this.

Item checkedWhat reassuresWhat disqualifies
Project references20 projects with client, value, timeline, photosPhoto gallery without captions
CertificationsISO 9001, ISO 45001, public works approvals as PDFsLogos without documents
EquipmentPlant fleet list, batching plant, workshopsNo information
Leadership teamOrg chart, engineers, years of experienceVague "about us" page
LanguageFull English (or French) versionSingle language only
HSE and complianceSafety policy, incident rate, code of ethicsMissing
ContactPhysical address, landline, email on the company domainGmail address

For a donor-funded regional contract, the lack of a second language and verifiable references is sometimes enough to drop a bid at prequalification.

The higher tier adds drone footage across several sites, a careers area and a secure download module for the capability statement (reference book). Maintenance at 80,000 FCFA a month covers hosting, security updates, 2 new projects added per quarter and daily backups.

The 7-week schedule

Week 1: workshop with the CEO and technical director to select the 20 flagship projects and gather completion certificates. Weeks 2 and 3: design and copy, with figures validated per project (value, timeline, client). Weeks 4 to 6: development, translation and photo integration. Week 7: QA, launch and professional email addresses on the company domain. The main delay risk is collecting photos and certificates: plan for an internal contact available 4 hours a week.

Mini case study

David, CEO of a 300-employee construction company bidding from London on African infrastructure projects, answers 24 international tenders a year. He is prequalified 25% of the time and wins one contract for every four prequalifications, with an average value of 800 million FCFA (EUR 1.2 million) and a 7% net margin. He invests 5 million FCFA (EUR 7,600) in a bilingual website with 20 documented projects, plus 960,000 FCFA (EUR 1,460) of annual maintenance. If his prequalification rate rises to 35%, he gets 2.4 more prequalifications a year, about 0.6 extra contract: 33.6 million FCFA (EUR 51,000) of expected net margin. Even with an assumption twice as cautious, the site pays back nearly three times in year one.

FAQ

Why does a construction website cost more than a small business brochure site?

Because it must document 20 projects, certifications and a full second language. A 500,000 FCFA (EUR 760) brochure site includes neither the technical copywriting nor the photography needed to convince a funder.

Should we publish the value of completed contracts?

It is recommended where the contract allows, at least as a range (for example 500 million to 1 billion FCFA, EUR 0.75 to 1.5 million). Prequalification committees compare these values with the required capacity thresholds.

Is a second language really essential?

Yes, for contracts funded by the World Bank, the African Development Bank or international groups. It costs 400,000 to 1,000,000 FCFA (EUR 610 to 1,525), a tiny fraction of a contract worth hundreds of millions.

What does the 80,000 FCFA monthly maintenance include?

Hosting, security updates, daily backups and 2 projects added per quarter. Larger changes, such as a careers area, are quoted separately, starting at 400,000 FCFA (EUR 610).

Can we pay for the website in instalments?

Yes, a standard schedule is 40% on order, 40% on design approval and 20% at launch. Bank transfer, card, Wave and Orange Money are accepted.
