What a weak website costs a builders merchant

  • The builder cannot tell what you stock

    A site manager needs sand, board and fixings by 7am. If the range is not easy to scan, they ring round and the nearest depot wins.

  • Account requests go by phone

    A new contractor who has to ring in business details gets a slower start than one who can apply at 9pm after a long day.

  • Delivery rules are guesswork

    Lorry access, delivery days, minimum loads and offloading are the questions that cause site-day problems. If they are not on the site, they become calls.

  • Branches blur together

    Each depot has different hours and stock. One generic page sends people to the wrong yard.

What do builders and contractors check before they open an account with a merchant?

  • Ranges by trade

    Bricklayers, plasterers, roofers and groundworkers look for different things. Organise by how they buy.

  • Branch hours and location

    Which depot, when it opens and how to get a vehicle in. Early starts matter.

  • Collection and delivery options

    What you deliver, to where, on which days, and how collection works at each branch.

  • Account terms

    How to open a trade account and what happens next. Credit is a business decision, so describe your process as it really is.

  • Who to call

    A named trade desk or branch number for urgent orders, not a general enquiry form.

What we build for a builders merchant

  • Ranges organised by trade

    Product groups arranged around how bricklayers, roofers, plasterers and groundworkers actually buy, not how the stockroom is coded.

  • A trade account application

    A guided form that collects business details and what they expect to buy, checked before it reaches your trade desk.

  • Branch pages that differ

    Each depot has its own hours, access notes, contacts and stock highlights.

  • Delivery and collection explained

    Areas, days, access requirements and how to arrange a drop, in plain language.

  • Product enquiry routes

    A quick way to request a price on bulk or specialist items and reach the right person at the right branch.

  • Usable on site, on a phone

    Fast loading and readable in a cab or on scaffolding, because that is where the order is placed.

How should a builders merchant organise its range online?

A builders merchant should organise its range by how customers buy, which usually means by trade first, then product. A roofer looking for battens and membrane should not wade through plasterboard to find them.

In websites for builders merchants, we map your range to the real jobs: groundworks, brickwork, roofing, joinery, finishes. Customers scan quickly and get to a price request or a branch number. The structure also helps search engines understand what each page is about.

Can a builders merchant take trade account applications online?

Yes. A builders merchant can take trade account applications online, and it usually speeds up the first order. The form collects the business details your trade desk needs, so the first call is about what they need rather than who they are.

We describe credit and approval in your own words. Whether you offer credit, and on what basis, is your commercial decision, and the site only says what you actually do. If you want to go further, we can scope an application that moves into contract and e-signature, as we built for a London food wholesaler.

How much does a website for a builders merchant cost?

A builders merchant website is scoped per project, with no fixed packages. The scope is driven by the number of branches, how many product ranges need their own pages, and whether you want an account application.

You get a fixed written quote within 24 hours of enquiring. The site is live in 21 days from the day we have your content, and you own the site and every asset.

The trade-account funnel, built and running

A real wholesale build, from first visit to e-signed contract.

RKB Fruit & Veg website

B2B food wholesale, London

RKB Fruit & Veg rkbfruitandveg.uk

A marketing site and an end-to-end trade-account funnel for a London fresh-food wholesaler. From first visit to e-signed trade contract, the whole journey runs through one system.

  1. 01A trade-account application that qualifies the business before it reaches the sales team
  2. 02The trade contract generated from that application, so nobody retypes a field
  3. 03E-signature built into the funnel, so an account can be opened at 11pm with no one awake
  4. 04A full product range across six categories, with a live order cut-off countdown

Questions, answered

Do you build full online ordering for merchants?

Some merchants want price requests, others want full ordering. We scope what you need, and say plainly how big each option is.

Can each branch have its own page?

Yes. Hours, access notes, contact numbers and local stock highlights for each depot. Branch count affects scope.

Can the site take trade account applications?

Yes. The application collects business details and expected purchases, so your trade desk can respond properly.

Can we mention credit accounts?

Only as you actually offer them. We describe your process in your words and do not publish terms we cannot confirm.

How long does it take?

Live in 21 days from the day we have your content. We write the copy and set up enquiry alerts, tracking and the domain.

Will it help us rank locally?

Branch pages help search engines understand your coverage, but nobody can promise a ranking.
