Website design for property investment / refurbishment business

Project brief:

I am looking for a freelance web designer/developer to create a small but polished website for Bricks 4 Life, a property investment and refurbishment business.
The business began by buying properties that needed love, vision and investment, transforming them into something special, and then selling them. Over time, other contractors and members of the public have also started approaching us for help with their own projects, so the website now needs to reflect both our property background and the services we can offer.
We do not need a huge website at this stage. We need a professional, credible site that looks established, modern and trustworthy.

Pages required:

1. Homepage
2. Gallery / Projects page
3. About / Business Overview page
4. Contact page

What the site needs to do:

• Look clean, polished and professional
• Showcase our work through strong property photography
• Explain clearly what Bricks 4 Life does
• Encourage enquiries from homeowners, landlords, investors and contractors
• Be mobile-friendly
• Be easy to update with new project photos later

Content/assets we can provide:

• Logo files
• Lots of project/property photos
• Contact details
• Background on the business

Style direction:

The site should feel:
• premium but not flashy
• modern and image-led
• trustworthy and established
• simple and easy to navigate

Functionality required:

• Contact form
• Mobile optimisation
• Basic SEO setup
• Fast loading
• Advice on best platform (likely WordPress, but open to suggestions)

Optional extra:

Please also price separately for a simple AI chatbot or live chat widget that can answer basic questions and capture enquiries.

Important:

Please keep the build cost-effective and avoid overcomplicating it. I would rather have a smaller website done very well than a large site with unnecessary features.
Please send:

• examples of similar work
• recommended platform
• quote for essential build
• separate cost for optional extras
• estimated turnaround time

Essential now

• Homepage
• Gallery
• About
• Contact
• Strong photos
• Clean copy
• Mobile-friendly
• Contact form

A homepage structure

1. Strong headline
2. Short paragraph explaining who you are
3. “What we do” section
4. Gallery preview
5. Why choose us
6. Contact form / call to action

A better line for the business itself would be:

Bricks 4 Life buys, improves and transforms properties with vision, care and investment — turning tired spaces into something genuinely special.

And a simple service framing could be:

• Property investment and refurbishment
• Property transformation projects
• Renovation support and advice
• Help for homeowners, landlords and contractors

Thanks
