Made for people looking for a carpentry firm
Homeowners in and around Voorbeeldstad who want a dormer, new window frames or a staircase. They want to see craftsmanship, get a price indication and quickly reach someone who will come and measure up.
- The craftsman at your door: Jacco, the owner, is visible everywhere: he comes to measure up himself and writes short pencil notes next to the work. A dovetail joint forms the logo and the seams between sections. That way the site feels like a carpenter you know, not a company.
- Every service has its own page with starting prices incl. VAT and an honest lead time.
- Every project names the area, the number of working days and the cost.
- The quote form asks for postcode, type of job and photos: exactly what a carpenter needs for a first estimate.
- The design: This site tells a carpenter's story in chapters, starting from a large photo of the work itself. Jacco is the face with his pencil notes, the chapter numbers have the growth rings of wood and the dovetail is the hallmark: you feel the craft, and see straight away what it costs and who's coming.
- Good photos: real pictures of the work, the premises and the people sell better than stock photos.
