The internet is a perfect match for the construction business.
Retirement or dream homes are planned years in advance. My clients have found that their websites have enabled them to gather a following of potential customers online.
- Keep people and search engines coming back with regular updates.
- Showcase the quality of your work with great photos, well presented.
- Spend less time on the phone by letting the information on your website do the talking. When people finally contact you, they will be better informed.
Timber Frame and Log Home Builder Websites
I’ve worked with Heartwood Log Homes and Arlington Frame Company since the late 1990s, and the websites now drive their businesses. Their sites have been redesigned and updated often over the years. Both companies are located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia.
Arlington Frame Company has spawned Timberframe Houseplans Ltd., which sells timber frame house plans online and feeds the construction side of the business as well.
David Yasenchack is an artisan timberframer in Ohio who works with the beautiful species of trees growing on his Pennsylvania land to build unique and personal timber frames.
Wise Owl Joinery Co. is another artisan builder in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. He has found a niche doing smaller projects with the supply of seasoned timbers he keeps on hand.
TimberhArt Woodworks evolved out of the first timber frame revival company in Nova Scotia, and I built their first website back in 1998 or so. More recently I’ve redesigned it, incorporating disparate elements introduced by others along the way.
Cocks & Delaney are general contractors and master carpenters and cabinetmakers from Mahone Bay who build new homes, do historic restoration and home renovation projects, and cabinetry. They serve customers in the South Shore, Annapolis Valley and Halifax areas of Nova Scotia.
They also do a fine job of finishing off a timber frame to the turnkey stage.
Timber Tools sells specialty timber framing tools and log building tools, including Serra portable sawmills and, on a separate website I designed for them, Krusi CNC wood milling machines to companies such as the above. I also built them a small site for the mortise and slotter chains used by their timber framing customers. The Timbertools site now has e-commerce, and is a perennial work in progress, constantly growing with new products while improving its attractiveness, search engine optimization and accessibility.
Timber framing is a bit of a specialty at HolmPage Productions.
