Should customers be able to book a move online, or only ask for a quote?

For most moves a quote request is the honest choice, because the price depends on volume, floors and access that somebody has to see. Online booking suits jobs with a fixed scope: a van with two porters by the hour, or a storage room of a set size. We build the request so that it leads to a video survey, and add booking only where the price really is fixed.

What do we have to hand over before the removal website can be built?

A list of the moves you take and those you refuse, the area and regular routes, your terms and insurance details, and photos of vans and crews. A standard site is built in 4–8 weeks, and most delays come from waiting for those materials. If photos are missing, plan one working day on which someone follows a crew with a camera.

How will we tell that the new website does its job?

By what reaches the office. We count quote requests, calls from the phone button and video surveys booked, each by kind of move, and compare them with the old site over the same season. We also check at which step people give up on the quote request, because that shows what to shorten.

Our old site has pages from years back. What becomes of them?

Each is checked before anything is switched off. Pages that people still reach, such as a packing guide or a route page, are carried over or pointed to their closest new page, so nobody lands on an error. Pages about services you dropped are removed on purpose. The list of old and new addresses is agreed with you before launch.

Plan for your industry

Website Development for Moving Companies

A moving company's website should follow the order in which people decide: whether you handle a move like theirs, what the price covers and roughly what it will be.

Photos of your own vans and crew do more than any stock picture of smiling movers.

Market realities

Online challenges for moving companies

Too often, people in a hurry have to hunt for the phone number, the area and proof, while visitors from same-city removals and last-minute move searches need them at once.

Local, long-distance and office moves are different searches

Each type of move is priced differently, has its own urgency and needs different questions before a quote.

One general page leads to quotes that do not fit and harder sales conversations.
A separate path for each type of move brings more bookings and better calls.

Stressed customers need to see quickly what is included

During a move, hidden fees and vague descriptions of the process kill trust fast.

A clear way of pricing and a plain list of what is included win more jobs.
Reassurance should come before long forms or quote calculators.

Stock photos of smiling movers where your crew should be

People hand a removal crew everything they own, so they want to see the real vans and the real team.

A site full of generic pictures gives them no face to trust.
On a phone in a flat full of boxes, the kind of move and what it includes must come before anything else.

What we do

Web Design and Development approach for moving companies

For moving companies, we design the site for phones first, with the service area confirmed at a glance and proof that helps visitors decide without searching for the basics.

A page for each kind of move, in the order people decide

A visitor first checks that you do their kind of move, then what it includes, then what it may cost.

House moves, office moves, storage and packing each get a page built in that order, ending with the same short quote request, so nobody gets lost in the menu.
One page explains the day itself: when the crew arrives, who protects floors and door frames, what the customer should have ready and what happens if the keys are late.

What the first screen of a phone has to show

Most people look up a removal firm on a phone, often in a flat full of half-packed boxes.

Without scrolling they see the area you cover, a button that rings the office and a second one that starts a quote, and under them one line about insurance.
The quote request is split into short steps with large fields: both addresses, floors and lift, number of rooms, the date and whether it can shift. Photos or a short video can replace a typed list.

Your vans and your people in place of stock pictures

Strangers will carry everything the customer owns, so the website has to show who they are.

We need photos of your own vehicles with the name on the side, the crews at work, blankets, crates and the store, plus the insurance certificate and your terms in plain words.
At launch every address of the old site is pointed to its new page, the quote request is tried on several phones, and loading time is measured on a mobile connection.

Web Design and Development process for moving companies

Brief and material

We agree what the site has to do and collect what we need from you: photos, facts and the questions customers ask.

Structure and design

We plan the pages in the order a visitor decides and design the phone screen first. On a mover's site the quote form comes before the company story, asks for floors, lifts and big items, and the photos show your own vans instead of stock pictures.

Build and launch

We build a fast site, redirect old addresses so nothing is lost and test every form and call button before launch.

After launch

We watch which pages lead to enquiries and fix whatever slows visitors down.

Price: a website for moving companies with 1–3 pages starts at €650, and a company website with 5–7 pages at €1,300, plus VAT.

How we measure results for moving companies

We count finished quote forms and calls from the phone screen, and check where on the form people stop before sending it.
