Make the offer legible in one screen
A visitor decides whether you are relevant before scrolling. Name the work, the area, and the action in the first screen, in the words a customer would use rather than the words your trade uses.

How do I get more quote requests from my site?
Most sites lose enquiries in the same few places: an unclear offer, a hidden action, a form that asks more than a stranger will answer, and silence after sending.
Ask for the next step, not the whole job
Request only what you need in order to reply: a name, a contact route, and enough about the job to decide whether to visit or price it. Every extra required field is another reason to close the tab.
Offer the contact route people prefer
Different customers will take entirely different routes to the same enquiry. Offering one of them well is worse than offering three plainly.
- A phone number that can be tapped on a phone
- A short form for people who will not phone a stranger
- A message route for enquiries made outside your hours
- A plain statement of when you reply, not an implied instant response
Say what happens after they send it
Confirm on screen that the request arrived, say when you will reply, and send the same confirmation to them. Silence after a send is the most common reason a person contacts a competitor next.
What a website cannot do
A site cannot create demand that is not there, and nobody honest can promise you a number of enquiries. What it can do is stop losing the people who already found you and could not work out what to do next.
A small first step
Ready to see what we would build for you?
Answer a few questions and we will show you what your website would include, what it would cost, and which parts we look after. Nothing is bought and nothing is charged until you say yes. You can stop partway through and pick it up later, or hand the rest to us.
