How we work
A trust-first website for an established building company that had no online presence, turning a word-of-mouth reputation into a steady channel of new enquiries.
New Forest Building Co. is a construction company in Alderholt, East Dorset, serving the New Forest, Dorset and Hampshire. They cover the full range, home renovations, extensions, loft and garage conversions, new builds, driveways, kitchens and landscaping, and they have the track record to match: FMB-registered, listed on TrustATrader, with 282+ completed projects and 35 business partners. Despite all that, before working with DAX Studio they had no website at all.
A reputation built entirely on word of mouth has a ceiling: it only reaches people who already know someone. Homeowners across the area were searching online for builders and finding everyone except them. They needed a professional presence that earned trust quickly and turned that search into enquiries.
A homepage that opens with ‘Trusted Builders in Dorset & Hampshire’, backed by the numbers that matter: 282 projects completed, 48 sites in progress and 35 business partners.
A projects gallery of named local builds, from Yew Tree Cottage to Avon Castle and Wimborne, alongside a scrolling wall of real customer reviews, so quality is proven rather than just claimed.
A six-step walkthrough from first consultation to completion, plus a full services grid, so a homeowner knows exactly what working with them looks like.
FMB and TrustATrader badges, company and VAT details, and a simple contact form, so the credibility is obvious and getting in touch is effortless.
The site has become a consistent source of new enquiries. Homeowners across Dorset and Hampshire now find New Forest Building Co. online and reach out directly through the contact form, opening a channel that simply did not exist when the business ran on word of mouth alone. They are on an ongoing monthly plan, so the site stays current and looked after as the work keeps coming in.
