Website Design for Haulage and Logistics Companies

A website that helps customers find your haulage business

When somebody needs a haulage company, they’re usually looking for something specific. A particular type of transport, specialist equipment, coverage in their area or a company they can trust with the job.

Your website needs to make those answers obvious.

I design websites for haulage, transport and logistics companies that clearly explain what you do, where you operate and how potential customers can get in touch.

That means giving each of your services the space it deserves, presenting your fleet and capabilities properly, and building the website around the searches your potential customers are actually making.

Built around your services and the areas you cover

A haulage website shouldn’t be a homepage followed by a single page listing everything your company does.

If you provide general haulage, HIAB transport, abnormal load movements, warehousing or specialist services, those can each have their own properly structured pages explaining the service and giving search engines useful content to understand.

The same applies to location. If your business serves customers across Nottingham, Derby, the Midlands or nationwide, I’ll consider that when planning the structure and content of the website.

The result is a site that’s useful to potential customers while giving your business a much stronger foundation for being found through search.

Everything your transport website needs

Clear service pages

Give each of your core services its own space rather than squeezing everything into a few paragraphs. Potential customers can quickly find the service they need and understand whether you’re the right company for the job.

Your fleet and capabilities

Your vehicles and equipment are a huge part of what you’re selling. I’ll give you the space to show your fleet properly, with useful information about vehicle types, capabilities and specialist equipment where relevant.

Areas you cover

Make it clear where you operate, whether that’s locally around Nottingham and Derby, throughout the UK or into Europe.

Projects and company news

Show potential customers the work you’re actually doing. Your team will be able to publish recent jobs, company updates, new vehicles and other news directly through WordPress.

Simple ways to enquire

Phone numbers, email addresses and enquiry forms should be easy to find when somebody is ready to speak to you. I design clear routes through the website so a potential customer isn’t left wondering what to do next.

Built for mobile

Your website will work properly across phones, tablets and desktop computers, making it just as easy to find information or get in touch from the cab of a lorry as it is from an office.

Designed to build trust in your business

Choosing a transport company can mean trusting another business with valuable goods, important deadlines and complicated logistics.

Your website should reflect the company behind it.

Good photography, clear information about your fleet and services, accreditations, customer relationships and examples of your work can all help a potential customer understand who they’re dealing with before they pick up the phone.

I’ll design the website around your existing brand and business rather than dropping your logo into a generic transport template.

Built on WordPress and easy to keep updated

I build my websites on WordPress, giving your team control over the website once it’s live.

I’ll create the editing experience around the information you actually need to manage. That could include adding vehicles to your fleet, publishing a recent job, updating a service or adding company news.

You won’t need to call a developer every time somebody wants to change a paragraph or upload a photograph.

I’ll also provide training before launch so the people responsible for the website know exactly how to use it.

Proven results for a Derbyshire haulage company

I designed and developed a new WordPress website for AJB Transport, a Derbyshire-based haulage company providing UK and European freight transport alongside specialist HIAB services.

The new website was structured around the company’s individual services and built with search visibility in mind.

In its first 12 months, the website attracted more than 4,000 visitors, grew consistently month-on-month and reached more than 700 visitors in a single month. AJB also reached the top of Google for multiple relevant searches, including the number one position for “HIAB Hatton”.

Why work with me on your haulage website?

Experience in the transport sector

I’ve already designed, developed and grown a website for an established haulage and HIAB company, so I’m familiar with presenting transport services, fleets, coverage and specialist capabilities online.

Direct working relationship

You’ll work directly with me throughout the project. No account managers or layers of communication between you and the person actually designing and building your website.

Built around your business

Your website will be planned around your services, customers and locations rather than forcing your business into a generic haulage website template.

Easy to manage

I’ll build the WordPress CMS around your content and train your team to use it, so everyday updates don’t require a developer.

Ongoing support

I can continue to host, maintain and support your website after launch, giving you somebody to contact whenever you need help.
