Websites for forestry contractors
Web design for forestry contractors that handle the licence too
PrimeStart designs a website around your business, then hosts it, updates it and looks after it for you. Built to answer a landowner's question before they try the next contractor on the list — from £99.99 a month with £0 upfront design fee.

Why a website
A landowner booking forestry work wants a clear answer before they commit to a woodland.
They want to know what scale you take on, whether you handle the licence and extraction, and whether you cover their site - fast, because trees are often being felled around a seasonal or a planning window. A site that answers all three clearly, rather than a phone number that goes unanswered mid-job, is often the difference between a booking and a call to the next contractor.
A landowner checks which services you offer
Felling, woodland management, timber extraction or firewood processing, described exactly as your business does them.
A landowner checks what kit you bring
Your actual machinery, described honestly, rather than a generic equipment list.
A landowner checks your coverage area
Your working radius, described as your own, rather than left to a phone call to confirm.
They want a fast way to ask about a job
A simple enquiry route, rather than a form built for something else, catches the enquiries you'd otherwise lose.
Getting found
A landowner or land agent usually searches before they ever call.
"forestry contractor near me", "woodland management Shropshire", "timber extraction contractor" — searches made by landowners and land agents planning forestry work. Website + SEO is the ongoing work of being visible when they do.
- Local searches, agreed with you. We pick the three searches that matter most to your business — say, "forestry contractor Ludlow", "woodland management near me" and "timber extraction Shropshire" — and work on them every month.
- Google Business Profile. Set up and kept current, so you appear on the map with your services, your coverage area and a way to get in touch.
- Reviews handled carefully. A simple way to gather genuine reviews from landowners you've worked with, shown as written and never used to imply a result we can't confirm.
- Content that answers real questions. Which services you offer, what kit you bring, and how far you travel, written accurately for the landowners asking.
- A monthly report you can read. What moved and what we're doing about it — in your Client Platform, without the analytics jargon.
We never promise rankings or a number of new visitors. We do promise consistent, honest work on being found — and to show you exactly what we did.
Built for you
A landowner needs a clear answer about scale and licensing fast, not one generic countryside template.
They're deciding whether you take on jobs of this size and handle the licence side, and a generic template that never actually says either makes that harder than it should be. We don't.
Every PrimeStart website is designed from scratch and custom coded on WordPress in HTML and PHP — no page builders, no theme bought off a shelf with your logo dropped in. It's built around what your business actually offers: your services, your kit, and your own coverage area.
"A landowner booking a felling job wants to know, clearly, whether you take on jobs this size and what happens with the licence. Show them both, and most of the back-and-forth goes away."
Why scale and licensing guidance sit side by side on every forestry contractor's site- 1
Felling, management, extraction and firewood, never assumed together
Described exactly as your business has them, never inflated to look bigger than it is.
- 2
The machinery you actually bring
Never a generic equipment list or a job you don't actually do.
- 3
A link to the official felling licence guidance
Background information for visitors, never a claim about any specific job we can't confirm.
- 4
A link to your existing enquiry process
Never a job-scheduling system we build — a clear route to however jobs are already booked in.
