Your Website Can Help Cut Through the Noise

Lessons From the Jobsite — and the Web

In 2025, if you’re in business, you need a website.
But let’s be real—just having a website doesn’t mean a thing.

What matters is whether it's effective.

We’re not web guys. We’re construction people. But when it came time to rebuild the QBC site, we knew it had to do more than list our scopes and slap up some jobsite photos. It had to work as hard as we do.

Here’s what we figured out.

It All Comes Down to Messaging

A good website isn’t about fancy animations or slick branding. It’s about this:

Does it clearly explain how you solve your customer’s problem?

That’s it. That’s the game.

If your site doesn’t speak directly to the people you want to work with you're wasting your time and you're missing out on bid invites.

Let’s Get to It: What Messaging Actually Means

"Messaging" just means the way your business talks online. The words. The tone. The story you tell. It’s how people figure out what you do—and whether they trust you to do it.

At QBC, we knew our messaging had to match how we show up in the field:

• No B.S.
• Solid results
• Extreme ownership

That’s how we landed on our unofficial tagline (some people hate it, most people love it):

“We get sh*t done.”

Not so clean. Direct. Tells you what you get if you work with us.

Our official tagline is safe for use around children:

“We make building easy.”

We know who we serve, we don't serve grade schoolers, we serve GCs, developers, and property managers. They're salty and they're tired of the b.s., and that's why "we get sh*t done" works.

Talk to the Right People

Your website isn’t for you. It’s for your ideal clients.

As previously stated, at QBC that’s developers, general contractors, and property managers. Busy people with tight timelines and big budgets. People who don’t have time for nonesense or chasing down five different subcontractors.

That’s who we’re talking to.

If you know your audience, you can say exactly what they need to hear:

• What problem you solve
• How you save them time
• Why you’re different from the next guy

How You Can Do It Too

We’re not trying to be branding experts. We’re just telling you what worked.

If you're reworking your website, start here:

🔩 Know who you're talking to

‍
Don’t try to impress everyone. Just speak to your people.

🔩 Focus on the pain

‍
What’s hard for them? What’s frustrating? That’s your in.

🔩 Show the benefit

‍
Don’t just say “We install trim.” Say “We handle finish scopes so you can stop chasing subcontractors.”

🔩 Keep it human

‍
Our unofficial tagline literally said “We get sh*t done.” We cleaned it up with our official tagline, but the message stuck.

No One Reads, Everyone Skims

Headlines matter. You’ve got three seconds (or less) to make someone care.

‍

Here’s the test:

‍
Can your headline pass the “busy GC scrolling on a jobsite” test? If not, rewrite it.

Tips:

• Be clear, not clever
• Say what you do
• Tell them what they get out of it

An old friend used to say, "skip the delivery and show me the baby". When applied to web copy that's exactly how you should think about it.

What Comes After Messaging?

Once you’ve got your message dialed in, you can build a website that actually works.

We used Webflow for ours. Why?

• Our team knew it already
• We didn’t want to rely on a developer for every little change
• It gave us the flexibility to make the site feel like us

There’s no perfect tool. Just pick one you can run with and fits your budget.

Your Challenge (For Real)

Take 5 minutes. Pull up your website.

Then ask yourself:

✅ Is it clear?
✅ Does it cut through the noise—or does it sound like everyone else?
✅ Would your ideal customer feel like you’re talking to them?

If not, it’s time for a reset.
