Website Design for car dealers

Website design plans and builds a site around how your customers choose and contact you, from the page structure to the details that build trust. For car dealers, that means getting current stock, finance and trade-in information and dealer location right, because car buyers comparing stock and trade-in options want to enquire on a car or book a test drive without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Car buyers comparing stock and trade-in options want to enquire on a car or book a test drive.

A car dealer website usually has to handle searchable vehicle stock, trade-in and finance enquiries and test drive booking.

Searchable vehicle stock: buyers filter stock by make, price and type. Feed stock from your dealer system so sold cars come off quickly.

Trade-in and finance enquiries: buyers want an idea of trade-in value early. Ask for trade-in vehicle details and photos.

Test drive booking: booking ensures the car is ready. Tie the booking to a specific vehicle in stock.

What to have ready

A list of your services and the ones you most want to grow.
