What WordPress handles for builders and construction companies

Galleries of completed projects. The core Gallery block arranges project photos in columns, with an option to enlarge each image on click.

Project enquiries with scope, site and budget range. A form plugin such as Contact Form 7 collects the job details; photo uploads and conditional fields depend on the plugin chosen.

Areas you build in. There is no core feature for this, so a suburb or postcode check is built as a small custom block.

Trade and staff recruitment. WP Job Manager adds job listings, submission forms and an employer dashboard.

What to check before choosing WordPress

Core, theme and plugin updates need regular attention.

Every plugin added is one more thing to keep current and compatible.

Running a WordPress site

Runs on hosting you choose, which needs PHP, a MySQL or MariaDB database and HTTPS.

Themes and custom blocks can be written in code.

Most features come from plugins in the WordPress.org directory.
