Concrete 247 | Website Design & Development

Concrete 247 by Hilcon is a Hampshire-based family-run concrete and aggregate company that serves Southampton and the surrounding areas. Concrete 247 uses volumetric mixers rather than typical concrete mixers, so you only pay for the concrete that is poured.

What we did

Establishing a new concrete brand in an area with fierce competition was likely to be tricky, fortunately, Hilcon, the parent of Concrete 247 had a strong reputation for delivering quality materials on time and on budget to builders and contractors. For Concrete 247 to succeed, it needed a strong web presence with a credible website to generate leads for the consumer and jobbing builder market.

Website Design with Lead Generation

ExpressionEngine, our chosen ContentManagement System (CMS), was used to create the Concrete 247 website. The goal of the website is to get users to use the online cost calculator and convert them into an online lead that can be processed by the office staff.

The Concrete 247 website is mobile-friendly and offers the following features:

Online Cost Calculator - This is an interactive calculator that will assist visitors in determining how much concrete they require. Works in metre, centimetre, inch, foot, or yard measurements. As part of the online inquiry, this information is automatically added.
Campaign Tracking - Leads are tracked by their location, the service they require, and the phone number they dialled
