Neighbours drive past a finished build. The website is the moment of truth. A gallery filtered by material, size, neighbourhood seals or kills the lead.
02
Maintenance is recurring revenue
Sealing, staining, board replacement. A private customer portal with reminders and one-click rebooking captures revenue that builders typically lose to "I forgot".
03
Designs need a showcase
Custom designs differentiate. A portfolio with hover details, materials list, and "build this" CTA per project converts browsers into discovery calls.
What BuddyX gives deck builders
Four building blocks.
Filterable portfolio
Browse by material (composite, IPE, pressure-treated), size, feature (built-in seating, pergola, lighting). Each project links to a quote-this-design CTA.
Customer portal
Past customers see their build details: materials, warranty, care guide, scheduled maintenance. One-click rebook on the maintenance visit.
Neighbour referral engine
A "refer a neighbour" page per finished project. Customer shares the project URL; new neighbour fills the quote form; both get a thank-you note plus a discount on next service.
Quote calculator
Embedded calculator: deck dimensions plus material picks plus features estimates a budget range. Filters serious leads before the site visit.

Can the calculator handle composite material price changes?
Yes - the calculator is data-driven, not hard-coded. Update the price-per-sqft in WP admin when Trex or TimberTech changes pricing; the calculator follows.
Do we need a separate review platform?
BuddyX + BuddyPress Member Reviews captures reviews per project. For Google Reviews syndication, layer in Trustindex or Reviews.io. Both work simultaneously.
How do we handle seasonal slow periods?
FluentCRM segments past customers by build month. February campaign promotes spring board replacements; October campaign promotes sealing. Recurring revenue smooths the off-season.
