Sheriff launches its new website today!

Sheriff Construction is happy to announce that its new look website has gone live today.

Have a look now at: sheriffconstruction.co.uk

Ahead of lockdown, and as Sheriff headed towards its fifteenth year of operation within the construction industry, it became clear to us that our website was due for an update. Despite facing several challenges in maintaining a growing construction business over the past few months, we continued to work on developing the site and are now ready to reveal the changes.

The new site has been designed with a simple colour scheme and dynamic features that ensure it looks and feels modern. As well as including all the basic information about the company, there are distinct sections for each of our key areas of work – brickwork, flat-roofing and developments, plus regularly updated portfolio and news sections. With an easy to navigate structure, the whole website has become more user-friendly, allowing visitors to find the information they’re looking for in as few clicks as possible.

We’re thrilled with the changes and really hope you like them too!

Check out the site in full here and let us know what you think.
