Industry Expertise
Digital Solutions for the Social Housing Sector
The housing sector runs on trust, accountability and the ability to win and keep public contracts. Housing associations, local authorities and the contractors who serve them are judged on credibility, transparency and how well they communicate with residents, stakeholders and procurement teams. Much of that judgement starts on a website.
EXPRE builds websites and digital marketing for organisations across social housing: registered providers, local authority teams, and the maintenance, surveying and facilities contractors that deliver on the ground. We focus on accessibility, credibility and search visibility, the parts of your digital presence that support tender submissions and reach decision-makers.

Sector Challenges We Address
Supporting Tenders and Frameworks
Procurement teams check your website before they shortlist. A clear, credible site that evidences your accreditations, completed work and social value strengthens every PQQ and ITT response. We do not write your bids, we build the digital proof that makes them more convincing.
Accessibility and Compliance
Public-sector bodies and the suppliers serving them are held to WCAG 2.2 AA. Accessibility is a legal duty and a fairness one: residents include people with disabilities who will be locked out of an inaccessible site. We build to the standard as a matter of course, not as an afterthought.
Resident and Stakeholder Trust
Housing organisations answer to residents, boards, regulators and funders at once. Your website has to communicate clearly with all of them: repairs and self-service for residents, performance and governance for stakeholders, and a credible front door for partners and procurement.
Built for a Sector That Runs on Trust
Housing decisions are scrutinised and slow to reverse, so the website has to do the early reassurance work. That means accessible, fast pages, accreditations and case evidence on show, and a clear route to contact whether the visitor is a resident, a housing officer or a procurement lead.
Many residents and frontline staff arrive on a phone. We build mobile-first, so reporting a repair or finding a policy takes seconds, and so a contractor looks as capable on a small screen as it does in a framework submission.
Accessibility is treated as a requirement, not an add-on. WCAG 2.2 AA is standard on the sites we build, which protects both the people using them and the organisations accountable for them.
Content and Search That Reach Decision-Makers
The people who award housing-sector work search in specific ways: a service plus a region, a framework name, a compliance requirement. Winning that visibility takes service pages with genuine depth, local relevance, and content that answers the questions buyers ask during research.
We help organisations publish at a credible pace using AI-assisted drafting with expert review, so the technical accuracy that this sector demands is never traded for volume. That keeps your expertise visible without pulling delivery staff off the work that earns the contracts.
What We Build for the Housing Sector
Housing Provider Websites
Accessible, well-structured sites for housing associations and local authority teams: resident services and repairs, policy and performance transparency, governance and board content, and a credible front door for partners and regulators.
Contractor and Supplier Websites
For the maintenance, surveying and facilities firms that serve housing: capability and accreditation pages, project evidence, social value content, and the credibility that supports framework and tender submissions.
Resident Portals and Self-Service
Authenticated areas for repairs reporting, account information, documents and updates, reducing call volumes and giving residents a clear, accessible way to self-serve at any hour.
Accessibility and Compliance
WCAG 2.2 AA builds with accessibility statements, audited contrast and keyboard support, and content structured for screen readers. The standard the public sector expects, met from the first build rather than retrofitted.
Local SEO and Visibility
Service-plus-region pages, Google Business Profile optimisation and a review strategy, so housing teams and procurement leads find you when they search for suppliers in their area.
AI Content and Measurement
AI-assisted content with expert review to publish faster without losing accuracy, plus enquiry and call tracking so you can see which services and regions generate real opportunities.
Common Questions
Do you write bids and tenders?
No. We build the website and digital evidence that strengthens your submissions: clear capability pages, project proof, accreditations and accessibility. A credible, compliant web presence supports the bid team rather than replacing it.
Can you meet public-sector accessibility requirements?
Yes. WCAG 2.2 AA is standard on the sites we build, with an accessibility statement, audited contrast and keyboard support, and content structured for assistive technology.
Do you work with contractors that serve housing, not just providers?
Yes. Much of our relevant work is with maintenance, surveying and facilities firms that deliver for the housing and public sector, where credibility and local visibility win contracts.
Can you build a resident portal?
Yes. We build authenticated self-service areas for repairs, documents and account information, designed to reduce call volumes and remain accessible to every resident.
What CMS do you recommend?
WordPress is our default for this sector: accessible, easy for your team to update, well supported and cost-effective. For larger or more complex estates, Drupal may suit better, and we will tell you honestly which fits.
