Case study · Civil contractor Corridor Contractors: a civil contractor’s website rebuilt around the work buyers look for
Corridor Contractors builds roads, utilities and sites for transportation departments and cities in Washington, Idaho, Montana and Oregon, from its base in Airway Heights. Their old Wix homepage didn’t say any of that. We moved them off Wix onto a new site that leads with the work, names the agencies they build for and puts Request a Bid on every screen.

Left: the old Wix site in February 2026. Right: the new site in October 2026. Both at desktop width.
Point by point
What’s new, and what was missing
Go through the numbered notes on the full homepage. Switch between the new site and the old one; each note says what it replaced.
-
(509) 244-6160 sits in the bar above the menu on every page.
Before: no phone number anywhere on the homepage.
-
About, Services, Projects and Aggregate & Materials each open to their own pages: company story, leadership, safety and compliance, careers, nine service pages and the project types.
Before: Home, Our Work, About Us, The Newsroom, Contact Us.
-
“Inland Northwest Civil Contractor,” then one line naming the work (civil construction, underground utilities, site development), who it’s for (municipalities, developers, engineers) and where (WA, ID, MT and OR).
Before: “Never Idle” in a black box, and nothing saying what the company does or where.
-
The main button goes straight to a bid request page. It shows up again after the “why us” section and once more above the footer.
Before: two “Read More” buttons and a “See All” link.
-
WSDOT, the Montana and Idaho transportation departments, and the cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Post Falls and Cheney, right under the headline. Public buyers look for work done for agencies like theirs.
Before: no clients named on the page.
-
Six photos from Corridor job sites, from underground utilities to asphalt milling, under “Civil Construction Across Every Major Sector.”
Before: two photos, both mostly covered by text boxes.
-
“Not the Lowest Bid. The Best Outcome.” Four reasons beside it (field crews, machine control, complex projects, long-term partnerships), and a paragraph naming DOTs in four states and the City of Spokane as clients.
Before: “We are more than a contractor, we are family.”
-
Each service gets a short description here and a page of its own, so each one can show up in search for the people hiring that kind of work.
Before: eleven services in a plain list with no links.
-
Their GPS machine control gets a full-width section: tighter tolerances, less rework and shorter schedules on complex sites.
Before: not mentioned on the homepage.
-
Six more project photos, heavy haul, mass excavation and site work, with a link to the full project pages.
Before: projects were only in the menu.
-
The Airway Heights address, phone and email, links to every service and to the materials they sell (topsoil, drain rock, asphalt millings, Avista spec sand, quarry spalls), the WA license number and a current copyright year.
Before: “© 2017 by Corridor Contractors” and three social icons.
Old homepage: the Wix site, February 2026. New homepage: October 2026. Both at desktop width.
The situation
Where Corridor Contractors started
Public agencies and general contractors check the same things before they call a civil contractor: the kind of work, proof it’s been done for agencies like theirs, and a simple way to ask for a bid. Corridor had all of that. The Wix homepage showed almost none of it.
- A headline that said nothing: “Never Idle” in a black box, with nothing about what the company does or where.
- No phone number anywhere on the homepage.
- No way to ask for a bid: two “Read More” buttons and a “See All” link.
- No clients named, though they build for state transportation departments and cities.
- Services with nowhere to go: eleven services in a plain list with no links, and projects only in the menu.
- Little of the work itself: two photos, both mostly covered by text boxes, and a footer that still said “© 2017.”
What we changed
Built around how public buyers hire
Says what and where up front
“Inland Northwest Civil Contractor,” then one line naming the work (civil construction, underground utilities, site development), who it’s for (municipalities, developers, engineers) and the four states they work in.
Request a Bid, three times
The main button goes straight to a bid request page, and it comes back after the “why us” section and again above the footer. The phone number sits above the menu on every page.
The agencies they build for
WSDOT, the Montana and Idaho transportation departments, and the cities of Spokane, Spokane Valley, Post Falls and Cheney, right under the headline.
A page for every service
Menus built around what buyers look for: company story, leadership, safety and compliance, careers, nine service pages, project types, and the aggregate and materials they sell.
Their own job sites
Twelve photos from Corridor jobs on the homepage, from underground utilities and asphalt milling to heavy haul and mass excavation, with a link to the full project pages.
Built for search
Off Wix and onto WordPress. The homepage title leads with “Civil Contractor Spokane WA,” most photos have file names that describe the work, and the footer carries the address, license number and every service.
The result
Where the site stands now
The old Wix site had 6 pages. The new one has 25, plus a shop with a page for each of the 7 aggregates and materials Corridor sells, so every service and project type has its own page to be found on.
The site now ranks for a long list of searches in its industry, and every page gives a buyer a direct way to ask for a bid.
