Transport and delivery: Website for courier services
A website for courier services that explains delivery services and service levels clearly enough for a shipper to know in advance which one suits the consignment.
What visitors want to know from courier services.
Many courier service websites list a row of options such as same day, overnight and express without explaining what separates them in practice. A shipper cannot tell whether express means a van at the door straight away or a parcel that arrives later the same day. What the courier does not handle is usually missing too: chilled goods, hazardous materials, pallets without a tail lift. So the phone ends up doing the explaining. The planner answers the same questions about collection cut-offs and maximum sizes over and over, and receives requests for consignments the vans cannot carry.

Describe each service by consignment
Every service gets its own explanation in the shipper's terms: when it is collected, when it arrives, which sizes and weights fit and what happens if nobody is in. No internal codes or jargon, but the situation in which someone needs it, such as a forgotten part for an engineer or signed papers for a solicitor.
Put the differences side by side
A comparison shows where express, standard day delivery and scheduled runs differ: departure time, expected arrival, proof of delivery and what happens at a closed address. A visitor who is unsure sees at a glance which option fits the deadline and which questions still need answering before sending a request.
Ask the questions that decide
When someone hesitates, the site asks a few targeted questions: how big is it, does it have to go today, is there a loading bay. Based on the answers it suggests a service and passes the visitor to the enquiry form with that choice already filled in, rather than leaving them with an empty contact box.
Connected to your software.
The website does not need to replace the order portal or customer login that business shippers already use. Regular clients keep booking where they are used to; the site is for new shippers and one-off consignments. You manage the copy on services, collection times and conditions yourself, so a changed cut-off for express runs never waits on a developer. Enquiries go to the inbox or system where planning already receives them. Terms and rates belong to the courier; the site only shows what you have chosen to publish.
Publish rates or quote on request
A price guide on the site attracts private senders and small firms who want to decide quickly, but mileage, waiting time and surcharges often make a fixed price misleading. Many courier services therefore explain what drives the price and promise a fast quote after the request. Which way you go depends on how predictable your runs are.
Broad offer or a clear specialism
A courier that lists everything from envelopes to pallets and medical consignments comes across as less convincing than one that shows what it is genuinely good at. Yet nobody wants to turn work away. One answer is a single main message that leads with the specialism, followed by a calm list of what else is possible.
Business shippers or private senders
A regular shipper looks for agreements on collection rounds, monthly invoicing and a named contact. A private sender wants to know whether the parcel goes today and what it costs. Serving both on the same page makes the copy vague. Separate entry points, each with their own questions, keep the site useful for both.

Read the storyWhat goes on the website.
We build the service pages, a comparison of service levels, a page on collection and delivery windows and a clear route to the enquiry form, and put the site live. Before launch we click through two questions together: an everyday one, such as a box of documents to an office in another city, and a difficult one, a consignment that has to go today but is too big for a van. Pages per type of shipper and an explanation of proof of delivery can be added whenever you like.
View pricingHosting and careGood to know.
Explore pricing and optionsDo we have to put our rates on the website?
No. You can also explain what the price depends on, such as distance, urgency, weight and waiting time, and promise a quick quote. If most of your work is one-off parcels from private senders, a price guide helps more; if you mainly serve regular shippers, a clear explanation of how agreements work usually does.
Can we update the collection times ourselves?
Yes. Collection times, cut-offs for express runs and holiday exceptions are edited in a simple admin screen. That keeps the site in line with what planning can actually deliver, even when a cut-off is temporarily earlier because fewer drivers are available.
What happens to enquiries sent through the website?
They go to wherever planning already works, such as a shared inbox or the system in which orders are created. Each enquiry carries the chosen service and the answers to the follow-up questions, so the planner does not have to ring back for the basics.
How do we avoid requests for goods we do not carry?
By stating on the service pages what is not possible, such as chilled transport or overweight pallets, and by checking size and weight in the follow-up questions. A visitor whose consignment does not fit gets an honest message instead of a request that is turned down later.
