Websites for Contractors and Home Service Businesses
A contractor’s website has to do two things. When a homeowner nearby searches for the work you do, it has to be there. And once they land on it, calling you or asking for a quote has to be the obvious next step. We build sites for fence companies, landscapers, remodelers, cleaners and septic services around those two jobs, and keep them running while you are on the job.
What a trades website needs
Homeowners do not browse a contractor’s site the way they browse a store. They have a problem, they want to know you can fix it, and they want to reach you without hunting. Every site we build for a trade has these parts. (Other trades? See all our websites by industry.)
- A quote request that is hard to miss. Ground Breakers’ site puts a free quote request where visitors cannot miss it. Croix Area Fence goes further: visitors design their own fence and get an instant quote without waiting for a call back.
- Click-to-call. Your phone number sits at the top of every page and dials when tapped on a phone, because most of your visitors are standing in the yard looking at the problem.
- Service-area pages. Toombs Septic Services lists the areas it covers across Northwest Wisconsin, so a search from any of those towns finds a page about them.
- A project gallery. Respectful Remodeling’s site lets homeowners look through completed projects before they ask for a quote. Photos of finished work close more jobs than any paragraph.
- Reviews and trust signals. Google reviews, licensing and guarantees belong on the page. Croix Area Fence’s five-year warranty has its own section, and Toombs Septic’s licensing is front and center.
- A Google Business Profile that matches the site. We set up and tune your profile and make sure your name, address and phone number match on the directories that list you, so you show up on the map as well as in search.

Hosting and maintenance for owners who are never at a desk
You do not have time to learn a website editor, and you should not have to. Hosting and maintenance is $200/month: hosting, daily backups, security updates and content changes made in under 48 hours, so the site keeps working while you are out on a job.
Need a new service added, a price changed or a photo swapped? Send a text or an email and it is done. If your current site was built by someone you can no longer reach, we can take it over first.
What a contractor website costs
Published starting prices, and a written quote before any work starts.
Custom website
from $5,000
A design built around your business. On a redesign, every old page gets a permanent redirect, so the rankings you have carry over.
Small Business plan
$200/month
Branding, copywriting, design and development on one monthly bill, with no large invoice at the start.
Grow Together
10% of sales
Nothing up front. We build the site and run the marketing, SEO included, and we are paid only from the sales it brings in.
