A contractor website that filters enquiries before the visit.

A contractor website should save you wasted site visits as much as it brings in new calls. It needs pages written around the jobs you actually want, real photographs of finished work, licence and insurance details near the decision, and an enquiry form that asks for the property, scope and timeline before you ever get in the van.

The short answer

Show the work. State the minimums. Filter the quote requests.

Homeowners hiring a general contractor, builder, electrician or remodeller are nervous about two things: whether you will turn up and finish the job, and what it will roughly cost. Meanwhile, contractors lose hours every week driving out to price jobs that were never in budget or outside their trade. A good website solves both problems on the screen before anyone picks up the phone.

Why generic trade templates fail

Most contractor websites look identical: a stock photo of a hard hat you do not own, a bulleted list of twenty services, and a form that says "Name, Email, Message". That page attracts every low-budget odd job in town while giving serious buyers zero confidence. Writing specific pages for the jobs you want — kitchen extensions, commercial fit-outs, electrical rewires, structural work — brings better enquiries and makes search engines understand what you actually do.

Demo builds you can inspect

Two of our three public demos are built for trades: Bob's Plumbing Co. (built for rapid phone conversion and job triage) and Summit Roofing (built for high-ticket material comparisons and specification leads). Both are demo builds made by us to show our work, not client projects. You can open both on your phone to see how fast a hand-coded trade site loads.

What a contractor build includes

Dedicated pages for your highest-value services, written in the words homeowners and site managers search for.
Project galleries with fast-loading before, during and after photography and short scope captions.
A quote-request form that asks for location, project type, rough budget band and target start date.
Licence numbers, trade accreditations, warranties and insurance stated clearly on the page.
Consistent business name, address, phone number and service area for local map pack visibility.
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript with full ownership of domain, hosting and code at handover.

What it costs and how long

We quote one fixed price in writing before work starts, with a firm delivery date. Simple trade sites take days; larger multi-service builds take a few weeks depending on photography and copy. In our 2026 pricing study, small business websites across the market run $1,000–$15,000 depending on scope, while pay-monthly trade agency plans often charge ~$120/month ($4,300+ over three years) for a template you never own.

Questions

What if I do not have professional photos of my past jobs?

Phone photos taken in daylight are usually plenty if they show the real work clearly: before, during and finished. Visitors trust an honest site photo from a real job far more than a polished stock image of a house in another country.

Can the site filter out jobs that are too small?

Yes. Stating your typical project scope or minimum job size in plain English, and using budget or job-type dropdowns on the quote form, politely steers small odd-job callers away while reassuring serious clients that their project is your normal work.

Who owns the website and domain when it launches?

You do. We register or keep the domain, hosting and email in accounts under your name and hand over the source files and logins in a written document. There is no lock-in and no required monthly fee.
