For contractors

Websites for general contractors that turn slow research into qualified estimate requests.

A remodel is a months-long decision. Your website is the part that proves you can be trusted before anyone picks up the phone.

Before they contact you

What contractors customers need to see first.

These are the questions a real customer is answering in the first thirty seconds on your site. Most of the work of a good contractor website is making the answers obvious.

  • What kinds of work do you actually take on?
  • Are you a one-person operator, or a crew?
  • What is the typical project size you handle?
  • How does the process work, from estimate to punch list?
  • What does the budget conversation look like?
  • Can they see real projects you have completed?
  • How do you handle change orders, timelines, and surprises?

Website structure

Pages a contractor website usually needs.

Not every site needs every page. This is the realistic working shape for a contractor site, drawn from what actually produces calls and quote requests.

  1. 01

    Homepage

    One strong project photo, what you actually do, and a clear path to start a project conversation.

  2. 02

    Services

    Whole-home, kitchens, baths, additions, basements. Don't promise everything; be specific.

  3. 03

    Process

    How an estimate, design, build, and punch-list actually work in your shop.

  4. 04

    Past projects

    5 to 12 real projects with photos, location, scope, and what was challenging.

  5. 05

    About

    Who you are, what you trained as, how long you have been doing this, who else is on the crew.

  6. 06

    Reviews

    Real reviews, quoted with attribution. Or a Google embed.

  7. 07

    Start a project

    A short intake form. Not a quote calculator.

Lead capture

What the contractor form should actually ask.

Every form field is a small cost the visitor pays. These are the fields that earn their place for a contractor.

More on quote-request strategy in the resources section.

  • NameRequired, first.
  • EmailMost remodel research happens at 10pm, not on a phone.
  • PhoneOptional, but most owners will fill it.
  • Property city / ZIPPre-qualifies the lead for service area.
  • Project typeKitchen, bath, addition, whole-home, not sure yet. Short select.
  • Rough budget rangeHelps both sides. Not a hard filter; a clarifier.
  • TimelineASAP, 3 to 6 months, 6 to 12 months, exploring. Sets expectations.
  • Short descriptionOne open text field. Where most of the value lives.

Trust signals

What proves you are real to a contractor customer.

These are the things a careful customer scans for before they fill out the form. The site should make them easy to find, in order.

  • Real project photos with location and scope captions
  • Crew or owner photo, not stock
  • Years in business, stated plainly
  • License number and insurance in the footer
  • Process page that admits projects have surprises
  • Reviews quoted with attribution, with permission
  • Honest service area, not 'the whole tri-state region'
  • Membership in real associations only (NARI, NAHB, etc), where applicable

Local SEO basics

How a contractor site earns local visibility.

No tricks. No promises about rankings. These are the simple choices that compound for a contractor site over time.

  • Title tag should read like 'Home remodeling in [City] · [Business Name].' Avoid 'best,' 'top,' 'premier.'
  • Build one page per major project type (kitchens, baths, additions) before adding more service-area pages.
  • Use project pages with city captions to capture long-tail location-plus-type searches naturally.
  • Mirror NAP (name, address, phone) exactly across the site, Google Business Profile, and any directory listings.
  • Add internal links from each project page back to the relevant service page.

Avoid these

Mistakes that quietly kill contractors websites.

Most of these are not bad design. They are decisions made by someone who never sat in a truck cab or treatment room. The fix is usually obvious once you see the list.

  • Trying to look like a national brand instead of a real local crew
  • Promising 'on time, on budget, every time'
  • Stock photos of nice kitchens you did not build
  • Process page that is six bullets and a stock photo
  • No real budget range, anywhere on the site
  • Reviews section with three suspiciously identical testimonials
  • Contact form that asks 14 questions before letting you submit

Recommended package

The right tier for a contractor.

Most contractors land on the same tier, with the same reasoning. Here is why.

Growth Website

From $3,995

Most contractors need a real services section, a process page, a project gallery, and an intake form that respects the homeowner's time. The Growth Website covers that cleanly. Authority is worth considering only if you handle multi-million-dollar custom builds with several active simultaneously.

  • Project gallery with captions
  • Service pages with internal links to projects
  • Real process page, not a six-icon strip
  • Intake form with budget and timeline
  • Reviews section
  • Footer block: license, insurance, associations
  • Analytics + Search Console wired in

FAQ

Questions from contractors we have talked to.

Do you write the project descriptions for me?

We will draft them from a short conversation about each project, and you edit. Most contractors are not writers, and most writers do not know what a punch list is. The drafts give us both a starting point.

Can you set up a budget range on the form?

Yes, but it goes on the intake form, not on the public pages. A site that advertises specific dollar figures usually attracts the wrong leads. The intake form is where the budget conversation actually belongs.

How many projects should be on the site at launch?

Five to eight strong projects is better than twenty thin ones. We can add more after launch through the monthly care plan, as you finish new ones.
