Why We Do This

We Build Your Website First. You Decide What Comes Next.

Most new contractors spend early money on tools, trucks, and insurance. A $3,000 to $8,000 website before the jobs are steady is a hard sell. We remove that barrier on purpose. By providing a professional free company website for your first year, we allow you to allocate your startup capital toward high-quality equipment and overhead while we handle the digital heavy lifting.

When a new HVAC company, electrical contractor, or roofing crew is getting started, the last thing they want is to spend thousands on a website before they know it will pay off. That hesitation is reasonable. Most contractors who come to us were not sure if a website would bring in real jobs – and they could not justify the upfront cost while still building the business.

So we decided to remove that decision entirely. We build the website, write the content, set up hosting, connect the domain, handle the SEO setup, install live chat, and guide you through your Google Business Profile – free for the first year.

After 12 months, the choice is entirely yours. No pressure, no obligation, no contract. If you decide not to continue, that is completely fine. If the site has been working and you want to keep it running, it continues at $199/month – a cost that by that point is typically a small line item compared to the jobs the site has helped bring in. Most contractors at that stage simply keep going because it makes sense financially.

After year one, the choice is entirely yours.

We do not lock anyone in. The goal was to give you a real start – and if you outgrow us or take a different direction, we understand. We earn continued business by delivering results, not by trapping contractors in contracts.

The Problem We Solve for New Contractors
✕
No website yet
Referrals look you up and find nothing. Credibility takes a hit before you even answer the call.
✕
Upfront cost feels like a gamble
$2,000 to $8,000 for a website before jobs are consistent is hard to justify early on.
✕
No time to build it yourself
Running a contracting business leaves almost no time to write pages, configure hosting, or manage a site.
✓
We remove all three barriers
We build it, write it, host it, and launch it – free for year one. You run your business.
What’s Included

A Complete, Done-for-You Website Built for a Home Service Contractor

This is not a template builder or a placeholder page. While generic platforms might let you create business website pages in an hour, they lack the industry-specific SEO and conversion architecture required to actually book jobs. Everything below is included in the first year at no cost to you, handled entirely by our in-house development team to ensure your digital foundation is built for long-term scalability.

📄
4-5 Pages with Written Content

Home, Services, About, Service Area, and Contact – written by our team based on your trade, city, and services. You do not write a word.

🌐
Domain and Hosting

Domain registration and managed hosting included. Real business web address, fast servers, secure connection – nothing for you to configure.

📱
Mobile-Optimized on All Devices

Designed to load fast and display correctly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most homeowners searching for a contractor are on a mobile device.

🔍
Basic SEO Setup

Page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and local signals set up correctly from the start. We also implement Schema Markup so Google understands your trade type and service radius – increasing your chances of appearing in the local map pack.

📍
Google Business Profile Guidance

We guide you through connecting your Google Business Profile to the website – the pairing that makes your business show up in local map searches when customers search your trade in your city.

💬
Live Chat and Chatbot

A chatbot on your site captures inquiries even when you are on a job. Customers send a message and you get notified by SMS or email – no missed leads from people who did not want to call.

📊
Analytics Installed

Google Analytics is connected at launch. You can see visitor counts, which pages customers read, and where traffic is coming from – the data you need to see if the site is bringing in business.

🔒
SSL Security Certificate

Every site we launch includes SSL – the padlock in the browser. Google requires it for ranking. Customers expect it before submitting a quote request. We also run regular updates to keep the site secure throughout the year.

⚖️
License Number Displayed

In California and most states, contractors are legally required to display their license number on all digital advertising. We publish yours on the site from day one – keeping you compliant and giving customers the verification they look for.

Example Contractor Websites

Six Website Designs. Any Trade. Your Colors and Photos.

Each layout below is a real working template we use as a starting point. The trade name, colors, photos, and content shown in the demo can be swapped for your business. A design shown for plumbing works just as well for roofing, HVAC, electrical, or any other trade.

Every design is fully customized with your company name, trade, service area, phone number, photos, and brand colors before it goes live. The demos below are starting points, not final products.

‘;”>

Template 1 – Classic
Navy and gold header bar, bold left-aligned hero, service icons below the fold. Clean and straightforward layout built for trust.

‘;”>

Template 2 – Dark + Green
Full-bleed dark hero with green accents, service cards below. Bold and modern feel with strong visual contrast.

‘;”>

Template 3 – Navy Premium
Contact info bar at top, navy hero with yellow CTA, services section with photo and text side by side. Established and authoritative look.

‘;”>

Template 4 – Blue + Lead Form
Hero with an inline booking form visible on page load – captures leads before the visitor scrolls. High-converting layout for competitive markets.

‘;”>

Template 5 – Dark + Orange
Very dark hero with orange accents and four service feature cards below. Works well for handyman, plumbing, and trades with a wide service list.

‘;”>

Template 6 – Dark + Call Back Form
Dark hero with a call-back request form alongside the headline. Red-pink accent color and social links in the header. Good for businesses that prefer callbacks over online booking.
Any template. Any trade. Your brand.

The demo shown for plumbing works just as well for roofing, HVAC, electrical, or any other trade. The color scheme, hero photos, and company name are all replaced with yours. Your van photos, crew photos, or job-site photos can replace any image on the site.

✓Trade and service area updated
✓Colors matched to your preference
✓Your photos replace all stock images
✓Content rewritten for your specific trade
Facebook Page vs Your Own Website

A Facebook Page Is Not a Business Website. Here Is the Difference.

Facebook is a reasonable place to start. But as your business grows, the gap between a Facebook page and an actual website becomes a real problem. Unlike a generic free business site builder that provides limited customization and zero ownership, a dedicated domain builds long-term search equity. Social media platforms are “rented land” where algorithm changes can hide your business overnight; a professional site ensures your service area and contact information remain permanently indexed and accessible to high-intent local searches.

Google Cannot Rank a Facebook Page the Same Way

When someone searches “HVAC contractor near me” or “electrician Glendale,” Google surfaces websites. A website with local SEO setup is how your business appears in those results. A Facebook page alone will not get you there.

You Don’t Control What Customers See

Facebook decides the layout, what shows first, and what ads appear alongside your content. On your own website, the customer sees your services, your phone number, and your license number – nothing else competing for their attention.

Credibility Gap on High-Value Jobs

When a homeowner is choosing between two contractors for a $4,000 job, the one with a professional website looks more established. A Facebook page alone – especially for a newer company – can raise questions a real website eliminates immediately.

Facebook Controls Your Visibility

Facebook has changed its reach, algorithm, and page features many times. A business built on a platform it does not own is exposed to those changes. A website is yours – no platform decides whether customers can find your phone number or your services.

Why This Matters

Good Contractors Lose Jobs Every Week Because They Are Invisible Online

When a homeowner looks up a contractor after receiving a card or a referral, the first thing they do is search the name. No website, no professional presence – and the call often goes to someone who looks more established.

A site that has been live for 12 months is already building the history that feeds local rankings. Every month without one is a month a competitor who started earlier pulls further ahead. The compounding effect of waiting is real – and it is felt in the jobs you never knew you lost.

Beyond rankings, a website is where customers verify that your business is legitimate before handing over their phone number or letting someone into their home. Absent a professional site, that verification step fails – and the customer moves to the next contractor on the list.

Speed to lead is the deciding factor:

When a homeowner submits a contact form, they are typically contacting 2-3 contractors. The first one to respond closes the job most of the time. Our sites route form submissions directly to your phone via SMS or email so you know the moment a lead comes in.

What contractors tell us when they apply
“People look me up after I hand them my card and there’s nothing there. I’ve lost jobs because of it.”
HVAC technician, launching new company, Los Angeles
“I built something on Wix but it looks bad and I have no idea if it’s doing anything for me.”
Electrician, 2 years in business, Glendale
“I want to grow but I need to look like a real business first. I can’t keep relying on referrals alone.”
Roofer, new company, San Fernando Valley
“I was starting my plumbing company and needed something professional fast without spending thousands I didn’t have yet.”
Plumber, new company, Burbank
Why Contractors Choose Us

We Specialize in Home Service Businesses. Not General Websites.

There is a difference between a team that has built websites for hundreds of different industries and one that has spent over a decade working specifically with contractors. We are the second one.

Built for lead generation, not brochures

Every page is structured around getting the customer to call or submit a form. Button placement, content hierarchy, and mobile layout are all built for conversion – not aesthetics.

Working with contractors since 2011

HVAC, electrical, roofing, plumbing, flooring, painting, handyman – we have built and managed websites for contractors in all of these trades for over a decade. We know what works for home service businesses specifically.

LSA-ready site structure from the start

If you decide to run Google Local Services Ads (LSA) later, your website provides the landing page experience score that affects your cost per lead. We build with this in mind so you are not starting over if you move to paid ads.

All work done in-house – no outsourced templates

Every page is built by our team. No third-party developers, no offshore contractors, no AI-generated pages left unreviewed. You work with the same people from the first call through launch and beyond.

Performance-optimized, not just designed

We optimize for Core Web Vitals – the speed and stability measurements Google uses as ranking signals. A slow site on a home service search loses visitors before they see your phone number. Fast loading on mobile is a requirement, not an option.

CCPA and TCPA-compliant contact forms

Our contact forms include the required disclosures for California’s CCPA and federal TCPA regulations covering automated callbacks and SMS. This protects you from legal exposure that many DIY builder forms ignore entirely.

Why This Offer Works

This Is a Business Model, Not a Promotion

Traditional agencies charge $3,000 to $8,000 upfront because they need to recover their costs before the project ends. Their model is project-based – build it, invoice it, move on. There is no financial reason for them to care whether the site brings in calls six months later.

Our model is different. We invest in the build upfront because we are planning for a long-term relationship. After year one, when the website is live, working, and integrated into how your business operates, the monthly fee is a small and predictable cost. Most contractors at that stage look at it the same way they look at their phone bill or accounting software – just part of running the business.

We keep the post-year-one rate deliberately low because we know that a contractor whose website is generating calls is not going to shop around for a cheaper option. We earn that continued business by building something that works and charging a fair rate to maintain it.

“We invest in your business first because the contractors who stay with us after year one are the ones whose businesses are growing – and that is the foundation of how this company works.”

What the Relationship Looks Like
Year 1 – We Build, You Launch
Website live. Google Business Profile connected. Analytics running. Content written. License number displayed. Cost: $0.
Year 2 – Completely Your Choice
No obligation. If you continue, the service runs at $199/month – hosting, security, updates, and support. By this point most contractors are seeing calls from the site and the cost is straightforward to justify.
Year 3+ – Growth When You Are Ready
Contractors who want to go further add deeper SEO, Google Ads, review management, or location pages. None of this is required – it is available when your business is ready for it.
Who This Is For

We Prioritize Contractors Who Match This Profile

This program is designed for a specific situation. The contractors who get the most out of it are the ones it was built for. While there is no shortage of tools to launch a generic website for small business owners, most lack the technical scaffolding required to handle high-volume local service requests. This initiative is tailored for tradesmen transitioning from “side-hustle” status to a legitimate enterprise, providing the enterprise-grade speed and security typically reserved for established companies with massive marketing budgets.

Strong fit:
✓Launching a new home service company
✓Operating without a professional website right now
✓Relying on referrals or Angi but not Google organic
✓Not ready to spend thousands on marketing upfront
✓Serious about building a real company over time
Likely not the right fit:
Already have a well-built site and active SEO campaigns
Multi-location business needing an enterprise build
Looking for dozens of pages and complex integrations from day one

📋 Contractor License Number – Required by State Law

In California and most states, contractors are required by law to display their state license number on their website and in all digital advertising. In California, Business and Professions Code Section 7030 makes this a requirement for any contractor doing business online – covering HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and general contracting.

We publish your license number on the site at launch so your business is compliant from day one. Customers also use license numbers to verify contractors before making a decision – especially on jobs over $1,000.

What to have ready: your state contractor license number and the name it is registered under. In California, this is your CSLB license number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight Answers to What Contractors Ask Before Applying

Is the website really free for the first year?

Yes. The first 12 months include 4-5 pages with written content, domain, hosting, mobile-friendly design, basic SEO setup, Google Business Profile guidance, live chat, SSL, analytics, and license number display – at no cost.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Year one has no cost. After 12 months, if you continue, it is $199/month for hosting, security, updates, and support. No setup fees, no required add-ons, no surprise charges.

What happens after the first year?

After 12 months, the choice is completely yours. There is no obligation to continue. If you want to keep the site running, it is $199/month. If you decide not to, that is entirely your call and we respect it. We never pressure anyone to stay.

Is the site built on a proprietary platform?

No. We build on WordPress, the open-source platform used across a large share of websites worldwide. The code, database, and content are portable. If you ever move the site, the files go with you.

Who owns the photos I provide?

Any photos you provide of your crew, truck, or completed jobs are your intellectual property. We optimize them for web performance – compressed for fast mobile loading without losing the detail that shows your work.

Can I use a professional email like info@mybusiness.com?

Yes, and we recommend it. A professional email connected to your domain looks more legitimate to customers than a Gmail address. We help you route contact form submissions directly to your phone via email or SMS so you know the moment a lead comes in.

Is the quality of the website actually good?

The mock-ups above show the design quality. These are not generic templates filled in with your name. Each site is designed for a specific trade with structure and content built around how customers in that trade make buying decisions.

Is my site protected from hackers?

Every site includes SSL encryption and we perform regular updates to core files and plugins. A site that goes down during your busy season costs you real jobs. We handle that maintenance so you do not have to think about it.

Why do you offer this for free?

Traditional agencies charge upfront because they need to recover costs immediately. We invest in the build because our model depends on long-term relationships with contractors whose businesses grow over time. We do not make the economics work on year one – we make them work on what follows.

How long does it take to launch?

Most sites are completed and live within a few weeks after you provide your business details. We send a preview for your review and approval before anything goes public.

Will the site actually bring in customers?

A properly built website with SEO setup and a connected Google Business Profile gives your business the foundation to start appearing in local searches. Results vary by market. Having no professional website guarantees that customers who search your business name or trade find nothing – and that costs you jobs every week.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. We handle the entire technical setup – hosting, domain configuration, SEO, analytics, SSL, and live chat. You tell us about your business. We handle the rest.
