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

Each layout below is a working template our web design team uses as a starting point. The trade name, colors, photos, and content in the demo are replaced with yours before launch. A design built for plumbing works just as well for roofing, HVAC, electrical, or any other trade.

Every design is 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 finished products.



Template 1 - Classic Navy
Template 1 – Classic
Navy and gold header bar, bold left-aligned hero, service icons below the fold. Clean layout built for trust. A strong starting point for any contractor who wants a professional look without distractions.


Template 2 - Dark Green
Template 2 – Dark + Green
Full-bleed dark hero with green accents, service cards below. High contrast, modern look. Works well for newer businesses that want a strong visual identity from day one.


Template 3 - Navy Premium
Template 3 – Navy Premium
Contact bar at top, navy hero with yellow CTA, services with photo and text side by side. Established, authoritative look. Common choice for growing companies that want to project size and experience.


Template 4 - Blue Lead Form
Template 4 – Blue + Lead Form
Hero with an inline booking form visible before the visitor scrolls. High-converting layout for competitive markets where capturing quote requests immediately matters most.


Template 5 - Dark Orange
Template 5 – Dark + Orange
Dark hero with orange accents and four service feature cards below the fold. Works well for trades with a wide service list where showing the range of work up front drives more calls.


Template 6 - Dark Call Back Form
Template 6 – Dark + Call Back Form
Dark hero with a call-back request form alongside the headline. Preferred by businesses that schedule callbacks rather than take online bookings. Strong fit for emergency and fast-response trades.
Any template. Any trade. Your brand.

The demo built 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 replace any stock 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
Why We Do This

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

Most new contractors put early money into tools, trucks, and insurance. A $3,000 to $8,000 website before jobs are steady is a hard case to make. We remove that barrier on purpose.

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 a website would bring in real jobs, and they could not justify the upfront cost while still building the business.

So we removed 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 stays at $199/mo after year one. At that point, most contractors treat it the same as their phone bill or accounting software – just part of running the business.

After year one, the choice is entirely yours.

We earn continued business by delivering results, not by locking contractors into contracts.

Three Barriers We Remove
X
No website yet
Referrals look you up and find nothing. Credibility takes a hit before you even answer the call.
X
Upfront cost feels like a gamble
$2,000 to $8,000 for a website before jobs are consistent is hard to justify early on.
X
No time to build it yourself
Running a contracting business leaves almost no time to write pages, configure hosting, or manage a site.
+
We handle all three
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. Our in-house development team builds each site from scratch for your specific trade, city, and service list. Every element below is included at no cost for the first year.

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. A real business web address, fast servers, and a secure connection – nothing for you to configure or pay for.

Mobile-Ready on All Devices

Designed to load fast and display correctly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Most homeowners searching for a contractor start on a mobile device. Google indexes the mobile version of your site first.

Local SEO Setup

Page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and LocalBusiness schema markup are set up from launch. The schema helps Google categorize your trade type and service radius – which affects where you appear in local map searches.

Google Business Profile Guidance

We walk you through connecting your Google Business Profile to your site. That pairing is what puts your business on the map when customers search your trade and city together.

Live Chat and Chatbot

A chatbot 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 visitors who did not want to call but were ready to book.

Analytics Connected at Launch

Google Analytics is set up before the site goes live. You can see visitor counts, which pages customers read, and where traffic comes from – the data you need to know if the site is actually bringing in business.

SSL Security Certificate

Every site includes SSL – the padlock customers see in the browser. Google treats it as a ranking signal. Customers expect it before submitting a quote request. We also run regular updates to keep the site secure through the year.

Contractor License Number Displayed

Most states require contractors to display their license number on digital advertising and websites. We publish yours at launch so your business is compliant from day one. Customers also verify license numbers before calling on jobs over $1,000.

Field Service Software

Already Using Jobber, Housecall Pro, or Workiz?

Your website and your job management software run independently. The standard setup is simple: a visitor fills out your contact form, you receive an email with their name and job details, and you call them back. If you want leads to land directly in your scheduling software instead, we support that at no extra charge.

Works
Housecall Pro

Provides an embeddable booking widget via a script tag. Paste the code from your dashboard into the contact page and form submissions go straight into your scheduling queue.

Works
Jobber

Jobber’s quote request widget embeds via iframe. Drop it into the contact section and new requests flow straight into your Jobber client hub.

Works
Workiz

Workiz generates an embed code from your booking settings. Copy it, paste it into the contact section, and new leads appear in your Workiz inbox automatically.

Works
mHelpDesk

Supports an embeddable web form connected to your mHelpDesk account. Same setup as Housecall Pro – copy the embed code, paste it in, and leads go straight to your account.

Limited
ServiceFusion / FieldEdge

Basic contact form embedding is possible, but the setup requires manual configuration on their end. Check with your account rep before requesting the integration.

No widget
ServiceTitan

ServiceTitan does not provide a public booking widget for external websites. The standard contact form handles your web leads and you log them in ServiceTitan manually.

Most contractors don’t need the integration

The standard setup works for most smaller contractors: visitor fills out the form, you get an email with their details, you call back and book the job in your software. The direct integration is available for any platform that supports it, and we set it up at no extra charge.

Contact form included on every template
Leads sent to your email and phone via SMS
Housecall Pro, Jobber, and Workiz embed supported at no extra charge
A Facebook Page Is Not a Business Website

What a Dedicated Website Does That a Facebook Page Cannot

A Facebook page is a reasonable starting point. A professional website on your own domain is a different asset entirely. The gap matters most when a high-value homeowner is deciding whether to call you.

Google Cannot Rank a Facebook Page for Local Service Searches

When a homeowner 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 into the local map pack.

You Control What Customers See

Facebook controls the layout, what appears first, and which ads sit next to your content. On your own website, the customer sees your services, phone number, and license number – nothing competing for their attention before they reach your contact form.

Trust Signals on High-Ticket Jobs

A homeowner choosing between two contractors for a $4,000 job treats a professional website as proof the business is real and established. A Facebook page alone, especially for a newer company, raises questions a real website answers immediately.

Visibility You Own Outright

Facebook has changed its reach and algorithm repeatedly. A business built on a platform it does not own is exposed to every one of those changes. A website is yours. No platform decides whether customers can find your services or your phone number.

Why This Matters

Skilled Contractors Lose Jobs Every Week Because Customers Cannot Find Them Online

When a homeowner looks up a contractor after receiving a card or a referral, the first action is a name search. No website, no professional presence, and the call goes to whoever looks more established.

A site that has been live for 12 months is building the ranking history that feeds local search visibility. Every month without one is a month a competitor who started earlier pulls further ahead. That compounding effect shows up in calls you never knew you lost.

Beyond rankings, a website is where customers verify that your business is real before handing over their phone number or letting someone into their home. Without a professional site, that verification fails and the customer moves to the next contractor on their list.

Speed to lead decides who books the job:

When a homeowner submits a contact form, they are typically contacting 2-3 contractors at the same time. The first one to respond books the job most of the time. Our sites route form submissions to your phone via SMS the moment they arrive.

What contractors say 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 Build Websites for Home Service Contractors. Not General Websites.

There is a real difference between a team that has built websites for hundreds of different industries and one that has spent over a decade focused specifically on contractors. Every decision we make about page structure, keyword selection, and conversion layout comes from that specific experience.

Built to convert calls, not win design awards

Every page is built around one outcome: getting the customer to call or submit a form. Button placement, content hierarchy, and mobile layout all serve that goal. Click-to-call buttons are placed in the thumb zone of a phone screen because that is where contractors actually get calls from mobile visitors.

Working with contractors since 2011

HVAC, electrical, roofing, plumbing, flooring, painting, handyman – we have built and managed websites for contractors across all of these trades for over a decade. We know what each trade’s customers search for, what they need to see before calling, and what makes them leave without contacting anyone.

LSA-ready structure from launch

Google Local Services Ads use your website’s landing page quality score to determine your cost per lead. We build with that in mind so you are not rebuilding the site later if you decide to run LSAs. The page structure supports it from day one.

All work done in-house

Every page is built by our team. No third-party developers, no offshore contractors, no auto-generated pages reviewed by no one. You work with the same people from the first call through launch and beyond. The quality stays consistent because the same hands touch every build.

Optimized for Core Web Vitals from launch

Google uses Core Web Vitals – speed, interactivity, and layout stability – as ranking signals. A site that takes more than 3 seconds to load on mobile loses a third of visitors before they read a word. We run performance tests before launch so the technical foundation does not undercut your search rankings.

CCPA and TCPA-compliant contact forms

Our contact forms include the disclosures required under California’s CCPA and the federal TCPA for automated callbacks and SMS. Most Wix and Squarespace forms do not include these. We handle it at launch so your business is covered before the first lead arrives.

How the Business Model Works

This Is a Long-Term 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 generates calls six months later.

Our model works differently. We invest in the build upfront because we are planning for a long-term relationship. After year one, when the website is live and integrated into how your business operates, the monthly fee is a small and predictable cost. Most contractors at that stage treat it the same as their phone bill or accounting software.

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

“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.
Year 3+ – Growth When You Are Ready
Contractors who want to go further can add deeper SEO, Google Ads, review management, or city pages. None of this is required – it is available when your business is ready.
Who This Is For

Operating without a professional website right now
Relying on referrals or Angi but not Google organic search
Not ready to spend thousands on marketing upfront
Building a legitimate contracting business over time
Likely not the right fit:
Already have a well-built site with active SEO campaigns
Multi-location business that needs an enterprise build
Looking for dozens of pages and complex integrations from day one

What We Need From You

To Build Your Website, We Need a Few Basic Details About Your Business

Business name and contact phone number
Trade or service type (HVAC, electrical, roofing, etc.)
List of specific services you offer
Cities and ZIP codes you serve
Business email for contact form routing
Photos of your work, truck, or team (optional but recommended)
Contractor License Number – Required by State Law

California’s Business and Professions Code Section 7030 requires licensed contractors to display their license number on their website and in all digital advertising. The requirement covers HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and general contracting. Most other states have similar rules.

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

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-ready design, local SEO setup, Google Business Profile guidance, live chat, SSL, analytics, and license number display – at no cost to you.

Are there hidden fees?

No. Year one has no cost. After 12 months, if you continue, the fee 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. 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.

Is the site built on a proprietary platform?

No. We build on WordPress, the open-source platform that powers a large share of websites worldwide. The code, database, and content are portable. If you ever want to 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 compress them for fast mobile loading without losing the detail that shows the quality of your work.

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

Yes, and we recommend it. A professional email on your domain looks more credible to customers than a Gmail address. Contact form submissions route to your phone via SMS so you see every lead the moment it arrives.

Is the quality of the website actually good?

The live previews above show exactly what the design quality looks like. These are not generic templates filled in with your name. Each site is built for a specific trade with page structure and content built around how that trade’s customers make buying decisions.

Is my site protected from hackers?

Every site includes SSL encryption and 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 their revenue model ends at delivery. Our model depends on long-term relationships with contractors whose businesses grow over time. The economics work on what follows year one, not on year one itself.

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 local SEO setup and a connected Google Business Profile provides the foundation to appear 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 any technical knowledge?

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.
