Home Service Web Design
Your first website, built to book jobs.
You have been running on referrals and word of mouth. That works until it does not. I build home service websites from scratch. No templates, no guesswork, no tech skills needed.
The Problem
Why running without a website costs you jobs.
Word of mouth has a ceiling
Referrals keep the lights on, but they do not scale. When a homeowner searches "plumber near me" and you are not there, that job goes to whoever is. Every day without a site is a day you are invisible to new customers.
Social media is not a website
A Facebook page is not something you own. It does not rank on Google, it does not have your phone number in the right place, and the algorithm can bury you whenever it wants. You need ground you control.
Starting from scratch feels overwhelming
You know you need a site. You do not know where to start, who to trust, or how much it should cost. So you put it off another month and another batch of leads goes to the contractor who showed up online first.
The Standard
What your first website needs.
Not bells and whistles. Just the things that get a homeowner to pick up the phone and call you.
A homepage that says what you do
Your trade, your service area, your phone number. A homeowner should know all three within five seconds of landing on your site. No guessing, no scrolling.
Click-to-call on every phone
More than half your visitors will come from a phone. One tap to call you. That is the whole point. If it takes two clicks, you have already lost some of them.
Service pages that rank on Google
Each service gets its own page with real descriptions and local keywords. "AC repair Denver" not "our services." Better for homeowners and better for search.
Trust built in from the start
Reviews, certifications, years in business, service area. All visible within the first scroll. Homeowners decide fast. Give them a reason to pick you.
A contact form that sends you leads
Not a generic "message us" box. A form that captures what the customer needs, sends you an instant notification, and makes follow-up easy.
Speed that does not lose visitors
Clean code, no bloat, loads in under three seconds. Half of mobile visitors leave if a site takes longer than that. Yours will not have that problem.
The Process
How I build your first website.
No tech skills needed. No decisions to agonize over. Three steps.
Tell me about your trade
What services do you offer? Where do you work? What makes you different? A short call gets me everything I need to start building.
I build a live preview
I design your site from scratch with real copy, real structure, mobile-ready. You get a clickable preview to test on your phone before you spend anything.
You launch when you are ready
Love it? We put it on your domain and you are live. Not sure? Take your time. No deposit, no pressure, no follow-up guilt trip.
Specializations
I build sites for these trades.
What You Get
What lands in your inbox before you pay anything.
Three things. You keep all of them whether you hire me or not.
Custom site preview
A full homepage and service pages built for your trade. Not a mockup, not a template. Real pages you can click through on your phone and share with your team.
Professional copy
Headlines, service descriptions, and calls to action written for your industry. No filler text, no blank placeholders. Real words that make homeowners pick up the phone.
Honest conversation
A short call where I walk you through the design and answer your questions. No pitch deck, no pressure. If it is not right for you, I will say so.
Who Builds It
Not an agency. One builder.
I have built over 200 websites for home service contractors. Most of my clients came to me with no site at all. Just a truck, a phone number, and a reputation they had earned the hard way. I give that reputation a home online.

FAQ
First website questions, answered.
-
(Q1)
I have never had a website. Is it too late to start?
No. Most of my clients come to me with no online presence at all. The best time to build a site was five years ago. The second best time is now. Your competitors who are showing up on Google started somewhere too.
-
(Q2)
How much does a website cost?
Plans from $1,497 build + $79/mo. That covers custom design, professional copy, mobile layout, speed optimization, and SEO setup. No hidden fees, no monthly lock-in. You see the site before you pay anything.
-
(Q3)
Do I need to provide content or photos?
No. I write the copy, source the images, and handle the structure. If you have photos of your work, great, I will use them. If not, I work with what we have. You do not need to bring anything except a description of your trade and your service area.
-
(Q4)
Can I really see the site before I pay?
Yes. I build a full, live, clickable preview. You test it on your phone, share it with your team. You only pay if you want to launch it. No deposit required.
-
(Q5)
Will my site show up on Google?
I build every site with proper SEO structure: title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, local keywords. Your site will be set up to rank from day one. SEO results take time, but the foundation will be there.
-
(Q6)
How long does it take to go live?
Most previews are ready within 48 hours. Once you approve, the site goes live on your domain within another 48 hours. Start to finish is usually under a week.
Stop losing jobs to contractors with a website.
Tell me about your trade. I will build a free preview of what your site could look like. Plans from $1,497 build + $79/mo if you love it.
