Website design for contractors

A contractor website that
does more than sit there.

Most contractor sites are a brochure with a contact form nobody checks. We build one that catches the lead, answers the phone and hands the job to the system that quotes it.

We build it before you pay. If it is not right, you have lost nothing.

Sound familiar?

The problem was never how it looked.

Four things go wrong with a contractor's website, and none of them are the colour scheme.

It cannot be found for the work you want.

It says “quality craftsmanship since 1998” and nothing about the three things you actually want more of, or the towns you want to work in. So it ranks for your company name and nothing else — and people who already know your name were never the problem.

The enquiry goes into a mailbox.

A form emails you. You are on site. By the time you read it that evening they have called two other people. Speed of reply decides more jobs than price does.

It was built once and then froze.

The agency finished, the retainer ended, and now changing a phone number is a quote. So the site slowly stops matching the business.

It is invisible to the thing people now ask.

Buyers describe the job to an assistant and ask who should do it. If your site cannot tell it what you build and where, you are not one of the names it gives back.

What you get

A website that is part of the business.

Built around your trade, not a template

The pages, the questions the form asks and the words on them come from how your work actually gets sold — not a stock layout with your logo dropped in.

Your own domain, your own site

It stays yours. If you leave, the site and the content go with you and we hand over the domain. No hostage-taking.

The lead lands somewhere

A form on a brochure site sends an email that gets lost. Here the enquiry becomes a lead with a name, a job type and a follow-up — in the same system that quotes and invoices it.

It answers the phone too

An AI receptionist picks up the calls the site generates, texts back, and books the visit while you are on a roof.

Fast, and legible to search

Static pages, real headings, schema markup, a sitemap. It loads on a phone on site data and both Google and the AI assistants can read what you do and where.

No retainer to keep it alive

Changes are part of the subscription. You are not paying an agency by the hour to change a phone number.

How it works

We build it first.
Then you decide.

Nobody can judge a website from a proposal. So we build a working version of yours — your trade, your area, your photos — and send you the link. If it is not right, you have lost nothing but the time it took to read this.

01

A short conversation

What you want more of, where you want it, and what you are tired of explaining.

02

We build the real thing

Not a mockup. A working site at a link you can open on your phone and send to your partner.

03

It goes live on your domain

Or it does not, and we part on good terms. The site is yours either way if you go ahead.

Website design for contractors, builders and trades across Canada

We build websites for general contractors, home builders, remodelers and specialty trades — companies who want the site to bring in work, not to sit in a portfolio. The pages are written around the jobs you want and the areas you serve, which is what people actually type.

Because the site is part of the same system that quotes and schedules, an enquiry does not stop at an email. It becomes a lead with the job type attached, a text back within the minute, and a quote you can send from your phone.

It is built for Canadian construction: HST on progress draws, statutory holdback, WSIB numbers on file. The site is the front door of a business, and the rest of the business is already in the building.

Common questions

How long does a new contractor website take?

We build a working version first, usually within a few days, from your existing site, your photos and a conversation about the work you want more of. You look at the real thing rather than a wireframe, and we change it from there.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The domain, the content and the pages are yours. If you stop working with us you keep the site and we hand over the domain.

What does it cost?

The website is part of the GoBuild subscription rather than a separate project fee, so there is no five-figure build cost and no hourly retainer for changes. Book a demo and we will quote against how you actually run jobs.

Can you rebuild my existing site?

That is the usual case. We take what is working — your photos, your project history, your reviews — and rebuild around how people actually search for the work.

Will it work on a phone?

Most of your traffic is a phone. The pages are built for that first, and for the patchy signal people have when they are standing in the driveway looking at a job.

Already have a site and worried it is invisible to ChatGPT? That is a different problem — we wrote about it here.

before you pay for it.

A short conversation, then a working site at a link. That is the whole ask.
