Why It Matters
A Website That Matches the Quality of Your Work
Most contractors grow by referral — and that's great. But every one of those referrals Googles you before they call. If your website doesn't match the quality of your work, you're losing jobs you already earned.
I build contractor websites that do two things well: they make you look legitimate when someone follows up on a referral, and they rank in local search so new customers find you without a referral at all. Every site is built on WordPress, fully owned by you, and handed off with everything you need to manage it yourself.
⚡Fast Load Speed
Fast sites rank higher and convert better. I optimize every site for performance from day one.
📱Mobile-First
Most local searches happen on phones. Your site will work perfectly on every device.
🔑You Own Everything
No platform fees. No monthly lock-in. Your domain, your WordPress site, your content — yours.
Website Build Pricing
Two Tiers. Straightforward Pricing. No Discovery Calls Just to Get a Number.
I publish prices because contractors deserve to know what they're getting into before they get on a call.

How It Works
How I Build Your Site
01
Free 20-Minute Call
I confirm scope, ask the right questions, and give you a straight price — before any agreement is signed.
02
Intake & Strategy
You complete two intake forms covering your business, brand, services, target cities, and goals. I use this to build your site structure and keyword map before a single page is designed.
03
Build on Staging
I build your full site on a staging URL. You review it, submit consolidated feedback, and I make revisions — two rounds included in every build.
04
Launch & Handoff
Final payment → site goes live → I hand you a complete packet with login credentials, a site map, and instructions for managing your site going forward. You own it outright.
The Website Is the Foundation. The Retainer Is How You Keep Growing.
A well-built site is a strong start — but local SEO is ongoing. Google rewards businesses that stay active: new reviews, updated content, GBP posts, and consistent citations. Contractors who hire me for the retainer after launch are the ones whose rankings keep moving up over time.
The monthly retainer ($497/mo) includes Google Business Profile management, monthly rank tracking and reporting, plugin and theme updates, and on-page content updates — plus full market exclusivity in your trade category. Month-to-month. No long-term contract.
