Contractor websites that bring in quote requests.
For plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, HVAC and renovation companies. We write and build your website around your real jobs and the areas you cover, you look at it live on your phone, and the one-page website is $500 only if you keep it.
What a contractor's website has to do.
Most people on a trade's website have a problem right now and are comparing two or three companies. The page has to answer them before they go back to the search results.
Say what you do and where, on the first screen
Your trade, the towns or neighbourhoods you cover, and a phone number, before anyone scrolls. Someone with a leaking water heater wants to know in two seconds whether you come to their part of town.
Make the quote request easy
A short form that asks for what you need to price the job: where it is, what the work is, and how to reach them. It lands in your inbox, and the phone number is one tap away for anyone who would rather call.
Show real jobs
Photos of your own work beat any stock picture. A few before and after shots of jobs you are proud of, with the town and what was done, say more than a paragraph about quality.
Put licences and insurance where people hesitate
If your trade is licensed, say so, with the number. In Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority says a licensed electrical contractor's ECRA/ESA licence number must be on their website, ads and vehicles. Insurance, WSIB coverage and warranties belong next to the quote button.
Work on a phone in a driveway
People look you up on their phone, often standing next to the problem. Big tap targets, a call button that stays in reach, and a page that loads fast on mobile data.
Match your Google Business Profile
The same business name, phone number and service areas on your site and your profile, so customers and Google see one consistent business. Our Google Business Profile guide walks through the setup.
Answer the questions you get on every call
Do you charge for estimates? Do you take small jobs? How soon can you come? Answering them on the page filters out poor fits and warms up the good ones.
Your page, top to bottom.
A typical one-page contractor website. We adjust it to your trade and how your work comes in.
- First screen
- Your trade, your areas, a call button and a request-a-quote button.
- Services
- What you do and what you don't, in plain words, so the wrong jobs filter themselves out.
- Recent work
- Your own job photos, with the town and the work done.
- Why people pick you
- Licence number, insurance, warranty, how long the crew has worked together. Only what is true and you can show.
- Reviews
- Real reviews from your Google profile, quoted word for word, with a link to the rest.
- How a job works
- From the first call to cleanup, in four or five plain steps.
- Service area
- The towns and neighbourhoods you cover, written out in text.
- Quote request
- The form, the phone number, your hours and how fast you reply.
From your details to a finished page.
What you send
Your business name, your trade, the areas you cover, your phone number, a handful of job photos and any reviews you have. About ten minutes, by message or email.
What you get
A finished one-page website with the words written, your photos placed and the phone version checked, sent as a live link. Usually ready to review within 3 business days of getting your details and content.
Then you decide
Keep it and the one-page website is $500, then we connect your address and it goes live. Pass, and there is nothing to pay. No call, no chasing.
What it costs.
- A one-page website is $500 CAD, one time. No deposit. You review it finished, then pay once you approve it, before it goes live.
- A website of up to 8 pages is $2,500 CAD. You see a finished one-page demo first, then a 50% deposit starts the full build and the balance is due at launch. Bigger sites are quoted up front.
- Care is $79 CAD a month, or $790 a year, for hosting, security updates and everyday edits. Optional.
- You own it. Once it is paid, the site, its code and your domain are yours.
Most trades fit on one page. If you offer several distinct services that people search for separately, like drains, water heaters and renovations, the website of up to 8 pages gives each one its own page.
Questions
How much does a website cost for a contractor?
With PageCove, a one-page website is $500 and a website of up to 8 pages is $2,500, and you see the finished page before you pay. Our website cost guide shows what other Canadian options cost.
Do I need more than one page?
Most trades do well with one strong page: what you do, where, proof, and a way to ask for a quote. A website of up to 8 pages makes sense when you offer several distinct services that people search for separately.
Can customers ask for a quote from the site?
Yes. The form goes straight to your inbox, and your phone number is a tap away on every screen.
Will a website get me on Google Maps?
Map listings come from your Google Business Profile, not your website. The two work together: the profile gets you into the map results, and the website is where people decide. Our Google Business Profile guide covers the setup.
What if I don't have good photos?
Phone photos of real jobs are fine, and better than stock pictures. Send what you have and we use the strongest.
Do I have to show my licence number?
It depends on your trade and province. In Ontario, the Electrical Safety Authority requires licensed electrical contractors to show their ECRA/ESA licence number on their website. If your trade has a rule like that, tell us and it goes on the page.
Who owns the website?
You do, once it is paid: the site, its code and your domain.
