Websites for the trades

We build it first. Then you decide.

Most contractors never get a website because the process is the problem, not the price. So we removed the process. We build yours, send you a link, and you pay only if you want to keep it.

No discovery call. No proposal. No retainer. Ten minutes on the phone, a live link in a few days, and an honest answer either way.

We build for one industry, not everybody

We know the work

Trades are all we do. So we already know what your customers ask before they hire you, why a license number belongs above the fold, and why a stock photo of a smiling man in a clean hard hat makes you look less real instead of more.

You own everything

The domain is registered in your name from day one. The site is yours on final payment. Fire us tomorrow and you take all of it with you, no hostage situations and no export fee.

We do not oversell

We will not promise you a page one ranking, a lead volume, or a revenue number, because nobody honestly can. We build the site so Google reads it correctly and we tell you the truth about the rest.

What you get

A site that does the one job it has

Somebody got your name from a neighbor, typed it into their phone, and needs to see in about four seconds that you are real, licensed, and worth calling. Everything we build serves that moment.

Built for a phone first

Most of your traffic is somebody standing in a flooded utility room. Your number is a tap away on every screen, and the page loads before they lose patience.

Found in your own city

Local search markup, a page per service, and your Google Business Profile set up or cleaned up so the listing and the site agree with each other.

Quote requests to your inbox

A form that actually delivers, tested monthly, going straight to the email you already read. No portal, no app, no login to remember.

Your license, front and center

License number, insurance, years in business, service area. The things a property manager checks before they call, verified before we publish them.

Your real reviews

Pulled word for word from your Google profile. We do not write testimonials and we will not invent one, which is the only reason yours will be worth reading.

Photos of your actual work

Whatever is already on your phone. Trucks, crews, finished jobs. Real photos of real work beat stock photography every single time in this business.

Process

One week, four steps

Designed around the fact that you are on a jobsite and have no interest in managing a web project.

STEP 01

Ten minute call

What you do, where you work, what you want the phone ringing about. No questionnaire, no workshop.

STEP 02

We build it

A live link in two or three days. Your name, your services, your service area, your photos.

STEP 03

You mark it up

Text or call with whatever is wrong. Two rounds of revisions are included and we have never hit the limit.

STEP 04

Pay and go live

Only now does money change hands. We point the domain, connect the form, and submit you to Google.

The care plan is optional and it is not a contract. Skip it and the site is still yours, still on your domain, and you can move it or hand it to another developer whenever you want. What the plan buys you is not access, it is not having to think about it: you text us the change and it is done before you are off the jobsite.

Talk it through
Who we work with

Trades first, because that is what we know

If your work comes from referrals and word of mouth, a website is not about looking flashy. It is about the person who already heard you are good and needs to confirm you exist before they dial.

Not a contractor? We take on small service businesses outside construction too, when the fit is right. Ask.

Why we exist

The gap we kept noticing

Good crews lose work every week because somebody heard their name, searched it, and found nothing at all. Not a bad website. Nothing. The fix costs less than one service call, and almost nobody in the trades ever gets around to it. So we made getting around to it somebody else's problem.

Straight answers

The questions everybody asks

Why would you build it before I pay you?

Because explaining a website to somebody who does not want one wastes both our time, and building you one takes an afternoon. If you like it, you pay. If you do not, we lost an afternoon and you lost nothing. It is the same reason you would rather walk a job than talk about it on the phone.

I already have a Facebook page. Is that not enough?

It is better than nothing and you should keep it. But a Facebook page does not show up when somebody searches your trade plus your city, and it makes a property manager or a commercial account think twice. If you only ever want residential referral work, Facebook may honestly be fine, and we will tell you that rather than sell you something.

Can I edit it myself later?

Two separate answers, and we would rather be straight with you on both. Are you stuck with us? No. You own the files and the domain, it is standard code on standard hosting, and any developer can pick it up tomorrow. Can you click into it and change the text yourself? Not out of the box. Your site is hand built rather than assembled in a page builder, which is why it loads instantly and costs what it does, and hand built code has no login screen. We can add a simple edit-in-the-browser panel if you want one, which takes us a few hours and gets quoted separately. Almost nobody asks. Texting us the change is faster than logging into anything, and on the care plan it is already paid for.

What do you need from me?

Your license number, your service area, your phone number, and whatever job photos are already on your phone. If you have a logo, send it. If you do not, we will make you one. Total time on your end is about twenty minutes.

Do you run ads or do SEO?

We set the site up so search engines read it properly and we get your Google Business Profile in order, which is most of what actually matters for a local trade. We do not run ad campaigns and we will not promise you rankings, because anyone who does is guessing.

Is there sales tax on this?

Yes. Texas treats website design and hosting as a taxable data processing service, where eighty percent of the charge is taxable and twenty percent is exempt. It shows as its own line on your invoice so you can see exactly what it is.

What if I need it in a hurry?

Tell us. We have turned a site around in 48 hours for somebody with a bid due. There is no rush fee.
