Contractor websites
Website Design for Contractors
Your finished projects do the selling before the site visit.
Last updated
Social Agencies designs and builds websites for general contractors, remodelers and construction companies across the United States. Each site leads with finished projects grouped by job type, shows your license, bond and insurance, lists references and the areas you build in, and asks about the project before you drive out.
The pages
What should a website for contractors include?
-
Home
Your best finished project, your license and a clear way to inquire.
-
Projects
Finished work grouped by type: new homes, additions, remodels, commercial.
-
Services
One page for each type of work, so each can be found in search.
-
Credentials
License number, bond, insurance and how you handle permits and inspections.
-
Areas
The cities and towns you actually build in, named.
-
Inquiry
A form that asks the kind of work, budget, timing and photos of the space.
Listing or website
A directory listing versus your own website
| Directory listing | Your own website | |
|---|---|---|
| What sits beside your work | Other contractors | Only your projects |
| How many projects you can show | A few photos | Every finished job, grouped by type |
| Who the inquiry goes to | Often several companies | You alone |
| What happens when you stop paying | The listing goes | The site and the inquiry list stay |
Filter before you drive
How do I stop driving out to bid for tire kickers?
The inquiry form asks for the kind of work, a rough budget, the timeline and photos of the space.
A homeowner who fills that in is serious, and you arrive knowing the job. One who will not is someone to call first instead of driving out to.
Adding projects
A new project goes up without calling anyone
Adding a finished job should be something you can do yourself. Small changes are covered by the monthly support, sent by email.
The Social Agencies method
How does working with Social Agencies work?
- 01
Discover
A short call about your business, where inquiries come from today and where they get lost.
- 02
Plan and quote
A written plan and a fixed, itemized quote. Nothing starts until you agree to it.
- 03
Build
You get a live preview link from early on and watch it take shape, instead of waiting for a reveal.
- 04
Launch and grow
It goes live on accounts in your name, then we host, support and keep improving it every month.
Frequently asked questions
What do you need from me to start?
Your license number, bond and insurance details, the types of work you do, the areas you build in, your logo and photos of finished projects. References from past clients who agree to be contacted help a great deal.
Do you use stock photos of houses?
No. A website for contractors is only as convincing as its real work, so Social Agencies uses your own project photos and tells you what to shoot on current jobs.
Can the site cover both residential and commercial work?
Yes. Residential clients see finished homes and your license details, while commercial clients see a capability statement with your license, bonding, insurance and completed projects.
How long does a contractor website take?
Usually three to four weeks once Social Agencies has your projects, photos and license details. You watch it take shape on a preview link, and the clock pauses while anything needed from you is outstanding.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain and the site are registered to your company, and nothing is held back if you ever leave.
