Word of mouth built your business. This multiplies it.
Builders and renovators win work on proof: finished projects, happy clients, and a reputation that precedes the quote. The problem is that proof trapped in a phone's camera roll doesn't win anything. Getting it in front of the homeowner searching "kitchen renovation ottawa" does.
We build portfolio-first websites where your projects do the selling, set up review engines that turn happy clients into permanent reputation, and tune your local search presence so the neighbourhoods you want to work in can actually find you — with campaigns timed to renovation season, not fighting it.

How a contractor website project runs
-
1
Discovery call
The jobs you want more of, the areas you want to work in and what you have to show for it. You get a fixed quote in writing before anything starts.
-
2
Your projects
You send photos of finished work — phone photos are fine. We sort them into galleries by type of job and write the short story behind each one.
-
3
Design, build, review
A mobile-first site built on a staging address, with the quote-request form wired up. You approve the real site before it goes live.
-
4
Launch and after
We launch, test the forms and the tracking, and submit the site to Google. New projects can be added as you finish them.
What a contractor's website should show
A homeowner comparing three contractors is looking for proof. The site is built to put it in front of them:
- Project galleries grouped by type of job, with before and after where you have it
- The services you offer and the areas you work in, each on its own page
- Your licences, insurance and warranty — HCRA licensing and Tarion coverage for new-home builders
- Your Google reviews, linked so they can be read in full
- A quote-request form that asks the questions you need answered before you call back
- Click-to-call on every page, because most visitors are on a phone
Built to bring quote requests
Renovations and builds are considered purchases: people collect several quotes and decide over weeks. The site's job is to get you onto that shortlist and make asking for a quote effortless, and the follow-up is set up for that pace.
Found in the neighbourhoods you want to work in
Contractors are chosen locally. The map results decide most searches like "kitchen renovation" or "deck builder" with a neighbourhood attached, and they go to businesses with a complete Google Business Profile and a steady flow of genuine reviews. The website supports that with a page for each area you serve — Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orléans, Manotick — written for that place.
Common questions
How much does a contractor website cost?
Our prices are published. A small-business website starts at $499.99 plus HST and a redesign of an existing site at $699.99; a site with many project galleries or service-area pages is quoted in writing before we start. Hosting and care plans start at $12.99 a month.
We only have phone photos of our jobs. Is that enough?
Yes. Clear phone photos of real finished work beat stock images every time. We show you a simple before, during and after routine so every future job adds to the site.
How long does a contractor website take to build?
Most sites launch within a few weeks of kickoff. The biggest variable is how quickly the project photos and details come together; the quote sets out the timeline.
Who owns the website and the domain afterwards?
You do. The site, the domain, the Google accounts and the content are yours, with no long-term contract. If you move on, everything goes with you.
Most of our work comes from referrals. Is a website worth it?
Referrals don't skip your website — they check it. A referred homeowner who finds an outdated site or no reviews quietly gets a second quote; one who finds a gallery of exactly their project type calls with half the decision made. The site's job is converting the reputation you already earned.
What should a builder's website actually show?
Projects, projects, projects — organized by type, with real photography and enough detail to let homeowners picture their own job. Then trust signals: reviews, licensing (HCRA) and warranty (Tarion) where applicable, service areas, and a quote request that doesn't demand a novel. Awards and stock photos convince no one.
Do you build websites for individual trades, such as roofers, painters and electricians?
Yes. The same portfolio-first approach works for any trade: your finished jobs, the services and areas you cover, your reviews and a quote request that reaches your phone. We built a bilingual website for a painting and drywall contractor this way.
Who makes changes to the website after it is live?
We do. Small changes, such as uploading photos of finished jobs or small edits to the wording, are part of the first year of support when we build and host your website. For sites that change often, the Business Care plan at $20.99 a month includes up to an hour of content changes.
When should a contractor advertise — spring rush or off-season?
Earlier than instinct says. Homeowners research big projects months before committing — winter planning becomes spring contracts. Advertising when your competitors' phones are quiet costs less per click and catches decisions while they're still open. We plan campaigns around that research season.
