How Much Should a Contractor Website Cost?
Contractors get quoted wildly different numbers for what sounds like the same website. The gap usually comes down to scope and overhead rather than quality.
What a contractor site actually needs
The parts that earn their keep are a job gallery, clear service descriptions, a stated service area, and an easy way to request an estimate. Everything else is optional and should be treated that way when you're comparing quotes.
- Gallery organised by job type
- Service pages in plain language
- Counties and towns you cover
- Short estimate request form
- Tap-to-call and tap-to-text
- Fast mobile pages
Extras that often aren't worth it
Custom quoting calculators sound useful and rarely get used, because real estimates depend on a site visit. Booking systems suit salons and clinics more than trades. Video backgrounds slow the page down. Blogs only pay off if someone actually writes them.
None of these are bad in themselves — they're just frequently sold to contractors who won't get value from them.
A reasonable range
A compact, properly built contractor site does not need to run into thousands. Ours start at $299, with redesigns from $699. What should raise a flag is either extreme: a price so low it implies a template with no thought behind it, or a price so high it clearly includes services you didn't ask for.
Ask for the scope in writing. If a quote won't say how many pages, how many revisions, and who owns the result, the number itself doesn't mean much.
