Website design for general contractors that passes the homeowner's check

Website design for general contractors has to win trust before the first call. We build sites that sort your jobs by type, show your license and insurance in plain words, and name the person who runs each project. A short estimate form collects the job type, timing and budget, so you know which leads are worth the drive.

  • Jobs sorted by typeKitchens, additions, whole-home remodels and commercial work each get a page, so owners find their kind of job fast.
  • A license they can verifyYour number shows on every page, with a link to your state board's lookup tool.
  • A face on each projectWe name the person who runs the job, with a photo and a line on how they keep owners posted.
  • Leads with the detailsThe estimate form asks for job type, timing and budget, so you can sort leads before you drive out.

Why KeyGrow

Why build your contractor site with KeyGrow

Homeowners read contractor sites looking for a reason to say no. We take those reasons off the page.

A homeowner planning a kitchen remodel or an addition checks you out before they call. They want to know if you take jobs like theirs, whether your license checks out and who will be in their house every day. If your site leaves any of that open, they call the next name on the list. You never hear about it.

So we build the site around that check. Finished jobs sit under the kind of work they were, with the scope, the size and the weeks it took. Your license number sits at the bottom of every page, linked to the state lookup. Your project lead has a name and a face.

Most of the work is plain facts placed where people look. Speed does the rest, because a page that stalls on a phone loses the owner before they see your best job.

We check the rules first

Before we write a trust line like 'licensed and insured', we read your state board's ad rules. On a California site, that keeps the word 'bonded' out of the copy.

Job pages from interviews

We ask about real projects: what the owner wanted, what went wrong and how you fixed it. Then we write it so it sounds like you.

Proof from a trade rebuild

Our closest work is for trades. Easy Cleanouts, a junk removal company, saw 180% more lead form submissions in the 8 weeks after our redesign.

Booked solid? We will say so

If referrals keep your calendar full, a few pages and your license may be all you need. We will tell you before you spend more.

Industry guide

What homeowners check before they hire you

State boards and the FTC tell homeowners what to check before they hire. Here are four of those checks and the change each one makes to your site. Rules differ by state, so we read yours first.

Your license number belongs in your ads

California's Contractors State License Board says licensed contractors must include their license number in all forms of advertising. Its guide counts any website that asks for work. A first offense carries a civil penalty of $100 to $1,000.

What it means for your siteYour number sits in the footer of every page, linked to your board's license lookup. We check your own state's rule before launch.

'Bonded' can be the wrong word

The same CSLB guide says California law bars contractors from advertising their bond. The worry is that a buyer will think the bond protects them more than it does.

What it means for your siteWe never paste 'licensed, bonded and insured' onto a site by habit. We write the trust line your state allows and back it with your license number.

Homeowners ask for proof of insurance

FTC advice from July 2022 tells homeowners to consider only licensed and insured contractors. It also says to confirm the license with the state or county and to ask for proof of insurance.

What it means for your siteYour site names the coverage you carry, such as general liability and workers comp, and says you will send a certificate when asked.

Source: FTC consumer advice

Estimates get compared line by line

The same FTC page tells homeowners to get several estimates. It says a written estimate should include the work, the materials, a completion date and the price.

What it means for your siteYour estimate page says what your written estimate covers and how many days it takes. A homeowner holding three bids can see yours will be complete.

What you get

What every contractor site comes with

Five parts, and a homeowner looks for every one of them.

A page per job type

One page for each kind of work you want more of, written in the words owners search with, like "kitchen remodel" or "home addition".

Project pages with real detail

Each featured job lists the scope, the square footage, the timeline and photos from before, during and after.

Credentials in plain view

License number and the kinds of insurance you carry, placed in the footer and again next to the estimate form.

An estimate form that sorts leads

It asks for job type, ZIP code, start date and budget range. You read a lead and know at once if it fits.

Photos that load on a weak signal

We size every image for phones, so your work still shows up in a basement or a driveway. Our target is a page load under two seconds.

How it works

How we build a contractor site

Five steps. Your biggest job is the first one, telling us about the work you want more of.

Checklist

Before launch, check your site for these

Seven things a careful homeowner looks for on a contractor site. Count how many yours shows today.

  • Your license number on every pageIn the footer, linked to the state lookup, so nobody has to email you for it.
  • The coverage you carryName the insurance types, and offer to send a certificate.
  • A page for each job typeOnly the work you want more of. Skip the long list of everything you have ever done.
  • Scope and size on featured jobsSquare footage, what changed and how many weeks it took, right next to the photos.
  • Who runs the jobA name and a photo for the project lead, plus how often owners hear from them.
  • What your estimate includesSay what the written estimate covers and when it arrives.
  • Reviews matched to the workPut kitchen reviews on the kitchen page. Someone planning a kitchen wants to hear from other kitchen clients.

FAQ

Website design for general contractors FAQ

The questions a contractor should ask before paying for a site, answered straight. Still curious? Email sales@keygrow.co.

It depends on how many job types get their own page. Up to six pages costs $1,400, paid once. A contractor with many job types and a projects section needs a bigger site at $2,800. Copywriting and a WordPress build come with both.

On every page, usually in the footer. In California, the state board says contractors must put the number on all advertising, and its guide counts websites. Other states set their own rules, so we check yours. The FTC also tells homeowners to verify a license, so make that easy.

It depends on your state. California's board says the law bars contractors from advertising their bond. We read your state's rules first and write a trust line that fits them.

Group them by job type, then give your best jobs their own page. List the scope, the size, the timeline and a few photos from each stage. A homeowner can then hold their plan up against a job you finished.

Not exact prices. Budget ranges from past jobs can help, if you are comfortable sharing them. A range lets an owner see if they fit before they call, which saves you trips to jobs that were never going to happen.

Job type, the ZIP code, when they want to start and a budget range. Add a photo upload for remodels. We keep it to five fields or fewer, so it stays quick to fill out on a phone.

Yes, if you want commercial jobs. A property manager asks about schedules, safety records and keeping tenants open, not tile choices. A page for each buyer keeps both messages clear.

Most take six to eight weeks. Your job details set the pace, so the sooner we get photos and notes on a few projects, the sooner you launch.

Yes. Each project uses the same WordPress template, with boxes for scope, size, timeline and photos. Fill them in and the job appears under the right type. We train you on it before launch.

Yes. Owners want to know who will actually be in their home. A name, a photo and a line on how often that person sends updates answer the question before it turns into a doubt.

Phone photos work if they are sharp and well lit. Shots from before and during a job help as much as the finished room, because they show how you work.
