Almost every construction lead does the same thing before calling: someone gives them your name, and they look you up. We build websites for general contractors, builders, and remodelers that turn that look-up into a call. Portfolio-forward, credibility-heavy, fast on every phone. We manage the whole system month after month. And we build your demo site before you pay a dollar.
Construction doesn't sell like the emergency trades. Projects run five and six figures, timelines run months, and almost every serious lead arrives pre-warmed: a referral, a yard sign on a job they drove past, a name from their architect or lumber supplier. They're not discovering you. They're verifying you.
The verification questions are always the same: Are these people legitimate? Licensed, bonded, insured? Does their work look like what I want? Do they have a process, or is this going to be chaos? A thin or dated website fails those questions silently. The referral never calls, and you never find out why.
And for the leads that do start cold ("home addition contractor near me," "custom home builder," "kitchen remodel"): the shortlist is decided by portfolio, reviews, and map-pack presence before you ever hear about the project. That's a system, and it's exactly what we build.
Project galleries organized by type. Not just photos. Each project gets the story: the scope, the challenge, the result. Photos are what close construction jobs; we make yours do the talking.
License, bond, insurance, years in business, associations, real team photos. The first question every referral silently asks is "are these people for real?" Answered above the fold, with receipts.
A page that walks the client through how a project actually runs: estimate, contract, schedule, communication, punch list. The contractor who explains the process wins the nervous homeowner, and they're all nervous.
Custom homes, additions, kitchen and bath remodels, ADUs, commercial. Each gets its own page matched to its own searches. That's how Google connects you to "home addition contractor near me," and how the right project finds the right gallery.
Cold construction leads start in local search. We optimize and manage your Google Business Profile: categories, project photos, weekly posts, and we structure the website so the two reinforce each other. The site feeds the profile; the profile feeds the phone.
For a six-figure decision, people read every review you have. We run a steady review strategy and present testimonials with project context: what was built, where, and how it went, because that's what a verifier is looking for.
License, bond, insurance, and years in business. Visible immediately, not buried on an about page.
Your best projects, big, organized, and recent. If the last photo is from 2019, the lead assumes the business is too.
Estimates, timelines, communication, change orders. Clarity here is what separates you from every contractor horror story they've heard.
Google reviews plus testimonials with project context. For six figures, they will read all of them.
Before our first conversation, we reWe research your company, your market, and your competition, then build a working demo site with your name on it. You review a real website, not a proposal deck.
One honest call. We walk through the demo, your market position, and where the opportunities are. You tell us what to change. No pressure, no 90-minute pitch. If it's not a fit, you'll know fast.
Site goes live in days. Then the monthly system kicks in: GBP management, review growth, local SEO, content updates. Month after month, you get harder to compete with. Flat monthly plans. see pricing.
| Sitework | DIY Builder (Wix, GoDaddy) | Traditional Agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Free demo first. Setup fee only after you've seen your site | Low upfront. But your time isn't free | Typically $5,000–$15,000 before you see anything |
| Monthly | One flat monthly plan: site, hosting, maintenance, and management included | Subscription for software; everything else is on you | Hosting plus retainers billed separately |
| Who builds it | A trades-only specialist who knows how construction clients verify, compare, and decide | You: nights and weekends, between jobs | Generalists splitting time across every industry |
| Speed & mobile | Hand-built static pages: near-instant load, built phone-first | Template and plugin weight slows pages down | Varies widely with the platform they put you on |
| Local SEO & GBP | Included: Google Business Profile managed, reviews worked weekly | Not included; DIY tools don't manage your map presence | Usually a separate monthly retainer |
| Time to launch | Days: the demo already exists before our first call | Weeks of your evenings | Commonly 2–4 months of meetings and revisions |
| After launch | Managed continuously: updates, content, and SEO never stop | You maintain it, or it goes stale | Change requests billed hourly |
DIY and agency figures are typical market ranges. Your mileage may vary. Ours are on the pricing page, in writing.
Sitework runs on flat monthly plans plus a one-time setup fee. The website, hosting, maintenance, and ongoing updates are all included. No surprise five-figure builds. Current plans are always published on our pricing page before you ever talk to us.
Days, not months. We build a working demo of your site before our first conversation, so by the time we talk you're reviewing a real website with your company name on it. Not a proposal. Once you approve it, launch is a matter of days.
Hosting, security, maintenance, content updates, and (depending on your plan) local SEO, Google Business Profile management, weekly GBP posts, and review strategy. The site is never finished and abandoned; it's managed continuously.
Because referrals check. Nearly every referred lead looks you up before calling, and a thin or dated site quietly kills calls you never knew you were getting. The website's first job is to stop that leak; its second job is to add cold leads from local search on top of the referral flow you already have.
Usually the honest answer is that a rebuild on a modern, fast foundation costs less than patching an old site. Our subscription model makes the rebuild painless. We'll audit what you have for free and tell you straight whether it's worth keeping.
We work exclusively with trades and home service businesses: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, construction, and home services. That focus is the point: we already know your customer, your seasonality, and your competition before the first call.
Yes. We're based in Austin, Texas and work with contractors and builders nationwide. Local SEO is local to your market, not ours: every site is built around your service area, your cities, and your competition.
DIY builders can produce a website, but not a local search presence. They're slower to load, generic in structure, and nobody is managing your Google Business Profile, reviews, or local rankings afterward. You'd own a brochure; what wins jobs is the whole system around it.
Tell us your company name and your city. We'll research your market, build a working demo of your new website, and send you the link. If you like what you see, we talk. If you don't, you've lost nothing.
No contracts to review before you've seen anything. No discovery-call gauntlet. The demo does the talking.
