Contractor Website Design: A Site That Wins Bids, Not Just Compliments
Contractor website design is building a construction or contracting site that does one job well: turn a homeowner or property owner into a quote request and a booked estimate, not just show off finished projects. Ziwi builds websites for contractors and construction companies on WordPress, you own the login and the domain from day one, and every build follows the same conversion checklist.

The checklist
What a contractor website actually needs
A real project gallery
Before-and-after photos of your own work, organized by project type, because homeowners buy from proof, not adjectives.
Service and service-area pages
A page per major service and per area you cover, so you can rank for the specific work and the specific towns you want.
Trust signals up front
Licensed, insured, and bonded status, warranties, and financing options, placed where a cautious buyer looks for them.
Reviews near the decision
Homeowners choosing a contractor lean heavily on reputation; put your reviews where the quote request happens.
Tracking from day one
See which pages and which traffic actually produce quote requests, so the site earns its keep.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does a contractor website cost?
With an ongoing plan kept for 12 months, the build fee is $0 (the free website offer). Otherwise a designed template is $1,000 and a fully custom design is $2,500. Add-ons like a logo and Google Business Profile setup are priced separately and published on the pricing page; nothing is quoted only after a sales call.
Can you build service-area and project-gallery pages?
Yes. We plan a page per major service and per area you cover so you can rank for the specific work and towns you want, and we build a project gallery organized by project type using your own before-and-after photos.
Do I own my contractor website after Ziwi builds it?
Yes. You get your own login, your own domain, and your own hosting account information. The site is yours from launch, not something you keep paying to access.
What is the difference between the template and custom options?
A template starts from one of our existing designed sites and is made yours; custom is designed from scratch around your company. Both are built to the same conversion standards. Choose based on whether you have specific brand or service needs a template cannot fit, or on budget and speed.
How long does it take to build a contractor website?
Three days from kickoff to live, as standard. If the production queue ever means a different date, we tell you before you start, not after.
