Contractor website design & hosting

Your work should look as good online as it does in the field.

Ground Up builds fast, mobile-first websites for contractors and trade businesses, then keeps them hosted, secure and maintained after launch. The goal is simple: make the company easy to trust, easy to find and easy to contact.

What is included

Built to generate confidence before the phone ever rings.

Every project is scoped around the contractor, but the core build is designed to cover the pieces most trade websites are missing.

01 · Positioning

Clear services and calls to action

Visitors quickly understand what the company does, where it works and how to request service or an estimate.

02 · Proof

Projects, reviews and credibility

Real job photos, experience, licensing, review highlights and project stories make the business feel established.

03 · Local SEO foundation

Pages built around actual searches

Core service pages, useful service-area structure, metadata, sitemap and Search Console setup.

04 · Lead intake

Better than a name-and-email box

Service request forms can collect project type, contact information, location, details and photos where appropriate.

Starting packages

Simple enough to buy. Flexible enough to fit the company.

These are starting points, not cookie-cutter site limits. Final scope is confirmed before work begins.

What the $99/month is for: the contractor is not paying for raw server space. Ground Up is managing the website, hosting setup, SSL, deployments, backups and routine care. New pages, redesign work, large content changes, paid advertising and ongoing SEO campaigns are quoted separately. Domain registration/renewal is also separate.

How it works

A straightforward path from old site to new site.

1. Website reviewWe review the current site, services, photos, reviews, competitors and what customers need to do next.
2. Structure & contentWe map the pages, service areas, calls to action and content needed to represent the company correctly.
3. Private buildThe new site is built privately for review before any live domain is changed.
4. Launch & careAfter approval, the domain points to the new Firebase-hosted site and Ground Up can manage it ongoing.
