Guide
What should a handyman or contractor website include?
The short answer: A clear list of services, photos of real jobs, reviews, the area you cover, and a quote or booking form that sends the job straight to you.
Your services, in your customers' words
People search "fix a leaking faucet," not "plumbing solutions." List the jobs you actually do, the way people ask for them.
Where you work
Name the towns and neighborhoods you cover. It helps people decide in seconds and helps Google show you to locals.
Photos of real jobs
Before and after shots from your own phone beat stock photos. They prove the work is yours.
Reviews near the button
Put a few real reviews right beside the quote button, where people make the decision.
A quote or booking form
Ask for the job, the address and a photo. It should land in your email or your scheduling app, not sit on the website.
Licensed and insured, only if true
If you carry insurance or a license, say so plainly. If you don't yet, leave it off. Trust lost is hard to win back.
Works on a phone in a driveway
Many customers find you on a phone. Big buttons, short pages, fast loading.

Describe your business. We'll draw the site, then Shane can price it. Most small business sites run $450 to $800.
