What makes a good contractor website?

A good contractor website does three things fast: it loads quickly, it works on a phone, and it earns trust in seconds.

What a good contractor website includes

It loads in under about three seconds, it works flawlessly on a phone (where most homeowners are searching), and it shows real job photos, genuine reviews, and one-tap click-to-call and quote buttons. Behind the scenes, clear service pages and location pages do the local-SEO heavy lifting so you show up when someone nearby searches.

Common contractor website mistakes

What it should not be is a slow, generic template that could belong to any business in any city. A phone number buried at the bottom of the page and one page that lumps every service together are the other two we see most.
