Websites for Ottawa contractors and trades
When a homeowner in Kanata or Orléans needs a roofer, an electrician or a plumber, they usually search on their phone and call the first business that looks trustworthy. If your website is out of date, hard to use on a phone, or missing altogether, it's harder for them to choose you. We build simple, mobile-friendly websites for Ottawa contractors and trades, at a fixed price agreed in writing, usually live in about 2 weeks.
What your website needs to do
A trades website has a short list of jobs, and we build around them:
- Make it easy to call. A click-to-call button that stays visible on phones, plus your hours.
- Show what you do and where. A clear list of services (repairs, installs, renovations, emergency calls if you offer them) and the parts of Ottawa you cover.
- Collect quote requests. A short form that asks for the job type, the address area and photos, sent straight to your email.
- Show your real work. Before-and-after photos from your own jobs, organised by service.
- Build trust. Your licence and insurance details where they apply (you confirm what your trade requires you to show), plus warranty terms and real reviews you've collected.
How it works
- A quick chat. A call or email about your business and what's not working now.
- Fixed price in writing. You know the price before any work starts.
- We build it. You send photos, your service list and your service area; we write and design the pages.
- You review it. Changes are made before launch.
- Live in about 2 weeks in most cases, depending on how quickly we get your photos and approvals.

- Launch (up to 6 pages): $1,500. Fits most trades: home, services, service area, gallery, about, contact.

Questions
Do I need to write the content?
No. We write it from a short questionnaire and a call. You check that it's accurate.
Can you use my existing domain and email?
Usually, yes. We'll check what you have when we first talk.
I don't have good photos. Is that a problem?
Phone photos of real jobs are fine and usually better than stock photos. We'll tell you which shots help most.
Will I be stuck with you?
Care plans are month to month. The $0-down plan has a 12-month minimum, which we explain in writing first.
Do you do IT or computer support?
No, we only build and look after websites.
Other Ottawa businesses we build for
Many of our trades clients run the business themselves, like a lot of tax preparers and bookkeepers.
