Web design in Austin
Contractor websites for a growing metro
Web design in Austin for owner-run trades: a site built and kept current for you, with a page for each service and each suburb you drive to, and your number on every screen.
[ The situation in Austin ]
Austin has a reputation for design, and plenty of studios in town will build a beautiful site. A contractor needs something narrower. When a homeowner in Austin has water on the floor or no cooling on a July afternoon, they search, open two or three sites, and call the one that answers their question first. Web design for a trade is judged in those few seconds, on a phone, usually in a hurry.
The metro also keeps spreading. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Georgetown and the towns along I-35 each have their own search, and a site that only says "Austin" is missing most of them. A contractor site here needs a page for the city, a page for each service, and a page for each suburb you actually serve.
[ What the work is ]
Built for the call, not the portfolio
We build lean pages with the number and one next step on the first screen, and services written in the words a homeowner types. Website design for contractors explains what is on every page and why there is nothing on it that slows the site down.
A page for each suburb you serve
A homeowner in Pflugerville and one in Cedar Park are shown different results. We write a page for each place you work, saying something true about it, which is the structure on the SEO page. Round Rock already has its own.
Kept current for you
New neighborhoods open around Austin all the time, and your site and your service area should follow them. We make the changes, so you never log in on a Sunday to update your hours or add a service.
The listing and the stars beside it
The site is one of three places a customer checks. The map listing and the reviews are the other two, and local SEO and review management cover them in the packages below the website.
[ Before you choose ]
Before you hire anyone for web design in Austin, open three contractor sites on your own phone, standing outside, and time how long it takes to find the number. Then ask the designer you are talking to the same question about the sites they have built. A site that takes more than a glance to show who you are, what you do and how to reach you is costing calls, however good it looks on a large screen in an office.
Austin's ground and weather give a trade plenty to write about honestly. West of the city the hills sit on thin soil over limestone, and east of it the land is flatter and the soils heavier, so foundations, drainage and plumbing behave differently from one side of the metro to the other. Long hot summers test every cooling system, and the February 2021 freeze showed how many pipes in the region were never protected. A page that speaks to the conditions in the part of the metro you serve reads as written by someone who works there.
Finally, keep the site honest. Real photographs of your own jobs, the towns you really drive to and the services you really sell will do more for a homeowner deciding whom to call than any amount of polish. We will not put invented reviews, stock photos captioned as your work or a list of towns you never visit on your site.
[ How it runs ]
We do not have an Austin office. We are based in the Houston area and work with Austin owners by phone and screen share. The site is built on your own domain, which you own.
[ One business per trade per area ]
The top package, which includes the website, takes one business per trade per area. Around Austin we draw the area by side of the metro and by suburb, and we turn down a second company in the same trade and place. See the packages.
