Evergreen Web Solutions / Contractor website guide
How Much Does a Contractor Website Cost?
At Evergreen Web Solutions, a six-page contractor website costs $2,000, with hosting and management billed separately at $75 per month. That makes the build plus 12 months of hosting and management $2,900. Additional pages, integrations and work outside the agreed scope can increase the total.
That is our pricing, not an industry average. When you compare website quotes, the useful question is what each price includes: the pages, writing, design, initial SEO work, revisions and support after launch.
This guide breaks down our pricing and the questions we recommend asking any website provider before you commit.
Contractor Website Pricing at a Glance
| Item | Evergreen’s pricing and terms |
|---|---|
| Six-page website build | $2,000 |
| Deposit | 25%, or $500 for a $2,000 build |
| Remaining build balance | $1,500 when the site is finished and ready to launch |
| Hosting and management | $75 per month, billed separately |
| Included minor edits | Up to two hours per month |
| Design revisions | Two rounds during the build |
| Typical build timeline | About two to three weeks, depending on communication and revisions |
| Build plus 12 months of hosting and management | $2,900 |
| Additional pages and integrations | Priced according to scope |
The $2,900 example covers the stated build and monthly plan. It is not an all-inclusive estimate for every project. Confirm domain registration or renewal costs, third-party subscriptions, applicable taxes and any additional work in your proposal.
What Does a $2,000 Contractor Website Include?
Our six-page build includes original website copy, photo organization, mobile layouts, project galleries, contact forms, initial SEO setup and two rounds of revisions.
We write the copy from scratch around the business and its services. We also organize the photos you provide so visitors can understand the work they are looking at.
Our starting structure is:
| Page | What it helps a prospective customer understand |
|---|---|
| Home | What you do, where you work and how to take the next step |
| Services | The work you offer and which service fits their project |
| Service Area | Whether you serve their location |
| About | Who is behind the business and what experience you bring |
| Project Gallery or Portfolio | Examples of the work you have completed |
| Contact | How to ask a question or request an estimate |
These six pages are the starting structure we recommend. The final page plan should reflect your services, customers and priorities.
Our approach to website design for contractors starts with helping visitors understand the business, see relevant work and make an inquiry. Appearance matters, but those practical tasks shape the design.
Why We Often Recommend More Than Six Pages
Although six pages are our starting package, we recommend a larger scope for many contractors.
Consider a remodeler offering kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels and home additions. A services overview can introduce all three, while individual pages can explain the process, show relevant projects and answer the questions specific to each service.
Someone researching an addition may need different information from someone planning a bathroom remodel. Separate pages give you room to address those needs clearly.
Additional service-area pages can also be useful when they contain meaningful information about the work you actually do in those communities. Repeating the same page with a different city name does little to help a prospective customer.
The reason to expand is useful coverage. A higher page count alone does not make a website better. Google’s helpful-content guidance emphasizes original, useful information that satisfies the reader’s needs.
When discussing scope, we ask which services the contractor wants more inquiries for and what a customer needs to know before contacting them. That gives each proposed page a purpose.
What Makes a Contractor Website More Expensive?
Additional Pages
Each additional page involves planning, writing, layout and review. A site with several individual services and detailed project pages takes more work than the six-page starting package.
Ask for the proposed page list before comparing quotes. Two providers can both promise a “contractor website” while planning very different amounts of work.
Integrations and Additional Functionality
Connecting a website to booking tools, customer-management software or other systems can add setup and testing work. Some integrations also involve separate software subscriptions.
Explain the actual workflow you want. For example, “Send an inquiry to our office” is a different requirement from “Create a customer record, assign a salesperson and start a follow-up sequence.”
Copy and Photo Preparation
Original copy and photo organization are included in our typical build. When comparing another proposal, ask whether those tasks are included or whether you are expected to supply everything ready to publish.
Also distinguish organizing existing photos from taking new ones. If you need photography, stock-image licensing or other assets, clarify those costs before the project starts.
Changes to the Agreed Scope
Our build includes two rounds of revisions. Those give you an opportunity to review the work and request adjustments.
New pages or functionality can change the scope. Before approving a project, make sure the proposal explains the revision process and how additional requests will be handled.
What Does the $75 Monthly Plan Cover?
Hosting and management are billed separately from the website build at $75 per month. The plan is month to month and includes up to two hours of minor website edits each month.
Examples of minor edits include adding project photos or tweaking existing copy.
A new collection of service pages, a major redesign or a new integration is a different type of work. Ask about the scope and cost before assuming it fits within routine monthly edits.
When comparing monthly plans, look beyond the hosting price. Find out who handles changes, how you request help and what work is included.
Is SEO Included in the Website Price?
Our builds include initial SEO setup: keyword research, page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image descriptions, applicable redirects and Search Console setup.
That work helps establish a clear starting structure. It is different from an ongoing SEO campaign with continuing research, content development, monitoring and improvements.
If you are comparing proposals, ask the provider to list exactly what “SEO included” means. A clearly defined scope is more useful than a promise that the site will be “fully optimized.” A website launch also does not establish a guaranteed ranking or number of inquiries.
Can a Cheaper Contractor Website Be a Good Choice?
A lower price can make sense when the scope is smaller or you are prepared to do more of the work yourself. The important thing is understanding what you are buying and who is responsible for the remaining work.
In websites we have reviewed, we have found services that were poorly organized, missing metadata and headings that did not follow a clear structure. Those are specific things we look for when evaluating whether a site needs improvement.
That experience is why we encourage contractors to review the deliverables behind a quote. A polished homepage does not tell you whether the service information is organized, the pages have been configured or the contact process works.
Before choosing a lower-priced build, ask:
- Who writes and reviews the copy?
- Which pages are included?
- What initial SEO work will be completed?
- Will the mobile layouts and contact forms be checked?
- How many revisions are included?
- Who handles changes after launch?
- What recurring charges should I expect?
The same questions apply to an expensive proposal. Price alone does not show the quality or completeness of the work.
If you are comparing different design approaches, our guide to website templates versus custom design for contractors explains another part of that decision.
How Long Does a Contractor Website Take to Build?
Our typical six-page build takes about two to three weeks. Communication and revisions are two of the biggest factors affecting that timeline.
Before work begins, gather accurate service information, the areas you serve, contact details, branding and the project photos you want to use. Although we write the copy, your input helps us represent the business accurately.
When reviewing a draft, combine feedback into a clear list where possible. That makes it easier to understand what needs to change and move through the revision rounds.
A larger site or a project with additional integrations may need a different schedule.
Payment Terms and Website Ownership
For our $2,000 starting build, the 25% deposit is $500. The remaining $1,500 is due when the website is finished and ready to launch.
Our clients own their website, domain and content. Hosting and management are month to month.
Ownership is a question worth asking every provider. Also ask how account access and a handover would work if you changed providers. We build on Duda, so discuss the practical transfer arrangements separately from the ownership of your domain and content.
How to Compare Contractor Website Quotes
Ask each provider to explain the same items so you can compare the actual scope.
| Question | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Which pages will you build? | A specific page list |
| Who creates the copy? | Clear writing and review responsibilities |
| What happens to my photos? | An explanation of selection, organization and placement |
| What SEO setup is included? | Named tasks rather than a general promise |
| How are revisions handled? | Included rounds and rules for additional requests |
| What will I pay after launch? | Hosting, management, software and other recurring costs |
| Who owns the website and domain? | Clear ownership, access and handover terms |
| What changes the price or timeline? | Defined scope and an explanation of additional work |
A useful proposal should let you understand what will be built, what you need to provide and what happens after launch.
Contractor Website Cost FAQs
Is $2,000 the price for every Evergreen website?
No. It is the price for our six-page starting build. Additional pages, integrations and other requirements can change the proposal.
Is hosting included in the $2,000 build fee?
No. Hosting and management are an additional $75 per month. That includes up to two hours of minor edits each month, such as adding photos or adjusting existing copy.
Can I start with six pages and add more later?
Yes, a website can be expanded. We recommend deciding which services need dedicated pages during planning so the initial scope supports your priorities. Additional pages are extra work and should be scoped accordingly.
Do I need to write the website copy myself?
We normally write the copy from scratch as part of the build. We still need your business details, service information and feedback to make sure it accurately represents your company.
How much should I budget for the first year?
For our six-page package, the build plus 12 months of hosting and management totals $2,900. Add any separately agreed work, domain charges, third-party subscriptions or applicable taxes when calculating your complete budget.
Does a new website guarantee more customers?
No. We build around clear services, useful content, project evidence and straightforward contact options. Results also depend on attracting suitable visitors, your market, your offer and how inquiries are handled.
