Websites for Fresno Contractors
Your work is the sales pitch. A site that shows it, lists your license, and turns a homeowner's 11pm search into an estimate request by morning.
A contractor website has one job: convince a homeowner who has never met you that you do good work and will show up. That comes down to photographs of finished jobs, a visible CSLB license number, the areas you cover, and a way to ask for an estimate without picking up the phone. Everything else is secondary.
Here is what actually happens. A homeowner gets your name from a neighbor, or sees your truck, or finds you on Google. Before they call, they look you up — often at night, on a phone, sitting on the couch. That search is the entire interview. If there is nothing to find, or what they find is a Facebook page last updated in 2019, they keep scrolling to the contractor who has thirty photos of finished bathrooms.
You already did the hard part. You built the thing. The website is just where the evidence lives.
What a Contractor Site Needs
A real project gallery
Organized by job, not a dumped photo album. Each one gets a line about what the problem was and what you did. Before-and-after pairs convince people faster than anything else you can put on a page.
Your license number, everywhere
In the footer of every page. It is required in California advertising, and homeowners increasingly check it on the CSLB site before calling. A visible number reads as "nothing to hide."
The areas you actually cover
Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Sanger, Selma — named explicitly. This is both a ranking signal for local searches and the answer to the first question every caller asks.
An estimate form that asks the right things
Job type, address or area, rough timeline, and photos of the problem. Collect that while they are motivated and your first call starts from a real conversation instead of twenty questions.
Trade-specific service pages
Separate pages for kitchen remodels, roofing, concrete, or whatever you do. One page listing nine services ranks for none of them; nine pages each get their own shot.
A phone number you can tap
Fixed at the top on mobile. Contractors get called, not emailed — making someone copy a number into their dialer costs you jobs.
California requires your license number in advertising
Business and Professions Code section 7030.5 requires licensed contractors to include their license number in advertising, and the CSLB treats a website as advertising. It is a small detail that is easy to leave off a site built by someone who does not work with contractors — and it is the kind of thing that turns into a problem at exactly the wrong moment. Every contractor site we build puts it in the global footer so it cannot go missing from a page.
What This Costs
Most contractors land on the $2000 Business build, because a gallery plus separate service pages needs more than one page to work properly. If you are getting online for the first time and want to keep it simple, the $800 Starter covers a single strong page — services, service area, license number, photos, and an estimate form. Hosting runs $39 to $99 a month, month to month, and you can take a download-only build with no monthly fee at all.
One flat number, quoted before anything starts. If a job needs something outside the plan, you hear the price before it gets built, not after.
Contractor Website Questions
Does my contractor website need my CSLB license number on it?
Yes. California Business and Professions Code section 7030.5 requires licensed contractors to display their license number in advertising, and the CSLB treats a website as advertising. We put it in the footer of every page so it is never missing, and it doubles as a trust signal — homeowners increasingly look it up on the CSLB site before they call.
How do I show past projects if I never took good photos?
Phone photos are fine. What matters is organizing them by job with a short description of the problem and what you did — that context is what convinces a homeowner, not photographic quality. Going forward, shooting the same angle before and after takes about thirty seconds per job and gives you the single most persuasive thing a contractor site can show.
Can homeowners request an estimate directly from the site?
Yes, and the form is built to ask what you actually need to quote — job type, address or area, timeline, and photos of the problem. A generic "Name, Email, Message" box wastes a phone call gathering information the form could have collected while the homeowner was still motivated.
How much does a contractor website cost?
Most contractors want the $2,000 Business build, because a project gallery and separate service pages need more than one page to work. If you are just getting online, the $800 Starter covers a single strong page with your services, service area, license number, and an estimate form. Hosting runs from $39/month.
