General contractor website design

Contractor websites where the gallery does the selling.

Nobody hires a builder off one visit. They read, compare, look at photos, and come back over a week or two before they ever fill in a form. The site has to hold up across all of that, which is why the gallery and the process page carry more weight here than the phone number does.

Built for a decision that takes weeks, not minutes.

A gallery organised by job, not by date

The gallery is usually the highest-intent page on a contractor site. Yours gets grouped by kitchen, bath, ADU and addition, so somebody planning one thing sees eight versions of it instead of scrolling past everything else.

A process page that answers day one

What happens first, who pulls the permits, how long the trades are in the house, when they choose finishes. Homeowners ask this before they ask price, and almost no contractor site says it.

A page per job type, written properly

Kitchen remodels and ADU builds are separate searches with separate budgets. Each gets its own page with real detail rather than four lines under a shared services heading.

Honest ranges instead of silence

You cannot quote a kitchen from a web page and nobody expects you to. A starting range with the things that move it does more for trust than a form that says request a consultation.

Licence, bond, and insurance stated plainly

On a job this size the homeowner is handing over their house and a large deposit. Your licence number, bonding, and insurance belong somewhere they can be read in the first ten seconds.

Service areas that match your drive

Remodelers work a radius, not a city. Every town inside yours gets named in real text on its own page, which is what makes you findable for the searches that include a place name.

One price. Pay once, own it.

How it works

1. Portfolio and scope call

Half an hour on the jobs you want more of, the photos you already have, your licence and bonding details, and how far you are willing to drive.

2. Gallery and copy

We group your existing project photos by job type, write the process and permit sections, and send the whole structure back for your corrections before anything is built.

3. Build and local SEO

Development, the gallery, per-job pages, city pages, schema markup, sitemap, analytics, and image compression so a portfolio-heavy site still loads on cellular.

4. Launch and handoff

Live on your domain, files delivered, and a walkthrough of adding a finished job to the gallery so the portfolio keeps growing without us.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a contractor website cost?

With us, $1,499 one-time. Published 2026 figures for remodeling put template configurations around $2,500 to $5,000, semi-custom builds around $5,000 to $12,000, and fully custom work from $12,000 to $30,000 and up, though some shops quote fixed-price custom builds from $1,000 to $5,000. The range is wider in this trade than almost any other, so a written scope matters.

How many projects should the gallery have?

Eight to twelve per job type is plenty to start, and it beats forty photos of everything mixed together. What matters is that someone planning a bathroom can see only bathrooms in two clicks. We build it so you can keep adding after launch.

What if my project photos are not professional?

Phone photos taken in good light are fine and honestly common in this trade. What hurts a gallery is inconsistency and weight, so we crop to a consistent shape and compress everything. If you have a couple of professionally shot jobs, those lead.

Should I put prices on a remodeling website?

Ranges, yes. Nobody expects a kitchen quoted from a web page, but a starting figure and an honest explanation of what moves it, scope, finishes, structural work, permits, filters out the enquiries you were never going to win and warms up the ones you were.

How long does a contractor website take to build?

Two to three weeks once we have your project photos, job types, service area, and licence details. Photos are the usual holdup, so we send a short list on day one telling you exactly which jobs to pull images from.

Do you build for contractors outside Orange County?

Yes. We are based here and Nexgen Building is local, but the work is remote and we build for contractors across the country. Your service area pages are written around your radius, wherever that is.
