How much does a handyman website cost?
+
We give a fixed quote, agreed before work starts, based on pages, features, integrations and content. You get it within 1 business day of the audit call, with no hourly billing and no per-lead fees.
How long does it take to build a handyman website?
+
Most handyman sites take 4 to 8 weeks. Sites with many town pages, a crew structure or a migration take 8 to 12 weeks. You get a dated week-by-week plan, and if we slip a date because of us, your next month of support is free.
Do I need a website if most of my work comes from word of mouth?
+
Referrals still look you up. BrightLocal's 2026 survey found 54% of people visit a business website after reading positive reviews, and in its decisions study 18% of people who passed on a business said they could not find a website. A site also lets you choose which jobs you get more of, instead of taking whatever the next referral brings.
Can I advertise handyman services if I am not a licensed contractor?
+
In many states, yes, within a set job-size limit and with conditions. California and Arizona require your ads to say you are not licensed, and Florida's exemption is lost if you advertise as a contractor. We build the service menu and wording to your state's rule, and route permitted or larger jobs to licensed partners. Check your state board's rule too.
Should I list electrical and plumbing jobs on my handyman site?
+
Only if you hold the license for them. Otherwise we describe those jobs as work you coordinate with a licensed electrician or plumber, so the site does not promise work you cannot legally do.
Should I show prices on my handyman website?
+
Show your pricing approach at minimum: hourly with a minimum, flat rate per task or day blocks, plus trip fee and materials policy. BrightLocal found 32% of consumers who passed on a business cited unclear pricing. Sample flat-rate tasks are optional and you edit them yourself.
Can customers send me a list of jobs with photos?
+
Yes. The send-your-list form takes several tasks, photos, the address and preferred days in one request, so you can price most of it before the visit. It goes to your inbox, your phone or straight into Jobber or Housecall Pro.
Can online booking go straight into Jobber or Housecall Pro?
+
Yes. We embed the request or booking form from the tool you already use, set your service ZIP codes and visit lengths and test bookings before launch. If you do not use one, the form goes to your office by email and text.
How do I get my handyman business recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI answers?
+
Make it easy to describe: a page per job with a direct answer at the top, service areas and pricing approach in text, consistent details across your site and Business Profile, schema markup and recent reviews. Nobody can guarantee an AI ranking, because answers change from run to run.
Should I have a page for every town I serve?
+
No. Google's spam policy treats near-identical city pages as doorway pages. We build a service area hub with a ZIP check, then town pages only where you have real jobs, photos and reviews to show.
A lead app offered me a free profile page. Why would I pay for my own site?
+
A profile on someone else's platform sits next to your competitors, and the leads it sends are often shared. Your own site sends the request only to you, keeps your reviews, photos and pages in your name and shows what each channel actually books.
Can I text customers who send a request?
+
Yes, with consent. Under the TCPA, marketing texts sent through an automated texting platform need prior express written consent. Our forms carry consent wording that says consent is not a condition of purchase, plus a STOP path.
What should I ask a handyman web design company before I hire one?
+
Ask who owns the domain, site and accounts; whether the request form takes a list with photos; how calls and texts are tracked and reported by page; whether your license status and state limit will be checked; and what lead results they can show, with the method behind the numbers. We answer all five in writing.
Which platform do you build handyman websites on?
+
We name the platform in your written scope before you sign, chosen for page speed, for your scheduling tool's booking embed and for what you can edit yourself. Whatever we use, the code, content and accounts are yours and can move to another developer at any time.
