What a contractor website needs
Most people looking for a contractor are on their phone, and they want three things fast: do you do the job, do you come to their area, and how do they reach you. A good contractor site answers all three before they scroll.
Your number at the top
One tap to call from a phone, on every page.
The areas you cover
List the towns, so someone in Kanata or Orléans knows you come to them.
Your services, one by one
What you do, in the words customers type into Google.
Proof you're qualified
Red Seal, licences, insurance, WSIB and years in the trade.
A quote request form
Name, number and what they need, sent straight to your email.
Photos of real work
Your own jobs, not stock photos. Before and after if you have them.
Example: PSI Diesel Repair
PSI is a mobile diesel mechanic with a Red Seal 310T ticket, working across Ottawa and out to towns like Arnprior, Casselman and Cornwall. The site puts the phone number in the header, lists every town PSI covers, and has a quote request form. It uses PSI's own logo and red, and runs on its own domain.

Who this is for
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, landscapers, renovation and general contractors, decks and fences, snow removal, auto and diesel mechanics, and anyone else in the trades around Ottawa. If customers find you, call you and ask for a quote, the site is built around that.
How it works
- Tell us about your business. The form on our home page takes about two minutes.
- We build a working demo within 48 hours, with your name, logo, colours and services.
- You decide. If you like it, we put it live on your own domain. If you don't, you don't pay.
Common questions
I get most of my work from word of mouth. Do I need a website?
People who hear about you still look you up before they call. If they find nothing, or an old page that doesn't work on a phone, some of them call the next name on the list.
Can you use my logo and colours?
Yes. PSI's site uses PSI's own logo and red. If you don't have a logo yet, we can work with your business name and pick colours with you.
Will people be able to find me on Google?
We set the site up so Google can read it: page titles, your service areas, your business details and a sitemap. A Google Business Profile with reviews matters a lot for local searches, and we can help you set that up too.
How much does it cost?
The demo is free. For general Ottawa price ranges, see our website cost guide.
