Web design for contractors and builders
Astra Labs designs custom websites for general contractors, builders, remodelers, plasterers, concrete, fencing and decking crews. One fixed price of $499 covers up to five pages, paid as $99 to start and the rest when you love it. Each site is built around your own finished jobs and ends in a quote request that reaches your phone. You own it, and you edit it yourself.
These come from the 36 contractor sites we have designed, from kitchen fitters in Cumbria to forming crews in British Columbia, and from what we saw on the sites they had before.
People hire a builder on proof. The first screen should be one of your jobs, shot on your phone if that is what you have, not a stock photo of a stranger in a hard hat. In our builds the opening image is the crew's own photo or a short clip cut from their own videos.
A remodeler sells rooms, a fencer sells feet of fence, a concrete crew sells a pour. We draw the work in that unit: a cottage in section that fills room by room, a fence that draws itself to the length the visitor types, a deck whose boards lift to show the framing underneath.
Most homeowners do not know what to write to a contractor. A few taps (the job, the size, the town, the timing) turn into a message that is already written and goes by text, WhatsApp or email straight to you. At launch a proper enquiry form that lands in your inbox sits next to it.
Many trade customers would rather call. A tap-to-call button belongs in the header and next to every quote button, and it has to work on the first screen of a phone.
A short list of the towns and counties you cover, and a map where it helps, tells people in one look whether you will come to them. It does that better than a hundred copied town pages.
Real review lines from real customers, with their first name and town, placed beside the quote button where the decision happens. We use only reviews you already have.
Job photos are heavy. We size every image for the screen it is shown on and load the ones further down only when they are needed, so a page full of work still opens quickly on a building site with one bar of signal.
Before we design anything we read the business's current site. Here is what we found across the contractors and builders we worked on in October 2026, and what a phone saw when we opened each homepage again on 1 November 2026.
Most of these sites were built on a template, by the owner, a local helper or an agency, and they did the job of putting the business online. Where they fall short is in the step after someone lands: 9 of the 46 still showed placeholder or demo content from the template, such as sample testimonials or unfinished pages, and 3 of the 28 homepages we could open had neither a form nor a tap-to-call link. 0 of the 46 businesses had no website of their own at all.
How we counted: our review notes describe each old site in writing, and we searched those notes for stock photography and template placeholders. The phone checks opened each homepage once as a 390 pixel wide phone. Full method in our State of Small Business Websites 2026 report.
Two are live client sites. The others are designs we made for businesses that had not asked us to name them, so we describe the trade and the region only.
Every contractor site we make includes these. Nothing here is a plugin you have to keep updated.
Job, size, town and timing in a few taps, sent as a ready message by text, WhatsApp or email. A proper enquiry form to your inbox is added at launch.
Two of your own photos of the same spot, lined up so the visitor drags from one to the other. It is the most convincing thing a builder can show.
Kitchens, extensions, decks, concrete: each with your photos and a line about the job, so people find the work like theirs.
The towns and counties you cover, written once and clearly, so nobody has to guess.
Add a finished job, swap a photo or change a price yourself. Drafts stay private until you press Publish.
Clean code, titles and descriptions for every page, your business details marked up, and redirects from your old page addresses so nothing is lost.
The same $499 for a one-man fencing crew and a contractor with three teams. You pay $99 to start and the rest only when you love the finished site, before it goes live on your domain.
One time, for the complete website. No contract and nothing monthly unless you choose it.
If it still is not right after we refine it with you, we refund everything you have paid.
$499 one time for up to five pages, paid as $99 to start and $400 when you love the finished site, before it goes live. Extra pages, moving a large old site and business email are optional add-ons with fixed prices. There is no monthly fee unless you choose hosting and care at $30 a month.
No. Each site is designed around your business, your photos and the way your customers buy. The fencing, carpentry and remodeling sites above all started from the same price and ended up looking nothing alike.
Yes. Your site comes with its own private dashboard. You sign in, click any words or photo, change it and press Publish. Adding a finished job takes a few minutes from your phone, and every earlier version is kept.
Yes, the quickest way is by text or WhatsApp: the quote button opens a message that is already written, and they attach photos straight from their phone. If you want a form with photo uploads as well, tell us and we check it for your site.
Your domain stays yours and your email keeps working. At launch we point your domain at the new site, set up redirects from your old page addresses, and tell you in writing what you can cancel and what to keep.
We build every page so Google can read it well: light, clean code, a clear title and description for each page, your business details marked up, and redirects so the pages Google already knows carry over. At launch we connect your Google Business Profile, Search Console and Analytics, where reviews and your service area do much of the work for local searches.
Your logo if you have one, photos of your work (phone photos are fine), and a few lines about your business. We write every word from what you already say about your work.
Give them a site that shows it properly and makes the quote easy. $499, $99 to start.
