Website design for contractors and home service businesses: researched, written, built, hosted, and kept current for $249 a month, with $0 due upfront and a free sample of your actual website before you pay anything.

At Turnpike Tech, $249 a month with $0 due upfront, and that covers research, writing, design, build, hosting, and upkeep. For comparison, published 2026 guides put a typical professional contractor build at $800 to $3,000 up front plus $30 to $300 a month to host and maintain, and do-it-yourself builders at $10 to $139 a month before you count your own evenings. We publish our price because we would want to see it too.

Yes, and keep the Facebook page too. Facebook is rented ground: it does not rank for the service searches that bring in new customers, it shows a login wall to people without an account, and if the account is ever locked, your presence goes with it. Your website is the one piece of the internet you own. It is where your reviews, services, and phone number work for you around the clock, on your terms.

A builder is cheaper in dollars and more expensive in the currency you are shortest on: evenings. Owners regularly lose dozens of hours to a builder and still end up with something that looks homemade, because the tool does not write your copy, choose your proof, or structure your service pages for search. Hiring it done means the research, writing, build, and upkeep are somebody else's job, and the sample lets you judge the result before you pay.

You do. Your domain is registered in your name and stays under your control from day one, and your photos, reviews, and content are yours. If you ever leave, we hand over your content and help you move. Read other providers' FAQs closely: some keep ownership of your site unless you pay a buyout, and some make you rebuild from scratch when you go. Ours is written to be quoted against theirs.

Everything the website needs to stay an asset instead of a chore: hosting, security, and backups; the research, writing, and build up front; your Google Business Profile website link checked and fixed; and changes whenever you need them, by call or text. New services, new photos, new hours, seasonal pages: handled. There are no per-edit fees and no surprise invoices.

Your sample is ready for review within days of the research call, most within a week. Launch follows your approval, on your schedule. For contrast, the biggest platforms quote 4 to 10 weeks in their own FAQs, and premium agencies can run around 100 days. Sample-first means the timeline question gets answered with a website, not a promise.

Start with the free audit and we will tell you straight. Sometimes the bones are good and a focused fix is the right call. More often, the honest answer is a rebuild on your same domain, keeping the rankings and reviews you have earned, because patching a dated site costs more than replacing it. Either way, you approve a sample before anything about your current site changes.

Nobody honest can guarantee a position, and you should run from anyone who does. Here is what actually decides local rankings: complete service and town pages, a fully built-out Google profile, a steady flow of reviews, fast pages, and business facts that agree everywhere. Most shops we audit are missing several of those, which is exactly why the opportunity is there. We do all of it inside this plan, on Google, in Maps, and in the AI search tools homeowners are starting to ask instead, and your free audit shows you where you stand before we start.

Then you have spent nothing but a short call. The sample exists so the risk sits with us, not with you: if the work does not convince you, walk away and keep the audit findings. If it is close but not right, tell us what feels off and we revise. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
