Cider for ContractorsFree first draft, no card needed

Contractor websites that show the work

Cider for Contractors designs websites for roofers, remodelers, custom home builders and landscapers: your finished projects photographed properly, the towns you work in, your license and warranty in plain words, and an estimate request that asks the right questions before you drive out. Every site is designed from a blank page for your trade, never a template. Your first draft is free in 5 to 7 business days, and the fixed launch fee, from $499, comes only when you launch.

  • Projects, not stock photos
  • Free first draft
  • Pay only at launch

Our work

Contractor sites we've designed

Four contractor sites, each designed from a blank page, from the most classic to the boldest. Each is a real, working website: open one on your phone and try it.

See all our work

Made for you

What every contractor site we build does

  • Your projects, front and center

    Galleries by kind of job, before-and-after photos that line up, and the town, the size and the weeks on site under each one, so people see work like theirs.

  • Estimate requests that save a trip

    A short form in steps that asks the job, the town, the timing and the budget range, so you know what you're driving out to before you call back.

  • The towns you actually work in

    Your service area named town by town, with a map and a quick check, and the area written into your pages the way people search for it.

  • License, insurance and warranty

    Your license number, your insurance and what your warranty covers, in plain words on every page, before anyone has to ask.

  • Prices people can plan around

    Honest starting prices for your common jobs, and a link to the financing your lender offers, so the first call is about the job rather than sticker shock.

  • One tap to call from the driveway

    A call button that stays on the phone's screen, for the storm calls and the leaks, and an office-hours line that knows when you're open.

Works with what you use

Linked to the tools you already run

Your project management, photos and reviews stay where your crew already keeps them. The site links your client portal, shows photos you choose from your job-site app, and books estimates through the calendar you use. If you switch tools, we change the link.

Three steps

How it works

Most of the work is ours. You tell us about your business, we design it, and you launch when you're happy.

  1. 5 minutes

    Tell us about your business

    The short form, or a chat with the team. Send photos, your logo, your menu: whatever you have.

  2. 5 to 7 business days

    Get your free first draft

    Screenshots for computer and phone and a private preview link (2 to 3 business days with priority, overnight with rush). Ask for changes in plain words until it's right.

  3. When you're ready

    Approve, pay and launch

    Pay the fixed launch fee only when you're happy. With the care plan, we put the site live on your domain and look after it; without it, we hand you the files to host yourself.

More on how it works

The pages a contractor site usually has

  • Home
  • Services
  • Projects
  • About and service area
  • Free estimate

Which plan fits

Most contractors say everything that wins the job on a handful of pages: what you build, the projects that prove it, who you are and where you work, and an estimate request. That's the Website launch: up to 5 pages for $499, paid once when you launch.

Bigger, or several locations? Every plan, and a custom quote, is below.

About the care plan

Questions

Questions contractor owners ask

Not a contractor? Cider for Contractors is one part of Cider Websites. See every kind of business we design for.

How much does a contractor website cost?

Most contractors choose the Website launch: $499 once for up to 5 pages, paid only after you've seen a free first draft with your own projects on it. Hosting comes with the optional care plan, $49 a month, together with your domain and 4 small edits a month for new project photos and seasonal changes. Every price is public.

Can you use the photos we already have?

Yes. Send what you have, from phone photos to a job-site app, and we choose and crop the strongest. Where you have before and after shots from the same spot, we line them up for a slider.

Can people ask for an estimate on the site?

Yes. We build an estimate or inspection request that asks the questions you'd ask on the phone: the job, the town, the timing and the budget range. Requests arrive in your email, or in the scheduling tool you already use.

Will we show up on Google in the towns we serve?

Every site we build names your service area in a form search engines read, with page titles that say what you do and where, your name, address and phone the same everywhere, and fast pages on a phone. For ongoing search work, add SEO & AEO care to the care plan. Our guide covers getting your business on Google.

Most of our work comes from referrals. Do we need a website?

Referrals still look you up before they call. A site that shows finished projects, your license and the towns you work in turns a name someone passed along into a booked estimate. Our guide asks whether you need a website at all.

We do roofing, siding and gutters. Can each have its own page?

Yes. Each service gets its own page with its photos and starting prices, and larger areas can have a page per town. Up to 15 pages fit the Pro launch; bigger sites get a custom quote.
