Pricing Guide
How Much Does a Contractor Website Cost in 2026?
A contractor website quote depends on the pages, content, features, and support you need. A simple service site and a site with booking, several service areas, and a project gallery are different scopes.
At Zero Degree Media, the published routes are Starter at $97/mo, Pro at $147/mo, and a one-time Full Build from $2,950. Those are our offers, not a market-wide price benchmark. Larger builds are quoted separately. Compare the current plans and ownership terms before choosing.
Four ways to buy a contractor website
Build it yourself
A website builder can be a practical starting point if you have time to write, organize, and maintain the site. Compare the actual plan you need: domain connection, forms, storage, and booking may depend on the provider’s package.
The tradeoff is your time and responsibility. You need to check the phone layout, service information, image sizes, search settings, and whether inquiry notifications arrive. A template alone does not establish whether a site will perform well or bring in customers.
Hire a freelancer
A freelancer can build to an agreed brief and may offer a separate maintenance service. Ask who writes the copy, sources and prepares images, configures hosting, and fixes problems after launch. Get an itemized scope rather than assuming a one-time fee includes ongoing changes.
This can suit a contractor who wants a defined project and is comfortable arranging support after handoff.
Commission a one-time agency build
A custom build can cover detailed service content, project galleries, multiple locations, migration, and integrations. The quote should explain what is delivered and who owns it.
Our Full Build starts at $2,950. Ownership of the delivered website transfers upon full payment; our reusable toolkit remains ours. An optional Care Plan is $49/mo, or you can host the delivered site yourself. The terms of service explain the ownership boundary.
Use a managed monthly plan
A subscription combines the build and ongoing service. Starter is $97/mo for a custom website of up to five pages, hosting, SSL, routine content edits, and SEO foundations. Pro is $147/mo with booking or quote-request integration and additional features listed on the pricing page.
There is no separate setup fee or long-term contract. The first month starts the build. Monthly plans license the website while the subscription is active; cancellation does not transfer its code or layout. That distinction matters if owning and moving the delivered site is a priority.
What changes the quote?
Content and page count. A home, services, about, and contact structure is a different task from a site with separate pages for every trade and market. Build only the pages that provide useful, distinct information. Our page-count guide helps you plan that scope.
Project photography and galleries. Decide whether you already have usable photos, need image preparation, or want filtering by project type. Review contractor website examples before requesting features.
Booking and other tools. A contact form, a scheduling integration, and a custom quoting tool require different work. Define the handoff, notifications, and any third-party subscription charges.
An existing site. A rebuild needs an inventory of content, URLs, and redirects. Discuss what should be retained before changing platforms.
Support after launch. Separate the build from hosting, routine edits, new features, and ongoing marketing. For a longer-term comparison, see our website ownership and ongoing-cost guide.
A scope checklist before you accept a quote
- List the services and geographic areas you actually cover.
- Agree on the pages, copy, photos, and features included.
- Define who controls the domain, hosting, and connected accounts.
- Confirm the ownership or license terms and cancellation process.
- Ask how mobile layouts, forms, redirects, and search metadata will be tested.
- Identify recurring fees and how new work will be priced.
Judge the delivered work before promising a return
Clear service information, accessible contact options, and relevant project examples help a visitor decide whether to inquire. Rankings, AI recommendations, and booked jobs are not guaranteed by a website package. Once the site is live, distinguish an accepted form submission from a qualified lead or completed job.
