  • Free mockup, no obligation

70%are more likely to do business with a company that has a website.
39%have decided not to buy from a business because it had no website.
60%say an outdated-looking website hurts their trust in a business.
66%are more likely to hire a contractor or home-service pro who has a website.

What a good website does for you

It works for you all day, even when you're on a job.

Shows off your work

Real photos of real jobs do more selling than any ad. Your website is your portfolio, open 24/7.

Makes you look established

A clean, modern site tells people you're a real, serious business, not someone who might disappear after the deposit.

Answers questions before they call

Services, areas you cover, hours, licenses and reviews in one place. Fewer "do you do this?" calls, more ready-to-buy ones.

Gets you found

Google, Bing and AI assistants like ChatGPT look at websites to decide who to show. No website means fewer chances to come up.

Something you own

Social pages and lead apps can change the rules or charge more anytime. Your website and your customers stay yours.

Brings you leads directly

Click-to-call buttons and a quote form send customers straight to you. No middleman, no shared leads, no per-lead fees.

What's included

Everything a local business website needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Phone-first design

Most customers find you on their phone. Your site will look great and load fast on any screen.

Click-to-call & quote form

One tap to call you, and a simple form that sends requests straight to your inbox.

Photo gallery of your work

Before-and-after shots, finished projects, your team and your shop, laid out to impress.

Service & area pages

A clear page for what you do and where you do it, written so customers and search engines understand it.

Show your reviews, license, insurance and years in business where customers can see them.

A website is required to list on the PITHE directory.

Customers use our directory to find businesses they can trust, and a real website is one of the first things they check. If you don't have one yet, or yours needs work, send us your details below. We'll send a free mockup and quote, and once your site is live we'll add your free listing.

We'll reply within one business day with next steps, then send your mockup and a clear quote. No prices to guess at and no sales pressure.

We'll only use your info to reply about your website. No spam, ever.

Questions

Website questions, answered plainly.

Do I really need a website if I have a Facebook page or Google profile?

Keep those, they help. But you don't own them, they look the same as every competitor's, and they can change or disappear overnight. A website is the one place online that is fully yours, where you control how your work looks and what customers read. In a 2026 DreamHost survey of 1,201 U.S. adults, 39% said they had decided not to buy from a business because it had no website.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what you need: how many pages, whether you want online booking or quote forms, and how much writing and photo work is involved. That's why we start with a free mockup. You see your design first, then get a clear, written quote. No surprise fees, and no obligation to go ahead.

Is the mockup really free?

Yes. Send us your business name, industry and a few details. We'll design a sample homepage for your business and send it with a quote. If you don't like it, you don't owe anything.

I already have a website. Can you redesign it?

Yes. If your current site is slow, hard to use on a phone, outdated or not bringing in calls, we can rebuild it. In the same DreamHost survey, 60% of people said an outdated website hurts how they see a business.

Will my website show up on Google and in AI search?

We build every site to be found: fast loading, mobile-first, clear service and city pages, and structured data (schema) that helps Google, Bing and AI assistants like ChatGPT understand what you do and where. No one can promise a #1 ranking, but a well-built site gives you a real chance.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your business name, your content and your photos are yours. We'll explain hosting and domain options in your quote so you know exactly what you're getting.

Do I need a website to list on PITHE?

Yes. Every business listed on the PITHE directory needs a working website, so customers can check you out before they call. If you don't have one yet, send us your info below and we'll help you get one.
