Compare your contractor website options, fairly
Ten honest comparisons for US general contractors: when HighLevel, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, GoDaddy, a freelancer or an agency is the better choice, and when a managed GetConstructionWebsite site is. Each one ends with how to switch, or how to use both.

Client reviews
Client reviews from contractors who switched
We reviewed the draft on handsets rather than a big screen, deliberately. Key information comes first and the contact option is clearly labeled. The days of talking customers through the menu are over.
Lalita TrivediOffice administrator, Whole-house refurbishment contractorDurham, NC · Foundation plan Mobile navigation and page layout for renovation inquiries
We suspected our renovation inquiries content existed in two versions. The audit found more. Everything now lives in one maintained reference, with the duplicates retired or redirected. Customers no longer quote wording we retired two years ago.
Sylvia BentleyEstimating assistant, New-build housing developerProvo, UT · Foundation plan Content audit and update process for renovation inquiries
Years of shared renovation inquiries links were my concern, and they treated it as theirs. Every legacy address was cataloged, mapped and tested before go-live. I could share the new site knowing the old links had been taken seriously.

Questions about choosing a website option
What is the best website option for a general contractor?
The one that gets updated. For a contractor who wants estimate requests from search without doing the work, a managed site with a page per service and per town, a sorted gallery and weekly updates usually wins. For a contractor with a web person on staff, a platform like WordPress or Webflow can work well.
Are these comparisons fair?
Each page says plainly when the other option is the better fit. Where we could not verify a detail about another provider on its own site, we describe it in general terms rather than guess, and we never quote another provider's prices.
Do you work with GoHighLevel?
Yes. Many contractors keep HighLevel as their CRM and automation platform. We connect website forms to it by API, Zapier or Make so every lead lands in the same pipeline.
Can I switch without losing my Google rankings?
Yes, when the move is done properly. We map every old URL to its new page with a 301 redirect before launch, which carries existing ranking signals across.
How much does a managed contractor website cost?
Plans start at $127 a month with a $697 one-time build fee that is invoiced only after launch. Hosting and one domain are included.
How long does it take to switch?
7 days from the onboarding call on Foundation, 10 on Framing and 15 on Finish Out.
What if I want to keep editing the site myself?
Then a do-it-yourself platform may suit you better, and the comparison pages say so. With us, you request changes: 5 revisions a month of any size, done within 2 to 5 working days.
Is the speed guarantee real?
Yes. Our terms guarantee a 90+ Google PageSpeed score on mobile and desktop for pages we build and host, and we fix any shortfall caused by our work at no charge.
Still weighing it up?
See a site built for your services and towns in a live walkthrough, then compare it with what you have. The $697 build fee is only invoiced after you approve the finished site.
