You should not have to buy a contractor site to find out whether it fits your business. Our free preview shows your site before you approve it or pay. Here is how to review it, change it and decide whether to publish.
A sample is not your preview
Our painter sample uses a made-up business to show the layout. It is not a customer result or a testimonial. The samples show Lead Generator pages; Starter includes 4–5 pages and Professional includes 6–10. Your preview uses your answers and the pages included in your selected package.
Four checks before you approve
1.Check the business details first
Read your business name, phone number, services and towns on every page. Remove work you do not take. Check any claims about licenses, insurance, experience or warranties against what your business can actually prove.
2.Look at it on a phone
Open each page from the preview menu. On a computer, use Phone view to check the narrow layout. On your phone, review the site directly. Make sure the text is readable and the call button shows your correct number.
3.Separate your job photos from representative photos
Your own job photos show work you have done. If you skip uploads, we use representative trade photos instead. They are not evidence of your projects. Replace them with your own photos before presenting the gallery as your work.
4.Understand the quote form
The preview lets you inspect the form without sending a real quote request. Submission there is a demonstration, not an email delivery test. After publication, submit a real request and confirm it reaches the email you supplied.
What if you do not like it?
Open Edit to change the headline, introduction, about text, service summaries or selected photos. Choose Save changes, then look at the preview again. These text and photo edits do not use a rebuild. The editing panel does not offer a field for every sentence on every page.
Rebuild this writes the pages again from your original answers. You have 3 rebuilds total. A rebuild replaces your text edits, so use it before spending time polishing individual wording. When rebuilds run out, the text and photo controls remain available.
If the site still does not fit, do not approve or pay. Building a preview creates no charge. Your browser offers a way back to the preview for 30 days. Use the same browser and keep its saved data; a different device may not have your preview access.
Preview, approval, payment, publication
1.Build and review
Choose your trade and package, add your business details, then upload photos or skip them. No payment is required. We build the pages included in your chosen package for you to review.
2.Approve the preview
When you are happy with it, choose “Approve and publish.” The next panel asks for your email and site address. It shows the package, setup fee and later monthly price again. Opening this panel does not charge you.
3.Pay the setup fee
The “Pay” button opens hosted checkout. Review the amount there before completing payment. Approval alone does not publish the site; the setup fee must be paid.
4.Open your published site
Once payment is confirmed, your site publishes at the address you chose under contractorsites.pro. Open that address and check the live pages. You can request later changes from your account.
What does publishing cost?
Starter has a $497 setup fee, Professional $997 and Lead Generator $1,497. Each includes the first year of hosting and maintenance. After year one, hosting and small edits cost $49/month, $79/month or $99/month, respectively. See the full package details before choosing.
You are buying a site, not a guaranteed number of jobs or a search ranking. If your current site already does what you need, you may not need a replacement. Our website cost guide compares the other routes.
Look at yours before deciding
Start with your trade and business details. No card is required to build the preview. Nothing to pay until you approve your preview.
