What a handyman website needs
People look for a handyman with a specific small job in mind and want to know two things: do you do that, and how do you charge. A site for this trade is a clear list of jobs and a simple way to ask.
A real list of jobs
Drywall patches, doors, fixtures, TV mounting, small carpentry. People look for the job, not the word handyman.
What you don't do
Saying no to big remodels, or to electrical and plumbing work that needs a license, saves both sides a call.
How you charge
By the hour, by the job or with a minimum. A line on it sets expectations before the first text.
Services your site would list
These are the usual ones for handyman. Yours are written around what you actually offer, in your words.
- Home repairsDoors that stick, leaky faucets, loose railings and the rest of the list.
- Drywall and paintHoles patched, seams fixed and walls touched up or repainted.

What should a handyman website include?
A list of the jobs you take, the ones you don't, how you charge, the towns you cover and a form where people can describe the job.
I do a bit of everything. How does that fit on one page?
Jobs are grouped into a few plain categories, such as repairs, installs and outdoor work, with examples under each. Customers scan for their job and send the form.
How much does a handyman website cost?
With Sawhorse Web Co. it is $0 down and $149 a month, with no contract and no setup fee. That covers the site, the domain, hosting, a security certificate and changes when you need them. The first 5 clients pay $99 a month for as long as they stay.
Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page and a Google profile?
Keep both. A website gives your Google profile a link to point at, an address of your own and a quote form that reaches you directly. Whether that is worth $149 a month is your call, which is why you see the site before paying anything.
How do I see my site first?
Send your business name, trade and town by the form, a text or an email. A private link to your site arrives within 48 hours, free. Keep it and it goes live on your own domain. Pass and you owe nothing.
