What a painting website needs
A paint job is a big ticket, and customers look closely at past work before they call. A site for this trade is mostly photos of finished jobs, with a short list of what you paint and an easy way to ask for an estimate.
Finished work up front
Exteriors, interiors, cabinets and trim, in a gallery that opens full screen.
Interior and exterior listed separately
They are different jobs with different seasons. Each gets its own short description.
The prep, in plain words
How you prep, whether you are insured and what paint you use, if you want that shown.
Services your site would list
These are the usual ones for painting. Yours are written around what you actually offer, in your words.

- Deck and fence stainingCleaned, stained and sealed against the weather.

What should a painting contractor's website include?
Photos of finished jobs, the kinds of painting you do, the towns you cover, whether you are insured if that applies, and a form for requesting an estimate.
I don't have good photos of my work. What then?
Phone photos are fine. Send what you have and take a few at your next job. The preview is built with stand-in photos that are labelled as such, and your own photos replace them when you send them.
How much does a painting 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.
