Websites built to get you work.

Websites built to get you work.

A pretty site that nobody finds and nobody calls is a waste of money. We build fast sites that show up on Google and turn visitors into booked jobs.

Not just pretty. Built to convert.

  • Fast & Mobile-First. Loads instantly on a phone, where most of your customers are looking.
  • Built to Rank. Structured for SEO from day one, so it actually gets found.
  • Your Real Work. Your photos and projects front and centre, not stock images.
  • Click-to-Call. One tap to call you from any page. No friction.
  • Lead Capture. Forms and quote requests that drop straight into your inbox.
  • You Own It. It is your site, your domain, your content. No hostage situations.

From dated to dialled-in.

Your website is your hardest-working salesperson, open around the clock. If it is slow, clunky on a phone, or invisible on Google, you are handing jobs to the competition.

We build you a fast, clean site that loads in a flash, shows off your work, and makes it dead simple to call or request a quote. Built to rank, built to close.

Websites are quoted on their own, separate from the monthly programs. Once the site is live, the ongoing work of getting it found is the Get Found program at $1,500 a month, or Dominate at $2,500 if you want to move faster. Market Leader adds custom service landing pages on top.

What should a contractor website actually do?

Your website has one job. Get the phone ringing with the kind of work you actually want. Every page, every photo and every button should push toward a call, a quote request or a booked job.

A lot of contractor sites miss that. The phone number is buried in the footer. Every service is crammed into one paragraph on one page. The photos came from a stock library, and customers can tell.

Good web design for contractors isn't about looking fancy. It's about a homeowner standing in their driveway with a phone, finding you, seeing work you've done, and tapping to call without hunting for anything.

Think of it like your best salesman who never takes a day off. It answers the same questions you get on every call, shows the jobs you're proud of, and makes it dead simple to ask for a price. If it isn't doing that, it's costing you work you never hear about.

What comes with a RankWright contractor website?

Every site we build loads fast on a phone. Every page has click to call and a quote form, so nobody has to go looking for how to reach you.

Each service gets its own page. So does each town you work in. If you do excavation, driveways and retaining walls across three towns, those become separate pages that Google can match to separate searches. That's how a construction company website design brings in work instead of just sitting there.

Under the hood it's set up for Google from the start, with proper page titles, schema and a sitemap. We use your real job photos, not stock. The whole thing is built to rank from day one, which is why it pairs well with ongoing local SEO once it's live.

Nothing goes on the site just to look nice. If a section doesn't help somebody decide to call you, it gets cut. That keeps every page short, quick and easy to read on a small screen, which is where a lot of people will be looking at it, usually between other things.

Why does my website need to show up on Google?

A website nobody finds is a brochure sitting in a drawer. When people need a contractor, they open Google, type what they need and where they are, and call one of the first names they see. If that isn't you, it's the other guy, even if your work is better and your price is fairer.

That's why we build every site to be found. The service pages, the town pages and the structure underneath are all there so Google understands what you do and where you do it. Rankings come from that groundwork plus steady work after launch, which is what our SEO for contractors covers.

Doucet Landscaping does excavation and stonework in Halifax. They rank number one on Google for "excavation cost halifax" and have 62 five star Google reviews. You can read how Doucet got there.

Can my website show up in Google's AI answers?

It can, if it's built right. Google now puts AI Overviews at the top of a lot of searches. Those answers lean on websites that say clearly what a business does and where it does it.

PropertyWorx does exterior cleaning in the Annapolis Valley. They're named in Google's AI Overview for pressure washing in the Annapolis Valley. Their site is built the same way we build every site, with clear service pages, clear town pages and clean structure underneath. The full story is in the PropertyWorx case study.

We write and lay out your pages with this in mind before anything goes live. It's not a separate add on. It's just how the site is put together.

Do you build websites for contractors in Nova Scotia and the rest of Atlantic Canada?

Yes. RankWright is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and we work with contractors all over Atlantic Canada. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador.

Local matters out here. People search by town. Someone in Truro isn't typing the same thing as someone in Bedford or Moncton. A lot of national web companies don't get that, and they hand you a site that could belong to a contractor anywhere in North America. A website for contractors in Nova Scotia should have pages for the towns you actually drive to, written the way people there talk.

If you work in the city, we have a page just for web design in Halifax. Wherever you are, you deal with Hayden directly. No account managers, no call centre, no handing you off to someone you've never met.

How much does a contractor website cost?

Websites are quoted separately. A small site for a one truck outfit and a big site for a crew covering half the province are not the same job, so we look at what you do and where you work, then give you a straight number. Not a vague range followed by three sales calls.

Once the site is live, most contractors keep it working with one of our monthly programs. Get Found is $1,500 a month. Dominate is $2,500 a month. Market Leader is priced per market, since some markets take a lot more work than others.

There's no setup fee and no contract. It's month to month and you can cancel any time. You own the site, the domain and the files, so if you ever walk away, it all goes with you.

What do I need to have ready before we start?

Photos. The more real job photos you have, the better. Before and afters, machines on site, finished work, your truck with the name on it. Phone pictures are fine. Customers trust real work a lot more than a stock photo of a guy in a clean hard hat.

A list of what you do and where you do it. Every service you want more of and every town you want to work in. That list becomes the page structure, so it's worth a few minutes of thought. If there's work you're sick of doing, leave it off. The site should bring you more of the jobs you like, not more of the ones you dread.

Your logo, if you have one. If you don't, or it's looking tired, we do logo design too, so the truck, the site and the yard sign all match. Once we have the pieces, most local sites are live in a few weeks.

What's the next step if I want a better website?

Start with a free audit. We'll look at your current site and how you show up on Google, then tell you plainly what we'd fix first. No pressure and no pitch deck.

If you'd rather just talk it through, book a call or phone Hayden at (902) 292-5699. You'll get a straight answer on whether a new site makes sense for your business right now, or whether your money is better spent somewhere else first.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I own the website?
Yes. Your domain, your content, your site. If we ever part ways, it stays yours.
Can you redo my current site?
Often we can rebuild on what you have. We will tell you straight in the free audit whether a fresh build is worth it.
How long does it take?
Most contractor sites go live in a few weeks, depending on photos and content. We keep it moving.
Will my website work properly on a phone?
Yes. Every site we build is made to load fast on a phone, because that's where a lot of your customers will find you. Click to call sits on every page and the quote form is easy to fill out with a thumb, so a homeowner can reach you without pinching and zooming around a page built for a desktop.
Why do you build a separate page for every town?
Because people search by town. Someone in Dartmouth looking for a driveway isn't typing the same thing as someone in Wolfville. A page for each town you work in, and each service you offer, gives Google a clear match for each of those searches. One page that lists everything usually doesn't rank for much of anything.
Do you only build websites for Halifax contractors?
No. We're based in Halifax, but we build sites for contractors across Atlantic Canada, from Nova Scotia to New Brunswick, PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador. Wherever you are, you deal with Hayden directly from the first call to launch day. No account managers and no handoffs, just one person who knows your site.
