What this build puts first
What changes for painters.
What should a painting contractor’s website include?
A painting website wins the estimate by explaining the difference between bids: prep spelled out step by step, products and coats named, typical prices, a written warranty, lead-safe work on homes built before 1978, and help choosing color. I build that for $1,999 flat, live in seven days.
The rest is the same on every build: design, copy, scheduling, search, a year of hosting and edits, and a site you own. It’s all on the services page, and the money is on pricing.
Three bids
Write the page that explains the difference.
Painting bids vary by thousands for the same house, and the difference is almost always prep. A page that lists exactly what your prep includes, and the questions to ask every bidder, wins jobs you’d otherwise lose on price.
Old houses
Lead-safe isn’t optional, so say you do it.
Federal rules require any paid contractor disturbing paint in a home built before 1978 to be an EPA-certified firm using lead-safe practices. Many homeowners don’t know that. The ones with young children do, and they choose the painter who explains it.
Certified firm
Your certification, stated plainly.
What it looks like
Sheeting, wet scraping, HEPA cleanup, verification.
Color
Help them choose the color.
Color is where homeowners get stuck and where good painters become trusted advisors. A local palette, a note on samples, and, in historic districts, how the approval process works.

Questions
What painters ask first.
01How much does a painting contractor website cost?
$1,999 flat, one time, with design, copy, software integration, launch and twelve months of hosting and edits included.
02What should a painter’s website include?
Your prep process in detail, the products you use, typical prices, a warranty, lead-safe certification for older homes, and real photos of your work.
03Should I explain lead-safe practices?
Yes, if you paint homes built before 1978. Federal rules require certified firms and lead-safe practices, and parents of young children look for it.
04Can customers send photos for an estimate?
Yes. A photo upload on the estimate form lets you pre-qualify jobs and come prepared.
05How long does it take?
Seven days from the form to a live site.
