Canadian-owned & operated
Construction website design: Win the job before the site visit.
WebFoundry designs websites for general contractors, home builders and renovation companies across Canada. Your site is built free, you get a preview in 5 to 7 business days, then one flat plan from $187 a month plus applicable tax covers hosting, changes and getting found on Google. No contract.
Built around how homeowners hire a contractor.
A kitchen, an addition or a custom build takes weeks to decide, and the homeowner looks at three to five contractors online before anyone is invited in. Our construction website design shows your work first and puts a quote request one tap away.
Projects, not just a list
A page for each finished job: the scope, the area and the photos a homeowner scrolls for.
A page for each kind of work
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions and decks each get their own page. On Essential and Pro.
Every town you serve
City pages for your full service area, not only the town where your office is. On Essential and Pro.
Credentials in plain view
Insurance, WSIB or your provincial equivalent, licences and warranties where a nervous homeowner will see them.
Construction website design for people who sell a big, slow decision
A kitchen, an addition or a custom build is a decision that takes weeks. The homeowner looks at three to five contractors online before anyone is invited in. Your website is the first site visit, and it happens without you.
That changes what the site has to do. A plumber's site wins a phone call. A general contractor's site has to earn trust and answer the quiet questions: do you do my kind of project, have you done it near me, and what happens after I fill in the form.
WebFoundry builds that kind of site for general contractors, builders and renovators. It loads fast on a phone, shows your work first, and puts a quote request one tap away. Our contractor websites page covers every trade we build for.
What a general contractor's website needs
- 01
Projects, not just a services list
A page for each finished job: the scope, the area, the photos. This is the proof a homeowner scrolls for.
- 02
A page for each kind of work
Kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, decks and whole-home renovations each get a page, so each can show up for its own search.
- 03
Every town you serve
City pages for your full service area, not only the town where your office is.
- 04
Credentials in plain view
Insurance, WSIB or your provincial equivalent, licences, warranties and trade or builder association memberships, where a nervous homeowner will see them.
- 05
A short, honest quote form
It asks for the job type, the address area and a rough timeline, so you can tell a real project from a tire-kicker before you call back.
One page per job type.
Someone searching for a basement renovation and someone searching for a bathroom renovation are different buyers, so they land on different pages, each ending in the quote form.
- Kitchen renovations
- Bathroom renovations
- Basement finishing
- Additions
- Decks and porches
- Whole-home renovations
- Custom builds
Plus a page for every town: Toronto · Ottawa · Hamilton · Calgary …
How should a general contractor's website show past projects?
Show them as projects: a title, the town, what the job involved and a few real photos. Before and after pairs work well because they show what you changed, not only what it looks like now.
Use your own photos. Stock images of a kitchen tell a homeowner nothing about you. If you have a few good jobs and no photos, tell us at signup and we plan the page around what you do have.
Where a client has said yes, add their review next to the project it is about. A review of a basement next to the basement does more than a row of stars at the top of the page.
Renovation contractor websites: one page per job type
Renovation searches are specific. Someone looking for "basement renovation" and someone looking for "bathroom renovation" are different buyers with different budgets, so they should land on different pages.
On Essential and Pro we write a service page for each job you choose, and a city page for each area you serve. A typical renovator might start with:
- Kitchen renovations
- Bathroom renovations
- Basement finishing
- Additions and second storeys
- Decks and porches
- Whole-home renovations
Each page names the work, shows matching projects and ends in the quote form. Read more in why every trades contractor needs a website in a renovation boom.
Builders and growth areas
If you build in a fast-growing area, buyers and homeowners are comparing you with many others. For one example of how that looks in practice, see our guide to the construction boom in Oshawa, Whitby and Durham Region. Our regional pages cover Durham, Hamilton, Toronto, Barrie, London and Ottawa.
Do general contractors need to list every trade they hire?
No. A homeowner hires you to run the job, so the site is about what you deliver and how. You can mention that you coordinate trades without naming each one. If you do your own carpentry or finishing, say so, because that is a reason to pick you.
What a WebFoundry site does not do for you
A website will not win every quote. It will not replace your reputation, and it cannot make a thin portfolio look thick. What it does is make sure that when a homeowner searches, finds you and decides to check you out, they see work they trust and a way to reach you. The rest is your crew.
How it works
Tell us about your business in about five minutes: what you build, where, and how you want to be contacted. We build your site and send a private preview in 5 to 7 business days. You ask for changes, the site goes live on your domain, and the 14-day free trial runs while it brings in enquiries. Changes after that are made within 1 business day, by email or text.
Contractor website builder or done-for-you?
You are the web designer.
A DIY builder can work if you have the evenings to spare. You pick a template, write every page, edit your project photos, set up hosting and keep it current. The hours come out of your build season.
We do that part.
You send project photos and the basics, we build it. You work from our structure rather than a blank page, but you can still edit text, hours, services and photos yourself on every plan. We make changes you send by email or text within one business day.
Not sure which route fits? Questions to ask a web company before you sign covers it.
Plan the site around your renovation seasons
- Spring planning
- Summer build season
- Fall and winter interiors
Renovation work follows the calendar. Many homeowners start collecting quotes in spring for decks, additions and exterior work, and interior jobs such as kitchens, bathrooms and basements are often planned for the colder months. Those are the weeks people search, and the weeks before them are when your site has to be ready. Build before the busy period, not in the middle of it. Our guide on why every trades contractor needs a website in a renovation boom has more.
See how WebFoundry builds contractor sites
We do not have a general contractor demo yet. In the meantime you can see how we build a trade site, with service pages, a quote form and a call button, in the plumbing demo. It is a plumber's site, not a contractor's, and we say so.
How much does a contractor website cost?
WebFoundry general contractor websites are $187, $276, $364 a month plus applicable tax, in Canadian dollars. Tax is HST in Ontario (13%), or the tax for your province elsewhere in Canada. The build is free, there is no contract, and the plan is not charged for 14 days. The only upfront cost is your domain name, $15 + tax, one time. Essential is the first plan with service and city pages, which is where a renovator's job-type searches are won, and the gallery that shows your projects is on Essential and Pro. Full details are on the pricing page; for a longer breakdown read how much a website costs in Canada, and see what our website care plans include.

How much does a general contractor website cost?
With WebFoundry the build is free and the plan is $187, $276 or $364 a month plus applicable tax. Essential ($276) adds service and city pages and the photo gallery, which most renovators want. Hosting, SSL and backups are included on every plan. There is no contract, and a custom agency build usually costs far more up front.
Do you build websites for renovation contractors and home builders as well as general contractors?
Yes. The same plans cover general contractors, home builders, renovators and design-build firms. What changes is the content: a renovator gets a page for each kind of job, a builder gets project and community pages. You tell us what you build and where, and we shape the site around it.
Can I show my past projects on the site?
Yes. Each project gets its own page with the town, the scope and your photos, and the gallery is available on Essential and Pro. Use your own photos. If you only have a few, we plan the page around what you have, and you can add more later.
Do I need a page for each kind of renovation?
It helps. People search by job, such as basement finishing or bathroom renovation, and a separate page can answer each search. On Essential and Pro we write a page for each job type you choose, so you can start with the three or four that bring in the most work.
What credentials can I show?
Anything you hold and are willing to show: insurance, WSIB or your provincial equivalent, licences, warranties and trade or builder association memberships. You give us the details and we place them where a homeowner will see them. We do not add a badge you do not have.
Do you build contractor websites in Eastern Ontario?
Yes. We build for contractors across Canada, including Eastern Ontario towns such as Ottawa, Kingston, Belleville, Cornwall, Brockville, Pembroke and Peterborough. Your site can have a page for each town you serve. Our Ottawa page has local detail.
How fast can I get a general contractor website?
You get a private preview 5 to 7 business days after you sign up. Your site then goes live on your domain, and the 14-day free trial runs from signup. The plan is not charged for 14 days, and you can cancel before then.
Can I cancel?
Yes. There is no contract. Cancel any time in your dashboard or by emailing hello@webfoundry.ca. We send your content and images within 48 hours, your site stays online for 30 days, and then your data is deleted. You own your domain and all your content.
