How much does a contractor website cost?
What Sacramento contractors actually pay for websites in 2026 — from freelancers to agencies to flat-fee platforms.
There is no single answer to what a contractor website costs. There are four honest ranges, depending on who builds it. Here they are.
DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy): $200–$500/year
Cheap, but you build it yourself. Most contractor DIY sites look amateur, load slowly, and rank poorly. Fine for a hobbyist. Not for a real business.
Freelance web designer: $1,500–$5,000 one-time
You get a decent-looking site. What you don't get: ongoing edits (they'll charge $75/hr), SEO (extra), hosting (extra), or someone answering the phone in 2027 when it breaks.
Marketing agency: $5,000–$15,000 build + $500–$2,000/month
Full-service, but expensive. Most Sacramento contractors doing under $2M in revenue can't justify the cost. Agencies also tend to bundle things you don't need.
Flat-fee platform (HaliWeb): $79/month, no setup
This is the model most small-to-mid Sacramento contractors are moving to. Build, hosting, SEO, edits, support — all included. No surprise bills. Cancel anytime. It's the option that makes the math work.
The real question isn't cost — it's ROI
A single Sacramento kitchen remodel is $45k+. A single roof replacement is $18k+. If your website generates one extra lead per month, ANY of these options pays for itself. The question is which one you'll actually stick with. Flat-fee wins on that alone.
