 “If you don’t have a website, people don’t see you as a legitimate business” one contractor told us.  Of course, this seems like a basic need, but let’s dig a little deeper as to why you need a decent website. See the checklist below and see why it's important to have a great contractor website design today.

• Prospects want to see your work. – People who need work done need to get a sense of who they will be working with. If you have a terrible or unprofessional website, it reflects badly on your work – even though your actual work may be very good.
• It allows prospects to contact you. – And allows you to keep your prospects organized instead of getting buried in email. A contact form can write to a database of prospects and allows you to keep track of quotes and communication.
• It allows you to charge more for your work. – Wait! How does that work? Well, no matter what you do, if you have a professional image and pictures of your quality work, people are willing to pay more for that quality. If you don’t have a site that shows you are professional, then you will have a hard time charging what you are worth.
• It will help you sell to your best prospects. – Through asking the right questions on your contact form, you can quickly see if they will be the right prospect. If they are not a fit for your work, you can send them to someone else.
• It will put you on the map. – If you have a website and other valid info, and with a few other tweaks, you will show up on the Google “Map Pack”. A listing of businesses that offer services in the prospects area.
• You own it. – if you don’t own your sales channel and are at the mercy of a Facebook page or other social media to make your sales, you could be in trouble if your page “goes away”. You then may have no recourse and may lose your only channel of leads.

Checklist for a website today – must haves to be seen on Google in the near future

• It must be FAST. Google now requires a site to be fast loading or it will bump you down to a lower search page – never to be seen.
• It must be SECURE. It must have the HTTPS: on the first part of your web address. The S stands for Secure! Otherwise Google will not recommend it.
• It must be Mobile Friendly – If your website cannot be viewed properly on a mobile phone, Google will not recommend it.

 Additionally, we recommend these items as elements of a great website

• It must be easily editable to keep images and pages up to date with your latest content.
• It must capture leads. And automatically cut down on your prospecting workload.
• It must be Find-able. And show up on search engines for keywords related to your profession in your city.
• It must be modern looking and up to date. Prospects “bounce” from old dated websites.
