Websites for Louisiana contractors and home builders
Vexil Studio builds websites for contractors, home builders and trades across Louisiana. The site is built around your finished work and a quote form that collects enough detail to price a job without a phone call.
You describe the business by email and get a fixed price back. A call is available if you want one. No hourly billing.
What a contractor website actually has to do
Nobody hires a builder because of the copy. They hire because of the photos and because the site answered their question.
The gallery is the sale
Photographs of finished work convince people. A paragraph about quality craftsmanship convinces nobody, because every competing site says exactly the same sentence.
The form has to price the job
Scope, timeline, rough budget, the address, and photos of the problem. Collect that and you can quote by email. Collect a name and a phone number and you have bought yourself a phone call instead.
Your licence number goes up front
Not buried in the footer in six-point grey. It is one of the first things a homeowner looks for and one of the easiest ways to separate yourself from whoever is working out of a truck.
Name the towns you cover
Searches for work like yours are overwhelmingly local. If the parishes and towns you actually serve are not written in plain text on the page, you will not turn up in them.
A finished example you can open
Terrebonne Built is a custom home builder in Baton Rouge. It is a complete, working site — not a picture of one. Open it, use it, look at it on your phone.
Open Terrebonne Built See all fourteen styles
Terrebonne Built is an invented business, built to demonstrate the style. It is not a client.
Two that are real
The demos are invented. These two are live and serving actual visitors right now.
Redstick Strategies
A live business site, built and deployed.
The Adventurist’s Log
A content site running at real scale with its own tools.
What every build includes
These are not upgrades. They are in every demo above — open one on your phone and check.
Works on a phone
Designed for the small screen first, because that is where nearly everyone will see it.
Loads fast
Hand-written pages with no page-builder bloat behind them. Nothing to slow it down.
A way to reach you
A contact form, your phone number, your hours — whatever the way in should be.
Findable
Page titles, descriptions and structure set up so search engines can read the site properly.
Usable by everyone
Real contrast, keyboard navigation, and text that scales. Some customers need it; everyone benefits.
Yours to keep
Plain files on your own domain. No platform lock-in and no monthly rent to me for hosting.
What it costs
Most sites land between $900 and $2,400. A one-page site and a six-page site with online booking are not the same job, so every one is quoted on its own — but that band covers nearly everything. Sites with real functionality behind them, like booking with deposits or live availability, start at $5,000.
Send the form describing what you need and you get a fixed number back by email — and if it is not a job I can do well, I will tell you that instead.
Questions
Will the site let people request a quote?
Yes, and it is worth building it properly. A form that asks for scope, timeline, budget range and photos lets you send a real number back by email. A form that only takes a name and number just converts a website visit into a phone call you then have to make.
Can I show my licence and insurance on it?
Yes. Send me your licence number and whatever you are required or want to display, and it goes on the site. I will only put up what you give me. I do not write claims about licensing or insurance on your behalf.
How much does a contractor website cost?
It is quoted per project. A five-page site showing your work is a different job from one with a full project archive and a detailed quote system. Describe what you need in the form and you get a fixed number back, with no hourly billing behind it.
How many projects should I show?
Fewer than you think, chosen well. Eight projects with good photographs and a sentence about what the job involved beats forty thumbnails. If the photography is weak, that is worth fixing before the website is.
Do I have to meet with you?
Not unless you want to. It runs by email by default — you describe the business, I send a fixed price, and if you go ahead I build it. If you would rather walk through a job on the phone, say so and we will set up a call.
Do you only work in Louisiana?
No. Louisiana is home and most of the demo businesses are set there, but the whole process runs by email, so where you are makes no practical difference. I have built for clients I have never been in the same room as.
