Websites for handymen
The to-do list is endless. Make sure it's your number they find.
Every house has a list of little jobs nobody gets round to, and a good handyman website puts you at the top of that list. I build websites for handymen and property maintenance businesses that show the range of what you do, make it easy to send you a job, and look great on a phone. I build it first; you only pay $499 if you love it.

What a good handyman website needs

A clear list of what you do (and don't)
Handyman covers a lot. Spell it out: doors, shelves, patching, flat-pack, gutters, fences. And be clear on what you leave to licensed trades, so you get the right calls.
Send a job list in one go
Customers often have five small jobs, not one big one. A simple form where they can list jobs and add photos helps you price a half-day or full-day visit.
Before-and-after photos
A patched wall, a rehung door, a tidied-up deck. Small jobs look impressive in before-and-after shots from your own phone.
How you charge
Hourly, half-day, call-out fee or fixed price per job: say how it works. People are far more likely to book when they're not guessing.
Trust for people letting you in
You're working inside people's homes. Your photo, your name, insurance details and real Google reviews go a long way, especially with older customers.
Property managers and landlords
If you do rental maintenance, say so and make it easy for agents and landlords to send work orders. They can become steady, repeat customers.
Free tools I can build for your customers
Every site I build gives your customers something useful for free, so they stay, trust you and call.
Job list builder
Customers tick the small jobs they need done and add photos, and you get a tidy list to estimate the time and price the visit.
Home maintenance checklist
A seasonal checklist for homeowners, like cleaning gutters, testing smoke alarms and checking sealant around wet areas, that brings people back to your site and reminds them who to call.
End-of-lease repair checklist
A handy list for tenants and landlords of the common fixes before an inspection, such as patching holes, loose handles and sticking doors, with a button to book you in.

Two-minute form or a quick call. Send your Facebook, Instagram or Google listing and I'll grab your photos, reviews and logo.
Try your new site on your phone
I send a private preview link within 24 to 48 hours. Ask for changes until it's right.
Love it? $499, once
Then I put it live on your own web address. Don't love it? Walk away. You owe nothing, no deposit taken.
Common handyman website mistakes (I fix these)
- "No job too small" and nothing else: no list of what you actually do.
- No idea how you charge, so people don't bother asking.
- No photos of real jobs, or just one blurry shot of a toolbox.
- No easy way to send a list of jobs with photos.
- Nothing that tells a customer they can trust you in their home.
What it costs
Every website is custom built and costs $499, including GST. Then pick how you want it looked after.
Done for you most popular
I put it live, host it and look after it, and refresh it every month, 12 times a year, with your latest job photos, newest Google reviews and any changes you email in. Setup free. No lock-in.
On your hosting
I build it and load it onto hosting you already pay for (I check it'll work first).
Files only
I build it and send you every file. You put it online yourself.
Need a logo? $149 for 10 options. Extras (like another page) are $50 each. More answers.
Questions people ask
How much does a handyman website cost?
$499 once, including GST. Add $99 to have it loaded onto your own hosting, or go "Done for you" at $39 a month for hosting, management and a monthly refresh, with free setup and no lock-in.
How long does it take?
You'll get a private preview link within 24 to 48 hours. Try it on your phone, tell me what to change, and we go live once you're happy.
Do I need a domain or hosting?
You buy your own web address in your own name, for example at VentraIP. I do the technical setup, which takes about 30 minutes of your time. Hosting is included on the "Done for you" plan.
Will my handyman website show on Google?
I build it so Google can read it: fast, with proper titles, your business details marked up and your service areas listed. That helps you get found locally. Nobody can honestly promise the top spot, and your Google reviews count for a lot.
What about licences? Should they go on the site?
If you hold a licence, show it. Each state sets its own limit on how big a job can be before a builder's or trade licence is needed, so it's worth being clear about the work you do and don't take on. I'll put whatever you tell me on the site.
Can the site handle property managers sending me work?
Yes. I can add a simple work-order form for agents and landlords, with property address, tenant contact and photos, so the jobs arrive with everything you need.
See yours before you spend a cent
Two minutes to ask. A private preview in 24 to 48 hours. $499 only if you love it.
