An outdated website costs you jobs
you never even hear about
Nobody calls to tell you they picked someone else. They just move on. Here's where it happens.
They Google you first
Before anyone requests an estimate, they look you up, usually right next to two or three other contractors. Your work might be the best of the bunch, but if their sites look current and yours doesn't, you're the one that looks less established. The comparison happens before you ever get the call.
It breaks on their phone
Most people who look you up do it from a phone, standing in the driveway of the project. If they have to pinch and zoom to find your number, a lot of them won't bother.
Your competitors upgraded
The contractor down the road with the clean, modern site looks bigger and more established than you, even if your work is better. That gap decides who gets the call.
People decide in seconds —
and they decide on your website
A dated or slow site doesn't just look bad. It quietly costs you the call before you ever hear the phone ring. The research is blunt.
Most visitors decide whether to stay or leave within the first 10 seconds. Miss that window and they're gone — usually for good.

not just look nice
Every build is designed around one goal: making it easy for the right client to contact you.
Modern design built for trades
Clean, credible, and built around your real work, your story, and your service area. No cookie-cutter template look.
Estimate request form built in
A clear call to action on every screen. Visitors can request an estimate in under a minute, and it lands straight in your inbox.
Flawless on phones
Designed mobile-first, because that's where your clients are. Tap to call, tap to request an estimate, no pinching.
Fast and Google-friendly
Hand-coded, so it loads in a blink. No bloated page builder slowing you down or hurting how you show up in search.
No monthly fees. You own it.
No Wix or Squarespace subscription forever. Hosting is set up free, and every file belongs to you. Your only cost is the domain, about $12 a year.
Launch and handoff included
Domain connected, email links wired, everything tested and live. You get a straightforward handoff, not a pile of loose ends.
Every request lands straight in your inbox
The moment a visitor hits send, the estimate request is on your phone and email — no portal to log into, no lead slipping through the cracks.
Building the site was never
the part that stops people
Most contractors who try this themselves don't give up because it's too hard. They give up because of everything nobody warned them about.
Doing it yourself
Or handing it to a nephew- ×Pick a platform, then learn the platform
- ×Write every word on every page from a blank screen
- ×Hunt for a logo file nobody can find the original of
- ×Work out why it looks right on the laptop and broken on a phone
- ×Set up the domain, the email records, and the estimate form
- ×Keep paying the monthly fee whether it brings you a job or not
- ×Start over next year when whoever built it stops answering
Handing it to me
One call, then a few texts- ✓One phone call about your business, about an hour
- ✓Text me photos of your work whenever you get a minute
- ✓I write the words. You tell me what I got wrong
- ✓I connect the domain and set up hosting, email, and the form
- ✓You look at the finished site and say yes or ask for changes
- ✓No monthly fee to me or to a platform, ever
- ✓You own every file, so any developer can pick it up later
You already do the hard part every day on the job. This shouldn't be another project on your plate. You should be able to hand it over, answer a few questions by text, and get a finished website back.
From first call to live site
in about a week
Three steps, and you approve the design before you pay the balance.
Discovery call
About an hour on the phone about your business: your services, your best jobs, your story, and what makes clients pick you. I collect everything I need on this call, so there's no form waiting on you afterward. You'll leave the call with your launch date.
Design & build
$150 starts the build. I design and hand-code the full site, then walk you through it. You request changes until it feels right. The rest is only due once you approve it.
Go live & handoff
Domain connected, forms tested, site live. You own every file, with no monthly fees to me or any platform. Need updates later? I'm one email away.
Three things you won't have to worry about
You won't be waiting on this for months. You get a launch date on our first call, and it goes in writing the same day. Seven days from the day I have your deposit and your information, your site is live. If something takes you a while to send over, the date moves back by that much and I'll tell you the new one. No guessing.
You won't get stuck with a site you don't like. Unlimited revisions right up to the day it goes live. No capped rounds, no extra charges.
You won't pay for something you haven't seen. $150 starts it. The balance is only due once you've looked at the finished site and approved it.
Need it sooner? 48-hour express build available for +$197.
The last trades site I built
is live in Akron
Here is the build and the thinking behind it.
Cramer Demolition
Cramer Demolition takes on demolition, cleanouts, and debris removal across Northeast Ohio. Their field coordinator has more than twenty years on job sites, and every project is reviewed by a licensed professional engineer. Most demolition crews do not have an engineer on staff, so that became the first thing you read on the homepage.
When I asked the owner which service she most wants to win jobs for, she did not say full teardowns. She said the small stuff: cleanup, debris handling, and disposal. The site was rebuilt around that answer, leading with small jobs and keeping the commercial teardowns further down the page for the people who need them.
It went live the same day we moved her domain off Squarespace, with the estimate form running straight to her inbox. No page builder, no monthly platform fee, and every file belongs to her.
What went into it
- Hand-coded, no CMS or page builder
- Estimate form straight to her inbox
- Built mobile-first for phone searches
- FAQ that explains pricing without quoting a number
- Structured data for Google, services and FAQ included
- Domain moved off Squarespace, $0 a month to host
Outside the trades · Dale Tha Barber Studio
Five stars on Google“I went with Ryan because he’s my client and per our conversations he was very knowledgeable and I respect his age and work ethic.”
Including work built outside the trades. More go up here as they launch.
Premium build.
Portfolio pricing.
Agencies charge $2,500 and up for a custom contractor website, and many bolt on monthly fees forever.
I'm building my portfolio of construction and trades sites in Northeast Ohio, which is why early clients get the same custom, hand-coded work starting at $500. As the portfolio fills, that number goes up. Getting in early is the deal.
The math is simple: one extra job usually covers the entire build — and then you own it for good.
- Flat project price, quoted up front. No surprises.
- $150 to start, the balance only when you approve the finished site.
Ryan Igamino
I build websites for the businesses that actually build things. Construction and trades companies around Northeast Ohio do excellent work and then get represented online by a site from 2010, or nothing at all. I fix that.
Every site is designed and coded by me personally. No templates dragged into a page builder, no outsourced team, no account manager between us. You talk to the person doing the work, which means faster answers and a site that actually sounds like your company.
I keep it simple: a fair flat price, a build measured in days not months, and a site you own outright when it's done.
Built for the trades
This works best for owners who fit most of these:
- You run a construction or trades business in Northeast Ohio
- Your current site is outdated, broken on phones, or doesn't exist
- You're proud of your work and want the web presence to match it
- You want more estimate requests, not a site that just sits there
Probably not the right fit if...
- You want a $50 template clone slapped up overnight
- You need a large e-commerce store or custom web app
- You'd rather manage a page-builder subscription yourself
- You're not able to share basics about your business and a few job photos
