Websites for Maine businesses, built by a Mainer.

Keep the Facebook page, and I’ll link to it. Plenty of customers aren’t on Facebook, and people who search your name on Google want your number, services, and hours one tap away. The website is where they land.

That’s the best kind. People who hear your name still look you up before they call. The site makes sure they find the right number, the towns you cover, and your hours.

Yes. I’ll build a sample replacement first. If it isn’t clearly better than what you have, keep what you have.

Nobody honest can promise that. What I can do is keep your Google listing complete and accurate, and give Google a clear page for every service and town you cover.

No. I start from your Google listing and ask you a few questions. If you have photos you like, great. If not, I use royalty-free photos or illustrations.

There isn’t one. If you like it, we talk about making it yours. If not, no hard feelings, and the sample comes down.

Yes, and I’d rather tell you up front. It means you get my full attention, not a spot in line behind 200 other clients. You don’t have to take my word for the quality either: I build your sample first, you look at it on your phone, and you only pay if you want it. That’s also why my first 3 clients skip the setup fee.

Almost certainly. A hiring page, financing info, before-and-after photos, a seasonal special, a price list, a map of where you work: tell me what you want and I’ll build it in. The sample is only a starting point, and the more you tell me, the more it fits how you actually work.

No. Hosting, updates, security, and your Google listing are all on me. You text or email me a change, and I make it. You run the business; I handle the online side.

Yes, that’s a big part of it. Google shows a business more often when it has a real website, and each service and each town you cover gets its own page, so someone searching “drain cleaning in Orono” can find you, not just people who already know your name. Your Google listing links to the site, and I keep both current. Nobody can honestly promise a spot at the top, and I won’t.

Yes, a simple one: $99 a month with a 6-month minimum, plus the $199 setup fee. After 6 months it’s month to month, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice. The first 3 clients don’t pay the setup fee as long as they stay the first 6 months. If you leave early, the only thing you owe is that setup fee; I never charge the months you didn’t use. Your web address and Google listing stay yours either way.

Maine trades and contractors: plumbing and heating, heat pumps, electricians, roofers, builders, excavation, septic and well drilling, tree work, and plowing and landscaping, from Bangor to the County. Run a different kind of local business? Ask, and I’ll tell you honestly if I’m a good fit.
