Contractors and local trades

Websites that make the phone ring.

Built for roofers, landscapers, remodelers and the trades. One flat price, no monthly fee, live in five days. Every site I have ever built is below, live and clickable, because a portfolio you cannot open is not a portfolio.

Elgin, Illinois. You talk to the person who builds it.

The work

All 192 of them. Open any one.

Most shops in this space show you five case studies. This is the whole shelf, across 14 trades and 89 towns. Straight with you: these are builds, not client logos I am borrowing. Judge the work, not the pitch.

Price

One fee. You own it.

The going rate in contractor web design is a monthly retainer, which means you are renting your own website and it disappears the month you stop paying. I do not work that way.

What it costs
$795 one time
  • No monthly fee and no contract. Pay once, the site is yours.
  • You own the files and the domain. Nothing is held hostage.
  • Live in about five business days from the day I have your photos.
  • Revisions until it is right. I would rather fix it than close it.
  • Hosting handled, or hand it to whoever you already use.

What the market charges

Retainer shops, standard site$1,000 / mo
Retainer shops, custom site$2,000 / mo
Same site, first year$12,000+
Mason Web Works, first year$795

Those are published monthly rates from agencies serving this trade, not estimates. The difference is not the code. It is that a retainer keeps charging you after the work is finished.

What you get

Built for how people actually find you.

Your traffic is somebody standing in a driveway with a phone, deciding whether to call you or the next name down. Every decision here serves that moment.

Phone first, not phone friendly

The mobile layout is the real design, not a squeezed desktop. Click to call in the header and a call bar that stays on screen while they scroll.

A quote form people finish

Two steps. It gives a ballpark before it asks for a phone number, so the visitor gets something before they give something.

Your reviews up top

Your Google rating and review count sit above the fold, where they change the call decision, instead of buried on an about page.

Found in your own town

Service area sections, local business schema and clean meta, so the map listing and the site tell Google the same story.

Fast, because it is plain HTML

No page builder, no plugin stack, nothing to keep patched. It loads before the impatient thumb leaves.

Readable by anyone

Real contrast, keyboard navigation, text that scales. Built to be usable, and it helps you in search as a side effect.

How it runs

Four steps, about a week.

You tell me about the business

Twenty minutes on the phone. What you do, where you work, what you want the phone to ring for.

I build it and send a live link

Not a mockup, not a PDF. A working site you can open on your phone and hand to your wife.

You tell me what is wrong

Photos, wording, colors, whatever. Revisions until you are happy, not until a quota runs out.

It goes live on your domain

I handle the DNS and the hosting setup. You pay once and the site is yours.

Questions

The ones I actually get.

Why is this so much cheaper than everyone else?

Two reasons, and neither is a catch. I am one person, not an agency with account managers and an office. And I have built this same kind of site 192 times, so the parts I would otherwise rebuild from scratch already exist. You are paying for the build, not for somebody's overhead.

Do you have clients I can call?

Not yet, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Mason Web Works is new. What I can give you instead is every site I have built, live, above, so you can judge the work directly rather than take a reference's word for it. If that is not enough, that is a fair call to make.

What happens if I want changes next year?

Small edits, send them over and I do them. If you want a bigger rework later, we price that then. There is no plan you have to be on for me to pick up the phone.

Do I have to move my domain or my email?

No. The site can point at a domain you already own and your email keeps working exactly as it does now. If you would rather I handle the domain too, I can.

What do you need from me to start?

Photos of your actual work, your service area, your phone number, and twenty minutes to talk. If the photos are on your phone, that is fine, phone photos are what these sites are built around.

Who actually does the work?

I do. Vlad Protsenko, out of Elgin, Illinois. The person you talk to is the person building it, and nothing gets handed to a stranger.

Want to see yours before you decide?

Tell me your trade and your town and I will show you what it would look like. No call required, no card, and if you do not like it we both move on.
