Any contractor. This corner of the map.
If you run a roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, remodeling, painting, or concrete business in Delafield, Hartland, Oconomowoc, Pewaukee, Wales, Nashotah, or Waukesha, this is built for you. Someone searches for what you do, and either you show up looking credible or they call the next name.
Most contractors searching for a website designer in Lake Country, WI end up choosing between a national template mill and a Milwaukee agency priced for Milwaukee clients. I’m the third option: Waukesha County web design done by one person who lives here, with pricing you can read before we ever talk.

$2,500 to build it, waived through Oct 21. $97 a month to keep it working.
The price is fixed and published, not invented on the spot once someone hears how the truck out front looks. For context, here's what a contractor website around here actually costs:
A templated build: a theme flipped on Wix or WordPress with your logo dropped in. Cheap to start, and it usually shows. The profile, listings, and tracking are rarely included.
A custom build from a regional agency, one time, often with a separate monthly retainer quoted after the fact for anything ongoing.
Run, mine. A website built for your trade to make the phone ring, your Google Business Profile done to the same standard I sell as a standalone tune-up, the listings that matter (Google, Facebook, Apple Maps, Bing), forms that email you the moment a lead lands, and a lead inbox, wired in from day one. Missed-call text-back and follow-up are on Grow. The $2,500 implementation is waived for plans started by October 21, 2026.
“Affordable web designer in Wisconsin” usually means cheap up front and expensive to escape. I’d rather be honest in the middle: the $2,500 implementation waived through Oct 21, one published price after, and nothing bolted on later at a surprise rate. Both plans, including Grow for contractors who want more of the monthly work handled, are on the plans page. If you want to see the range of what I build first, there are 50 site designs in the gallery.
What the $97 covers. And what happens if you stop paying.
Website maintenance cost is the line every agency mumbles through. Mine isn't maintenance, and it isn't hosting you already pay $8 a year for, relabeled and marked up. It's me continuously finding and fixing the problems that keep customers from finding, trusting, and contacting you. Itemized:
Monitoring
I watch the site and everything wired into it. If something stops your phone ringing, I'm on it the same day.
Recurring audits
The same audit that starts the trial keeps running after it. When how you show up in search or AI answers slips, I catch it before you hear about it from a slow month.
Profile updates, approved by you
Google Business Profile changes as your business changes: hours, photos, services. Nothing ships until you've said yes to it.
Missed-call text-back and instant form reply
A call you can't take on the roof still gets a text back. A form gets an instant reply, day or night. No lead sits waiting.
Two changes a month
New photos, holiday hours, a price change, a new page. Two content or profile changes a month, handled by text. No ticket portal.
Verification after every fix
Nothing gets marked done because I pushed a button. I check that each fix actually worked, and the check goes in your report.
A proof-of-work report
One page a month: what I found, what I fixed, what I verified, plus weekly office hours. Not 40 charts designed to look busy.
And if you stop paying? You keep everything. The site, the domain, the profile, the content. It’s month to month, so stopping is an email, not a negotiation. The monthly work stops and your site keeps running on your accounts.
If this goes sideways, that's on me, not you.
Most web design contracts are built so leaving hurts. The site lives on the agency’s platform, the domain sits in their account, and the day you cancel is the day you find out what you actually owned. Mine works the other way, in writing:
- You own everything. Your domain, your listings, your ad accounts, and your content live in your accounts, in your name. Your code, your data, and your phone number are yours by contract and transfer on request, and the continuity kit you get at go-live shows your next developer exactly how. Walk away whenever you want and you keep all of it.
- If something I built misses the scope we agreed to, I fix it at no extra charge, full stop. And every system gets its first 30 days of tuning included, measured against the goal we set together before I built it. You just answer your calls and send me your photos.
No testimonials. Just things you can click.
No quotes next to stock photos. Live builds you can open and run through any speed test you like, with the numbers from my last run printed next to them, plus the audit tool itself: 20+ real checks on any site in about a minute, whether or not you ever hire me.
- SEWI Claims
Public adjuster, southeast Wisconsin. Site, intake, and payments on their own domain.
Mobile Lighthouse performance 99. Largest content paints in 0.8 seconds. Layout shift 0.
- Oosht
Live-event AV company. Build in progress on a preview domain, not a finished client site. Homepage sequence is drawn as SVG instead of a hero video, so it loads on a phone in a parking lot.
Mobile Lighthouse performance 92. Largest content paints in 1.6 seconds.
- Tanner Preserve AV
My own AV tools site: 146 calculators, a venue directory, and a 3D previz of real ballrooms.
206 indexable routes generated from one data spine. Same engine the contractor sites run on.
Fourteen days of trial. Then the honest part.
Start the trial
Card on file, nothing charged for 14 days. Tell me about your trade and your service area and I get to work on the site.
Build
I write the copy from what you tell me and you approve it before anything ships. Google Business Profile, listings, and tracking get wired in alongside the site.
Live
Site, Google Business Profile, listings, analytics, all live on accounts you own. If something I built misses the scope we agreed on, I fix it at no charge.
Rankings move
Google takes its time recognizing good work. Reviews and map visibility move in weeks. Organic rankings move in months. Anyone promising page one by a date is guessing.
A fuller walkthrough of every step, including what you do and what I do at each one, lives on the how-it-works page.
Actually based in Delafield. Not “serving” it.
Plenty of agencies list Delafield on a service-area page they’ve never driven through. I live here. I know which businesses come up when you search from a phone on Main Street, because I’ve run those searches from Main Street. When your Google profile says Nagawaukee and means Nashotah, I’ll catch it.
It also means you’re not a ticket number. If something needs a conversation, we can have it over coffee in town instead of a video call with an account manager who inherited your file last Tuesday.

Should you just use Wix, Squarespace, or ChatGPT?
If you’re testing a brand-new business idea, if your budget is truly a few hundred dollars, or if all you need is an online business card with your hours and phone number, build it yourself. Squarespace at $25 a month is a fine answer for that, and so is a page ChatGPT helped you write. I’d rather tell you that here than have you start a trial to solve a problem you don’t have. My audit even includes fix-it-yourself steps for exactly this reason.
DIY breaks down when the website has a job to do. The site itself is maybe a third of the work. The Google Business Profile, the listings, the missed-call text-back, the analytics that prove any of it worked: that’s the part template builders skip and ChatGPT can’t click through for you. If you’ve got a Wix site that isn’t producing, the honest comparison is in my DIY vs. hiring guide. And if you’re shopping designers, here’s how to vet any of us, me included.
The questions buyers actually ask.
How much does a website cost for a contractor in Wisconsin?
Around here, templated builds usually run $400-$2,000 and custom builds run about $2,000-$6,500, both one time and before any ongoing management. Mine is built during a 14-day trial, the $2,500 implementation waived for plans started by October 21, 2026, then $97 a month for Run, and that's the only number, published on this page.
What does the $97 a month actually cover?
Monitoring on the site and everything wired into it, recurring audits of how you show up in search, Google Business Profile updates you approve before they ship, missed-call text-back and instant form reply, two content or profile changes a month handled by text, verification after every fix, and a one-page proof-of-work report every month plus weekly office hours. It's month to month, no contract.
Do I own my website, or do you?
You do. The site lives on your hosting, the domain is registered in your name, and the login credentials are yours from day one. I build it, you own it, and that's in the agreement, not just on this page.
What happens if I want to leave or stop paying?
You keep everything: the site, the domain, the Google profile, the content, the analytics. There's no contract to escape and no cancellation department, just an email. Only want the website kept up? Run is $97 a month.
Can't I just build it myself on Wix or have ChatGPT do it?
Sometimes, honestly, yes. If you need an online business card and have a free weekend, Wix or Squarespace will do the job for under $30 a month. Where DIY falls apart is everything around the site: the Google Business Profile, the listings, the schema, the tracking, and the upkeep after. That's the part you're actually paying for once the trial ends.
How long until my site is live?
Built during the 14-day trial. That covers the parts I control: the site, the profile, the listings. What I don't control is Google, and rankings take months no matter who builds the site.
Will my business actually show up on Google?
The build gives Google everything it needs to find you: a fast site, a complete Business Profile, consistent listings, and proper schema. Reviews and map visibility usually move within weeks. Organic rankings take months, and anyone who promises page one by a certain date is guessing or lying. I'd rather tell you that now.
I already have a website, can you redesign it instead of starting over?
Yes, on your existing domain, and you keep that domain and its history, which matters for search. Start the trial and I'll tell you plainly whether your current site is worth keeping or replacing before anything changes.
Do you only work with certain trades?
Run is built for contractors: roofing, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, remodeling, painting, concrete. Any contractor anywhere can start the trial online, and Grow layers on the monthly agent work once you're ready for more of the work off your plate.
Can we meet in person if I'm in the Delafield area?
Yes. I live and work in Delafield, so coffee in town or a visit to your shop is a normal way to start. Book fifteen minutes and we'll pick a spot, or run the audit first so we have something concrete to look at.
Start the trial. The $2,500 implementation is waived.
Card on file, nothing charged for 14 days. If you'd rather start with a person, book fifteen minutes and I'll check your current site live against the competitors actually beating you.
Delafield first. Then Lake Country. Then Waukesha County.
