FIELD GUIDE // WEBSITE STRUCTURE
A contractor website costs more or less depending on how much business structure the site has to carry, including pages, proof, service depth, capture paths and integration needs.
A useful website scope depends on what the site has to carry: services, proof, pages, answers, lead paths, integrations, and the level of structure needed for search.
Write down what your current site already answers and where a visitor still has to guess. Use those gaps to decide what to fix first.
Ask for a proposal that separates initial planning, writing, design and development from hosting, maintenance and later content updates. A low build quote and a recurring service quote are not comparable until both describe the same work.
A single service page may be enough for a focused business. Multiple distinct services or service areas need room for their own questions, proof and next steps. Page count matters because each page must help a real visitor make a decision—not because more pages automatically mean better results.
Give each vendor the same service list, existing-site link, available proof and desired lead path. Then ask each one to identify what is included, what depends on your team and what would be a separate change request.
Not until the proposals describe the same pages, writing, integrations, launch checks and ongoing support. Ask each vendor to separate included work from optional or recurring work.
Service depth, proof, page count, lead paths, integrations, existing content quality and search structure all affect scope.
Bring your service list, service areas, current site, available photos and reviews, and the way you want estimate requests handled. That gives every proposal a common starting point.
