Websites for home-service businesses
A modern presence for your business, and less admin for your team
For owner-run trades businesses that get work by phone, referral and Google. We build the website, then set up what runs behind it: requests that reach the team straight away, review requests, hosting, your domain and your business email.
Built for the trades
Local businesses whose customers search, call and ask for a quote from their phone.
- Irrigation
- Landscaping
- Landscape lighting
- HVAC
- Plumbing
- Electrical
- Pool service
- Pest control
What’s included
It starts with a fast local website
Mobile-first pages for each service you offer, written in plain language with your real job photos, service area, hours and license. Static pages load quickly on a phone signal. Around the site, we set up four things.
01
Automation with CirqleSync
Every request from your site lands in one place and reaches your team straight away.
- A request form on your site with a “Service needed” list of your own services and an optional property address
- Each request becomes a lead in your own CirqleSync workspace
- An instant email to your team for every new request
- A contact record for each customer, with follow-up kept in CirqleSync
- A /review page for invoices, cards and QR codes: links to Google and Nextdoor, plus a private feedback form
02
Jobber integrationEarly access
If you run your jobs in Jobber, requests from your site do not need retyping.
- A website request creates the client, the property and the request in Jobber
- Coming with CirqleSync’s Jobber app: quote, job and invoice status shown back on the lead in CirqleSync
- Ask us on the intro call whether it fits how you run jobs
03
Backend setup
The technical work behind a site that loads fast, stays secure and is easy for search engines to read.
- Hosting on Vercel, in an account your business owns
- DNS set up and managed (for example on Cloudflare)
- Clean page addresses, with old links and www redirected to the right place
- Security headers on every page
- A sitemap, robots.txt and llms.txt for search engines and AI assistants
- LocalBusiness and FAQ structured data: your hours, license, services and address
- Analytics, and your Google Business Profile linked to the site
04
Domain and email setup
Your web address and your email, in your business’s name and set up properly.
- Your domain registered in your business’s name
- If an old web host holds your domain, we move it to an account you own
- Business email on Google Workspace, at your own domain
- MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, so your email is delivered and harder to fake
Pricing depends on your services, your pages and which parts you want, and is shared on a short intro call.
What changes for your team
Requests arrive complete
The form asks for the service, the property address and how to reach the customer, so the first call can be about the job.
Your team hears straight away
Each request is emailed to the team the moment it is sent, day or night, instead of waiting in a voicemail box.
One place for every lead
Requests, contacts and follow-up live in CirqleSync, not spread across inboxes, texts and notepads.
Reviews asked the same way every time
One /review link on every invoice and card, with a private route for feedback the customer would rather tell you directly.
How it works
01
Intro call
30 minutes about your services, your area, how jobs reach you today and the tools you already use. No charge.
02
Content & photos
We write the pages with you, using your own job photos and contact details.
03
Build & set up
We build the site, set up hosting, DNS, your domain and business email, and connect the request form, review page and Google profile.
04
Launch
Requests start arriving in CirqleSync with the service already filled in, and you get the review link to share.
Case study
Thompson Irrigation
- Family-owned, since 1986
- Marco Island, FL
- Irrigation and landscape lighting
Thompson Irrigation is a family-owned irrigation and landscape lighting company on Marco Island, Florida, serving the island since 1986. Digital Foundry designed and built thompsonirrigation.com and set up the request handling, hosting and business email behind it.
What we set up
Website
- A static, mobile-first site with pages for irrigation, landscape lighting, maintenance, about, FAQ, contact, review and privacy
- Real photos of Thompson’s own trucks and installations on the home, about and service pages
Automation with CirqleSync
- A service-request form on the home and contact pages, with a “Service needed” list and an optional property address
- Requests land in Thompson’s own CirqleSync workspace
- A /review page with Google and Nextdoor review links and a private feedback form; /reviews and older review addresses redirect to it
Jobber integrationEarly access
- Thompson is adopting Jobber. Sending its website requests into Jobber is the next step, through the early-access hand-off.
Backend setup
- Hosting on Vercel, in a team Thompson owns
- DNS on Cloudflare, with www redirecting to thompsonirrigation.com
- Security headers, a sitemap, robots.txt and llms.txt
- LocalBusiness and FAQPage structured data with the company’s hours, license and mailing address
Domain and email setup
- Business email on Google Workspace, with MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records in the same DNS zone
- The domain is being moved off the legacy web host to an account in the business’s name
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost?
It depends on how many services and pages you need and which parts of the package you want. We share pricing on a short intro call, before you commit to anything. Book a consult to set up the call.
How long does it take?
Most of the time goes into gathering your photos and service details. We give you a timeline on the intro call, once we know how many pages you need.
Who owns the website and the domain?
You do. The domain, the hosting account and the site files are set up in your business’s name.
Do we keep our domain?
Yes. You keep the web address customers already know. If it is registered through an old web host or someone else’s account, we move it to an account in your business’s name.
Do you set up our email?
Yes. We set up business email on Google Workspace at your own domain, with the MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records that help your email reach inboxes and make it harder for others to send mail as you.
What if we already have a website?
We can replace it. We bring over what still works, such as your service descriptions and photos, and redirect the old page addresses so links and bookmarks keep working.
What is CirqleSync?
CirqleSync is a Digital Foundry product. On your site it runs the request and feedback forms: each submission emails your team and becomes a lead with a contact record, kept in one place. Learn more at cirqle.cards.
Do I need Jobber?
No. Requests land in CirqleSync and reach your team by email either way. If you run your jobs in Jobber, the Jobber hand-off is in early access: a request from your site can create the client, the property and the request there. Ask us on the intro call whether it fits.
Will this get me to the top of Google?
Nobody can promise rankings. We build the things search engines look for: fast pages, clear service and area content, structured data, and a Google profile that links to your site and collects reviews.
Can I use photos from my own jobs?
Yes, and we recommend it. Real photos of your crew, trucks and finished work tell customers more than stock images.
