Your Client Portal

No guessing how your painting company website is performing

Estimate requests tend to arrive while you’re up a ladder. Your client portal holds them, each one noting which page the customer was on. Visitors are charted month by month. Updates you’ve asked for, like a new gallery of finished rooms or a new service area, show their status. Your files and billing are in the same place, and a call with Patrick is one click.

How Our Pricing Works

Why pay too much for your painters web designer?

There is nothing to finance here. Your painting website costs $0 to build, then $95 a month for everything after that. The site is yours from the first month, not after two years of payments. Start generating project estimates and bookings on day one, and cancel any month you like.

How much do I pay today?

Nothing upfront

$0 to build. Design, words, illustrations, SEO, launch. Your first $95 is your first month, and you don’t pay a cent before your website is live and working for you.

Is it really one number?

One number, no tiers

No Basic, Pro or Business. The $95 covers the build, hosting, on-page SEO, unlimited updates, monthly reports and direct access to Patrick. There’s no plan above it, because there isn’t one.

Do I actually own it?

Yours from day one

Your domain, your design, your words, your data. The site belongs to you from the first month. Stay because you want to, not because you’re paying something off.

What if I want to leave?

Cancel any month

No contract, no lock-in, no exit fee. We have to earn it again every 30 days, which is exactly the point. Go ahead and press the button.

The Everything Plan$95 / month
ActiveCancelled

Go on, press it.

  • Contract to breakNone
  • Exit fee$0
  • Your site and filesStill yours

That’s it. That’s the whole cancellation.

Pricing

Try to find another painters web designer at these prices. Go ahead, we'll wait.

One exterior job covers years of payments. Get started and start showing up for the local searches that come from homeowners who are ready to book.

The Everything Plan

One plan, because you should not have to study a comparison table to buy a website. Every feature below is included from day one.

$95/month

$0 to build. No contract. Cancel anytime.

Your website is yours from day one.

A site built for you, not from a template

Imagine what you could accomplish with more than just a Home, About and Contact page.

Built for speed

Hand-coded and served from Cloudflare's edge, not a page builder dragging its own weight around. Fast on any phone, on any connection.

Custom illustrations

No junky stock photos or cookie cutter icons here.

Copywriting

Great copywriting is the difference between a website that sells and one that doesn't.

On-page SEO

Essentially this means making it as easy as possible for Google and AI to find you.

Custom lead forms

Forms that actually convert visitors into leads.

Easy analytics

Plain, simple, straightforward, valuable analytics anyone can read.

100's of local SEO pages

Local SEO requires hyper-local intent targeting. Almost every service-based business needs this!

Blog

Blogs are awesome if they are used authentically. The age of purely info-based content is over.

Social media integration

We can integrate your social media content directly into your website. Strategically, of course. We don't want visitors getting distracted!

Automated reviews management

Automatically add new reviews from review platforms (Google, Yelp, etc) directly into your website.

Online calendar bookings

Let visitors book meetings, sessions and appointments directly through your site.

Email newsletter integration

Email newsletters help turn your visitors into subscribers.

Automated legal policies

Your Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions are generated by Termly and updated as privacy laws change. Included, with nothing for you to maintain.

CRM integrations

We connect your forms to the CRM you already use: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho and most tools with a Zapier or API connection. A custom system gets its own scope.

Advanced integrations

Think Zapier, Airtable, n8n, etc...

Hosting

Not all hosting is created equal. If you want the Taco Bell of web hosting, Bluehost is waiting for you.

Unlimited Updates

Changes to hours, photos, text and services are included. Routine edits have a 72-hour target; larger requests get an agreed scope and completion date.

1-on-1 VIP support, direct with Patrick

No call centers, no offshoring, just your friendly neighborhood Patrick. Based in North America, native English speaker, and fluent in Spanish if that is easier for you.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about painters web design

Everything you want to know about getting a website built for your painting company.

Should I show painting prices on my website?

Show starting prices or ranges. 'Interior room from $400,' 'Exterior home from $3,500,' 'Cabinet refinishing from $1,200.' Gives homeowners a ballpark without locking you into firm quotes.

How do I get painting estimates from my website?

Free estimate form where people describe their project, upload photos, and provide square footage. Make it easy to request quotes and respond fast. Homeowners are calling 3-5 painters. Speed wins jobs.

Do I need before/after photos on my painter website?

Absolutely. Show actual completed projects, not stock photos. Homeowners want to see your quality, color transformations, and attention to detail. Organize by interior/exterior and room type.

Should I offer color consultation services?

Yes. Homeowners struggle with color choices. Offering color consultation (even for a small fee or free with paint job) is a differentiator that books jobs. Advertise it clearly on your website.

What builds trust on a painting website?

Reviews, licensing info, insurance coverage, and photos of your actual completed work (not stock images). Painting has plenty of fly-by-night operators. Prove you're professional and legitimate.

How important is mobile for painter websites?

Important. Homeowners browse painters on phones while getting estimates or planning projects. If estimate forms don't work on mobile or photos don't load, they request quotes elsewhere.

How do I compete with big painting franchises?

Franchises have overhead and corporate process. You're owner-operated with personal attention. Emphasize that the owner oversees jobs and quality control. Personal service beats franchise systems.

Should I show color consultation services?

If you offer it, absolutely. Many homeowners struggle with color choices. 'Free color consultation with every job' or 'Virtual color planning available' differentiates you from basic paint slappers.

Do I need to list paint brands I use?

Yes. Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr. Some homeowners care about paint quality and recognize premium brands. Listing brands you use signals quality.

How fast can I get painting estimates from my website?

Google Ads for '[city] painter' gets estimate requests immediately. For SEO, 60-90 days for local searches. Most painters run seasonal ads in spring when painting projects surge.
