Websites and booking for trades and home services
We build sites for painters, contractors, cleaners, landscapers and HVAC crews in the GTA. A customer gets a price range and books a time you have free, and every quote and job lands in one list you can run from your phone.
A 30-minute call, then a written scope and a fixed price. Nothing is billed until you agree to it.

Where leads get lost
A homeowner wants a quote on a Saturday afternoon. You are up a ladder, so the call goes to voicemail, and by Monday they have booked whoever picked up.
-
Pricing by text
The leads you do catch take days of texting to settle on a price.
-
A schedule on paper
The schedule lives in a notebook that double-books itself.
-
No record of past jobs
When a new customer asks what your work looks like, there is nothing on hand to show them.
What we build
A site for a trades business can include any of these parts. We scope it to the ones you need.
-
Online estimates
A form that asks the questions you would ask on the phone (property type, rooms or surfaces, scope, prep work) and gives a price range on the spot. Small jobs can be quoted without a site visit. Larger ones book a visit instead.
-
Booking and scheduling
Customers pick from times you actually have open, and the job goes straight onto your calendar, so two people cannot book the same Saturday and nobody has to call back to confirm a time.
-
Customer accounts
Homeowners, landlords and property managers log in to see past and upcoming jobs, download invoices and pay a deposit. Repeat clients book the next job without filling everything in again.
-
A dashboard for the owner
Every quote, booking and job in one list. Update the status, assign a crew, send an invoice and mark the job done, from a phone on a job site.
-
Before and after photos
Your own work, sorted by type of job, so people deciding whether to call you can see what you do.
-
Fast pages and local search
Most of your leads find you on a phone, often on mobile data in a driveway. Pages are built to load quickly and to show up in search for the areas you work in.
What it costs
The price depends on how the estimate works, whether you take deposits, and how many kinds of job you run. These are the ranges we quote from.
| Project | What it includes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Your services, the areas you cover, before and after photos, and pages built for local search. Customers reach you by phone or a contact form. | $3,000 to $10,000 |
| Website with online quotes or booking | Everything above, plus an estimate form or a booking calendar that puts jobs on your schedule. | $6,000 to $15,000 |
| Booking platform | Customer accounts, deposits and payments, invoices, and a dashboard for quotes, bookings and crews. | From $15,000 |
After a 30-minute call you get a written scope and a fixed price.

Questions
I am losing leads after hours and on weekends. Does this fix that?
That is what it is for. The estimate form and the booking calendar work at any hour, so a homeowner who finds you at 9 pm on a Saturday gets a price range and books a slot instead of leaving a voicemail you return on Monday, after they have called someone else. You start the week with the details of each lead in your dashboard.
I quote everything by hand right now. Will an online quote replace that?
For straightforward jobs, yes. The estimate form asks the same questions you would ask on the phone and returns a range on the spot, and for smaller jobs that range can be the final quote. For bigger or unusual jobs it collects the details and books a site visit, so you only spend time quoting the work that needs you to see it.
I am not technical. Can I actually run the admin side myself?
Yes. Each button in the dashboard does one job, and it works on a phone. If you can use your banking app, you can run it.
What does a booking and quote site like this cost?
In our pricing, a site with an estimate form or a booking calendar is a site with one working feature, at $6,000 to $15,000. A full booking platform with customer accounts, payments and a job dashboard is a web application, from $15,000. After a short call we send a fixed price in writing, before any code is written.
Should I just use an off-the-shelf booking tool instead?
Often, yes, and we will tell you when an existing tool fits and saves you money. A custom build starts to pay off when the estimate, the deposit and the way you run jobs are specific to your trade and a generic scheduler cannot follow them. Our Journal has a plain-English article on building versus buying, so you can decide before you spend.
