For trades & home services businesses
Web Design & Digital Services for Trades Businesses in BC
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, roofers, general contractors — we build lead-generating websites, automate your quoting and invoicing, and make sure you show up when local homeowners search for your services.
The problems we see most often
You're not showing up when locals search for your service
Most homeowners searching for a plumber, electrician, or contractor on Google never scroll past the first three results. If you're not there — in search results and on Google Maps — you're invisible to the majority of your potential market.
Your competitors look more professional online, even if you're better
A polished website with photos, reviews, and clear services creates immediate trust. If your site is generic or outdated — or doesn't exist — prospects choose the competitor who looks more established, even when your work is better.
Quoting, scheduling, and follow-up eat your evenings
Between job sites and customer calls, the admin work — building quotes, scheduling follow-ups, sending invoices — runs after hours. Every hour of admin time is an hour not on tools or with your family.
You're not collecting reviews systematically
Happy customers rarely leave reviews without a nudge. Unhappy ones often do. Businesses that systematically ask for Google reviews build a compounding advantage — more reviews drive more search visibility, which drives more calls.
How Digital Vancouver is different
Local search expertise
We build trades websites specifically optimized for local search — service area pages for every city you cover, Google Business Profile integration, structured data, and the technical SEO that gets you into the Map Pack.
Mobile-first, because your customers are on their phones
When a homeowner has a leak at 9pm, they're searching on their phone. Your site needs to load instantly, show your number prominently, and make it easy to contact you in under 10 seconds.
Lead capture that works while you're on the job site
We build quote request forms, emergency contact flows, and automated follow-up sequences so every lead gets a response — even when you're two floors up with no time to check your email.
Services tailored for your needs
Web Design & Development
From $1,000+
A trades website needs to do one thing above all else: convert local search traffic into phone calls and quote requests. We build fast, mobile-optimized sites with service area pages for every city you work in, before/after photo galleries, review integrations, and clear calls to action — built on a platform you can update without calling a developer.
- Service area pages for every Lower Mainland and BC city you cover
- Before/after project galleries that build trust before they call
- Online quote request form with automated acknowledgement
- Google reviews integration front and centre
- Click-to-call button prominent on every mobile page
- Google Business Profile optimization included
Quoting & Business Automation
From $2,500
The biggest time drain for most trades businesses is the admin work between jobs — building quotes, following up on leads, sending invoices, requesting reviews. We automate these workflows so they happen automatically, reducing hours of evening admin to minutes.
- Automated follow-up sequences for quote requests that go quiet
- Invoice triggers when a job is marked complete
- Automated Google review requests sent to every closed job
- Lead routing to the right team member by job type or location
- Automated appointment reminders to reduce no-shows
- Monthly job and revenue reporting without manual spreadsheets
Job Management Software
From $8,000
When your business grows beyond what your current tools can handle — crew scheduling across multiple job sites, customer history, equipment tracking, subcontractor management — off-the-shelf options often don't fit how your business actually runs. We build focused internal tools and dashboards built around your specific workflow.
- Job scheduling dashboard with crew assignments and location tracking
- Customer history and job notes accessible from the field
- Subcontractor management and work order generation
- Integrates with your existing accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero)
- Built for mobile use in the field — not just desktop
Ongoing Tech/IT Management
From $500/mo
When you're running a busy trades business, the last thing you want is to think about your website going down, SSL certificates expiring, or WordPress getting hacked. We handle monitoring, updates, security, and backups so your digital infrastructure keeps running — and you keep your focus on jobs.
- 24/7 uptime monitoring — we know before your customers do
- Security patching and WordPress/plugin updates handled
- Regular backups with tested restore procedures
- Email support with fast response times
- Domain and SSL renewal management

Frequently asked questions
How do you make a trades website rank on Google?
Local SEO for trades businesses comes down to three things: service area pages (one for each city you serve, targeting the right keywords), Google Business Profile optimization (reviews, photos, service areas, posts), and technical SEO (site speed, structured data, mobile performance). We handle all three as part of every web design project.
Do you build websites for trades businesses that are just getting started?
Yes. A clear, professional 5-page website with a quote request form, service area information, and your contact details is often the most important early investment for a new trades business. We scope every project individually — book a free consultation and we'll send a fixed-price proposal.
Can you integrate our website with our quoting or job management software?
Yes — ServiceTitan, Jobber, Housecall Pro, Tradify, and most platforms with APIs. We assess your current tools during scoping and design the integration to fit your workflow.
How quickly can you build a new trades website?
Most straightforward trades websites are delivered in 4–6 weeks from signed proposal to launch. We're faster than most agencies because we run lean — no layers of account management and creative review cycles.
We're not tech people. Will we be able to manage the site ourselves after launch?
Yes. We build with a CMS your team can use without training — updating photos, adding project galleries, changing prices, adding new service areas. We provide documentation and a walkthrough before handover.
