Short answer: at Style Marking, a custom contractor website runs $497 to $1,997 one-time depending on size, and a single landing page starts at $299. Traditional agencies commonly quote $3,000–$10,000+ for the same scope, and DIY builders charge you monthly forever. Here’s the full breakdown — what drives the price, what the ongoing costs really are, and where contractors get overcharged.
If you run a construction, framing, remodeling, roofing, or any other trades company and you want a real website in 2026, here is what it actually costs at Style Marking. These are the exact numbers from our pricing page — not a “starting at” teaser that doubles once you’re on the phone.
Every one of those is a one-time fee. You pay for the build once, you own the result. That distinction matters more than the sticker price, and we’ll come back to it.
The Starter package covers a custom website design of up to 5 pages — typically a homepage, services, about, gallery, and contact. It includes mobile responsive design, basic SEO setup, an SSL certificate, contact form integration, one round of revisions, and 30 days of support. For a one-crew operation that mostly needs to look legitimate when a homeowner Googles the company name, this is usually the right call.
Professional is the most popular tier for a reason. It takes everything in Starter and extends it to up to 15 pages, which is where contractor sites start winning search traffic: a dedicated page for each trade you offer, plus advanced SEO and analytics, blog/CMS integration, social media integration, e-commerce readiness, three rounds of revisions, 24/7 priority support, and monthly maintenance. If you want to rank for “framing contractor St. Cloud” and “drywall contractor Sartell”, you need separate pages for those searches — and that means this tier.
Enterprise is for operations that need more than a brochure: unlimited pages, custom app development, live chat integration, an advanced security suite, a dedicated account manager, unlimited revisions, custom integrations, and performance optimization. Multi-division companies, GCs juggling residential and commercial audiences, and contractors who want estimate workflows wired into their CRM land here.
Just need one page? A single custom landing page starts at $299 one-time. That’s a real option if you’re a new operation and every dollar is spoken for — it’s one page, but it’s yours, it’s fast, and it can grow into a full site later.
When a quote climbs from $497 toward $1,997 — or from $3,000 toward $15,000 at a big agency — these are the factors that genuinely add work:
What should not drive the price up: vague “discovery phases”, mandatory retainers before any work starts, or per-edit fees for changing a phone number. If a quote includes those, keep shopping.
A website has a small carrying cost after launch. Here is the honest picture of what recurring costs look like with us — all of it optional except the domain:
Compare that with a DIY builder subscription, where the platform fee itself typically runs hundreds of dollars per year forever and you never own the site. We broke that comparison down fully in Wix vs custom for contractors.
If you’ve already collected quotes, you’ve probably seen numbers between $3,000 and $10,000 for a contractor site — sometimes far more from larger firms. Most of that spread is overhead: offices, project managers, sales commissions. The build work for a 10-page contractor website is largely the same either way.
We keep prices low because we’re a lean Central Minnesota shop without those layers, and we back it with a price match guarantee: show us a lower quote from another web design agency and we’ll beat it. You also see your design free before you pay anything — if the preview doesn’t impress you, you owe nothing and you’ve lost nothing.
You see your actual design before paying a penny. No deposit to find out what you’re getting.

Code, domain, hosting account — all yours. No platform lock-in, no hostage situations.
For most trades businesses in 2026, the realistic plan looks like this: $497–$997 one-time for the build, from $15/yr for domain and hosting, and $0–$199/mo depending on whether you want hands-off maintenance and active SEO. A brand-new operation can start at $299 with a landing page and upgrade when the work justifies it.
The wrong plan is spending $5,000+ on an agency build with a mandatory retainer, or renting a template forever and wondering why you never show up on Google. If you want a sense of what the finished product looks like at these prices, our portfolio has live contractor builds you can click through.
