A quote form that asks enough
Surface, condition, and rough size, so your first reply can be useful instead of "when can we come look?".
LocalMantle
We rebuild local businesses into lead engines.
Websites for established painting contractors in the Charlotte metro. We build the site, you keep running the business. $499 to build it, $49 a month to keep it running. No contract, and you own the result.
We are new. We have no client results to show you yet, so we will show you your own page instead and let you judge it.
What a painting contractor's site actually has to do
Three things, in order: load fast on a phone, say what you do and where, and make asking for a price take under a minute. Most contractor sites lose people on one of the three.
One page per service
Cabinet refinishing and exterior repaint are different jobs bought by different people. They get their own pages.
Proof where it counts
Your photos, your reviews, next to the form. We publish what you can back up, and nothing you cannot.
Fast on a phone
Most of your visitors are standing in the room they want painted. The site is built for that first.
Quote requests you can see
Every request is recorded against your site and shown in your monthly report, so a missed reply is visible rather than invisible. Where requests get delivered is set up with you at launch.
A monthly report you can read
Visits, quote requests, which services people asked about, and what they were using. One page, plain numbers, and a list of what it deliberately does not measure. What is in it.
See the thing itself
We have no client sites to point at, so instead of describing the result we built a sample page for a business that does not exist. It is the same template a real build starts from.
The sample site
Every detail on it is invented and labelled as sample content. No reviews, no photographs, no results, and no phone number, because there is no business behind it.
Why not a client's site?
We do build a personalised preview for specific businesses, but those are private, unindexed, and addressed to the owner. Publishing one as marketing would turn an unsolicited proposal into a public claim about somebody's business without asking them. So we do not.
Is this for you?
A straight answer is cheaper for both of us than a sales call. Read the right-hand column first.
Probably worth a look if
- Your work is better than your website, and you know it.
- Your site is hard to use on a phone, or slow, or both.
- People call to ask things the site should have answered.
- You cannot easily change your own site, or nobody has for years.
- You have photographs of your work and no good place to put them.
Probably not worth it if
- Your site already brings in as much work as you can take. Do not fix that.
- You are booked out and not looking for more jobs.
- You want ranking guarantees or ad management. We do not do either.
- You want it live this week. A proper build takes longer than that.
- You want someone else to write claims about your business. We only publish what you confirm.
If the right-hand column is you, say so and we will stop. We would rather lose the sale than sell something that does nothing.
