How much does a painting contractor website cost?

The short answer

Most of the difference is scope and who does the work. The studios we checked publish one-time builds from $500 for a ten-page template site to $3,500 for a custom build. With us, you see a free sample first, there's no setup fee, and Starter is $99 a month, with hosting, upkeep and small edits included.

What drives the price

• Your photo gallery. Sorting and compressing before-and-after photos by job type takes real time, and good photos matter most on a painting site.
• Pages per service. Interior, exterior, cabinets and commercial work can each get their own page, and more pages cost more.
• Custom design or template. Template sections are cheaper. Fully custom layouts cost more.
• Estimate forms and tools. A simple form is standard. Instant estimate tools or booking software usually add a fee.
• After launch. One-time builds often leave hosting and edits to you or to a separate care plan.

Published prices we read

These are prices each company showed on its own website when we read it on October 25, 2026. It's a small sample, not a market average, and the packages include very different amounts of work. Prices change, so check the source before you compare.

• Guerrilla Local (guerrillalocal.com): Painter websites paid once: $500 for up to 10 pages, $750 for up to 15 and $1,000 for up to 20.
• Vaylo Studios (vaylostudios.com): Painting contractor websites from $1,000 to $3,500, as a one-time project fee.

Prices of other companies are shown as they published them and may have changed. We're not affiliated with any of them.

Costs that keep going after launch

• Domain name. Usually about $10 to $20 a year, paid to the domain company, in your name. On October 25, 2026, Porkbun listed a .com at $11.08 a year.
• Hosting and security. Some builders charge it separately every month. Others, like us, include it in the monthly price.
• Upkeep and edits. Someone has to keep the site working and change your hours, prices and photos. Ask whether that's included, capped or billed by the hour.
• Add-ons. Booking software, call tracking, review tools and chat widgets often carry their own monthly fees.
• Marketing and ads are separate. Google Ads, ongoing SEO campaigns and lead services are a different bill from the website, and no website price includes the ad spend itself.

What a site from us costs

We build a free sample site first, so you see the real thing before you spend anything. If you keep it, this is the whole price:

• Free sample site first. No card, no sales call.
• $0 setup fee.
• Starter is $99 a month once your site is live: hosting, upkeep, small edits by email, a Google Business Profile check and basic local search setup.
• Your first year: $0 + 12 × $99 = $1,188, plus your domain (about $10 to $20 a year, in your name).
• Month to month. Cancel any time, with no cancellation fee.
• If you cancel, your site goes down at the end of the month you paid for, your domain stays yours, and we archive your content so we can restore your site if you come back. We may use the archived build as a demo sample.

Starter doesn't include ads, ongoing SEO campaigns or booking software. Growth and Pro are coming soon and aren't for sale yet.

Questions to ask any web designer before you pay

• Whose name will the domain be registered in? It should be yours.
• How long is the contract, and is there a fee to leave early?
• What happens to the site, the domain and the content if I stop paying?
• What exactly does the monthly fee include, and what costs extra?
• Who writes the words and who supplies the photos?
• Will you only show facts I confirm, with no made-up reviews or badges?
