Static hosting for contractors and trades
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, remodelers, roofers, landscapers — small-trade contractor sites are services + portfolio + 'request a quote' form. Stable, geographically-targeted, perfect for static.
What a typical contractor site looks like
Homepage with services and service-area map, services pages, portfolio / past work gallery, testimonials, request-a-quote form, contact.
These sites are usually on cheap shared hosting ($10–20/mo) running WordPress with a contractor-themed plugin. Migration retires the recurring cost completely.
Trade-specific things to know
- Service-area pages with local SEO targeting need to stay exactly as written. Preserved.
- Quote-request forms route to email or a CRM — unaffected by migration if webhook-based.
- Google Business Profile is separate from the website — unaffected.

Our take
Contractor sites are textbook savings cases. The site does its job (be findable locally, capture quote requests), and there's nothing about WordPress that's needed for either.
