Homeowners pick a contractor by looking at the work and checking the license. A contractor website is a portfolio with a phone number and a license number, and it has to match the exact search a homeowner types: not "contractor", but "roofing contractor", "electrical contractor", "concrete contractor", in the city they live in.
Fouro Digital builds websites for contractors in San Jose and across the Bay Area, including Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Fremont and Gilroy. Below is a dedicated guide for each of the 26 California contractor license classifications I build for most, from the general B and B-2 licenses through the C specialty trades and the D limited specialties. Each guide covers what your customers search for, the pages the site needs, the mistakes I fix, and what it costs. I am a one-person studio: I design, write and launch every site myself, in English and Spanish, for $2,100 fixed for the eight-page Growth build, with Google setup included. Call or text (408) 620-4106. Esta página en español.

For a lot of contractor searches in San Jose, Yelp, Angi, Houzz and Thumbtack hold most of page one, and the companies spending thousands a month on ads sit above them. I do not pretend a $2,100 site outranks them. The site ranks for your name, your trade in the cities you work, the cost and how-much searches those platforms answer badly, and the specific jobs, EV chargers, pool removal, stucco texture, shower tile, that nobody else wrote a page for. And it is where every one of those platforms sends the homeowner to check you are real before they call.
San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Fremont, Gilroy and the rest of the Bay Area. If you work five cities, your site gets five short area pages, because "roofing contractor Milpitas" and "roofing contractor Fremont" are separate searches. Areas I serve.
Most contractors fit the Growth tier at $2,100, fixed. That includes Search Visibility Setup, Spanish pages, and the monthly plan starts after launch. A contractor with four or five services is an eight-page Growth build. A single-service contractor can fit Starter at $1,500.
A $525 deposit starts it and you see a preview in 24 to 48 hours. See exactly what Growth includes.

Fouro Digital, a one-person web design studio in San Jose, builds websites for licensed contractors in San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Fremont, Gilroy and the rest of the Bay Area, with a dedicated guide for 26 CSLB license classifications. Most contractors fit the $2,100 Growth build: eight pages, English and Spanish, Google Business Profile and Search Visibility Setup included. Call or text (408) 620-4106.
At Fouro, $2,100 fixed for the Growth build, which is what most contractors need: a home page, four to five service pages, a gallery, reviews and contact, in English and Spanish. A $525 deposit starts it and you see a preview in 24 to 48 hours. A single-service contractor can fit Starter at $1,500. The monthly plan covers hosting, domain, email and updates, with no contract.
The site is organized by what customers search for, not by classification. A B contractor who also holds a C-10 gets electrical pages alongside the remodel pages, and each page names the classification it falls under. We sort it on the call and the tier follows from the page count.
California homeowners check the CSLB lookup before they call, and the ones who have been burned check it first. A site that prints the number on every page, with the bond and insurance line next to it, answers the question before it is asked. A site that hides it reads as hiding something.
In San Jose a third of your potential customers search in Spanish and almost no contractor site answers them. Spanish gets its own pages, not a toggle, and it is included on Starter and up. It costs you nothing to take the search.
They own page one for many contractor searches, so the site links to your profiles there and the reviews count both ways. The site is the thing you own; those are rented. It is also where every one of those platforms sends the homeowner to check you are real.
