A landscaping website where the garden does the selling

Two businesses wearing one name

Most landscaping companies are actually two businesses. One sells a garden build: a project worth thousands, decided over weeks, chosen almost entirely on the look of your previous work. The other sells maintenance: a small recurring charge, decided in an afternoon, chosen on reliability and price.

They want different pages, or at least different halves of one page. A maintenance customer scrolling through six thousand dollars of patio work concludes you are too expensive for a biweekly cut and leaves. Splitting them costs nothing and recovers that call.

The sections that matter for a landscaper

A gallery of finished gardens

Large, not thumbnails. Taken in good light, from the position someone would stand in. This is the whole pitch.

Maintenance, priced or bracketed

Every two weeks, monthly, one-time cleanup. Even a "from" figure stops the enquiries you were never going to win on price.

Design and build, described as a process

Survey, plan, quote, build, and roughly how long each takes. Big-ticket customers are buying confidence that you have done it before.

Your radius, honestly

A landscaper with a trailer has a real travel limit. Saying it filters out the calls that waste an hour of your evening.

Seasonal work, named

Sod laying, hedge trimming, leaf clearance, spring and fall cleanups, snow clearing where you do it. These are searched for in bursts and each one is a reason to be found.

Hauling and disposal

Whether you take the green waste away and where it goes. Customers have been burned by contractors dumping it somewhere it should not be, and they now ask.

What it costs

Set-up $199, hosting $15 a month, address from $35 a year. You can see the finished site before paying anything, which matters more in a visual trade than in most: you are judging whether your own photographs look right in it.

What you actually end up owning

Most ways of getting a website end with you renting one. Cancel a builder subscription and the pages stop existing; there is nothing to take with you because there was never a file. That is the trade you make for the monthly price, and plenty of people make it knowingly.

This is not that. What gets built for you is a WordPress theme: a real folder of files, with its own style.css, index.php and functions.php, that installs through Appearance, Themes, Add New, Upload Theme on any WordPress host in the world. We host it for you at $15 a month so you never have to think about it, and the web address is registered in your name, not ours.

If you ever want to leave, ask for a copy and it is yours: the theme file, the address, the content. You can hand it to any developer and they will recognise exactly what they are looking at, because it is an ordinary WordPress theme and not a proprietary export nobody else can open.

How the build actually runs

You describe the business

The name, what you do, and anything a customer should know. One or two sentences is the whole brief. No sitemap, no wireframe, no discovery call.

The site is built and written

Design, words, layout and licensed photography chosen for your trade, composed into a finished page in about a minute. You see it before you spend anything.

You change what you want to

Click any line of text and type over it. Swap any photo for one of yours, which always looks better. Delete a section you do not want.

You pick the address and go live

Search for the address you want, we register it in your name, point it at the site, secure it with a certificate, and email you when it is live.
