Wix and Squarespace are the two builders in this table because their prices are published; there are others, and the five tests below work on any of them. Both are capable, and a patient owner can make a good contractor site on either. Neither writes your services, takes your job photos or knows that a plumber needs emergency calls at the top. That part is the same on every builder: it is your time.
Do not judge a builder by its sales page. Open a finished contractor site made with it, on your phone, and run these:
The builder is the cheap part. What makes a contractor site work is the content, and no editor writes it for you. A homeowner types the job and the town: "water heater repair" and a suburb, "roof leak repair near me", "fence installation" with a county. A page can only match the jobs it names. That means a line or a section for every service you sell, written in the words customers use.
The content also has to move with your year. Lawn and landscaping crews want spring cleanups up front in March. Heating and air companies want furnace repair at the top at the first cold snap and air conditioning repair in the first heat wave. On a do-it-yourself builder each of those is an evening; with a freelancer or agency it is usually a bill.
Pick a builder like Wix or Squarespace if you enjoy the work, have the evenings and your services rarely change. Pick a freelancer or an agency if you want a custom design, a person to work with, and a budget for every change after launch. Pick a done-for-you service if you want the site finished this week and the changes cheap. And if a free template is tempting, read free contractor website templates first; the template is free, the rest is not.
Titan is the done-for-you option. The Titan Assistant builds the whole site from your Google listing in 10-15 minutes, with your services, your phone number, your towns and a quote form that emails every lead to you. You look at it before you pay. Changes are typed in plain English from a dashboard, 50 a month. It is not a custom design, and changes go through the dashboard, not a person. For finished examples, see plumber website design, roofing website design, or the websites for contractors page for every other trade.
Titan fits the contractor who wants the site finished and cheap to change, and who would rather judge a built thing than a sales page. Because the demo is free to see, the question answers itself in 10-15 minutes: type your name, open the result on your phone, and decide.
Titan does not fit a contractor who wants a bespoke design, a portfolio site for large commercial projects, online booking tied to a crew calendar, or the experience of sitting with a designer. Those are worth paying an agency for, and no automated builder should pretend otherwise.
Both can make a good contractor site, and between them the common yearly Wix and Squarespace plans run $18-$49 a month, read from each company's pricing page. Pick the editor you find easier, because you will be the one using it. Neither writes your services or takes your photos.
For a first page with your name and number, it can be. On Wix's free plan the site keeps a Wix address and Wix branding, so most businesses move to a paid plan. Judge any site the way a homeowner would: open it on a phone and try to call.
No. You type your business name and the Titan Assistant reads your Google listing; you pick your trade, tick the services you offer and add your email. Afterwards, changes are sentences, like "add a service called gutter guards" or "change my hours to 7 to 5". If you can send a text message you can run the site.
Type your business name and see your own site, free, before you decide anything.
