FreeWebGuy builds websites for painters: $0 to build and $15 a month for hosting once you approve it. The first version arrives within 48 hours of your brief, with starting prices by room, separate pages for interior, exterior and cabinet work, and an estimate request that asks when the house was built. Pay nothing until you approve it.

What a painting company website has to do
-
Put a starting price next to its assumptions
Most painter sites show no number at all, so a homeowner calls three companies and waits. A starting price for a bedroom or a single-story exterior, with the assumptions under it (walls in fair shape, two coats, one color), gives them a figure to plan around and gives you a reason when the written quote runs higher.
-
Keep interior, exterior and cabinets apart
A bedroom refresh, a whole exterior and a kitchen cabinet job are three different purchases, each with its own prep, timing and set of worries for the homeowner. One page each, saying what the job includes and which months you do it, lets a visitor read only the part that applies and lets you pull in more of the work you want.
-
Let the estimate request do the walk-through's homework
Painters quote after seeing the house, so the form exists to set up that visit well. Ask which rooms or surfaces, roughly when, and the year the house was built, since paint from before 1978 changes how the job has to run. You arrive knowing whether lead-safe setup belongs on the estimate.
The pages we build for a painting business
Your brief decides the final list. These are the pages most painters need, and the job each one does.
| Page | Why it is there |
|---|---|
| Home | What you paint and where, a starting price per kind of job, an estimate button and the phone number. |
| Interior painting | Rooms, ceilings, trim and doors: the prep, how furniture and floors are protected, how many coats, how long a room takes. |
| Exterior painting | The siding you work on, scraping and priming, and the months you paint outside. |
| Cabinet painting | Doors off or on, sprayed or brushed, how long the kitchen is out of action. A different job with its own price. |
| Starting prices | A price per room or surface, the job it assumes, and what raises it: peeling paint, tall ceilings, a dark-to-light change. |
| About, insurance and lead-safe | Who runs the crew, the insurance you carry, your EPA certification if you hold it, and the warranty in your exact words. |
| Service area | The towns and neighborhoods you drive to, in text. |
| Request an estimate | Job type, rooms or surfaces, the year the house was built, timing and contact details. |

-
A before-and-after slider that shows the prep
A visitor drags a line across a living room, then a house front, and watches patched walls and scraped siding turn into the finished job. The caption under each one lists what the crew fixed before the color went on.
-
Starting prices by room, with what moves them
Each room and surface on the services page has a starting price, and the page says what those prices assume. Under the tables, a numbered list covers what adds to the bill: peeling paint, a stairwell, a house built before 1978.
-
An estimate request that asks when the house was built
Alongside the job type, the rooms and the timing, the form asks whether the house was built before 1978, says why in one line and offers Not sure. Pick before 1978 and a note confirms that lead-safe setup gets its own line on the estimate.

What to have ready for your brief
The brief takes about 3 minutes. Send what you have now; photos, documents and anything else on this list can follow by email.
- The jobs you want more of: interior rooms, whole exteriors, cabinets or commercial work
- Your starting prices by room or surface, if you publish them, and the assumptions behind each
- What every job includes: the prep, the protection, the number of coats and the cleanup
- The paint line you use by default, and whether a customer can pay for a premium one
- Your EPA lead-safe firm certification if you hold it, and the insurance you carry
- Your warranty in exact words: what it covers, for how long and what it leaves out
- The months you paint exteriors and how far out you are booked
- Before-and-after photos of your own work, sorted by kind of job
What customers check before they call
- An EPA lead-safe firm certification if you hold it, since the rule covers paid work that disturbs paint in housing built before 1978
- General liability and workers' comp stated plainly, since the cheapest bid often skips both
- A starting price with its assumptions, so the written number does not look invented
- Prep and cleanup spelled out, because the fear is a crew that skips the sanding and leaves the mess

Three job pages, a price table and an estimate request fit the standard build; so does a before-and-after slider, once you send paired photos of your own jobs.
The pricing page lists what the $15 plan includes and what costs extra. To price your own situation, use the website cost calculator or compare FreeWebGuy with Wix, Squarespace and web designers.
Prefer to build it yourself?
Building your own painting company website works if you have the evenings for it. These five steps cover what the site needs on any website builder.
-
Pick a builder whose form has checkboxes and a radio group, so the request can ask the job type and the year the house was built.
-
Write one page each for interior, exterior and cabinet work, with prep, protection, coats and cleanup in the same order.
-
Publish a starting price per room or surface with its assumptions, and a short list of what raises it.
-
Add paired before-and-after photos of your own jobs, your insurance, your lead-safe certification if you hold it and your warranty.
-
Match the name, address and phone on your Google Business Profile, then send yourself a request from a phone.

Questions painters ask
Something else on your mind? Email hello@freewebguy.com. We reply within one business day.
How much does a painting company website cost?
A painting company website from FreeWebGuy is $0 to build, with hosting at $15 a month once you approve it. Year one comes to $180 plus a domain if you need one, with no setup fee and no contract. The job pages, the price table and the estimate request are part of the build.
Can a painting website show starting prices without committing to them?
Yes, when the assumptions sit next to the number. A bedroom price that says walls in fair shape, two coats, one color and a house built in 1978 or later is a promise about that job only. Say the final figure comes in writing after the walk-through.
Does a painting website need an estimate form, or is a phone number enough?
Both. A short form asking the job type, rooms, timing and how to reach you catches people who would rather not call a stranger; the number in the header catches the ones who would rather not type.
Can I say my painting business is lead-safe certified on the website?
Only if your firm holds the EPA certification, or your state's version where one exists. The federal rule covers paid work that disturbs paint in housing built before 1978, and a firm without certification may not advertise that work. If you are certified, say so on the home page and the estimate page.
What should a painting website say about licensing if my state does not license painters?
Say so in one sentence and point to what you do carry. Where licensing falls to cities and counties, a homeowner who looks for a state number finds nothing. Name the city business license if your city requires one, and offer your insurance certificates before the job starts.
How should a painting website state the warranty?
In the terms you honor, exclusions included. Give the number of years, the surfaces it covers, the failures it covers (peeling, blistering, flaking) and what it leaves out, such as surfaces people walk on and damage from leaks or settling. "Satisfaction guaranteed" promises nothing a customer can hold you to.
Why does my painting website get visitors but no estimate requests?
Check what is missing: a number, photos of your own work, or an obvious next step. Add a starting price with its assumptions, swap stock photos for before-and-after pairs of jobs you did, and put a request button and the phone number in the first screen of every page.
