A handyman website for every job on the to-do list
People look for a handyman with a job in mind. Show the jobs you take on, how you charge and that you turn up, and let them describe the job in a short form.
What PressUp can put on your site
What a handyman website needs
It's a starting point, not a template: ask for more in the chat, and change any of it later.
-
1
Jobs you do
Drywall patches, TV mounting, furniture assembly, door and faucet fixes. PressUp groups the jobs you take on so visitors spot theirs at a glance, and you can add new ones by asking.
-
2
How you charge
An hourly rate, a trip charge or flat prices for common jobs like mounting a TV. Say whether materials are extra, and PressUp sets it out plainly so nobody is surprised by the bill.
-
3
About you
Who shows up, how long you have been fixing things, and that you are licensed and insured if you are. Upload a photo of yourself in the chat: people like to see who is coming to their home.
-
4
Where you travel
The towns you cover and how far you will drive for a small job. PressUp lists them clearly, and can give each town its own page if you want to be found there.
-
5
Reviews from customers
New customers want to hear that you show up when you say and leave the place tidy. Choose past customers in your dashboard, PressUp emails them a short review request, and you show the reviews they let you share.
-
6
Job requests
People describe the job, where it is and when suits them, and it lands in your inbox and your email. Add questions for jobs you quote often, like the TV size or the kind of wall it goes on.
How it works
From a few sentences to a live website
-
Describe your business
Say what you do and where, in your own words. Add screenshots of sites you like, if you have some in mind.
-
Get a site made for it
PressUp plans the pages, writes the words and designs a look that suits your business. It usually takes a few minutes.
-
Change it by asking, then publish
“Add a service.” “Make it feel more premium.” Ask in plain words, undo anything, and publish when you're happy.
Getting found
How people find a handyman
Searches often name the job: "handyman near me", "TV mounting" with a town, "drywall repair near me". Many people also ask neighbors on Nextdoor or in a local Facebook group, then look up the name they are given.
-
Pages for your most-asked jobs
People search for TV mounting or drywall repair, not only for "handyman". A page for each job you want more of, asked for in the chat, can help those searches find you.
-
A page for each town you cover
Someone two towns over adds that town to the search. If you work there, a page for it listing the jobs you take on gives the search a local answer.
-
Recommendations that lead somewhere
Neighbors pass on handymen through Nextdoor, Facebook groups, Thumbtack and Angi. Put your website on every profile you keep, including your Google Business Profile, so a recommendation ends at your rates and request form.
Every PressUp site comes with the basics search engines look for: a title and description for each page, your business details in a form Google can read, a sitemap, pages that load fast on phones, and Bing told about your changes when you publish.
Questions
Questions about a handyman website
Do I need a website for my handyman business?
If most of your work comes from referrals, your website is where those referrals check you out. It shows the jobs you do, your rates and your reviews, and takes job requests while you are up a ladder, so you can reply when you have a minute.
What should a handyman website include?
A clear list of the jobs you take on, how you charge, where you travel, who you are, whether you are licensed and insured, reviews and a job request form. PressUp builds these from your description, and you can add jobs as you start offering new kinds of work.
Should my site say which jobs I don't take on?
It helps. In many states, larger jobs and some electrical, plumbing or gas work need a licensed contractor, so saying what you leave to them saves wasted calls. Check your state's rules, write the wording you want, and PressUp places it on your site.
Can I show photos of jobs I have done?
Yes. Upload photos of your own work in the chat, like a patched wall or a mounted TV with the cables hidden, and PressUp puts them in a gallery or a before and after slider. Real jobs, in your own photos, are what win the next one.
How much does a handyman website cost with PressUp?
Building it is free, with no card: your site on a pressup.site address, with hosting and 20 credits to change it by chat. Pro, at $29 a month, adds your own domain, 200 credits a month and as many sites as you like.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on Pro. Connect a domain you already have, or find and buy one through PressUp, and PressUp points it at your site and sets up its security certificate.
How do I change the site later?
Ask in plain words in the chat, like "add a new service" or "change my phone number". PressUp makes the change, you look it over, and you can undo anything. Publish when you're happy.
