The best website design companies for home builders and remodelers in 2026

The best website design company for a home builder depends on what you build. Production and community builders should look at Builder Designs. Design-build remodelers and custom builders who want a marketing team every month should look at Builder Funnel or Contractor Growth Network. Builders who want a custom site at one fixed price, with no retainer, can look at us. Tight budgets fit Footbridge Media at $249 a month.

How we picked them

We looked for companies that build websites for home builders or remodelers and say so on their own site, starting with the ones that show up when builders search for "home builder website design." We opened every company's website on November 9, 2026, and took prices only from their own pages. Where a company doesn't publish a price, we say so. No one paid to be on this list.

We are one of the nine. We sell builder websites, so we have a stake in this, and we've marked our entry. We put it in the middle, and we say plainly who should hire someone else.

At a glance

1. Builder Funnel

Best for: remodelers and custom home builders who want one agency to run their website, SEO, ads, email and social media every month.

What they do well: Builder Funnel says it works only with residential remodelers and custom home builders, and its CEO says it has worked with that one type of client for 16 years. Every engagement starts with what it calls the Ultimate Digital Marketing System: a strategy plan, a website, SEO, CRM setup, tracking and lead generation, built together. An on-site video filming trip is an optional add-on, and it comes with 4 long-form videos, 3 pinned reels and drone footage. It also publishes its prices.

Published pricing (checked November 9, 2026): the build starts at $5,000 a month for the three months it takes. Its FAQ asks whether you need a monthly retainer after the website is built and answers "Yes." Retainers are $3,500, $5,000 or $7,500 a month. Technology starts at $540 a month, and ad spend is separate.

Ask them: what the site costs if you stop the retainer later, and who owns the CRM and the site at that point.

2. Contractor Growth Network

Best for: design-build remodelers who want their website built around their best projects and are happy to wait for it. Its pricing page speaks to firms doing $2 million to $7 million.

What they do well: it starts with a free three-week discovery (three calls) before you pay anything, and its writers turn your project details into the copy, so you don't write it yourself. Its pricing page is unusually clear, and its website page says who it isn't for: anyone who needs a site quickly or isn't ready to invest in professional photography. It says its whole team is in-house, not outsourced.

Published pricing (checked November 9, 2026): websites start at $15,000 and average about $26,000. Its three examples are a $15,000 base site, a $23,000 to $27,000 custom site with 4 to 6 featured project pages, and a $35,000 to $45,000 premium site with pricing pages and calculators. You can pay over 6 months interest-free or take 10% off for paying in full. SEO is optional at $3,150, $4,900 or $6,400 a month with a 12-month commitment, and pairing it with the site takes $5,000 to $10,000 off the build.

Watch for: the build takes 4 months from kickoff to launch, and one round of design revisions is included.

Ask them: which tier your project list fits, and what a second round of revisions costs.

3. Builder Designs

Best for: production, semi-custom and community builders who need floor plans, communities and inventory homes on the site and kept up to date.

What they do well: Builder Designs says it has built websites for home builders since 2008, and its homepage counts 438 home builder websites, 20,871 active homes and 5,572 active communities on its sites. It sells custom sites, pre-built BluPrint sites that it says launch faster at a lower price, and a simpler Essentials line. It builds the technology large builders need: an interactive floor plan tool you can update yourself, and data feeds that pull from your ERP or MLS and push leads into your CRM.

Published pricing: none on its site as of November 9, 2026. You call its sales team.

Ask them: the price difference between a BluPrint and a custom site, and what data feeds cost each month after launch.

4. Hook Agency

Best for: remodelers and other home service contractors who want their website, SEO and Google Ads from one team.

What they do well: Hook publishes prices, says you own your website 100%, and builds its custom sites from scratch in WordPress. It says it works only with contractors and home service companies, and lists remodelers among them. Its Local SEO and AEO plan tracks more than 25 ChatGPT prompts and reports on them every month. It says it has a team of 55 or more.

Published pricing (checked November 9, 2026): a Standard site on Hook's own code base is $1,000 a month for 12 months and is "only available when paired with a recurring service." A Custom site is $24,000, split over 12 months when paired with a recurring service, and complex sites can run up to $50,000. Local SEO and AEO is $3,750 a month, and Google Ads and Local Services Ads management starts at $2,000 a month. Hook says most of its clients invest $5,000 to $8,000 a month.

Watch for: Hook's list of niches leads with roofing, HVAC, construction and plumbing, with remodelers among the others. A custom site takes about 100 days, and a Standard site goes live in about 45 days.

Ask them: how many remodeler or builder sites they've launched, and what happens to the site's monthly cost if you drop the recurring service.

5. Curb & Code (that's us)

Best for: custom home builders and design-build remodelers who want a custom site at one fixed price, with no retainer and nothing due up front.

What we do well: you see a concept of your new homepage, built from your own photos, before you owe anything. You pay half when you approve the homepage design and half at launch. The Signature site has up to 20 custom pages, 6 case studies with budget range, timeline and scope, a consultation form that asks about budget, timeline and lot, and form and call tracking that tags every lead with where it came from. It goes live 8 to 10 weeks after you hand over content. The launch date is in writing, with $1,000 off for each week we're late, up to $5,000. You own the domain, the code, the hosting account and the analytics.

Published pricing: Signature $20,000, Estate $30,000, Landmark $45,000. A care plan is optional at $750 or $1,500 a month, month to month. Ads and SEO are an optional add-on you can stop any month, never a condition of the build.

Who should pick someone else:

• You build in communities and need floor plans, inventory homes and MLS feeds on the site. Builder Designs is built for that.
• You want an agency running your marketing every month. Builder Funnel, Contractor Growth Network and Hook all do this, and their retainers include work we don't bundle.
• You need photos or video shot. We work from the photos you already have. BigOrange includes photography in its website plan, and Builder Funnel offers an on-site filming trip.
• Your budget is under about $5,000. Footbridge Media is a better fit.
• You want to browse a long public portfolio of builder sites before you sign. Builder Designs and Contractor Growth Network have long public portfolios; we show you a concept of your own homepage instead.

Ask us: to see the homepage concept before you decide anything. It costs nothing.

6. BigOrange Marketing

Best for: builders and developers who want their story written with the StoryBrand framework and their marketing run on HubSpot.

What they do well: BigOrange's builder website plan includes a competitive analysis, a value proposition, photography, copy, content migration and conversion paths, so you aren't hiring a copywriter and a photographer separately. Its site quotes the former executive director of the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati on the HOMEARAMA marketing it did, and the owner of Chris Gorman Homes.

Published pricing (checked November 9, 2026): the StoryBrand Certified Website for Builders is $8,088 a month with a 3-month minimum, so at least $24,264. Its inbound marketing program is $4,880 a month with a 6-month minimum, and extra projects are $125 an hour with a $1,000 minimum.

Ask them: how many months your site will take at $8,088 a month, and what happens if it runs past the minimum.

7. Blue Corona

Best for: builders who want website design, SEO and paid ads from one contractor marketing agency.

What they do well: Blue Corona builds custom WordPress sites for home builders and architecture firms, uses in-house copywriters, and says "Once your website is built, it's 100% yours to keep." A banner on its site says it has merged with RYNO Strategic Solutions.

Published pricing: no website price on its site as of November 9, 2026. Its FAQ puts SEO audits at $2,500 to $3,500 and ongoing SEO at $1,500 to $20,000 or more a month.

Watch for: the three case studies on its home builder page are HVAC, plumbing and electrical companies.

Ask them: for builder or remodeler sites they've launched, and what the website costs without ongoing SEO.

8. Contractor Gorilla

Best for: smaller builders and remodelers who want a straightforward site quickly.

What they do well: it works only with contractors and trades, lists home builders and remodelers as industries, and says it has been in business for 18 years. A 1 to 5 page site typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. It manages hosting, security and maintenance so you don't have to.

Published pricing: none. Its FAQ says cost varies with the size and complexity of the site; you contact them for a quote.

Ask them: what hosting and maintenance cost each month, and whether you can move the site to your own hosting if you leave.

9. Footbridge Media

Best for: remodelers who need a solid site and local search basics on a small budget.

What they do well: price and risk. For $249 a month you get a custom website, SEO, Google optimization, review management, a CRM and a dedicated marketing consultant, with no contract, no setup or build fee, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. It says the site is yours if you leave, with no transfer fees. It also pledges no price increases for at least three years. It has been in business since 2004.

Published pricing (checked November 9, 2026): $249 a month, $0 setup.

Watch for: at this price, ask how much of the site is custom to you and how many case studies or project pages are included.

How to choose

1. Decide how you want to pay. Builder Funnel requires a monthly retainer, and Hook sells its Standard site only with a recurring service. Contractor Growth Network and BigOrange spread the build over months. We charge a fixed price, half at design approval and half at launch. Compare first-year totals, not build prices; our website cost guide does that math for Builder Funnel, Hook, Contractor Growth Network and Footbridge Media.
2. Match the company to what you build. A production builder needs plans, communities and inventory feeds. A custom builder or design-build remodeler needs case studies that show scope, budget and timeline. Look at the home builder websites we think are best to see the difference.
3. Ask who owns the site. Get the answer in the contract: domain, code, hosting account, analytics and photos.
4. Ask how long it takes. Published timelines on this list run from 4 to 6 weeks for a small Contractor Gorilla site to 4 months at Contractor Growth Network.
5. Sort out photos first. Good project photos matter more than any template. Find out whether the agency shoots them, edits yours, or expects you to hire a photographer.

Mistakes builders make when hiring a web designer

• Comparing a $249-a-month plan to a $24,000 build without adding up what each costs over a year or two.
• Signing a 12-month marketing commitment to get a website discount without checking the exit terms.
• Hiring a generalist whose portfolio has no builder or remodeler sites.
• Leaving the inquiry form as a plain "contact us" box, so every lead arrives with no budget, timeline or location.

FAQ

What is the best website design company for home builders?

It depends on what you build. For production and community builders, Builder Designs specializes in plans, communities and data feeds. For remodelers and custom builders who want a monthly marketing team, Builder Funnel and Contractor Growth Network. For one fixed price with no retainer, Curb & Code. For a small budget, Footbridge Media at $249 a month.

How much does a home builder website cost in 2026?

Among the companies above that publish prices, builder and remodeler sites run from $12,000 (Hook Standard, sold only with a recurring service) to $45,000 (Contractor Growth Network Premium and our Landmark), and Hook says complex sites can reach $50,000. Footbridge Media charges no build fee and $249 a month. Our website cost guide adds up first-year totals.

Do I need a monthly retainer after my website is built?

Not always. Builder Funnel requires one, and Hook sells its Standard site only with a recurring service. Contractor Growth Network's SEO bundle is optional. We sell the site at a fixed price, and a care plan from $750 a month is optional.

How long does it take to build a home builder website?

From the companies' own pages: about 4 to 6 weeks for a small Contractor Gorilla site, about 45 days for a Hook Standard site, 8 to 10 weeks for our Signature site after you hand over content, about 100 days for a Hook custom site, and 4 months at Contractor Growth Network.

Who owns my website if I leave the agency?

Ask before you sign. Hook, Blue Corona and Footbridge Media all say on their own pages that you keep your website. With us you own the domain, the code, the hosting account and the analytics.

Should a home builder use a template or a custom website?

A pre-built site launches faster and costs less, which is why Builder Designs and Hook both sell one. A custom site makes sense when your homes or remodels sell on design and buyers compare you on taste.

How do home builders show up in ChatGPT and AI search?

Several of these agencies now sell it. Hook's Local SEO and AEO plan tracks 25 or more ChatGPT prompts a month, Builder Funnel sells an AIO service, and Contractor Growth Network's SEO packages include AI search optimization. In our view the groundwork is the same as for Google: clear project pages, specific facts about where and what you build, and reviews.
