Personalizing Your Website: Picking an Outfit that Fits Your Style

How we create websites that look like YOUR business—not a generic template—without starting from scratch every time.

The Dress Code Test

Customer expectations are like dress codes. A banker in a hoodie feels “off.” A construction worker in a suit feels “off.” Your website has a dress code too—and customers don't consciously think “this website looks wrong.” They just leave.

Here's the tension every contractor faces: How do you look “expected” for your trade while maintaining YOUR flair? Every plumber site being identical blue with a wrench icon is boring. But a plumber site in hot pink with Comic Sans is... wrong.

The answer isn't starting from scratch. It's picking the right outfit.

What We Mean by “Outfit”

Think about how you get dressed in the morning. You don't design clothes from scratch—you pick from your wardrobe. Different combinations create different looks:

Pants × Shirts × Hats = Many unique outfits

Same wardrobe, different combinations.

We apply the same principle to websites. We've built a “wardrobe” of layout options, color palettes, and design elements that we know work for trade contractors. When we talk about your business, we're not starting from scratch—we're picking pieces that fit YOU.

Hero layout × About layout × Services layout × Colors = Your unique website

Same building blocks, your combination.

Why This Matters for You

What You Get

  • • A website that looks like YOUR business
  • • Proven layouts that convert visitors to calls
  • • Colors and style that match your specialization
  • • Professional design without the custom price tag

What You Avoid

  • • Cookie-cutter template that looks like everyone else
  • • “SaaS startup” aesthetic that feels wrong for trades
  • • Paying designer prices for custom work
  • • Starting from a blank page every time

It's Not Just Your Trade—It's Your Specialization

Two electricians can both be “electricians,” but serve completely different customers. The outfit should match not just what you do, but WHO you serve.

Same Trade, Different Outfits

An industrial electrician working on job sites needs stark yellow and black—high-vis, professional, “I work on commercial projects.” An EV installer focused on homeowners needs clean blues and modern styling—“cutting-edge home technology.” Same license, very different look.

Emergency Focus

Bold colors, urgent messaging, 24/7 prominent

“We're here NOW. Your emergency is our priority.”

Residential Focus

Warm, approachable, friendly colors

“Your neighborhood plumber. Treating your home like our own.”

Commercial/Industrial Focus

Stark, professional, capability-focused

“Built for builders. Commercial-grade service on schedule.”

Energy Efficiency Focus

Greens, earth tones, sustainability messaging

“Save money, save energy. High-efficiency systems that pay for themselves.”

See It In Action

We've built demo sites for different trades to show how the same building blocks create distinct looks. Each uses the same underlying system, but with different “outfits”:

The Bottom Line

Your customers have expectations. A plumber site should look like a plumber site. An emergency service should feel urgent. A luxury contractor should feel refined.

We help you meet those expectations—then exceed them. Not with a cookie-cutter template, but with a curated combination of elements that fit YOUR business.

Browse the demos. Find the one that feels closest to you. Then let's talk about making it yours.
