Websites for commercial subcontractors. Built for the people who put you on bid lists.
KLYX builds and rebuilds websites for commercial drywall, framing, and specialty subcontractors. We structure capabilities, project portfolios, safety and licensing information, service areas, prequalification requests, and careers content for the people evaluating your company. Clear pages and structured data support search and AI visibility. Start with an Operations Review.
Book an Operations ReviewWhere the work gets stuck.
A commercial subcontractor’s website is part of the credibility check. If a GC estimator cannot confirm your scope or find relevant projects, your office has to explain the basics again. If an applicant cannot see the work and a path to apply, recruiting has another broken handoff.
Integration access and capabilities are confirmed during discovery.
Explain capabilities by actual trade scope
Organize approved projects by building type
Make service area, licensing, and safety information easy to find
Give prequal requests and careers applications a clear destination
Build page structure, metadata, and schema around verified content
Drafts and recommendations are reviewed by your team before a pricing decision, technical response, submission, or purchasing commitment.
Start small. Check the work.
Map the current process
Bring a representative example, the tools involved, and the person who owns the workflow.
Define the review steps
Agree on permissions, source records, approval boundaries, and exception handling.
Pilot and measure
Test on a limited scope, compare against your baseline, and train the team before expanding.
Who reads a subcontractor’s website?
GC estimators check whether your capabilities fit the package before inviting you. Prequalification and risk teams look for current company information, licensing, and a way to request supporting documents. Owners’ representatives may want relevant building experience. The framers and finishers you want to hire want to see the company and how to apply.
Those are different readers with different questions. The website should let each find the relevant facts without turning every visit into an email exchange. Clear scope language, approved project examples, and an owned request path do more work than broad claims about excellence.
For drywall & framing contractors.
Separate metal stud framing, board, tape and finish levels, ACT ceilings, insulation, and paint where those are actual capabilities. Show which scopes your company carries and where it works. Use project examples your team has permission to publish, grouped by building type rather than an unexplained gallery of photos.
A portfolio entry should explain what your company performed. Confirm project names, images, scope, and any attribution before publication. A GC logo, safety metric, license, certification, or client statement belongs on the site only when the supporting fact and permission are established.
What we build.
Capabilities pages explain the scope. Project pages show relevant experience by building type. Service-area content makes geographic fit clear without inventing offices. Safety and licensing pages use facts your team verifies and keeps current. A document-request path gives prequal inquiries a responsible recipient while keeping sensitive records controlled.
A careers page explains the roles, work, and application process your company actually offers. The application flow needs an owner, a destination, and an honest confirmation. The website also needs clear headings, metadata, canonical URLs, internal links, and structured data that matches visible facts. Those are part of the build, not claims about ranking outcomes.
New build or rebuild?
Keep the existing site when its platform, access, content, and structure can support the work. A rebuild can reorganize scope pages, improve project records, repair the request path, and preserve useful URLs. Redirects belong in the plan before pages move.
Start over when the existing foundation cannot reasonably support the agreed requirements. The Operations Review checks ownership and access, current content, integrations, and the people who will maintain it. Platform choice follows that review. There is no standard answer that every contractor needs the same stack.
This site is the example.
KLYX’s own site is the available example of how we organize an offer, answer specific questions, connect related pages, and give the reader a clear next step. We are not presenting a portfolio of client websites or invented website outcomes. Review the structure here, then discuss what your company’s buyers and applicants need to find.
The website work can pair with an operations engagement when document requests, careers applications, or content updates need a reliable internal owner. A careers page helps only when the application reaches the people responsible for staffing the work.
Scope the website before pricing it.
Website pricing is scoped in the Operations Review. A new build, a content restructure, and a rebuild with project migration are different jobs. The scope identifies content responsibilities, access, platform, hosting, ownership terms, review rounds, and the handoff before implementation.
Bring the existing site if you have one, a representative project list, and the questions your office repeatedly answers during prequalification or recruiting. We can identify missing facts without inventing them. No launch date or hosting arrangement is promised before the work and dependencies are agreed.
Your questions,
answered.
Do you do new builds or only redesigns?
Both. We review the existing site, platform access, content, and business requirements before recommending a new build or rebuild. Useful pages and URLs should be preserved where practical. The agreed scope explains what stays, what changes, and how any necessary redirects are handled.
Do we own the site?
Ownership, account access, source files, third-party licenses, and handoff responsibilities are defined in the written website scope. We discuss those terms before implementation so your team knows what it will control and maintain. Do not assume a standard ownership arrangement before that agreement is reviewed.
Who hosts it?
Hosting is selected during scoping around the site’s platform, access, forms, maintenance, and security requirements. We can assess an existing arrangement before recommending a change. Account responsibility and any recurring third-party fees are documented separately; no hosting package is assumed from this page.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on scope, access, project content, photography permissions, review availability, and any forms or integrations. The implementation schedule is agreed after those dependencies are understood. A small restructure and a full rebuild with a portfolio migration should not share an invented standard turnaround.
Will it help us get on more bid lists?
The site can make capabilities and relevant experience easier for a GC estimator or prequal reviewer to evaluate. It cannot promise an invitation or replace the GC’s qualification process. We build around accurate scope, projects, service area, and document access so the credibility check has useful information.
Do you write the content?
Content drafting can be included in the website scope. Your team supplies and verifies company facts, capabilities, project details, licensing, safety information, and hiring requirements. We organize those facts into clear pages and questions. Nothing is published as a client result or qualification without support and review.
What does a contractor website cost?
Website pricing is scoped in the Operations Review. The written scope separates the build from any hosting, third-party software, content, integration, or ongoing support requirements. We do not publish a standard website price before understanding whether you need a new site, a rebuild, or a focused restructure.
