Evan Stroud runs Evans Plumbing and Repairs out of Evansville, Indiana. When he reached out to us, his entire online presence was a Facebook page. It was working OK for engagement, but he kept running into the same wall: potential customers couldn't easily find his services, his service area, or even how to contact him without digging through posts. He didn't want a big complicated website. He just wanted one place where people could see what he does and call him.
We built that for $499. One week later, he was booking jobs off of it.
A Facebook page is not a website
I talk to a lot of service business owners who think their Facebook page is enough. And look, Facebook is fine for staying in front of people who already follow you. But when someone's toilet is overflowing at midnight, they're Googling "plumber near me," not scrolling your Facebook timeline trying to figure out if you do emergency calls.
That was Evan's situation. He had the reputation, the reviews, the following. What he didn't have was a place to send people that looked professional and gave them everything they needed in about 30 seconds flat. He was losing potential jobs to plumbers who had actual websites, even if those plumbers weren't as good.
He didn't need 15 pages. He needed one good one.
One page, built to look like five
If you go to evansplumbingandrepairs.com right now, you'll see a nav bar at the top with links for Services, About, Service Area, and Contact. Looks like a standard multi-page website, right? It's not. It's a single page.
Every one of those navigation links is an anchor link. Click "Services" and it scrolls you down to the services section. Click "Contact" and you jump to the contact form. The visitor never leaves the page, but it feels like they're navigating a full site. Most people will never notice the difference, and honestly, they don't need to.
This approach has a few real advantages. The page loads fast because there's nothing else to load. Visitors stay engaged because everything flows as they scroll. And it costs a fraction of what a traditional multi-page site costs to build.
What $499 actually gets you
People hear "$499 website" and assume it's some generic template with a logo slapped on it. It's not. Here's what Evan's site actually includes:
The hero section hits you right away with a big headline, badges for 24/7 Emergency, Licensed & Insured, and Free Estimates, a BBB A+ Rating logo, and a quote request form. Before you scroll at all, you already know this is a real, licensed business and you can request a quote. That's doing a lot of work above the fold.
Below that, six service cards lay out exactly what Evans Plumbing handles: emergency calls, installations, gas repairs, clogged drains, leak detection, and water heaters. No guessing. No clicking around. It's all right there.
Then there's an about section where Evan tells his story, backed by trust signals like "Licensed & Insured," "Fast Response," and "Local & Trusted." This stuff matters more than most business owners realize. People want to know who they're letting into their house.
A service area section with a Google Map shows exactly which communities he covers across southern Indiana, from Evansville and Newburgh out to Boonville, Princeton, Jasper, and beyond.
The contact section has his phone number, email, address, and hours, plus a second contact form for anyone who scrolled the whole page and is ready to reach out.
And then there's a full FAQ section answering the kinds of questions people actually Google, like "is it safe to repair a gas line myself?" and "how do I know if I have a hidden leak?" That's free SEO. Every one of those questions is something someone might type into Google, find this page, and then call Evan.
Oh, and the phone number in the header? It's click-to-call on mobile. One tap and you're on the line.
You don't need a big website. You need the right one.
I keep coming back to this because it's the thing most people get wrong. They think getting online means spending $3,000-$5,000 on some sprawling site with a dozen pages they'll never update. So they put it off. And they lose business every day they wait.
Evan's site answers four questions: Who are you? What do you do? Where do you do it? How do I reach you? That's all a service business website needs to do. If it does those four things well, it will generate leads. Period.
The website alone didn't do this, though
I want to be honest about something. If Evan had just put the site up and walked away, nothing would have happened. A website sitting on the internet with no traffic is like a billboard in a forest.
What Evan did right was put it to work immediately. The day we handed it over, he shared it on his Facebook. He linked it on his Google Business Profile. So now when someone searches "plumber Evansville" on Google Maps and finds his listing, they click through to a real website instead of a Facebook page. That's a completely different level of credibility.
Within the 2 days, the forms were getting submissions. The phone was ringing. That's not because the website is magic. It's because Evan connected it to the places his customers already look: Google and social media. The site gave those people a reason to pick up the phone.
This is the part I really want other business owners to hear. Getting a website is step one. Connecting it to your Google Business Profile, sharing it on your socials, putting the URL on your truck, your cards, your invoices... that's what actually drives the traffic.
What Evan had to say
Evan left us a 5-star review after launch:
"Jacob at blessed build our website and walked me through everything I needed to get it going. Our business is catching more business through our website. Worth it 100%."
