Your customers find you on a phone. Your site should keep up.
For plumbers, roofers, HVAC, electricians, cleaners and other home services. Keep the pages that bring in calls and drop the plugins that slow them down.
Why contractor sites on WordPress get slow and fragile
Most home-service sites start simple: a homepage, a page per service, a few city pages, photos of past jobs, and a quote form. Then the plugins pile up: a builder, a slider, a gallery, a forms plugin, an SEO plugin, a chat widget, a reviews widget. Each one adds scripts the phone has to download before your phone number shows.
Across the web, only 45% of WordPress sites pass Google’s Core Web Vitals on phones (HTTP Archive, 2025). For a business where people search “emergency plumber near me” and call the first site that loads, that matters.
What we keep when we move it
- Service pages and city pages: same URLs, same titles, same text.
- Your phone number, tap-to-call, in the first screen, on every page.
- Your quote form, sending to the same place it does now.
- Job photos, resized for phones so they don’t slow the page.
- Reviews: as text on the page, or the widget if you want to keep it, with a note on what it costs in speed.
- Your Google Business Profile link and LocalBusiness schema.
What goes away
- WordPress, theme and plugin updates.
- Plugin license renewals for things your site no longer needs.
- The wp-admin login, and the worry that someone else has it.
Changes during the busy season
On WordPress, a new phone number or seasonal hours means logging in, hoping the builder loads, or waiting for whoever built the site. After the move you email the change and a person ships it within one business day.
Is it a fit?
If customers book a time straight into a live calendar on your site, that booking tool stays. We link to it or embed it. Everything else on a typical contractor site is pages, and pages are what static HTML does best.
