HOW MUCH DOES AN EXCAVATION CONTRACTOR WEBSITE COST?
There is no single answer, because the cost depends on what the website has to do. A five-page brochure site costs less than a contractor website with service pages, project galleries, tracking, and ongoing search expansion.
The right question is not "how much," but "what does the website need to produce."
WHAT DOES AN EXCAVATION WEBSITE COST?
An excavation contractor website can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars for a simple template to several thousand for a custom site with dedicated service pages, project galleries, tracking, and ongoing management. The cost is driven by how much the site has to do and whether it keeps expanding after launch.
WHAT ACTUALLY DETERMINES THE PRICE.
-
Number of services
Each service a company offers deserves its own page. More services means more pages, more copy, and more search coverage.
-
Service areas
Geographic coverage adds pages and search architecture for the territories the company serves.
-
Project galleries
Before-and-after proof and project galleries take time to build and present well.
-
Fleet presentation
Presenting equipment and capability clearly adds work and value to the site.
-
Forms and tracking
Estimate intake forms, call tracking, and lead attribution add functionality beyond a static page.
-
Hosting and maintenance
Hosting, SSL, backups, updates, and uptime monitoring are ongoing costs beyond the initial build.
-
Search architecture
A site built around search intent and ongoing expansion costs more than a template, and produces more.
-
Custom vs. template
A custom site that matches the company costs more upfront than a template, but it is built to perform.
Dirt Sites' model is a setup plus a monthly fee that includes hosting, security, backups, monitoring, maintenance, and ongoing search expansion. That is different from a one-time build where the site goes stale after launch. View current Dirt Sites pricing and packages on the pricing page.
EXCAVATION WEBSITE COST FAQS
Why does one website cost more than another?
Because of what it has to do: the number of service pages, geographic coverage, project galleries, tracking, and whether it keeps expanding after launch.
Is a template site cheaper in the long run?
It is cheaper upfront, but it usually stops producing after launch. A managed site with ongoing expansion keeps working for the company.
Why is there a monthly fee?
Hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring, maintenance, and search expansion are ongoing. A monthly fee keeps the site alive and growing instead of going stale.
Where do I find Dirt Sites pricing?
