# Painter website examples: four designs for painting contractors

> MigrateLab builds high-performing websites for local businesses. Fixed price, live in 7 working days, fast on mobile, and yours to keep.

Four finished websites for painters: the family decorating firm with forty years of the same town's houses, the design-led studio for heritage interiors and colour consultancy, the exterior and commercial crew that works at height, and the lead machine that prices a job by the room before anyone visits. Click through any of them, then order the one that fits.

Nobody buys paint. They buy the finished room, and they buy the belief that your crew will turn up, cover the furniture, do the prep properly and leave on the day they said. That belief is built with photographs, and almost no painting website has enough of them, because the template it was built on had room for three.

The four sites below sell painting four different ways. One sells a family name and the houses on your street. One sells colour, heritage interiors and a designer's eye. One sells exterior and commercial work, scaffolding, height and schedules. One is a lead machine that prices a job by rooms and coats and books the survey. Every one is real, responsive and ready to rebuild around your business.

## The four designs

### A. Marlbrook & Sons Decorators (Heritage and trust)

- Price: $1,520 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Family painting and decorating firms with decades on the same streets, who do the work themselves and win on prep rather than price.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites/marlbrook
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites?concept=marlbrook#quote
- The twice-painted sliders prove longevity in a way no testimonial can: the same address, the years, and what the paint looked like when they came back
- Prep is written out as seven steps with the three refusals named, which is exactly where a homeowner suspects a cheap quote is hiding something
- A room price and a house-size price sit above the form, so nobody has to call to find out whether they can afford it

### B. Pigment Hall Decorative Painting (Premium design-led)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Decorators who sell colour and specialist finishes rather than day rates: heritage interiors, listed buildings, hand-painted kitchens, and work that comes through interior designers.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites/pigment-hall
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites?concept=pigment-hall#quote
- The colour room answers the question that actually stalls a decorating job, which colour and which finish, before anyone has to book a visit
- Every finish carries its own price per square metre or per kitchen, so a designer can budget a scheme from the page without a call
- Heritage and listed work is given its own section with the paperwork named, which is what wins the specification on a period house

### C. Highside Exterior & Commercial Painting (Bold and industrial)

- Price: $1,920 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: Exterior and commercial painting crews whose work is apartment blocks, warehouses, schools and towers, where access and scheduling cost more than the paint.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites/highside
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites?concept=highside#quote
- The height picker answers the only question that decides the price of an exterior job, so a property manager can self-qualify before they call
- Day rates, access costs and the weather window are printed, which is the part every ladder-and-a-van competitor leaves blank
- The occupants section and the month-by-month season sell the schedule, which is what loses these jobs after the price is agreed

### D. Coatline Painters (Lead machine)

- Price: $2,320 fixed, one time, live in 7 working days
- Who it suits: High-volume residential painting firms that want a homeowner to get a price and book a survey without waiting on three quotes.
- Live demo: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites/coatline
- Order: https://migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites?concept=coatline#quote
- A homeowner gets a real price range and a day count in about a minute, so they stop collecting quotes and book
- Every price on the page is a number, including what the extras cost, so nobody has to call to find out if they can afford it
- The estimator ends on a booked survey with a date, not a form that disappears into an inbox

## You get the design you pick, made into your own site

Every demo on this page is a real layout we rebuild for you. The structure, the sections and the special feature stay as you see them. Your name, logo, colours, photos and wording replace ours, so it looks like it was always yours, and no other business in your area gets the same site.

Stays as you see it in the demo:

- The layout and page structure, section by section
- The special feature, like the map, calculator or booking calendar
- How it looks and works on a phone, and how fast it loads
- Type and spacing tuned so it still looks designed

Becomes yours:

- Your business name and logo. No logo yet? We set your name in a clean wordmark
- Your brand colours, applied across buttons, headings and backgrounds
- Your photos, or licensed photos chosen for your trade
- Your services, prices, service area, team and reviews
- Your phone, email, address and domain

Want a section from another design, or one moved or left out? Put it in your notes. Small changes like that are included.

## What every price includes

- The design you picked, rebuilt around your name, colours, logo and photos
- Copy written for your services and your service area, not filler
- A simple editor for text, photos, services and reviews, no code needed
- Contact and quote forms wired to your inbox, tap-to-call on mobile
- Search basics done properly: titles, descriptions, local business schema, sitemap, fast load
- Your domain connected, your old site redirected if there is one
- One round of changes before launch, and 30 days of fixes after it

## How to order

1. **Pick a design.** Choose the one that feels like your company. Mixing an element from another one is fine.
2. **Send us the basics.** Your logo if you have one, photos of your work, your services, service area, phone and email. A 15 minute call if you prefer talking to typing.
3. **Review the preview.** Within a week you get a private link to the finished site. One round of changes is included.
4. **Go live.** We connect your domain, redirect the old site, and hand you the keys. Nothing is held hostage.

Payment: 50% to start, 50% when the site goes live. Card or bank transfer, invoice due on receipt.

## After launch

- **Edit it yourself, $0 per month.** You get a simple editor for text, photos, services, reviews and service areas. Hosting runs under your own account for a few dollars a month. No contract with us.
- **Care plan, $63 per month.** We host it, watch it and change it for you. Send an email with the change, it is live within one working day. Cancel any month.
- **Let AI edit it, $0 per month.** The code is clean enough that Claude Code or Cursor can add a page, change a section or swap a photo from a plain English request. We set it up and show you how.

## What a great painting contractor website needs

- **Before and after, on everything.** The slider is the product. Interiors, exteriors, cabinets, heritage work.
- **A price before the visit.** Rooms, coats, prep level and ceiling height. Give a range and the survey books itself.
- **What prep is included.** Filling, sanding, masking, primer. This is where cheap quotes hide and where you win.
- **Colour help.** Consultation, the brands you use, and how you handle a customer who cannot decide.
- **Interior, exterior and commercial.** Three different jobs, three different buyers, three sections.
- **Your towns.** Where you work, and how far you travel.
- **Insurance and mess policy.** Dust sheets, working hours, pets, and what happens if something gets splashed.
- **Fast on a phone.** Homeowners browse painters from the sofa in the room they hate.

## Questions

### How much does a painting contractor website cost?

From us, $1,520 to $2,320 as a fixed, one-time price, depending on which of the four designs you pick, live in 7 working days. That includes the design rebuilt around your business, the copy, forms, search basics and connecting your domain. After launch you can edit it yourself for $0 a month or have us look after it for $63 a month. For comparison, agencies typically quote $3,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and builder subscriptions run $20 to $50 a month for as long as the site exists.

### Will my site look exactly like the demo?

It keeps the same design, layout and structure, and the same special feature. Everything that is ours becomes yours: your name and logo, your brand colours, your photos, services, prices and contact details. Small changes, like borrowing a section from another design or leaving one out, are included in the fixed price.

### Who can build a website for my painting contractor?

MigrateLab builds websites for painting contractor owners. Pick one of four finished designs at migratelab.com/examples/painter-websites, send your logo, photos and details, and we rebuild it around your business for a fixed $1,520 to $2,320, live in 7 working days. You own the site, there is no platform subscription, and you can edit it yourself or have us look after it.

### Can I get a painting contractor website without a monthly platform fee?

Yes. A MigrateLab site is yours outright and runs on your own hosting for a few dollars a month, instead of a $20 to $50 monthly builder plan. You pay a one-time $1,520 to $2,320 for the build, and a care plan at $63 a month is optional if you want us to make changes for you.

### Are these real websites or just designs?

Real. Each concept is a complete, responsive website you can click through on any device. The businesses are fictional so you can see the design with realistic content, but the code and layout are exactly what you would receive.

### Can the site estimate a painting job?

Yes. We build an estimator on your own rates: number of rooms or wall area, coats, prep level and any specialist work in, a price range out, then a booked survey. You stop quoting jobs that were never going to buy.

### I get work from word of mouth. Do I need a website?

Most painters we talk to are busy on referrals and Instagram and word of mouth. That works until the phone goes quiet, or someone searches your name and finds nothing, or a customer asks an AI assistant who to call. A site you own answers all of that, shows up when people search for your trade in your town, and does not disappear when a platform changes its rules.

### What happens after I pick one?

You send your logo if you have one, photos of your work, your services and prices, and the towns you cover. We rebuild the site around your business and send a private preview within a week. One round of changes, then it goes live on your domain.

### Will I be able to edit it myself?

Yes. Text, photos, prices and service areas are editable without touching code. Or pick the care plan and text or email us the change.

### What does it cost per month?

Nothing to us unless you choose the care plan. Hosting under your own account is a few dollars a month. There is no platform subscription.

Every company in the demos is a concept brand created by MigrateLab for illustration.
