An AI Website Builder for Contractors Who'd Rather Be on a Job Site

Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and other home service businesses usually need one thing from a website: for someone searching "electrician near me" at 9pm with a problem to find a page that clearly says what you do, where you work, and how to reach you. That's a more straightforward job than most websites, but it's still surprisingly easy to get wrong with a generic template that reads like it was written for any trade rather than yours specifically.

Describing your business to Nova, for example "a website for a licensed electrician serving the north side of a mid-size city, focused on residential rewiring and panel upgrades," produces a site built around that description, your services, service area, and contact information, with a live preview before you publish. Because the draft reflects your actual trade and service area rather than a generic contractor template, it starts closer to something you could put in front of a customer, not just a placeholder that says "quality service you can trust."

One thing to plan for: Nova builds the website, but if you want online booking, a quote request form that routes to a CRM, or review widgets pulling from Google, those typically come from separate tools you'd connect to your site, the same way most contractor sites work. A simple contact form or click-to-call setup covers the basics for a lot of small service businesses without needing that extra tooling right away.

FAQ

Does the site work well for local search, like "plumber near me" searches?

A clear, accurate description of your services and service area helps searchers and search engines understand what you do; beyond that, local search visibility also depends on things outside the website itself, like your Google Business Profile, which is worth setting up separately.

Can I list multiple services, like both plumbing and HVAC?

Yes, describe the full range of services you offer, and Nova will structure the site around that rather than assuming a single service type.

Do I need a custom domain for a small local business?

It's not required, a free getnova.pro subdomain works to get started, but a custom domain under your business name tends to look more established once you're actively marketing the site.

Describe your service business to Nova and see the site before deciding on anything else.
