Squarespace alternative for contractors

A Squarespace alternative built for contractors, not portfolios.

Squarespace makes beautiful templates for photographers and shops. Contractors need something else: service pages, a quote form, tap-to-call and someone else doing the work. That's Launchly.

The hidden cost

Your time is the expensive part

A good contractor website needs a page for each service, the towns you cover, real project photos, your license number, reviews and a quote form. On a builder, all of that is your job, and so is every change after that.

If building and updating it takes you even a few hours a month, that's worth more than the difference in price. That's why most contractor sites on builders end up as one thin page that never changes.

With Launchly we build every page, keep it updated when you text us, and you never log into anything.

Design is your business, like a photographer or designer.

You like editing your own site.
