Websites for trades & local service businesses — Canada & the USA
Your business deserves more than a template.
BlueGrid hand-builds affordable, secure, custom-coded websites. No page builders, no shortcuts — just real code, real effort, and a team that treats your business like it matters. Because it does.
A demonstration build — a typical DIY-builder page on the left, the same business rebuilt by hand on the right. Not a client site: it’s how we show you the difference before you spend a dollar.
Before
After
Demonstration build
A DIY builder page with no clear next step. We rebuilt it around one job: get the phone ringing and the quote form filled.
Three ways to keep your website working after launch — hosting and care at the base, Google visibility on top, and full growth work at the highest tier. Every service is also sold on its own.
Tier 1
BlueGrid Foundation
$199/ month USD
Keep your website reliable, protected and professionally supported.
✓Your website stays online and available to customers
✓Routine problems are identified and corrected
✓Your online presence remains current and functional
✓Professional website support is available when needed
BlueGrid’s standard custom website is $1,500 USD flat, one time, with 50% due before work begins and 50% due before launch. Monthly packages begin after the website launches.
Foundation, Elevate and Signature do not include the initial website build.
Individual monthly value reflects BlueGrid’s standard pricing for purchasing the same service scopes separately. It is an indication of value only and does not guarantee financial returns, search rankings, traffic, leads, sales or revenue. Package inclusions are limited to the scope stated; work beyond that scope is quoted separately. Third-party subscription and software costs are billed separately.
Single services
Only need one thing? Buy just that.
Not everyone wants a monthly package. Every service below is sold on its own, explained without the jargon.
Custom Website Design & Development
Starting at $1,500 one time
We build you a brand-new website from scratch, by hand. Not a template a thousand other businesses are using — one made for your business and the work you actually do.
Like having a shop built to suit you, instead of moving into an empty unit and hoping it fits.
SEO Foundations
$149/month
The groundwork that helps Google understand what you do and where you do it, so it puts you in front of the customer instead of a competitor.
Nobody can promise you the top spot. Anyone who does is selling you something.
Website Hosting
$30/month or $300/year
Your website has to sit on a computer that stays switched on day and night, or nobody can see it. That’s hosting. We rent that space, look after it, and keep your site up.
Paying yearly saves you two months.
Website Performance Monitoring
$49/month
We keep an eye on how fast your website loads and tell you when something starts dragging. Most people give up after a few seconds of waiting and go back to Google.
The fastest way to lose a customer is to make them wait.
Website Redesigns
$1,500 one time
You already have a website, but it’s old, slow, or you’d rather not send people to it. We rebuild it properly and keep everything that was already working.
Same address, same business. New building.
Website Management
Starting at $199/month
When your hours change, a price goes up, or something stops working, you send us a message and we take care of it. You never have to log into anything.
You ring us, we fix it. That’s the whole arrangement.
Local SEO
Starting at $199/month
When somebody nearby types “plumber near me” into Google, we work on getting your business to come up. This is about the people in your town, not the whole country.
Being the name that comes up when a neighbour goes looking.
Google Business Profile Optimization
$199 one time
That box beside Google with your hours, photos, reviews and a little map. Most are half-empty or plain wrong. We set yours up properly, once.
It’s often the first thing a customer sees. Usually before your website.
Google Business Profile Management
$149/month
Once it’s set up, someone has to keep it alive: posts, photos, answering reviews, updating hours over the holidays. That’s this.
A profile that hasn’t been touched in two years tells customers something.
Advanced SEO & Local Visibility
Starting at $499/month
The heavier ongoing work for competitive areas: deeper keyword strategy, technical fixes, competitor tracking, and building your presence across the web.
For when the basics aren’t enough because everyone else is doing them too.
Performance & Conversion Optimization
$249/month
Two jobs together: making the site faster, and getting more of the people already on it to actually pick up the phone instead of having a look and leaving.
Same number of visitors. More of them ringing you.
AI Business Solutions
Custom quote
A helper on your website that answers common questions at any hour, takes the caller’s details, and passes them straight to you — including at two in the morning.
It catches the ones you’d otherwise miss.
Domain & DNS Management
Custom quote
Your web address — the yourbusiness.com part — and the settings behind it. We register it, keep it renewed, and make sure it never quietly expires.
Losing your web address is a genuinely terrible day.
Business Email Setup
Custom quote
Email ending in your own business name instead of gmail. We set it up so it looks professional and so your messages reach the inbox, not the junk folder.
you@yourbusiness.com reads very differently to yourbusiness1987@gmail.com.
Ongoing Technical Support
Custom quote
When something breaks, or you don’t understand what you’re looking at, you contact a real person who already knows your website and explains it in plain English.
No ticket numbers, no hold music, no jargon.
Pricing
One price. No games.
Most companies make you ask. We’d rather you knew before we’ve even spoken.
Design, words, launch — nothing goes live until you’ve seen it and signed off.
You own it all
Your code, your content, your domain. If you ever leave, everything leaves with you.
Half now, half at the end
You never pay in full for something you haven’t seen finished.
The obvious question
Why is it $1,500 when agencies charge ten times that?
It’s a fair thing to ask, and the answer isn’t that we cut corners on the work. It’s that we don’t carry the costs a large agency has to pass on to you.
We operate lean
No downtown office, no layers of staff between you and the people building your website. That overhead has to come from somewhere — usually your invoice.
Our tooling does the repetitive work
We’ve built an efficient process backed by automation, so our time goes into the parts of your website that actually need a human.
You talk to the people doing the work
No account manager relaying messages. You deal directly with the two people whose names are on the company.
Lower price, same standard of work. You’re not paying for unnecessary staff and expenses — you’re paying for the website.
Who you’ll be working with
Two people. Both of us on your project.
Most agencies hand you to whoever is free. At BlueGrid you get the founders — every time.
JB
Joshua Bignell
Founder & CEO
Leads operations, technology and service delivery — the build itself, and making sure what we promised is what you get.
SA
Seif Abdelmalek
Co-Founder & Head of Growth
Leads marketing, sales and client acquisition — the first conversation you have with us, and the plan that comes out of it.
