N.01 The problem

A missed call is a booked job for the other guy.

You are on a roof, under a sink, or elbow deep in a panel. The phone rings and you can't answer. Most callers won't leave a voicemail. They just scroll to the next name and book with whoever picks up first.

Speed wins the job. The first business to respond usually gets it.

Most callers won't leave a voicemail. They just call the next name on the list. No message, no callback, no job.
1st to reply usually wins. Homeowners book fast and stop shopping once someone answers.
24/7 your site never sleeps. It quotes and captures leads at 2pm and 2am the same.
N.02 The math

One saved job pays for the site for months.

You don't need a marketing report to see it. Look at what one job is worth to you, then look at what the site costs. It's not close.

A rough idea of what one job is worth around here. Yours will differ; plug in your own numbers and the punchline holds:

Furnace replacement
$4,800 – $6,200
Heat pump install
$6,000 – $14,000
Panel upgrade
$2,500 – $4,500
Interlock patio
$6,000 – $18,000

Ballpark job values only. Your pricing is your own; this is just to do the math.

One furnace replacement you catch$4,800
A full year of the Business plan−$4,788
You're still ahead by$12+

Catch one extra job a year and the site's paid for. Catch one a month and it's not a cost; it's your best-paid salesperson, working nights.

N.03 What you get

A website that earns its keep, not an online brochure.

Most trades websites just sit there looking nice. Yours is a tool: it brings in work, follows up on its own, and shows you the numbers behind it.

Found & fast

Designed sharp, built to be found

A custom design that suits your trade and loads fast on a phone, built to show up when locals search Google, and when they ask ChatGPT who to call.

Custom, no templatesMobile firstShows up on GoogleFound by AI assistants
Quote & capture

Quotes and follows up on its own

The built-in estimator hands homeowners an honest ballpark any hour, drops every request in your dashboard, and fires off a confirmation text the moment they hit submit. Nothing slips into voicemail.

Instant estimateOwner dashboardAuto-text
Local & fair

A local studio, not a call centre

You text one person in Halifax, the one who actually builds and runs your site. No ticket queue, no account manager, no chasing anyone for a change. Need the hours updated or a new photo up? It's done, usually same day.

One point of contactSame-day updatesNo account managers
N.04 The lead machine

Catch every lead, then let it follow up for you.

A homeowner gets a real ballpark, the lead hits your dashboard, and the follow-up starts on its own.

N.05 The work

The build quality every client gets.

We're new, and honest about it: no trades site live yet. So here's the craft instead: real, hand-built sites for real Nova Scotia businesses, each one sounding like the owner, not a template. Yours gets the same care.

N.06 Why not just…

Three ways to get a website. Here's the honest trade-off.

A big agency and a DIY builder can both work. Here's where each one costs you, so you can pick with your eyes open.

A $5K+ agency build
The classic route
Upfront cost$5,000–$10,000 before a single lead comes in.
Who does the workThey build it, then hand you the keys and move on.
Captures & quotes leadsUsually a good-looking brochure. A quote tool costs extra, if they offer one.
Ongoing supportA separate retainer, or you're on your own for changes.
DIY (Wix / Squarespace)
The weekend project
Upfront costCheap in dollars, paid for in your nights and weekends.
Who does the workYou do. And you maintain it, forever.
Captures & quotes leadsA basic contact form at best. No estimator, no lead dashboard.
Ongoing supportHelp articles and a chatbot. You're the support.
Alp Web Studio
Built and run for you
Upfront cost$0. A fair monthly price, month-to-month.
Who does the workWe build it and keep it running. One person you can text.
Captures & quotes leadsEstimator, owner dashboard, and SMS built in on Business.
Ongoing supportIncluded. Hosting, updates, and changes, just ask.

N.07 Who builds it

The person who builds it, start to finish.

I'm Brendon, and I build every Alp site myself. Before this I spent years on an escalated support team at one of North America's biggest website companies, the crew that fixed what the front line couldn't. I've touched thousands of small-business sites and learned the plumbing most builders skip: hosting, DNS, SSL, and email that actually lands.

So your site is built around how you price and win work, on footing that holds up. I move fast, cut the wasted steps, and you deal with the person who builds it, not an account manager.

N.08 How it works

Once we have what we need, you're live in about five business days.

Three steps, in order, with no surprises along the way.

01

Book a demo

A 15-minute call with no deck and no pressure. We hear what you want from your web presence, walk you through a live example, and show how the whole thing works. If it won't pay for itself, we'll say so.

About 15 minutes
02

We build and tune

We design your site and the quote estimator around the way you actually charge. You review a preview link, tell us what to change, and we handle two rounds of edits, no back-and-forth chaos.

About 5 business days
03

Launch and catch leads

We push it live and your first lead lands in the dashboard. From there we keep it running, with hosting, updates, and content tweaks, all month to month.

Ongoing

N.10 Questions

Questions trades owners ask us.

The short answers owners want before they sign. No lock-in, no hidden fees, no financing trap.

Don't see your question?

Call (902) 225-5280 hello@alpwebstudio.com

Won't showing prices online cost me room to negotiate?

You set and control every range, and they're deliberately wide ballparks, not binding quotes. A homeowner sees a starting point, not your final number, and you can update the ranges any time. Rather not show prices at all? We can run the estimator in capture-only mode: it asks the same questions and drops the lead in your dashboard without showing a dollar figure.

Can I change the quote ranges later?

Yes, any time. Email us the new numbers and we update them, usually the same day, at no extra charge. Your prices move with the seasons and your costs, so the estimator should too.

Why is there no upfront build fee?

Paying three to ten thousand dollars up front for a website is a tough call when you can't see the leads yet. We'd rather build the site, get it earning, and charge a fair monthly rate. If it doesn't pull its weight, you cancel, with no penalty.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel any time by email with no penalty, and it takes effect at the end of the billing month. You keep your website files. The lead dashboard and estimator are our own software, so those stay with us, but your site is yours.

What is included in $399 a month?

A custom one to five page website, the quote estimator, your owner lead dashboard, hosting, an SSL certificate, security, monthly backups, uptime monitoring, and content updates on request. That covers text changes, photo swaps, hours, and one new section a month.

How fast can the website go live?

About five business days from a signed scope to launch, as long as we have your business details, your services, and a few photos. The quote estimator takes a couple of those days because we tune it to the way you actually price work.

Do you guarantee Google rankings?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. We cover the on-page SEO basics at launch, things like page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and image alt text, but no honest agency controls where Google ranks you. We track the leads your site brings in instead, because that's the number that pays the bills.

How much does a trades website cost in Nova Scotia?

There is no upfront build cost. A single-page landing site starts at $99 a month, and a custom one to five page business site is $399 a month with the quote estimator and owner lead dashboard included. Larger portals or web apps are custom quoted, and you can cancel any time.

What trades do you build websites for?

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, and general contracting, plus most other trades in Nova Scotia that quote residential or light commercial work and lose jobs to missed calls. Not sure you fit? Email hello@alpwebstudio.com and ask.

Why do trades businesses lose jobs to missed calls?

Most callers won't leave a voicemail. If you're on a roof or under a sink and can't pick up, they just dial the next company. A website that hands visitors an instant quote and captures the lead 24/7 means those jobs land in your dashboard instead of walking to a competitor.
