For a remodeler, the portfolio is the website

Emergency trades sell availability. Remodelers sell evidence. That changes what the site is for and what has to be on it.

Module 4 of the Castells Media academy for contractors: The website.

What the visitor is actually doing

A page per project, not a gallery of tiles

Ranges, not silence, on price

The trust column

What one project page has to carry. Score your three best projects. A remodeler with three complete project pages outsells one with thirty thumbnails, because the buyer is looking for evidence, not volume.

Do this next: Pick your single best finished job and write its page properly, all five parts. Then do the next one. Three complete pages beat a gallery.
