What we do
Six pieces that work together. Miss one and the whole thing underperforms — which is why we don't sell them à la carte unless you already have the rest handled.
Hand-coded, mobile-first sites built for contractors — no page builders, no bloat.
Learn moreRank in your service area for the jobs with real margin, not vanity keywords.
Learn moreOwn the map pack — the three results that get the calls before anyone scrolls.
Learn moreSub-second loads on cellular. Google ranks it, and customers feel it.
Seven in ten of your visitors are on a phone. That's where we design first.
Hosting, updates, backups, security and unlimited content edits — handled.
Recent work
Every one of these is hand-coded, in production today, and built around one job: turning a visitor into a phone call. Click through and judge them yourself.
Local repair shop with no site at all. Built so someone holding a dead laptop can act immediately — phone number, Google rating and booking button all sitting above the fold.
Cash home-buying operation that needed sellers to reach out before calling anyone else. Address-first form, short and specific, with the offer process spelled out on the page.
Diabetic-supply buyback service in a category people are wary of. Built around a quote form that says up front what you get paid and what happens next.
Performance
Speed isn't a technical vanity metric — it's the first filter every visitor passes through, and most contractor sites fail it before a word is read.
The typical contractor site
Representative mobile PageSpeed scores. Run yours at pagespeed.web.dev — under 50 means you're losing real work every week.
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking factor. A slow site is fighting the algorithm before it competes on anything else.
Most of your traffic is on a phone, often on cellular at a job site. Every extra second costs you roughly a fifth of those visitors.
Faster pages mean more visitors staying, more forms filled and better engagement signals — which feeds back into rankings.
Most contractor sites in your market load in four seconds or worse. It's the cheapest edge available and almost nobody takes it.
How it works
You'll know what's happening at every stage and who to call. That shouldn't be a selling point, and yet here we are.
Thirty minutes on the phone. What jobs make you the most money, what towns you'll drive to, who you keep losing bids to, and where leads are coming from now. No pitch deck.
We come back with the keyword research, a competitor teardown and a page-by-page plan. You see exactly what's getting built and what each page is meant to rank for before anyone writes code.
You review a design of the homepage first. Once it's approved, the rest of the site gets built to match and you get a live preview link you can watch fill in day by day.
We handle DNS, redirects and the Search Console setup so nothing drops. Then analytics and call tracking go live, and you get a monthly note on what's working.

Meet the owner
GME Designs is a one-person shop by design. Before this I spent years on the other side of the table — buying and renovating property in San Diego, hiring contractors, and watching good crews lose work to worse crews who simply showed up higher on Google.
That's the whole reason this business exists. I know what your day actually looks like, why you don't have time to fight with a website, and which jobs are worth chasing. When you call, you get me — not a ticket number.
Pricing
Same site either way. Monthly spreads the cost and keeps everything maintained; one-time hands you the keys. Pick whichever suits your cash flow.

Questions
If yours isn't here, call and ask. You'll get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
From the blog
No gatekeeping. If you'd rather do this yourself, these will get you most of the way there.
Web Design
The problem usually isn't design. It's that the site was never built to be found, and nobody told the owner that was a separate thing.
Local SEO
The map pack sends more calls than your website does. Here's the full list of what to fix, in the order that matters.
Performance
Every extra second of load time on mobile costs you roughly a fifth of your visitors. Here's what that works out to in real money.
