In a handyman's week
Where a handyman website actually helps
Any evening
Small jobs book themselves
A Book button lets people pick a time for a visit, and the details reach you by email before you call back.
Landlords and realtors
Send one link for repeat work
Property managers and realtors need someone for small fixes before showings and move-ins. One link shows what you do and how to book.
Jobs, rates and repeat customers
How your jobs, rates and repeat customers work on your site
A handyman's best customers rarely type "handyman". They type the one thing that's bugging them: "TV mounting", "furniture assembly", "drywall repair", "fix a leaky faucet". A short page for each kind of job means you turn up for all those small searches, and the person with ten of them on a list finds out you do them all.
Say what you don't do too: big renos, jobs for licensed trades, work outside your area. It saves you calls you'd turn down and tells people you know where your work ends.
Price questions eat your evenings. Your hourly rate, your minimum visit and what costs extra, said plainly, filter out the people who were only shopping around. A request form that takes photos lets you price the rest before you drive over.
The best handyman customers come back: landlords, property managers, busy families, seniors who trust you. Make the next visit easy to book, and leave a door hanger or a card with a QR code after every job.
Your QR codes, included
Put your website wherever a job ends
3 QR codes in your branding come with your site, ready to print. A phone camera is all anyone needs to open your page from one.
Door hangersLeft after every job, and on the neighbours' doors
Your vanSeen at every job and every red light
Business cardsYour card leads to every job you do, not just a number
Receipts and invoicesSo the next fix comes back to you

What handymen ask us
Can people send photos of the job?
Yes. The request form takes photos, so you can see the job and price it before you drive over.
Can I list the jobs I don't do?
Yes, and it helps. Big renos, jobs for licensed trades, work outside your area: say it once and get fewer calls you'd turn down.
Can I show my rates?
Yes. Your hourly rate, your minimum visit and what costs extra. Plain prices bring calls from people who are ready to book.
I do a lot of work for landlords. Can the site speak to them?
Yes. A page for landlords and property managers can explain how you handle repeat work, keys and invoices.
Can customers book a visit online?
Yes. Online booking comes with your site, and each booking reaches you by email.
Is a full website worth it for small jobs?
It depends where your work comes from. If a few regulars keep you busy, a card may be enough. If you want strangers searching "TV mounting" or "drywall repair" in your area to find you, that's what the full site with a page per job does.
Is there something smaller than a full website?
Yes, the Digital Business Card: one page with your buttons, your photo and a QR code, $99 a year. Lots of handymen use it first and upgrade later.
Will I show up when someone searches "handyman near me"?
That depends on more than a website: your Google listing, your reviews and the other handymen nearby all count. Our part is a site search engines read easily, with your services, areas and contact details clearly laid out.
Are there setup fees or hidden costs?
No setup fee. The draft is free, and after you say yes it's $299 a year. The only thing you'd buy separately is your own domain name, like yourhandyman.ca.
See your handyman website before you pay anything.
