Web design in Cary, NC for trade companies
Firmkit writes hand-coded websites for plumbers, HVAC and electrical companies in Cary, North Carolina. The site is one part of The Kit, with a Google profile, a CRM and a text-back that answers a missed call inside 60 seconds.
What the website includes, and what it leaves out
| Included | A hand-coded website of up to eight pages, hosting, SSL and the domain wiring, and local SEO on the pages Firmkit builds. Also in the kit: a Google Business Profile set up and maintained with four posts a month, a CRM, missed-call text-back inside 60 seconds, an automated follow-up sequence, a review request after each closed job and one one-page report a month. |
|---|---|
| Not included | Ad spend and ad management, video production, and anything that needs a licensed professional Firmkit is not. Custom backend tools, up to three locations and two new pages or posts a month belong to the $1,750 Full Stack. |
| Price | $1,000 a month, with no setup fee and no build invoice. The first twenty clients keep that rate for as long as they stay. |
| Term | Twelve months from kickoff, then month to month with thirty days' notice. |
| Leaving early | If you leave before month twelve, the remaining months are due, or you can buy out the build for $2,500 and walk away with the site. |
| What you own | The code, your domain, your Google Business Profile, your customer data in the CRM, the photos from a Content Day and your tracked phone number. Handed over within fourteen days of leaving. |
How a Cary website gets built in 30 days
- Day 1. A short call. Firmkit looks at your Google profile and your site before it, so it is not a discovery session.
- Week 1. Audit and access. Your profile, site, phone path and map position are documented. Domain, hosting and profile access are transferred and a tracked number is turned on.
- Weeks 2 and 3. Build. The site is written page by page and reviewed with you. The profile is rebuilt and the CRM and text-back are configured.
- Day 30. Live. Redirects are mapped so nothing 404s, and the text-back is tested from a real phone.
Who this is for, and who it is not for
For: owner-operated plumbing, electrical and HVAC companies in and around Cary with one to eight trucks, where the owner still answers the phone. Roofing and other home services can fit too.
Not for: franchises, private-equity-owned shops, operations with 20 or more trucks and an in-house marketer, and companies already served by a national agency. Firmkit does not run Google Ads or Meta ads, and it does not do brand identity work.
The same system serves the nearby towns on the Triangle towns page. Trade-specific pages: plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Cary pages based on the Google results we checked: plumber marketing in Cary, electrician marketing in Cary and HVAC marketing in Cary.
Our one documented build

It is 65 hand-coded pages, 13 town pages with local schema, a corrected Google profile and 45 workflows across 8 pipelines. There are no paying clients to list, so there is no logo wall.

Questions
How much does web design cost in Cary, NC?
A Firmkit website comes with The Kit, which costs $1,000 a month on a 12‑month term, with setup included. There is no build invoice up front. Ad spend is not included.
Is the website hand-coded or WordPress?
Hand-coded. Firmkit writes the HTML, with no theme, no page builder and no plugin stack. The site is up to eight pages, built for a phone first, with schema so Google reads it correctly. Hosting, SSL and the domain wiring are included. The code is yours from the day it exists.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The website code, your domain, your Google profile, your customer data in the CRM, the photos from a Content Day and your tracked phone number are yours. When you leave, Firmkit hands over the code and an export of the data and transfers the domain and the number within fourteen days.
How long does the website take?
The kit goes live within 30 days of kickoff, or you stop paying until it is. Week 1 is audit and access. Weeks 2 and 3 are the build. Week 4 is cutover and a text-back test from a real phone. Delays on your side pause the thirty-day clock, not the calendar.
Does Firmkit guarantee Google rankings?
No. Firmkit guarantees the kit is live in 30 days, that every missed call gets a text back inside 60 seconds, and that your Google profile is maintained every month. Rankings, lead volume and revenue are not guaranteed, because nobody honest can promise them. Anyone promising a position is guessing.
Can I buy a website without the Google profile and CRM?
Yes. A one-off website is its own project, priced per project, for any business anywhere in the US. See website design for how that works. The Kit adds the Google profile, the CRM and the text-back for a monthly price.
