Website Design for Electricians
A site for an electrical contractor has a few jobs to do on a phone screen: show who you are, show your TECL license number, and make it one tap to call. Here’s how we lay one out, what Texas requires on it, and what it costs.
Six blocks, top to bottom.
Homeowners and builders skim. We put the answer to each question they have in the order they ask it.
- Name, TECL number, phone. Right at the top, in the header, so nobody scrolls to find them.
- What you take on. Service changes, panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, new construction: only what you actually want booked.
- Where your trucks go. Every city in your service area, named one by one.
- Proof. Real job photos, your Google rating, and the licenses you hold.
- A short request form. Business name and phone are the only required fields, so it takes seconds.
- Footer. License number again, phone again, and the TDLR consumer line if you want it there too.

Your license number goes in the ad.
Under 16 TAC §73.51(e), all advertising by electrical contracting companies designed to solicit electrical business must include the contractor’s name and license number. A website that asks for jobs is advertising, so we print the name and number in the header and footer of every page. TDLR’s compliance guide shows the vehicle format: the letters TECL before the number, as in “TECL 1234.” We use the same format on the site so it matches your trucks.

What the site doesn’t replace.
The same rule, §73.51(f), puts your name, address, phone, license number and the TDLR “Regulated by” statement on proposals, invoices and written contracts. That’s your paperwork, not ours. The website only carries what the advertising rule asks for, plus whatever you want customers to see.

Built for a thumb, not a mouse.
Tap to call everywhere
A call button in the header, the hero, and a bar pinned to the bottom of the screen on phones.
Fast on a weak signal
Compressed images and very little script, so the page shows up quickly from a driveway or a job trailer.
One number
The same phone number on the site and on your Google Business Profile. Google asks for a number under your direct control.
They should tell the same story.
Google’s guidelines ask for your real-world business name with no extra keywords, one profile per business, and a hidden address if you work at the customer’s location. We match the site to those details so the name, phone and towns read the same in both places.
What a client said about his website.
We don’t have an electrician’s review to share yet. Luis Madera runs Cam Collision, a body shop in New Braunfels. Here is his Google review of the website we built him, word for word:
“I have owned a business for 6 years now and never made a website for two reasons, one I have been luck enough to stay busy and the other is because I'm extremely picky with work that I provide and received. Darren built me a website that was just perfect! Everything about it was exactly what I was looking for and more. I am glad it took me 6 years to get one. Any sooner and I would have missed out on his talent. Thanks again”
What an electrician’s site costs here.
An electrician’s site is $599 once. Site Care, which is required, runs $59 a month and keeps the site hosted, secured and backed up, with a couple of small edits each month. Want the Google profile handled as well? That’s the Get Found Bundle, $799 up front and $249 monthly. Only need the profile built? $349 on its own, or $99 if you add Monthly GBP Management ($199 monthly). No long-term contracts. Monthly plans cancel anytime.
Google Business Profile is free from Google. Anyone can create and manage a profile at no cost. Our fees pay for our setup and management work. Working with a third party → (opens in a new tab)
All sales are final. Work starts when payment is received. Monthly plans renew automatically until you cancel; cancel anytime, effective at the end of your paid period. No refunds.
See your Google listing before you redo the site.
Fill in your company name and number. We search a job like a panel upgrade in your town, record what a homeowner sees, and send the clip back, typically by the next business day.
- A recorded walkthrough, about 3 minutes, of your electrical listing beside the first 3 shown on the map.
- The 3 fixes we’d tackle first, in order.
- Free, and the video is yours to keep.

Electricians ask about the site.
Do I have to show my license number on my website?
If the site solicits electrical business, 16 TAC §73.51(e) says the advertising must include your name and license number. We add both.
Can you list the work I don’t take?
We’d rather leave it off. Each service named on the site should be a job you want the phone to ring for.
How long does a build take?
About a week and a half of calendar time is typical: 5 to 7 business days once your content arrives, plus your 2 rounds of changes.
Who owns the domain and the content?
You. If we part ways, you keep the domain, the words and the photos.
Will you put my site on my trucks and cards?
We don’t print anything, but we’ll make sure the web address and TECL number on the site match what’s on your trucks.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contracts. Monthly plans cancel anytime.
