Web Developer for a Complete Service Website

I’m looking for an experienced web designer/developer to create a professional, production-ready website for a residential garage door company serving Palm Beach County, Florida.

This will be a complete local-service business website—not a basic five-page template. The goal is to generate phone calls and service requests, rank well in local search results, explain our services clearly, and make it easy for homeowners to diagnose a problem and schedule service.

Estimated Website Size

The initial website will have approximately 30–40 pages, including:

* Homepage
* About Us
* Contact Us
* Book Service
* Request an Estimate
* Customer Reviews
* Project Gallery
* Service Areas directory
* Resources/blog directory
* Privacy Policy
* Terms of Service
* SMS/Text Messaging Policy
* Accessibility Statement
* Individual service pages
* Individual city/service-area pages
* Three initial educational articles
* Reusable templates for adding future services, cities, and articles

Individual Service Pages

The website should include dedicated pages for:

* Broken torsion spring repair
* General garage door repair
* Garage door opener repair
* New opener installation
* Cable and drum repair
* Roller replacement
* Off-track garage doors
* Safety-sensor problems
* Preventive maintenance and tune-ups
* New garage door installation
* Garage door panel replacement
* Hurricane-rated garage doors
* Emergency garage door service

Each service page should have its own content, photos, frequently asked questions, calls to action, contact form, SEO title, meta description, and structured data where appropriate.

Service-Area Pages

The website should include individual local landing pages for approximately 10 Palm Beach County cities, including:

* Boynton Beach
* Boca Raton
* Delray Beach
* Lake Worth
* West Palm Beach
* Wellington
* Greenacres
* Palm Beach Gardens
* Jupiter
* Lantana

Each page should be properly structured for local SEO without using thin, duplicated, or automatically generated spam content.

Homepage Requirements

The homepage should include:

* Strong headline and service-area message
* Click-to-call phone number
* Book Service and Request an Estimate buttons
* Emergency-service callout
* Company trust indicators
* Main services organized by customer problem
* Repair and replacement categories
* Starting-price or estimate labels that can be edited
* Company experience and service statistics
* Interactive troubleshooting tool
* ZIP-code coverage checker
* Customer-review section
* Hurricane-rated door information
* Recent-project gallery
* Educational articles
* Frequently asked questions
* Garage door brands serviced
* Business hours
* Final call-to-action section
* Full mobile navigation and footer

Online Service-Request Form

Customers should be able to submit:

* Name
* Phone number
* Email address
* Service address
* ZIP code
* Type of service needed
* Description of the problem
* Preferred appointment date or time
* Optional photo upload
* Permission to receive calls or text messages

Submissions should be delivered reliably by email and stored somewhere accessible so leads are not lost. The form must include spam protection, validation, a confirmation message, and conversion tracking.

Please specify whether your quote includes email notifications, SMS notifications, lead storage, or CRM integration.

Interactive Troubleshooting Tool

The website should have a five-step customer troubleshooting questionnaire.

Customers will answer questions about what the garage door is doing, such as:

* Door is stuck closed
* Door is stuck open
* A loud bang was heard
* Opener clicks but the door does not move
* Door is crooked or off track
* Door is noisy
* Safety-sensor lights are blinking

Based on the answers, the tool should display:

* Most likely problem
* Basic explanation
* Potential safety risk
* Recommended next step
* General price range when appropriate
* Button to call or schedule service

This is an informational tool and should not present its result as a guaranteed diagnosis.

ZIP-Code Coverage Checker

Customers should be able to enter a five-digit ZIP code and receive one of the following results:

* The ZIP code is inside the normal service area
* The ZIP code may require availability confirmation
* The ZIP code is currently outside the service area

The approved ZIP-code list must be easy for the business owner to update.

Project Gallery

The gallery should support:

* Real project photographs
* Before-and-after images when available
* Project title
* City
* Service category
* Short project description
* Category filters for repairs, openers, new doors, and hurricane doors
* An easy way to add new projects

Reviews

The website should be prepared to display real customer reviews from Google.

Please explain whether your quote includes:

* Live Google review integration
* Manually added verified reviews
* A link for customers to leave a Google review
* Google rating and review-count updates

No fabricated reviews, ratings, customer names, or service stories may be used.

Blog and Resource Center

The website should include a resource section with at least three initial educational articles and a reusable article template.

The business owner must be able to add future articles without hiring a developer each time.

Articles should support:

* Featured image
* Category
* Author or company name
* Publication and updated dates
* Reading time
* Headings
* Internal links
* FAQ section
* SEO title and description
* Article structured data

Local SEO Requirements

The website should be built with local organic search performance in mind. The project should include:

* Search-friendly page structure
* Unique titles and meta descriptions
* Proper heading hierarchy
* Clean URLs
* Internal linking
* XML sitemap
* Robots.txt
* Canonical URLs
* Image alt text
* LocalBusiness structured data
* Service structured data
* FAQ structured data where eligible
* Article structured data
* Open Graph and social-sharing information
* Google Analytics setup
* Google Search Console setup
* Conversion tracking for calls and form submissions
* Connection to the company’s Google Business Profile where appropriate

I am not requesting guaranteed Google rankings. I am requesting a website built according to sound technical and local SEO practices.

Design Requirements

The website should feel like an established, trustworthy South Florida home-service company.

It should be:

* Custom branded
* Professional and modern
* Clean and easy to understand
* Designed to generate calls and bookings
* Fully responsive on phones, tablets, and desktops
* Easy to use for older homeowners
* Built with clear buttons and readable text
* Consistent across all service and location pages
* Accessible using reasonable WCAG practices
* Optimized for fast loading

The design should not look like an unfinished AI-generated website or a lightly modified generic template.

Content and Accuracy

I will provide accurate business information, including the company name, phone number, service areas, services, pricing information, license information, business hours, branding, and available photographs.

Please state whether your price includes:

* Copywriting
* Editing supplied content
* Sourcing licensed stock photography
* Photo optimization
* Creating original graphics or icons
* Uploading and formatting all page content

No placeholder information or invented claims may remain when the website is launched. This includes fake reviews, fake ratings, inaccurate license numbers, unverified certifications, fabricated project details, or unsupported guarantees.

Technical Requirements

The website should include:

* A user-friendly content management system
* SSL security
* Automated backups
* Form and spam protection
* Basic security configuration
* Image compression
* Caching and performance optimization
* Mobile and desktop testing
* Cross-browser testing
* Proper redirects and error pages
* Cookie and privacy configuration where required
* Reliable hosting recommendations
* Ability to add pages without rebuilding the website
* No unnecessary dependence on the original developer

I am open to WordPress or another suitable platform, but applicants should explain why they recommend their chosen technology.

Ownership and Handoff

When the project is complete, I must receive:

* Full ownership of the website
* Complete source files and code
* Administrator access
* Domain and DNS access
* Hosting access
* Database access
* Analytics and Search Console access
* Access to all forms and integrations
* Access to any licensed themes or plugins
* Instructions for basic updates
* A backup of the finished website

The website cannot remain locked inside the developer’s personal hosting or software account. Any recurring software, plugin, hosting, API, or licensing costs must be disclosed before work begins.

Project Boundaries

The first version does not require:

* Online payments
* E-commerce
* Customer accounts
* Technician accounts
* Dispatching software
* Inventory management
* A mobile app

Any recommended features outside this scope should be quoted separately.

Please Include in Your Proposal

1. Relevant local-service websites you have completed
2. Your recommended platform and technology
3. A fixed-price estimate for the complete project
4. A breakdown of what is included
5. Estimated completion time
6. Number of design revisions included
7. Whether copywriting and content entry are included
8. Whether the troubleshooting tool and ZIP checker are included
9. Hosting and recurring software costs
10. Warranty or post-launch support period
11. Optional monthly maintenance price
12. Payment schedule and project milestones

Please provide a realistic quote based on the complete scope. Generic offers that do not address the specific features above will not be considered.
