I build websites for US contractors and trade businesses: clear service pages, local SEO for the areas you cover and simple automation that moves each inquiry into your office without retyping.
In 30 minutes we look at your services, your service area and what happens after someone requests an estimate. Then we discuss which next steps make sense.
German website designs, a pro bono project, a product website and two fictional pool concepts. Every project is labelled.
Show your services, the areas you serve and the kind of jobs you take on.
Real project photos, the license and insurance details you provide and a clear process help people decide.
A visible phone number, a short request form and the right questions give your office what it needs to respond.
Show what you do, where you work and why customers can trust you. Distinctive design, clear copy and a contact path that works on a phone.
Pages built around the services and service areas you actually cover, with technical SEO and consistent business details on your website and Google Business Profile.
Form entries copied by hand, missing details, slow callbacks: we find the steps worth connecting and use tools that fit how your office already works.
At Schmidt Consulting you work directly with the person building your website. I start with your trade, the jobs you want more of and the office tasks that take up too much of your time.
I’m based in Burgkunstadt, a small town in northern Bavaria, Germany. I worked in construction myself for a long time, so I know how little time is left for the website and the paperwork. I’ve been doing this successfully for businesses here in Germany, and through my many contacts in the industry I now do the same for contractors in the US.
Projects run remotely, by email and video call, and the time difference works in your favor: I work while you sleep. Quality made in Germany, meant seriously.
More about meI grew up in Germany and converted to Orthodoxy as an adult — today I belong to a Russian Orthodox parish. Along the way I experienced first-hand how hard the first step can be, especially for Germans and converts.
Many churches have outdated sites that are rarely readable in German and seldom maintained. That is exactly where I build pro bono — multilingual, maintained and dignified, with the same care as a client project.
The full storyWe talk about your services, your service area, the jobs you want and the office tasks that take too long.
You get a written proposal covering pages, content, responsibilities and a fixed project price.
See the website before it goes live, with two consolidated feedback rounds.
We test the inquiry path together, then you get access and a walkthrough. Further support is agreed as needed.
A compact business website typically takes two to three weeks once content, the agreed deposit and the start date are confirmed.
We first check whether targeted changes to content, structure and the contact path are enough.
Maintain content, review search queries and improve relevant pages, with tasks and recurring costs agreed in advance.
Connect your website form to the tools your office already uses, one clear process at a time.
Before work begins, the deliverables, your contribution and the costs are set out in writing. New photography, extensive new copy, extra pages and integrations are quoted separately when needed.
Hoyer in Burgkunstadt and the Bamberg church in Germany, the Frankinz product website and two fictional pool concepts. Every project is labelled; none of them is a US client.
A good website doesn’t stop at the contact form. If your office retypes the same details or callbacks slip, the workflow behind the form is worth a look. One way it could connect:
that explain your work.
that make the next step clear.
whose performance we can review together.
We review your current website first. Clearer service pages, better contact options or technical fixes may be enough. A rebuild makes sense when the existing structure can’t support the agreed goals.
The price depends on pages, content and functionality. After our first call, you get a fixed project price with defined deliverables. Domain, hosting, maintenance and software costs are listed separately.
Everything runs remotely: email, shared files and video calls booked through the calendar. Questions and feedback are grouped, and you review a preview before launch. A compact website typically takes two to three weeks after content and the start date are confirmed.
If you want to make regular changes, we include a suitable editing system in the scope, along with access and a walkthrough. Larger changes can be handled separately.
You get the agreed access and, after full payment, the source code. The website runs in your own hosting account. Maintenance, technical updates and ongoing SEO can be agreed separately; a monthly contract is not required for the website itself.
No. Local SEO helps search engines understand your services and service area. Demand, competition, reviews and the website itself also affect inquiries. I don’t guarantee rankings, leads or revenue. We agree on search and inquiry measures to review together.
It can be, when the same task repeats every week: copying form entries into a job list, chasing missing details or sending a confirmation. We look at frequency, effort and mistakes before deciding what is worth automating.
Clear service pages, SEO for the areas you cover and an easier path to requesting an estimate.
