A website that gets the phone to ring, and that you can change yourself
Rune builds custom websites for contractors and trade businesses anywhere in the country. They load fast for a homeowner standing in the yard, rank for the towns you actually work in, and run on Skal, our editor, so you change photos, services, and your license number without paying a developer.

The jobs you lose without knowing it
The first site to load gets the call
When a fence blows over or a pipe bursts, the homeowner searches on a phone and calls whoever loads first. A slow template site loses jobs you never hear about.
You rank in your town, but not the next one over
Most contractors work a dozen towns and only show up in one. Real service-area pages, each written for the place, are how you get found where the work is.
Every change means a call to the web guy
New project photos, a new service, an updated license or phone number. On most contractor sites that is an hourly invoice. It should be two minutes on your phone.
Leads that slip through the cracks
A contact form that emails a box nobody checks is a lost job. Every estimate request should be saved, emailed right away, and easy to find later.
In a side-by-side Google Lighthouse test on mobile, a typical template site took 9.1 seconds to load. A Rune custom build took 2.8.
Built for how contractors actually get work
Every site is custom, hand-built, and yours to keep.
Fast on a phone
Hand-built pages, not a page builder. Click-to-call and "request an estimate" are always one tap away.
Pages for the towns you serve
Service-area and service pages written for the searches you want to win, with the structure Google uses for local results.
Edit it yourself on Skal
Open a page, change the text or drop in photos from the last job, hit Publish. From a laptop or from the truck.
Every estimate request saved
Submissions are stored on your site and emailed the moment they arrive, so a lead never depends on one inbox.
License and insurance up front
License number, bonding, and insurance live in one place and show everywhere they should. Change it once, it updates everywhere.
Your real work, shown well
Project galleries built around your own photos, organized by service, so homeowners see what you actually build.
Sites we have built for the trades
Live projects, with the story of how each one was built.
Willard Fence Co.
A licensed Chico fence contractor with its own metal shop, from backyard fences to twelve-foot court enclosures. Drawn fence elevations instead of stock photos, and 29 pages built to win local search. Runs on Skal.
NorCal Surfaces
Pickleball courts, Rubber Stone pool decks, and epoxy garage floors across Northern California, with an interactive court planner and 29 pages built to win local search. Runs on Skal.
Streamline Fencing
A warm, photo-led site for a Chico fence and gate contractor - now running on Skal, so the owner edits his own pages on a visual canvas.
Questions contractors ask us
Do you build websites for contractors outside California?
Yes. We are based in Chico, California, and build for contractors anywhere in the US. Everything runs over phone, email, and video, and you work directly with the person building your site.
Can I really update the site myself?
Yes. Sites built on Skal let you edit text, swap photos, add pages, and change business details like your phone or license number on a visual canvas. No code, and no developer in the loop.
Will the site help me show up on Google in the towns I work?
That is what it is built for. Fast pages, service and service-area pages written for real searches, structured data, and guidance on your Google Business Profile, which matters just as much as the site for local results.
I do not have good photos of my work. Is that a problem?
Not to get started. We launch with what you have and set up galleries you can add to from your phone after each job. Real jobsite photos, even from a phone, beat stock photos every time.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The site, the code, and your content are yours. There is no page-builder subscription holding your website hostage.
