Custom websites for contractors. Your free mockup is ready within 3 days, and you see it before you pay a dime.
Anyone can say they build great websites. So here's the proof: watch one go from a blank plan sheet to a live site, then click through real sites we've launched.
The same four steps every client gets: plan the page, a free mockup in your colors, the build, then launch. Scroll and watch it happen.

From brand-new builds to rescuing an outdated site that's costing you customers — Salty Web Co covers the whole job.
A hand-built site designed around your business, your customers, and your goals — never a cookie-cutter template.
Got a site that's slow, dated, or embarrassing? We'll overhaul it — keep what works, gut what doesn't, rebuild it right.
We stand watch after launch. Hosting, backups, security updates, and edits — handled, so you can run your business.
Get found by the people down the street searching for exactly what you do — before they find your competitor.
Search rankings depend on factors outside anyone's control. We optimize thoroughly, but we don't guarantee a specific ranking or result.
Selling a product? A real store with a mobile cart and product pages, with Google Shopping set up so your products show up when people search.
Want the phone ringing sooner? We run your Google or Meta ads: the setup, a landing page on your site, and the tracking, with the ads account in your name.
Ad spend is separate: you pay Google or Meta directly, and we recommend at least $600 a month. Ads need 90 days to read. Needs a Salty-built site or Standing Watch.
Missing calls on the job? Dispatch answers when you can’t, says up front that it’s an AI, takes the caller’s details and emails them to you as soon as the call ends.
$199 a month, or $299 with booking; setup $399. Not offered to medical or dental offices.
Your leads, customers, jobs or orders behind a sign-in on your own site, built in your brand and run for you.
On a fire scene, everyone knows the plan and executes it. Your website gets built the same way.
A quick call to walk the scene: your business, your customers, what a win looks like. You talk, we listen.
We design your free homepage mockup, ready within 3 days, and map the full site. Nothing moves forward until you sign off.
We build the full site — fast, mobile-ready, SEO-tuned. A one-page site is live in about a week, bigger builds in two to three. Need it now? 24–72 hour rush builds, for an extra fee.
After the fire's out, you check for hot spots. We monitor, maintain, and update your site so it never flares up.
Salty Web Co is a first-responder-owned web design company based in Round Lake, Illinois, building custom websites for contractors and trade businesses across Lake County and McHenry County. The job taught us how to work: show up on time, tell the truth, handle it. That's exactly how we build websites.
When your livelihood is on the line, you want someone trained to stay calm and get it done. That's us — on scene and online.
No ticket queues, no offshore support maze. Call or email and a real person — the same person who built your site — gets back to you within one business day.
You'll know the full cost before we start. No hourly meters running, no surprise invoices, no upsell ambush.
Roofers, landscapers, excavators, HVAC and concrete crews — hardworking outfits that need a site that books jobs, not a brochure.
We build bilingual sites with a language toggle — like the one on this page. Round Lake Beach and Round Lake Heights have large Spanish-speaking customer bases, and almost nobody else in the county is serving them online.
They did an amazing job with my website… I’ve actually seen an increase in leads and new business since working with them, which is exactly what you want from a website.
I needed help with a website and it couldn’t have been any easier!
I had a website created for me from another company that was no where near as good as the site Salty Web Co made. I cancelled my plan with that company and switched. …his price was really affordable and worth every dollar!
We build contractor websites for the people who work with their hands — roofers, landscapers, excavators, and every trade in between. You're not hiring a marketing agency in a glass tower. You're hiring a firefighter who shows up on time, tells you straight, and gets it done.
Roofing, siding, gutters, windows and storm restoration. Sites built to turn a torn-off roof into the next three jobs on your street.
Grading, demolition, septic, foundations, land clearing and hauling. Heavy work deserves a site that shows the iron and the finished job.
Design-build, patios, retaining walls, irrigation and lawn care. Your portfolio is the whole pitch — we make sure it actually gets seen.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, concrete, paving, fencing, tree service, decks and remodeling. If you run a crew, we build for you.

Working with trade and contractor businesses and local small businesses across Round Lake, Lake County and McHenry County — and remote-friendly anywhere else.
We're local. That means we know the difference between a Chain O'Lakes waterfront property and a Grayslake new-build subdivision, and we build contractor websites that rank for the towns you actually work in — not some generic radius a national agency drew on a map.
Don't see your town? If you're anywhere in the northwest Chicago suburbs — or across the line into southern Wisconsin — just ask. We travel for the right job and work remotely for everything else.
Web design by town: Gurnee, Grayslake, Libertyville, Mundelein, Waukegan, Round Lake Beach, Fox Lake, Antioch, Lake Villa, Wauconda.
Every project starts with a free mockup, and every build splits 50/50 — half down to start, half to launch. Nothing hidden, nothing hourly.
Every build ships with click-to-call, tap-to-text, a lead form that never loses a lead, spam protection, English and Spanish, and call tracking events. Standard on every tier — not upsells.
One-time builds. Every one splits 50/50 — half down to start, half to launch.
Already have a website? We don't move your domain, and you keep your search history. Every old page forwards to the right place, so nothing 404s and nothing gets lost — your rankings come with you.
Included free inside Second AlarmEvery plan is month-to-month. No contract, cancel anytime, and your site and data stay yours either way.
Google Search and Local Services ads for trades, Google Shopping for stores, Meta for local consumer businesses. Month to month, with the ads account in your name. Needs a Salty-built site or Standing Watch.
We open the Google or Meta ads account in your business's name, with billing on your card. If you ever leave, it stays yours, history and all.
A tracked call or a form sent from the ad's landing page. Each one lands in your lead alerts, the same place your website leads already go.
Already advertising on Yelp, or thinking about it? Ask us. We can tell you where that stands for your trade and what it would take to run.
Same flat pricing, built for the brands our contractors buy from. A real store, and the sheets a buyer asks for.
Prices are in U.S. dollars and exclude any applicable taxes, domain registration, and third-party service fees. The free mockup is genuinely free with no obligation to buy; it stays our property unless you hire us and pay in full. Full details in our Terms of Service.
The things contractors and business owners ask us before they hire us. Don't see yours? Pick up the phone.
You'll get the person who builds your site, not a sales rep.
