Describe your services and service area, and Netiva’s AI builds a site with town pages from your finished jobs, photo quote requests and an emergency form that emails your on-call inbox the moment it’s sent.
Build a website for a licensed electrical contractor with six electricians covering 14 towns. List services from a collection — panel upgrades, EV charger installs, rewiring, lighting and generator hookups — each with what’s included, whether a permit is usually needed and a pricing note. Give every town a page with its ZIP codes, local notes and the finished jobs linked to it, with before and after photos. Add a quote form that takes a panel photo and flags ZIP codes outside the area. Add an emergency form that shows the phone number first and emails the on-call inbox. Staff sign in to a request desk to update statuses.
Many homeowners search for an electrician on their phone with the lights out. A template site with one contact form and a dozen copy-pasted city pages fails them: Google’s spam policies count city pages built only to funnel visitors to one page as doorway abuse, and a 9 p.m. message about a burning smell can sit unread until morning. An electrician website built with Netiva keeps services, towns, finished jobs and requests in collections, so each town page shows work you did there, quotes arrive with panel photos and emergency requests reach the on-call inbox at once.
Panel upgrades, EV charger installs, rewiring, lighting and generator hookups each live as a record in one collection, and every service page renders from it with the finished jobs of that type.
Each town you cover has its own record with its ZIP codes, notes you write about local housing and permits and the jobs you finished there, so no two town pages read the same.
Customers say which service they need, enter their address and ZIP code, describe the job and add a photo of the panel or fitting, so you can size the work before you drive out.
The emergency page leads with your phone number and safety instructions, then takes the address, a callback number and what’s happening, and emails your on-call inbox as soon as it’s sent.
Netiva keeps your records in built-in collections. Here’s a starting structure — the agent adapts it to your prompt, and you can change it any time.
Every type of electrical work you offer, with the notes customers ask about first.
Each town you cover, with the local detail that makes its page worth reading.
Finished work, tied to a service and a town, that fills both kinds of page.
Every quote request and emergency call sent through the site.
Required field. Types are Netiva collection field types.
A typical first version. Ask the agent for more, or annotate the preview to change any of them.
What the job includes, the permit and pricing notes and recent jobs of that type with before and after photos, ending in a quote button.
PublicThe ZIP codes covered, your local notes, whether after-hours service calls reach the town and the jobs finished there.
PublicEvery job whose photo permission is Yes, with its photos, filtered by town and service, so visitors can find work close to home.
PublicThe service they need, address with a ZIP code check, a description and a photo upload; the customer gets an email copy of what they sent.
PublicA tap-to-call number and safety instructions first, then what’s happening, the address and a callback number; each request is emailed to the on-call inbox.
PublicNew emergencies on top, then quote requests by status, with customer photos, status changes and saved views for today’s callbacks.
Your teamTell Netiva which services you offer, which towns you cover and when you take after-hours calls. The agent drafts collections for services, towns, jobs and requests and the pages that use them.
Add finished jobs with photos in the collection grid and link each one to a town and a service. Write the local notes yourself; the collection assistant can tidy wording across many rows.
Submit a pretend emergency in the live preview, check that the email reaches the on-call phone and annotate the form wherever a question reads unclearly.
On the Starter plan or higher, connect your domain, publish in one click and use the same address on your vans and Google Business Profile. Every later change is checkpointed.
| Criterion | With Netiva | Traditional build |
|---|---|---|
| Town pages | Each town page built from that town’s ZIP codes, your local notes and jobs finished there | One template copied per town with only the city name swapped |
| After-hours calls | An emergency form that emails the on-call inbox the moment it’s sent, under a tap-to-call number | Voicemail or a general contact form nobody reads until morning |
| Getting started | Describe what you need in chat and watch it take shape in a live preview | Hire developers, or stitch together templates, plugins and a hosting plan |
| Content and data | Built-in collections with nine field types, bound straight to your pages | Set up and connect a separate database or CMS |
| Making changes | Ask the agent; every change is checkpointed and reversible | File a ticket, wait for a sprint, redeploy |
| Hosting and domain | Global hosting and automatic SSL; connect a custom domain from the Starter plan | Buy hosting, then install and renew SSL certificates yourself |
| Code ownership | Clean production code you own and can export | Locked into a template, plugin or agency setup |
An owner-operator covers 11 towns but has finished work in only four, so four town pages are live, each with its ZIP codes, permit notes and the jobs done there. The rest stay hidden until the first job in that town is logged.
Residential and commercial services sit in separate lists, the office manager works the request desk each morning and after-hours service calls from shops and offices go to a shared on-call inbox.
The quote form asks for the charger model, a photo of the panel and the distance from the panel to the parking spot, and each town page shows the garage installs finished there.
Netiva apps send email, not texts or push notifications. Keep a tap-to-call number at the top of the emergency page and make sure whoever is on call gets email alerts on their phone.
A web form is the wrong first step when there’s smoke, fire or a downed line. Your emergency page should tell people to call 911 or the power company first, in wording you choose.
Contractor advertising rules vary by state. California, for example, requires licensed contractors to put their license number in all forms of advertising. Check your state board’s rules before you publish.
Google suggests a Business Profile service area of no more than about two hours’ drive from your base, and its spam policies target city pages that only funnel visitors elsewhere. Add towns as you finish work in them.
Only for towns where you have something real to say. Google’s spam policies treat pages aimed at specific cities that funnel visitors to one page as doorway abuse. Each town page here is built from its own ZIP codes, your local notes and the jobs you finished there, and the site can keep a town hidden until at least one finished job is linked to it.
When someone sends the emergency form, the site emails the request to the inbox you choose, with the address, callback number and what’s happening. Netiva apps send email, not texts or push notifications, so the page should show your phone number first. If you run a rotation, ask the agent for an on-call collection so each request goes to whoever is on duty that night.
Yes. The quote form can include a photo upload saved to the request as an image, so you can see the panel label, the breakers and the space around it before you visit. Staff sign in to the request desk to view the photo, call the customer back and move the request from New to Visit booked or Quote sent.
Check your state’s rules first. California, for example, requires licensed contractors to include their license number in all forms of advertising, and other states set their own requirements. Showing the number and the issuing state in the site footer and on service pages also lets customers look you up with the licensing board before they call.
They can if your software provider offers a REST API. Netiva apps can call REST APIs with keys stored securely, so you can ask the agent to send each new quote request to that provider as a lead or job. Check the provider’s API documentation first. Without an API, the request desk and its saved views work as your intake list.
You can build and test the whole site on the free plan in the live preview, with no credit card. Putting it on your own domain needs the Starter plan or higher, and higher plans add capacity and features, such as advanced SEO tools from the Pro plan. Compare the current plans on Netiva’s pricing page before you publish.
