Can you suggest a good website for a roofing contractor??

[MissThumann]

I have a roofing contractor friend that wants a new site. There's a lot of choices out there, so to save a little time I'm looking for good suggestions.

Ideally one with a good DA, and the ability to make manual edits on the back side.

Thanks in advance:)

Thank you for your help with this!

I've only ever built one site using WordPress though - and that was for me & it didn't need to rank.

It's a small company I'm doing this for, and their keywords aren't too difficult to rank for.  But none the less, I want to choose the best option for them.

Is there any coding involved in using these themes? I can code a little but not a lot.

Any more light you can shine on it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your help:) I'll explain myself further...

I'm looking for a company that designs websites for General Contractors. I found one http://www.roofwebs.com/ but I was wondering if anyone had any others they could suggest.

About the cms: I want the option to be able to make edits to the site myself.

You can try Moz's Keyword Explorer to dig into the sites that rank for "roofing contractor" or related keywords. I am not sure what you mean by "the ability to make manual edits."Are you trying to buy an existing site and repurpose it?

I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly. Examples of what a good roofing contractor website looks like in terms of design? Or of SEO? Are you looking for a roofing contractor specific CMS?

If you're looking for a good website in terms of SEO, just google for roofing contractors in your local area and do some competitor research. Find which local competitors are ranking the highest and explore as to why that could be, cross referencing with your existing knowledge (or notes) on local SEO ranking factors.

If you're looking for inspiration for design, the process is pretty similar except you can Google more broadly outside of your local area. See what sort of designs suit the type of business, and which ones stand out the most to you. If you have no experience with creating websites and want a cost-effective alternative than getting a web designer in, I would recommend Wordpress as a user-friendly CMS with plenty of free and premium themes to get you going.

Hope that helps.
