Free Website Audit for Remodeling Contractors in Richmond, VA
Homeowners planning a kitchen or bath remodel don't hire the first contractor they find - they open three or four tabs, compare portfolios, and fill out quote forms on whichever sites actually work. In August 2026 we ran Google Lighthouse audits on 22 remodeling contractor websites in the Richmond area: 95% had fixable performance problems getting in the way of that comparison.
What slow websites cost a remodeling contractor
Portfolio photos that never finish loading
Your before/after project photos are the whole sales pitch - and the most common issue we found was full camera-resolution images loading uncompressed, turning a portfolio scroll into a stall.
Quote-request forms that lose the job to a competitor
A homeowner comparing four contractors won't wait on a form that lags on their phone. If it takes too long or looks broken, they submit the next site's form instead - and you never know the lead existed.
Missing from "remodeling contractor near me" searches
Directory listings (Yelp, Angi, Houzz) often outrank contractors' own sites because the sites themselves are missing basic SEO signals - title tags, local schema, mobile-friendly markup - that Google rewards.
What the free audit covers
We run your website through Google Lighthouse - the same measurement tool Google uses for its ranking signals - and translate the results into plain English: what's slow, what's invisible to Google, what's broken on phones, and what each fix is worth. The report names exactly how many issues it found and shows a specific example of each, not vague grades. It lands in your inbox within the hour, free, no call required.
If the report shows problems worth fixing, it's a flat $149 for your fixable speed/image/SEO/broken-link issue, or $299 for everything found - with a before/after report proving the improvement. We track our own client work in public, so you can see real progress timelines before spending a dollar. Questions about access, timeline, or your platform? See the FAQ below.
Common questions
How do you actually access my website to make the fix?
Most fixes happen through your hosting or FTP/cPanel login - you share access, we make the fix, and you can change the password again afterward. If you'd rather not share hosting access, we can deliver the fixed files with plain-English install instructions instead. Either way, nothing changes until you approve it.
Will this work no matter what platform my website is built on?
It works with WordPress, custom HTML, and most self-hosted setups - which is what most Remodeling Contractors in Richmond, VA run on. Hosted all-in-one builders (Wix, Squarespace, Weebly, GoDaddy Website Builder, Duda) are outside what we can directly fix. Not sure if yours qualifies? Email hello@bitwisedesigns.com before submitting your URL and we'll confirm.
Do I need a contract or ongoing retainer?
No. The $149 and $299 options are one-time, flat-price payments with no retainer and no recurring commitment. If you want us to keep monitoring your site after the fix, that's what the optional Care plans (from $49/mo) are for - but nothing auto-enrolls you.
Is my payment secure?
Yes - payment is processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number.
