James was one of our first customers, he never thought he needed a website. He was a contractor, not a tech guy. His days were spent measuring twice, cutting once, and making sure his crew had what they needed to get the job done. Word-of-mouth had always been enough. But then, it wasn’t.
The Problem with ‘Old School’
For years, James had relied on referrals. He built decks, remodeled kitchens, and fixed everything in between. His customers raved about him, but the phone started ringing less. A neighbor would mention that they went with someone else and repeat customers stop repeating.
James had twenty years of experience, a reputation built on trust, and a portfolio of beautiful work—none of which was online.
The First Attempt (And the Headache That Followed)
Frustrated, James tried Wix website builder. It looked easy enough, but soon he was knee-deep in templates, fonts, and tech jargon. He spent hours tweaking colors and resizing photos, only to end up with something that looked… off and he wasn't quite sure why or how to fix it and there was no one there to help him figure it out.
He put it off. Days turned into weeks, and the website sat unfinished. He was too busy running his business to mess with something that felt so foreign.
Referral by a friend
Then, a fellow contractor told him about Siimple. “I didn't have any problems using it” the guy said. “You basically just fill in your stuff.”
James was skeptical. But because it was all free to try he decided to spend a few minutes playing around with it. Within minutes of signing up, he realized something: this wasn’t like the other website builders. Siimple stripped away the unnecessary fluff, no endless customization rabbit hole.
In one afternoon, he had a website. It showed his best projects, had a contact form that actually worked, and even let customers request quotes online. No coding, no confusion—just a straightforward, good-looking website that let his work speak for itself.
The Features That Made the Difference
One-Click Design Changes
With other platforms, even small tweaks had felt like a maze of settings and endless options. With Siimple, James could swap templates with a single click, adjusting the look of his site in seconds. No stress, no fuss—just instant results.
Affordable—By Far
Money had always been a concern. Other website platforms came with hidden costs—extra fees for features he didn’t need, expensive add-ons, and complicated pricing tiers. Siimple was different. It was affordable from day one, with no surprise charges. That meant more money stayed in his business, where it belonged.
Real-Person Customer Support
When James did have a question, he didn’t get stuck with an AI chatbot or endless email chains. He got a real person. Someone who understood his business, spoke in plain English, and helped him get exactly what he needed without wasting time. It was customer support the way it should be—helpful, human, and hassle-free.
Siimple Didn’t Make Him Feel Stupid
James had spent years mastering his craft, and the last thing he wanted was to feel dumb trying to build a website. Siimple made sure he never did.
Easy to Get Started
Signing up took minutes. No long forms, no confusing settings—just a simple process that got him from zero to a working website without frustration.
Buying a Domain Name Was a Breeze
James had always thought getting a domain would be a hassle, but Siimple made it seamless. A few clicks, and he had a professional web address that made his business feel official.
Setup Was Straightforward
Adding sections to his website—About, Services, Contact—was as easy as filling out a form and he didn't even have to come up with what to write, because he just asked AI to do it for him. No need to mess with code or drag things around endlessly. It just worked.
The Difference a Website Makes
Within a month, James noticed a change. Calls were coming in from people outside his usual word-of-mouth circle. They had found him online, seen his work, and reached out. No more, “Do you have a website?” followed by an awkward, “Uh, not really.”
His business felt more legitimate. More professional. More like the company he had spent years building, finally showing up the way it deserved to.
A Simple Step with a Big Impact
Looking back, James said “I thought I didn’t need it,” he says, “but not having a website was costing me jobs.”
Now, he tells every contractor he knows: “You don’t need a fancy website. You just need a Siimple one that works.”
Siimple made it happen for him. And it can for you, too.
