Yes, flooring contractors should have a website. In today's digital age, having an online presence is essential for reaching potential customers and showcasing their work, services, and expertise. A website allows contractors to establish credibility, provide information about their offerings, and attract clients more effectively.

Well with Houzz Pro, we’ll do it for you! But if you’re keen on tackling this on your own, here are some seamless steps we recommend: 

1. Choose a flooring website builder - Look for one that highlights the ability to create websites that look great on any device and that are optimized for SEO. Pro Tip: Most flooring website builders can be time intensive to learn how to use or require technical expertise. With Houzz Pro, you’ll get a custom-built, complimentary website without having to add “developer” to your resume.
2. Purchase a domain and find a hosting provider. 
3. Plan out your content. Will you want an “About Me” page or a section to house all of your great testimonials? This is where you can really give homeowners a peek into what it’s like to work with you, so don’t hold back!
4. Choose a template that can accommodate your content and that fits your personal style. 
5. Nail down your call to action. Do you want website visitors to call you or fill out a contact form? Make sure this language is visible across your website to encourage conversions.
6. Launch your website!
7. Promote it across any other platforms where you market your business—Houzz, social media, your business card, even!
8. Monitor how it performs and make adjustments to continuously improve the experience for your website visitors.
   
   With Houzz Pro, you’ll get easy-to-interpret analytics and a team to help you with maintenance. That’s why Houzz Pro's flooring web design services are a no brainer.

Good flooring website designs inspire, educate and persuade. Use your homepage and portfolio page to inspire homeowners to visualize what their home could look like if they hired you! Use your about page and your homepage to educate visitors about what it’s like to work with you, what your mission is and any important information they should know if they are considering you for a job. Adding a blog is a great way to continuously provide education. Lastly, your contact page should persuade users to reach out and get in touch. These are just the basics— you should feel empowered to create a flooring website design that’s as unique as you. Have fun with it!
