Metal and glass website design.

Metal and glass sites built for two different calls: the spec a general contractor sends out to bid, and the storefront that cannot wait until Monday.

Booking

How they book.

Most of this work is bought by spec, through builders who already have subs they trust: schedule reliability and insurance decide who gets added to that list, as much as price does. A smaller, faster share of the work is a break that cannot wait for a bid.

  1. 01

    The spec

    Storefronts, railings, stairs, curtain wall, custom fabrication. Buyers arrive with drawings and a classification list: what you are licensed and equipped to build.

  2. 02

    The capability check

    Property managers, architects and general contractors all check materials, finishes, shop size and what you install yourselves before they ever call.

  3. 03

    The bid request

    Getting onto a general contractor's bid list takes references and proof you can hold schedule and carry insurance, as much as it takes price. Give them a way to send plans and ask.

On the site

Must haves.

Six things a metal and glass website has to get right.

  • Capabilities

    What you fabricate and install, the materials and finishes, and your limits, on one page. A buyer checking you against a classification list wants this before a call, not after.

  • Project sheets

    Each job with photos, the building type and what you made for it. It is what a GC or property manager checks before adding you to a bid list.

  • Bid upload

    A form that takes drawings and specs as files, built for the bid request this trade actually runs on.

  • Builders first

    Write for general contractors, architects and property managers too, not just owners, if that is most of your work. New construction flows through GCs who already have subs they trust.

  • City rules

    License number

    Your license number in the footer of every page, where people check it. California requires the number in its ads.

  • The shop

    Photos of your shop and equipment. It shows the size of job you can actually take on, before anyone has to ask.

Emergency path

Three taps.

A storefront break does not wait for a bid list. Say plainly how fast the board-up comes and when the glass gets reset.

  1. 1

    The break

    A break-in, a vehicle strike, vandalism, a storm. The glass is out and the opening is exposed before anyone has bid out a repair.

  2. 2

    The board-up

    A board-up closes the opening against weather and a second break-in while the custom glass gets cut. Say if you keep pre-measured stock on hand to move faster.

  3. 3

    The reglaze

    Architectural glass is cut to the existing frame, so a crew measures exactly, then removes and resets it with the right sealant. Say when that call gets answered, not just that it does.

Proof to show

What to show.

What a metal and glass site should publish, so people can check it before they call.

  • License and insurance

    Your license where the state or city requires one, and proof of insurance, visible on the page, not just promised on a call. A general contractor weighing a bid list checks insurance and schedule reliability as closely as price.

  • Third-party certified

    NACC (North American Contractor Certification) is a third-party credential built for this trade alone: business practices, safety, glazing process, contract administration and quality, checked and renewed every four years. Put it on the page if you hold it.

  • Real jobs

    Finished storefronts, railings and curtain wall, each with the building type and what you made for it, plus any AAMA (now FGIA) or National Glass Association training your installers carry. It is proof a buyer can check before they call.

Does my license number have to be on my website?+

In some places it does. For metal and glass work, California puts the license number in every ad, and the safe reading is that your website is one. Each rule is linked to its source, on this page or its city page. Checked 2026-10-05. Not legal advice.

Do I need a site if my work comes from bids?+

Yes. Before you land on a bid list, a GC or property manager looks you up. Make sure they find your capabilities, real finished work and your insurance, not a page from years ago.

What does a website cost?+

A website project starts at $5,000, one time. The monthly plan is $2,500 a month with the build included, plus GEO, upkeep and email marketing, with a 3-month minimum. Either way, you see a free demo of your new site in 48 hours first, and pay nothing until it is delivered.

What a $10,000 website should include

Will a new site get me more calls?+

It is built to help. Clear pages for the jobs you want, your license and the towns you cover can help more of the people who find you pick up the phone. Nobody can promise a number of calls, and we will not.
