The real difference

Squarespace is designed for people who want to be their own web designer. If you're a contractor, plumber, or landscaper, that's not why you started your business. We handle the design and maintenance so you can focus on the work that actually pays.

What you get

Everything included at $100/month.

No templates to wrestle with. No plugins to configure. Done for you.

Custom design

Built for your trade and business — not a portfolio template repurposed for a plumber.

Professional copy

We write your headline, services section, and about blurb so it sounds credible and clear.

Local SEO

On-page optimization and schema markup baked in — not an afterthought you configure yourself.

Mobile-first build

Designed for phones from the ground up, where 70%+ of your customers are searching.

Fast hosting & SSL

Global CDN, HTTPS, and automatic backups — faster and more reliable than shared hosting.

Ongoing updates

New service? New number? Changed pricing? Just email us — no login required.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is Squarespace really that hard to use?+

Squarespace is well-designed and genuinely easier than many alternatives. But 'easier' doesn't mean 'done.' You still have to choose templates, write all your own copy, upload photos, set up contact forms, and configure SEO settings. That takes time most service business owners don't have.

Why would I pay $100/month when Squarespace is cheaper?+

Squarespace charges you to use their builder — you still do all the work. Lobus Industries charges you for a done-for-you service: we design it, write it, host it, and update it. Most clients get a better result in less total time for less combined cost.

Will my site look as good as a Squarespace site?+

Yes — and it will be customized to your specific business rather than a template designed for photographers or restaurants. Our sites are clean, fast, and professional.

What if I already have a Squarespace site?+

We'll build you a better one. Once it's live and you're happy, you cancel Squarespace. Your domain transfers to point to your new site.

Can I cancel if I'm not happy?+

Yes — no contracts, no cancellation fees. If it's not working for you, cancel any time. Your domain is always yours.

What trades do you build for?+

Service businesses — plumbers, electricians, landscapers, cleaners, HVAC companies, contractors, painters, roofers, handymen, auto detailers, personal trainers, and more.
