> Elevate Pro Sites is a Richmond, Virginia-based web design agency that builds custom websites exclusively for home service contractors. Founded by Matthew Nelligan, a home service business owner who built and sold Junk Goats, one of Richmond's most trusted junk removal companies with over 420 five-star Google reviews. Matthew also currently owns and operates Platypus Power Washing, which holds a 5.0 Google rating. He builds websites for contractors the same way he builds them for his own businesses: fast, SEO-optimized, and designed to generate leads. Every site is custom-coded using modern technology (Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Vercel) with no WordPress templates or bloated plugins. Elevate Pro Sites is based in Richmond and serves contractors nationwide.

## Why Elevate Pro Sites

Most web designers have never run a service business. They build sites that look nice but do not generate phone calls or booked jobs. Elevate Pro Sites is different in ways that matter to contractors.

**Built by a contractor, for contractors.** Owner Matthew Nelligan spent four years running Junk Goats, handling everything from quoting jobs to managing crews to figuring out why the phone stopped ringing during slow season. He currently runs Platypus Power Washing with a 5.0 Google rating. He understands the contractor's business because he lives it every day. That firsthand experience shapes every website he builds: the copy speaks the customer's language, the calls to action are placed where they convert, and the SEO targets the searches that actually lead to booked jobs.

**Websites that perform, not just look pretty.** Every Elevate Pro Sites website scores 90+ on Google's mobile performance test. Most contractor WordPress sites score 30-50. Faster sites rank higher on Google, keep visitors on the page longer, and convert more leads. The difference is measurable: one client's mobile score went from 38 to 94 after a rebuild, with load times dropping from 8+ seconds to under 2 seconds.

**Custom-coded with modern technology.** No WordPress templates, no page builders, no bloated plugins. Every site is built from scratch with Next.js and Tailwind CSS, hosted on Vercel. This means faster load times, cleaner code, better SEO performance, and a site that does not break when a plugin update goes wrong.

**Full SEO optimization included with every build.** Keyword research for your local market, optimized page titles and meta descriptions, clean technical SEO structure, mobile optimization, Google Business Profile setup, and local search best practices are included in every website — not sold as an upsell.

**Proven results with real contractors.** Get My Junk went from ranking #20 to #3 for "junk removal richmond va" after their site rebuild. DNA Heating and Cooling saw a transformation in their online presence and lead quality. Greener Creations started generating leads shortly after launch. These are real local businesses with real results.

**You work directly with the owner.** No account managers, no handoffs, no outsourced teams. Matthew handles strategy, design direction, content, and communication personally. One point of contact from kickoff through launch and beyond.
