Done by AI · not an agency
Painting company website design by AI, ready for estimates today.

Sample designs
Looks like a $5,000 agency website. Judge for yourself.
Six Zarla designs, shown for made-up painting companies, from whole-house repaints to commercial bids. Start from one and the AI rewrites it around yours, or let your brief decide.
Exterior
Fairweather Painting Co.
A freshly painted house at dusk and the numbers along the bottom, for the company that wins on curb appeal.
Cabinets
Winslow Cabinet Refinishing
"A New Kitchen Without the Remodel" on a deep burgundy field, with a quote form that asks what you're refinishing.
Commercial
Halstead Commercial Painting
Written for offices, retail and medical buildings: after-hours crews and a bid request that asks the property type.
Color consultation
Colorhaus Studio
A fan deck in hand and a bold headline, for the studio that sells the color decision as well as the paint.
Historic homes
Landmark Heritage Painters
A dark, quiet page and EPA lead-safe in the top strip, for restoration work on old houses.
The checklist
What every painting company website needs
Six things a painting company website needs to win the estimate, each shown on one of Zarla's designs.
- 01
A quote form that asks the right questions
What needs painting and how big the house is turn a vague request into an estimate you can price, and tell you whether to visit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
- 02
A warranty, said up front
Customers worry the paint will peel in a year. A workmanship warranty in the top strip answers that before they ask.
- 03
Proof in numbers
Years in business, homes painted, your Google rating, how long the warranty lasts. Four numbers read faster than a paragraph about quality.
- 04
Lead-safe, if you paint older homes
In the US, paid work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 generally needs an EPA lead-safe certified firm (check the EPA's rule for your jobs). If you're certified, say so where customers look.
- 05
A separate door for property managers
Rental turnovers are steady work. Property managers want to give a property and a unit count, not describe a room.
- 06
Say how you protect the home
Customers picture drips on the floor and a week of mess. "Low-mess, protected work" up top answers the worry behind the price.
Process and turnaround
How it works, and how long each step takes
For comparison, from the pages of web designers who build painting company sites: 5 days at one web agency, 2–3 weeks at a painting web design service, and 5–6 weeks at a contractor web design subscription.

The honest part
What an agency does that Zarla doesn't
Zarla does the design part of an agency's job with AI. Here's what you'd still be paying people for.
- A strategy call about your market and your competitors
- Original photos of your team, vans and jobs. Zarla uses your photos or stock.
- Copy written from interviewing you. Zarla writes from your brief, and you edit it.
- Monthly SEO campaigns, link building and ranking reports
- Running your Google Ads and Local Services Ads
- One named person accountable, on the phone
- Custom features beyond Zarla's sections

Browse Zarla partners →Questions painting businesses ask
Is Zarla a web design agency?
No. Zarla is AI. It does the design part of an agency's job, the layout, words, pages and forms, from a one-sentence brief. There's no designer on the other end. If you want a person for marketing or SEO, Zarla partners are independent agencies and freelancers who work on Zarla sites.
How much does painting company website design cost?
Web designers who publish prices for painting company sites charge $0 to $3,500 up front with $49 to $495 a month, some on 24-month plans, or $2,500 to $5,000 and up for a one-time build. Designing and previewing on Zarla is free; you choose a Premium or Business plan when you publish.
What should a painting company website have?
Your number and a quote form in the first screen, photos of your own finished rooms and houses, your warranty, a page for each service (interior, exterior, cabinets, commercial), a page for each town you cover, and your reviews. Zarla adds service and area pages from your brief, up to your plan's page limit. Customers can attach up to five photos of the job to the form, so you can often price it from the photos instead of a site visit. The form doesn't work out a price for you — you read the request and quote it yourself.
How long does a painting company website take?
Web designers who publish timelines quote from 5 days to 5–6 weeks for a painting company site. Zarla's first design takes about 30 seconds; after your changes, you can publish the same day on a paid plan.
Can I show before-and-after photos of a paint job?
Yes. Switch a photo gallery to its before-and-after layout and your own photos of finished rooms and houses show in one frame with a handle visitors drag. The same wall in the same light, before and after, sells the color better than any description.
Does Zarla do marketing for painting contractors?
Zarla does the groundwork Google reads: titles, descriptions, business markup, a sitemap and fast pages on phones. It doesn't run ads or monthly SEO; that's agency work. Our guide to painting contractor marketing covers the rest.
I already have a painting website. Can I move it?
Yes. Zarla keeps your old page addresses where it can and redirects the ones that change, helping you keep the Google standing you've built.
Before you spend $5,000 on a website and SEO agency, give Zarla 30 seconds.
Finish the sentence with your town. Zarla's AI designs your site from it.
