Websites for trade shops in Gulfport and the Coast
On the Coast, the busiest week of the year can come with a few days' notice when a storm turns toward the Gulf. We build websites for Gulfport and Coast trade shops that keep the calls coming in when it counts. We're based in the Houston area and work with you by phone, email and video.

What Coast shops get called for
- Hurricane season. It runs June 1 to November 30. Before a storm, people call for generators, shutters and tree trimming. After one, roofers, tree crews, electricians and fence builders get more calls than they can answer.
- Salt air. Salt wears out A/C coils, metal fences, gates and outdoor fixtures faster here than inland, so replacement work comes around sooner.
- Wind-rated roofs. Many Coast homeowners ask about FORTIFIED roofs, a standard from the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety, because of insurance costs.
- Military and visitors. Keesler Air Force Base and the Seabee base in Gulfport bring moves in and out, and vacation rentals need quick turnovers.
What your Coast site should show
Say what you do before and after a storm, how people reach you when it's busy, and which towns you cover. Show your own job photos and your license number. After a storm, homeowners look hard for local shops and avoid crews they've never heard of.
Licenses your site can show
The Mississippi State Board of Contractors (msboc.us) requires a residential license for remodeling or roofing jobs over $10,000 and for new homes over $50,000, and licenses residential electrical, plumbing and mechanical work at any amount.
Towns your site can list
List only where you really work. Coast shops often cover Biloxi, D'Iberville, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Diamondhead, Ocean Springs, Saucier and Lyman. Each town you serve can get its own page about the work you do there.
Getting around the Coast
US-90 runs along the water and I-10 runs behind it, with I-110 tying Biloxi to D'Iberville. A shop in Pass Christian and a shop in Ocean Springs can be an hour apart in summer traffic. Your site can say which stretch of the Coast you cover and whether you head north toward Saucier. After a storm, when roads close and everyone is calling, a clear service area helps the right people find you.
How we work with Coast shops
Everything is remote. We talk by phone or video, you approve a working preview before launch, and you pay by card through Stripe. Orbit, our AI phone answering, can take calls during a storm rush when every line is busy.
