Electrician website design that sorts outages from upgrades
We build and run websites for electrical contractors and answer their phones 24/7 with an AI front desk. The site gets found for repair, panel and EV charger searches, and the front desk tells a sparking outlet from a quote request and books the right job.
What breaks on a typical electrical website?
These are the problems we check for first on electrical sites. Each one costs calls, and each one has a plain fix.
- 01
Emergencies and projects share one form
A sparking outlet and an EV charger quote land in the same inbox and wait the same amount of time.
- 02
No license number
Homeowners know electrical work needs a licensed electrician. A site with no license number makes them call someone else.
- 03
Panel upgrades with no next step
The page explains what a panel upgrade is, then stops. There is no way to request an estimate.
- 04
Utility outages ring your phone
Without one line asking callers to check the utility outage map, your phone fills up during every storm.
- 05
The phone number cannot be tapped
It sits in the header image. On a phone, the caller has to type it in.
- 06
Slow on cell data
Big project galleries load at full size and stall the page on a phone.
What we build for electrical companies
A site, a front desk and the local search work, set up for how electrical jobs come in.
- Repair and safety page
- Tap-to-call, what counts as an emergency, your after-hours fee and the safety lines you approve.
- Project pages
- Panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, lighting and rewiring, each with an estimate request.
- License and permits
- Your license number on every page, and a plain note that you pull permits where they are required.
- Service area and hours
- The cities you cover, your hours, and a note to check the utility outage map first.
- AI front desk
- Answers calls and chat 24/7. Asks your safety questions first, then books repairs or estimate visits.
- Monthly report
- Calls answered, leads and booked jobs, split into repairs and projects.
How does the front desk handle a electrical call?
It answers, asks the questions your dispatcher would ask, and books the job on your calendar. Here is a sample call. The customer and company are made up.
- 19:32SystemCall comes in after hours.
- 19:32Front deskThanks for calling Brightline Electric. What is going on?
- 19:33CallerHalf the house has no power. The breaker will not reset.
- 19:33Front deskAsks about a burning smell, heat, sparks or water near the panel. None.
- 19:34Front deskAsks if the neighbors have power. They do. Not a utility outage.
- 19:35Front deskTells the caller to leave that breaker off. Books tomorrow 8-10am.

How do you separate electrical emergencies from projects?
Ask the safety questions first, then sort. Anything with heat, smell, sparks or water goes to your emergency rules. Everything else gets booked as a repair or an estimate.
The site does the same sort before anyone calls. The repair page leads with tap-to-call and the safety lines. The project pages lead with an estimate request. A panel upgrade buyer and a caller with a dead circuit never land on the same form.
Why should an electrician site push estimate requests?
Project work is planned, so the buyer wants a next step they can take now, even late at night. A short form or a booked estimate visit gives them one.
Estimate forms ask four things: name, phone, address and the project. The front desk can book the estimate visit into the slots you set aside, and ask a few project questions, like the panel size if the owner knows it.
What should the site say about outages?
One line near the top: if the whole street is dark, check the utility’s outage map first. Then link to it.
It saves your phone line during storms and makes you look like the shop that tells the truth. The front desk asks the same question before booking a no-power call.

Electrical website questions
How much does an electrician website cost?
With Lanternmend, $199 to $799 a month depending on the plan. Hosting, updates and edits are included, and there is no contract.
What should an electrician website show?
Your license number, the area you serve, a number to tap, and a clear split between repairs and project work like panel upgrades and EV chargers.
Can the front desk tell an emergency from a project?
It asks the questions you set, like burning smell, heat, sparks or water near the panel. Those answers follow your emergency rules. Panel upgrades and chargers get booked as estimate visits.
Does the front desk give electrical safety advice?
Only the lines you approve, such as calling 911 for a burning smell or sparks. It never walks anyone through electrical work.
Should EV charger installs have their own page?
Yes. People search for that job by name. A page that covers panel capacity, permits and the estimate process answers what they ask first.
Do I own the site if I cancel?
Yes. The domain, code, content and accounts are in your name. We hand them over and help you move.
