Website Design for Window & Door Companies
Windows and doors are the one exterior trade where a photograph does not do the selling. Siding, stucco and railings are chosen by eye — a homeowner looks at twenty pictures and decides. In a photograph, one triple-glazed casement is indistinguishable from another, and so is the installation behind it. The three things that decide whether it was a good window — the sealed unit, the frame material and how the opening was closed up — are all hidden the moment the trim goes back on. So the site has to say them, and the gallery goes back to doing what it is genuinely good at: proving the crew is real and the edges are clean. There is no window and door company in my portfolio yet, and I would rather write that than imply otherwise. The nearest work is two exterior contractors and a glass railing installer, all hand-coded from an empty folder.
Short answer
Lead Web Studio designs and hand-codes websites for window and door installers across Ontario — mobile-first, structured for local search, no template and no page builder. Each site carries a page per product line, one plain explanation of retrofit against full-frame installation, energy figures rather than adjectives, a gallery that includes open rough openings, and an enquiry form that asks how many openings are involved. A build is $899–$2,999 one-time and goes live in 5–7 days once content is ready.
What the Camera Reaches, and What It Doesn't
Everything visible in a finished-window photograph is the part that varies least between one company and the next. Everything that decides the outcome is behind glass or behind trim. A window site is built around closing that gap.
What a photograph can prove
Real, useful, and not enough on its own. This is what a gallery is genuinely good at, so it stays.
- The crew exists and the work is recent
- Trim, capping and caulking lines are clean
- Frame colours and grid patterns you actually stock
- Entry doors and patio doors in real houses, not renders
What has to be written instead
The three variables a buyer is really choosing between, none of which survives to the finished photograph.
- The sealed unit: panes, gas fill, low-E, spacer, and the rating
- The frame material and the trade-off that comes with it
- Retrofit or full-frame, and what changes either way
- How the opening was shimmed, insulated, air sealed and flashed
The Work This Is Built On
AG Exteriors Matter is a siding and exteriors contractor working out of Wasaga Beach, near Barrie. Their site is built around the gallery rather than around the copy — large images, honest lighting, before-and-afters from real streets rather than manufacturer stock — because siding is a finish a homeowner picks with their eyes. Build Master Stucco in Toronto applies the same discipline to renovation work and taught me the other half of the exterior problem: exterior work covers wildly different jobs, and quoting all of them the same way wastes everyone's time, so the site separates them and the enquiry arrives already qualified.
Pro Glass Plus is the closest project to glass itself, though a railing is not a sealed unit and I will not pretend the two are the same trade. All three were designed and hand-coded from an empty folder, and all three are live: agexteriorsmatter.com, buildmasterstucco.com and proglassplus.ca.

A Page for Every Product Line People Search by Name
These are not headings on a products page. Each is a separate search with a separate job behind it, and each deserves a URL of its own so it can be the result rather than part of one.

Window & Door Website FAQ
What pages does a window and door company's website need?+
A page for each product line people search by name — casement and awning windows, sliders, bay and bow, basement and egress windows, entry doors and patio doors — plus one page explaining retrofit against full-frame installation, a gallery that includes open rough openings and not only finished trim, a service area written as town names, and a contact form that asks how many openings are involved. Ten pages covers it comfortably.
Why can't a window company just copy a siding company's website?+
Because a siding gallery does the selling and a window gallery cannot. Siding is chosen by eye, so photographs are the argument. With windows, the three things that decide the outcome — the sealed unit, the frame material and the installation — are all invisible once the job is finished. The gallery still proves the crew is real and the edges are clean, but the copy has to carry the argument.
Should the site explain retrofit versus full-frame installation?+
Yes, because a homeowner collecting quotes is usually comparing one of each without knowing it. A retrofit fits the new unit inside the existing frame, which stays in the wall; a full-frame installation takes everything back to the rough opening so it can be inspected, insulated and flashed. They are different jobs at different prices, and the company that explains the difference tends to be the one trusted to price it.
What should a window company photograph for its website?+
The open rough opening, before the new unit goes in. Finished-window photographs all look alike, so a gallery made only of them proves nothing about how the work was done. One picture of an empty opening that has been shimmed, insulated and flashed is the strongest single image a window company can publish, and the easiest to miss, because the crew is busy at exactly that moment.
Which energy figures belong on a window page?+
U-factor and the Energy Rating, for the products you actually install. U-factor measures heat passing through the whole assembly, so lower is better; the Energy Rating balances heat loss against solar gain and air leakage, so higher is better. Certification for windows in Canada runs through ENERGY STAR Canada at Natural Resources Canada, and installation has its own standard in CSA A440.4.
Have you built a website for a window and door company?+
Not yet, and this page says so rather than implying otherwise. The nearest work is AG Exteriors Matter, a siding and exteriors contractor working out of Wasaga Beach near Barrie; Build Master Stucco, an exterior renovation company in Toronto; and Pro Glass Plus, a glass railing installer. All three were designed and hand-coded from an empty folder and all three are live and can be checked. Railings are not sealed units and I will not pretend they are.
What does a window and door website cost?+
$899 one-time for up to 10 pages, $1,499 for a fuller site with a page per product line and separate pages for the towns you cover, and $2,999 where a measure booking flow or a quote builder is involved. One payment, fixed in writing before I start, and about 5 to 7 days once the content is ready. Local SEO and Google Business Profile work are priced separately, starting at $149.

Is your best work invisible in every photo on your site?
I'll put the sealed unit, the frame and the installation into words, give each product line its own page, and make the form ask how many openings. Packages from $899.
