10 design ideas from real cleaning websites
Not sure what your website should look like or what features it should include? We’ve included examples of the top features from real cleaning company websites to give you ideas.
1. Clean, user-friendly design
Amazing Space has a simple, one-page website with bright colors and photos. It’s fun to look at and easy to use, but it still includes important information like who they are and what they do.

Pro Tip: Make sure your website is responsive, meaning it automatically resizes to fit any screen size (like a phone or tablet). Lots of website builders have responsive templates you can use, like WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix.

2. Eye-catching visuals
Luxe Cleaning Co. uses custom photos to show off their team and their work. The main header on the home page even includes a custom looping video of their cleaners on the job.

Pro Tip: Use our before-and-after image maker to create images for your website that show off your work. Your clients will be impressed when they see what a good job you can do.
3. Consistent branding
The Domestic Divas website has soft colors, modern photos, and a clean feel. This design matches their logo and their luxury branding.

Pro Tip: Share your value proposition (what makes you different from competitors) with potential clients. Domestic Divas’ strengths are listed right on their home page where they’re easy to find, and they tie in with the company’s focus on luxury service.
4. Simple navigation
Bluebonnet Cleaning has a simple navigation menu with just the right amount of detail. This makes it easy for site visitors to find the information they’re looking for, like services or contact details.

Pro Tip: Try to avoid drop-down menus, especially ones where you need to hover over them. They don’t always provide the best user experience, and they often don’t work well on mobile devices.
5. Social media links
On the Diamond Shine Cleaners website, icons in their main navigation link to their social media pages. That way, clients can easily find them on any platform and see all the content and reviews they have to offer.

Pro Tip: Get a website widget that updates your site with your social media content. This shows off your work and makes you look like an active business with lots of clients.

7. Online payment options
If your clients are leaving cash or checks for payment, there’s an easier way—and Jersey Green Cleaning knows it. They offer online payment so clients can pay for their services by credit card.

Pro Tip: Use Jobber’s client hub to let your clients pay invoices online, 24/7. They can also request more work, confirm appointments, and approve estimates. It’s like having a back office that never sleeps.

9. Instant messaging and chatbots
Boardwalk Cleaning Co. offers instant messaging through a pop-up on their website. Visitors can ask questions and book services without having to pick up the phone.

Green Clean Plus includes their CTA buttons (“Request a Quote Now!”) all over the website. It’s clear they want visitors to request a free estimate, and they make it easy to do.

Commercial Cleaning Canberra uses a price calculator to provide custom cleaning service pricing. Adjusting the square footage and visit frequency helps clients understand whether they can afford the service.

How to build a cleaning website in 8 steps
You’re ready to start building a website. But how do you do it? Let’s go through the process and answer your questions about building office and house cleaning websites.
1. Buy and register a domain name
Your domain name is the URL where your website lives. If you’re using a site builder, you may be able to register a domain during setup. If not, you can use a registrar like GoDaddy.
(Remember, you’ll need to renew your registration every year!)
2. Pick a site platform
Decide where you’re building your site. A website builder like WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix makes it easy to build your site from scratch—without having to learn how to code.
If you do know how to code or are working with a web developer, you can build something custom that meets your needs exactly. WordPress has options for this method, too.
Hiring a professional to build your cleaning website
If you have a large budget, think about hiring a freelance web developer or even a web agency. Head over to LinkedIn to find a freelancer, or google “web agencies near me.”
A professional will help walk you through the process of building your website. You’ll need to share feedback and possibly write your own content, but they’ll do all the heavy lifting for you.
3. Choose a design
Website builders usually offer template designs that you can customize to match your branding. Choose a theme that fits the tone of your business and is easy for visitors to use.
If you’re working with a professional, you’ll plan your site design together and the developer will build it for you.
4. Add content and images
Write content for your website that tells visitors who you are, what you offer, and how to contact you. Website builders make it easy to add this content to the site (or your developer can do it for you).
You should also add photos that show you and your team in action. You can hire a local photographer or take pictures yourself with your smartphone.
What should I put on my cleaning business website?
The best cleaning websites include:
- A home page with an eye-catching photo and an overview of the business, including service area
- A Services page describing all cleaning options
- An About page with the story behind the business
- A Team page and a Careers page, if there’s more than one cleaner
- A Contact page with contact details and a booking form
- A clear call to action so visitors know what to do next
- Positive client reviews and testimonials
- An FAQ page answering some of the most common client questions
- A blog with useful, regularly posted cleaning content
5. Optimize for search engines
Search engine optimization (SEO) helps your site show up when people search for cleaning services online.
In your website’s content, include terms that people would use to search for your services (like “cleaning company near me”) and include your location and contact details.
6. Set up Google Analytics and Search Console
Google Analytics is a free tool that shows you how many people visit your site and how they got there. To get started, create an account and add the tracking code to your website as instructed.
Search Console (also free!) shows you how your website is performing on Google. It’s a great way to monitor your search engine rankings and spot any problems with your SEO.
7. Launch the site and link to it
Your site is ready! Hit publish and start telling people about it. Send an email to clients, print new business cards, and update any local business listings and social media profiles with your URL.
8. Update regularly
Update your website every few months with new photos and testimonials. If you’re short on time, install plugins that automatically post new social media content and customer reviews.
How much does it cost to build a cleaning website?
When you’re building a cleaning website, you can expect to spend anywhere from $60/year to $5,000+, depending on how you do it.
- Domain prices range widely. They can start around $2 USD and typically stay under $100, but you could be looking at thousands of dollars for a premium domain. Keep this in mind when you’re considering cleaning company names.
- Basic website builder plans usually start at about $60 USD per year, not including the domain. This cost will rise if you choose a higher-tier plan or pay month-to-month.
- If you’re working with a developer, you can expect to pay $500–5,000 USD for your website, depending on their hourly rate and how complex your website will be. This price doesn’t include domain registration and any site hosting costs.
- Partnering with a web agency is the most premium option. A quote for your website will likely start around $5,000 USD. However, agencies can often handle all your site logistics and updates, which gives you more time to focus on your business.
