The City says an owner-occupant of a single-family home may apply for permits for their own work. Contractor-performed work follows a separate path, and contractors must be licensed by the City and State of Iowa. A business website can ask about project type and applicant role, then link visitors to current City instructions.
What we recommend for your business
Use project type and applicant role to route visitors. For permit questions, link to the City's current instructions and distinguish its owner-occupied single-family homeowner path from contractor licensing requirements.

The design has to look right, load quickly and help a customer make a decision. We build the structure, content and contact paths as one connected experience.
Create a visual direction around your actual business, customers and goals. Use clear hierarchy, proof and calls to action to move visitors toward a conversation.
Design every important page and contact action for phones, tablets and desktops. Keep the text readable, navigation reachable and forms comfortable to use.
Build an editable site your business can own and grow. Use reusable page patterns without making every service look or sound the same.
Plan service pages, location coverage, navigation, internal links, metadata and redirects before launch so search visibility is part of the foundation.
Explain what you do, who you help and where you work in language customers understand. Give every page a useful role in the customer journey.
Connect the website to practical measurement so you can see how people arrive, which pages they use and which visits become calls or form inquiries.
The work, the fit and the tradeoffs
We plan the service structure, clear explanations, genuine proof and next steps around how customers choose your business. A residential repair visitor may need a fast call; a commercial buyer may need scope details before requesting a quote.
Readable text, clear navigation, sensible page weight and easy contact paths matter on small screens. Accessibility fundamentals include labels, keyboard access, contrast and descriptive alternatives for meaningful images; these require checks, not a blanket compliance promise.
Forms and booking links should ask for useful information and make the next step clear. Tracking must distinguish a visit, a form interaction and a confirmed inquiry. Your team’s feedback connects website activity to booked work.
A redesign starts with the existing pages, useful content and URL inventory. When URLs must change, plan direct redirects and preserve important links and measurement. You own the website and work we create for you; scope and third-party requirements are discussed before the build.
We assess the current platform, structure, mobile experience and conversion path first. Targeted improvements may solve the problem without replacing the whole site.
The page scope, content readiness, integrations and review process affect the work. We agree those details before quoting; there is no invented package price or universal launch timetable.

Good questions. Straight answers.
Something else on your mind?
That’s what the conversation is for.

The City says single-family homeowners who also occupy the home may apply for permits for their own work. If a contractor does the work, the City recommends the contractor obtain the permit and requires City and Iowa licensing. Link to the City's current instructions for the specific project.
Link to the City’s current permit application and fee instructions, and identify the project and applicant-role details the City asks about. Keep the owner-occupant path limited to single-family homeowners applying for their own work.
