Web Design for Trades

The Problem

Relying on word-of-mouth with no professional online 'shop front' means customers who Google you find nothing, or worse, find a dated site that costs you the job before the phone even rings.

Common Questions

How long does it take to build a tradesperson website?

Most trade websites are live within 2–4 weeks from our first conversation. I handle the whole process (design, build, and setup) so you can stay focused on your work.

Do I need to write the content myself?

No. I'll write the copy for you based on a short briefing call. You just tell me about your services, your area, and what makes you different; I do the rest.

Can I request revisions and changes?

Absolutely. I include a revision round in every project, and we'll iterate on the design and copy until you're happy with how it represents your business.

Will my website show up on Google?

Yes, every website I build is set up with on-page SEO foundations: proper page titles, meta descriptions, fast load times, and Google Business Profile integration.

How much does a trade website cost?

Every build is different, and I'd rather tailor the work to your budget than hand you a rigid price list. Tell me what you've got in mind and what the site needs to do; I'll come back with an honest answer on what's realistic.

Will my website work properly on mobile phones?

Yes, every site I build is mobile-first. Over 60% of trade enquiries come from a phone, so the mobile experience is designed first and the desktop version follows.

What happens after the website launches?

You get a handover walkthrough showing exactly how everything works, plus 30 days of free support. After that you can manage it yourself or put me on a small monthly retainer.

Do I own the website and the domain?

Yes, fully. Domain, hosting account, source files, all in your name. No lock-in. You can move it elsewhere any time you like.

Investment

Every build is scoped to your goals and budget. Most trade websites land between £1.2k and £4k for a standalone build; partnership plans spread the cost monthly. Free quote, no commitment.
