How much does a trades website cost?

Most tradespeople choose either the Starter package at £800 (single-page site, perfect for solo trades) or the Enquiry package at £1,600 (up to 5 pages for multi-service businesses). You'll get a fixed quote upfront.

I'm not very techy — will I be able to update it?

Yes. Small updates (text, photos, prices, new reviews) are easy. Most clients add a care plan so I handle these for them every month, but you'll never be locked out of your own site.

Can you pull in my Checkatrade or Google reviews?

Yes — I can embed live Google reviews on the homepage, and link to your Checkatrade or Trustpilot profile. Real reviews are the single biggest trust factor for trades websites.

Will it help me show up on Google when people search locally?

Every site is set up properly for local search — page titles, descriptions, schema and a sitemap. For stronger local ranking (Google Business Profile setup, local keywords, map visibility), Local SEO Setup is a £200 add-on.

I work all hours — how do I get hold of you?

By phone, WhatsApp or email — I reply quickly and don't disappear after launch. You'll always deal with me directly, never an account manager or a chatbot.

Most trades websites look like an afterthought

You're great at the work — but the website that's supposed to bring you that work is often built by a friend's cousin years ago, hasn't been touched since, and looks worse than your competitors' on every phone. When 80% of local customers check you on mobile before calling, that gap is costing you real jobs every month.

A website that does its share of the heavy lifting

A proper trades website should make the phone ring. That means a clear headline, services laid out in plain English, real photos of your work, genuine reviews, sticky call buttons and a form that actually works.

Big tap-friendly call buttons on every page
Photo gallery of your real work
Reviews from Google or Checkatrade pulled in
Areas covered with a simple map
Insurance, DBS or trade body badges shown clearly

Trades Websites Are Judged on a Phone, at the Worst Moment

Most trades enquiries do not arrive from someone calmly researching on a laptop. They come from a homeowner standing next to a leak, a landlord who just realised an EICR is due on Monday, or someone who has spotted a slipped tile after a storm. Your site is being scanned on a phone, with the front door open and one hand full. That is why every trades site I build treats mobile as the real design — sticky click-to-call, obvious accreditation badges near the top, one-line answers to 'what do you do?' and 'do you cover me?', and a form short enough to complete standing up.

The Trust Signals That Actually Get Trades Chosen

The tradespeople who win the most work from their websites do not have the fanciest designs — they have the strongest, most visible proof. That means a live-count of Google reviews near the top, a real photo of the person or van (not a stock photo), the accreditation logos that matter for your trade (Gas Safe, NICEIC, NFRC, TrustMark, Checkatrade), an obvious areas-covered section with the towns you actually work in, and public liability insurance mentioned in plain English. These signals do the convincing quietly, so the visitor is already reassured by the time they see the call button.
