Websites for trades
A website that wins you the job before you pick up the phone.
You don’t need to think about your website. Tell us what you do and where you work, send a few photos of your jobs, and we’ll write it, build it and keep it running. You get a site built around how your customers choose a trade, not a template with your name dropped in.
From £550 + VAT
Hosting free for 12 months
How many jobs would pay for it?
Put in what you make on a typical job, after materials.
If one job is worth more than £550 to you, a single booking from your website covers a Simple site.
We can’t promise how much work a website brings in. This just shows how little it needs to.
“The finished piece was on time and in budget.”
Why work with us
-
Local to you
We’re based near Southwold and work with plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, carpenters and other trades across East Suffolk. We usually talk things through by phone or video call, and can meet in person when it helps.
-
Your own place online
Facebook, directories and listing sites can change their rules, charge more or bury you. Your website, your web address and everything on it belong to you. If you ever want to move it, we hand everything over.
-
Built for your business
Ready-made foundations keep the price fixed. On top of them, we work out what your customers need to see and set it out so it’s clear at a glance, however much you do.
What we take off your hands
What you do
- Answer a few questions about your work and the areas you cover
- Send us some photos of real jobs
- Check it over before it goes live
What we do
- Write every page for you, in the words people type into Google when they need your trade
- Work out how it’s laid out, so customers find what they need fast
- Link up your Google Business Profile and reviews
- Your web address, email set-up and hosting, all sorted
- Keep it online and secure, and fix anything that breaks
- Make changes when you need them
What customers check before they call you
-
Your reviews
Recent, real reviews, ideally on Google. They’re often the first thing people look at, and the thing that tips it.
-
Photos of real jobs
Your own work, not stock photos. Before and after shots are even better.
-
That you’re qualified
The schemes you belong to, like Gas Safe, NICEIC or TrustMark, with your registration number so they can check.
-
Whether you cover their area
The towns and villages you work in, so nobody wonders whether you’ll come out to them.
-
What you do, and don’t
Your services, clearly listed, so they know they’ve found the right person for the job.
-
How to get hold of you
A number they can tap to call, a quick way to ask for a quote, and a sense of how fast you reply.
How a Simple site covers it
- Your Google Business Profile linked up, so your reviews are a tap away
- A gallery of your real work, which you can add to yourself
- Your accreditations and registration numbers, clearly shown
- The areas you cover, on every page
- A page for each of your main services, so people searching for them can find you
- Tap to call on phones, and a contact form for quotes
Want your site to do more?
If you’ll keep adding projects, news and offers, the Business site is built for that. We start with a plan for what your site needs to do, set up your listings on Google, Bing and Apple Maps, and you can post updates yourself.
£1,500 + VAT. The first 12 months of hosting are free.
