Website design for UK local service businesses

We offer website design for local service businesses across the UK, built to show up on Google while making it easy for customers to contact you. Whether you need a simple starter website or a growth website made to win more local work, we handle the build so you can get on with the job.

Why it matters

Why your trade business needs a proper website

When someone needs a plumber, electrician, or a cleaner, they usually search online before they call anyone. Here's what a proper website does for you:

  1. Customers check you out before they call youThey look at your website to see what you do, where you work, and whether you are reliable.

  2. You own your websiteDirectory listings and social pages follow someone else's rules and fees, but your domain, words and photos remain yours.

  3. It shows the proof that gets people to callYour website is where you show your reviews and work in one place, and where your Google Business Profile sends people to find out more.

  4. Google can find and understand itA site that loads quickly, works well on a phone and explains your services clearly is more likely to show up when customers nearby search.

A good trade website does more than give your business an online presence. It helps customers understand your services, build confidence in your work, and see clearly how to get in touch.

Built for search

How your website helps you get found on Google

When someone searches for a plumber, electrician or cleaner nearby, Google looks for pages that match what they typed and where they typed it. A good trade website gives Google that match and gives customers a reason to call. Here is how we build it:

  1. A page for each service

    Someone searching "boiler repair" wants a page about boiler repair, not a list of everything you do. Each service gets its own page, so each one can show up in searches for that service. Want help beyond the website? See our Local SEO service.

  2. A page for every area you cover

    Customers search by town, so we write area pages that say where you work. That helps you show up when someone nearby looks for your services.

  3. Fast, clear, and easy to use on a phone

    Most customers will visit your site on a mobile phone. So, we design every site to load quickly. We also place your phone number and quote/booking form where they can easily find them.

  4. Connected to your Google Business Profile

    Your profile helps you appear on Google Maps and in local results, and your website gives customers the details they need to decide. We link the two, so they support each other. If you need help with the profile itself, we offer Google Business Profile Setup and Google Business Profile Management.

How it works

    Send us your brief

    Share the details listed under What we need from you, and we will start the clock.

    We build your site and write every page from your brief, with a quote or booking form and a link to your Google Business Profile in place.

  4. Step 4

    You see every page before launch and tell us what to change.

  5. Step 5

    Your website goes live

    Starter websites go live in 1 week, and Growth websites go live in 3 weeks, with your domain, hosting and SSL included for your first 12 months.

Already have a website?

Already have a website? Start with a website audit and fix-up

If your site is slow, dated, or not bringing in enquiries, you may not need a new one. Our website audit and fix-up finds what is slowing it down and fixes it, so you know where you stand before you spend more.

What you get

  • A check of what is slowing your site down or breaking it
  • The fixes are made for you, not just a list of problems
  • Results within 3 working days of giving us your website details
  • A fixed price of £299

If we find the site is beyond repair, we credit the £299 towards the setup price of a Starter or Growth website.

FAQs

FAQs for website design

How much does a website for a tradesperson cost?

Our Starter website is £299 and our Growth website is £399, paid once when you order. Both include your domain, hosting, SSL and five updates for the first year. From year two those renew at £129 a year. Both are fixed prices, so you know what you'll pay before you order.

What does the £129 a year cover?

Your domain renewal, hosting, SSL certificate and up to five updates to your site in the year. The first year is in the setup price. There is no long contract: cancel before your renewal date and you keep your domain, words and photos.

Which website do I need, Starter or Growth?

If you have one trade and want to cover one area, Starter is the right fit. If you offer several services or cover several towns, choose Growth, because each service and area gets its own page that can rank on its own.

How long does it take to build my website?

Starter takes one week, and Growth takes three weeks, counted from the day we have your brief.

What counts as an update?

A change to a page that is already live: new photos, a price change, new opening hours, or a new line on your services page. You get five a year. Bigger changes, such as a new page, we quote for separately.

What should a trade website include?

It should load fast on a phone, show your work and reviews, say which areas you cover, and put your phone number and a quote form where customers can find them easily. Our websites are built around those points.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every page we write is written for search, and Growth adds service and area pages that give you more chances to be found. No one can promise a ranking, but we build the site to give you the best chance.

Do I need SEO as well as a new website?

Your website includes pages written for search, which is the foundation. If you want ongoing help improving your visibility, our local SEO service builds on it.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The domain, the words and the photos are yours, and you can take the site elsewhere.

I already have a website. Do I need a new one?

Often not. Our Website Audit and Fix-Up finds what's slowing your site down or breaking it and fixes it for £299. If it's beyond fixing, we credit that against a new site.

Who writes the pages?

A person writes them from your brief, and you approve every page before launch.
