What should a trades website include?
- Call in one tap: phone number at the top of every page, a WhatsApp button and a short quote form.
- A page for each service: boiler repair, rewiring, extensions. Show prices or "from" prices and the areas you cover.
- Proof: before and after photos, reviews, Gas Safe/NICEIC/TrustMark details if you have them.
- Local SEO: a Google Business Profile, a page for each main town you work in, and the same name, number and address everywhere.
What not to pay for
- A big custom design. Customers want to call you, not admire animations.
- Expensive "SEO packages" before your Google Business Profile and reviews are sorted.
- Lead-generation sites that charge per lead if your own site can bring calls direct.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a plumber's website cost in the UK?
Most plumbers need a simple site costing £349 to £750, or a monthly plan around £69. Agency builds of £3,000 or more are rarely necessary.
What should an electrician's website include?
One-tap call, a page per service, areas covered, reviews, accreditations like NICEIC, and a quote form.
Do tradespeople need SEO?
Local SEO, yes: Google Business Profile, reviews and town pages bring most calls. Start there before paying for wider SEO.
Is a Facebook page enough instead of a website?
It helps, but a website ranks on Google, appears in AI answers and looks more trustworthy for bigger jobs.
How long does a trades website take to build?
About 1 to 2 weeks for a simple site once you've sent photos, services and areas covered.
