What you get

Six parts. Every one of them there to make the phone ring.

All six are in the build, whichever way you go. Not an add-on list you find out about in month three, and nothing held back to be sold to you later.

A trade website built from scratch

Every page is written and built around your trade, the towns you cover and the jobs you want more of. No page builder and no template with your name dropped into it. You approve the homepage design before we build the rest.

Hand built pages

Local search and your Google listing

We set up or fix your Google Business Profile, get your name, address and phone matching everywhere Google checks, and build the service and town pages that put you in front of people searching nearby. We tell you what month one, month three and month six realistically look like.

Google Business Profile

Fast on a phone, even on one bar

Your site is built to load in under two seconds on a normal phone on 4G, because that is where your customer is standing when they search. On launch day we time yours in front of you, and if it is slower than that we fix it before you take the site.

Under two seconds

Enquiry forms that filter out time wasters

Emergency callouts get a tap to ring number and nothing in the way. Planned work gets a form that asks for postcode, access, timescale, rough budget and two photos, so your first call is a pricing conversation and not a fishing trip.

Fewer bad leads

Google reviews, asked for properly

You get a one tap review link and a short message you can send from the van the moment you have been paid. The reviews land on your Google listing where they help you show up, and they pull through onto your website on their own.

One tap reviews

Hosting, updates and someone who picks up

Hosting, backups, security, and up to six changes a year to prices, photos or services, done within two working days of you asking. Anything bigger is priced before we start it, never after. If you ever leave, you take the domain, the files and the logins at no charge.

Cancel any time

How it works

Four steps, and about 90 minutes of your time

You are on the tools, so we keep your side of it short. Here is exactly what we need from you and when we need it.

01

A twenty minute call

We ring you and ask what work you want more of, what you want less of, the towns you cover and your minimum callout. Nothing to prepare and nothing to fill in. Tell us what time suits and we ring then.

Day one, 20 minutes

02

Twelve photos and your numbers

Send twelve job photos and your registration details, Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, public liability, whatever applies to you. Want a hand choosing them, just ask. The layout is designed to look right with eight photos, not eighty.

Day two, 30 minutes

03

We write it and build it

We write the copy, build the pages, set up your Google listing and send you a link to look at on your phone. Ten working days, because it is written for your firm from a blank page. Your job is to read it once and tell us what is wrong.

Ten working days, 20 minutes of yours

04

Live, and the keys in your hand

We put it live and register the domain in your name. You get every login, the hosting account and a plain English note telling you how to take the whole site to another builder if you ever want to.

Launch day, 20 minutes

What it does

Three jobs your website has to do

A website is a tool, not a brochure. These are the three things yours is built to do, and how it does them.

Gets you found in your own patch

Town pages, service pages and a Google listing set up properly, so you turn up when somebody two miles away searches for a roofer near me. That is the difference between renting enquiries by the month and having your own.

Found in your town

Turns visitors into enquiries you can price

Your number sits at the top of every page, there is a WhatsApp route for people who will not ring a stranger, and the form asks the questions you would ask anyway. Every enquiry texts your mobile the second it lands, and the page tells the customer when you will call back.

Enquiries you can price

Looks like the firm you actually are

Your own photos, your registration numbers, your guarantee and the area you cover, laid out so a homeowner comparing three quotes can see who does the tidier job. Same work you have always done, finally shown properly.

Trust at a glance

The awkward bits

The four things people say before they say yes

These come up on nearly every call. Here are the honest answers, including the times when a website is not the thing that will fix it.

I have got a Facebook page, that does the job

Keep the Facebook page, it is genuinely useful for showing this week's work. It does a different job to a website though. When someone searches for an emergency electrician near me at 11pm, Google shows websites and map listings, and Facebook will not hold your NICEIC number, your callout radius or your prices anywhere a search engine can read them.

I paid for a website before and it never brought me a single job

It is usually one of three things: template copy with your town dropped into it, a page that crawls on a phone, or no Google listing set up behind it, so you were never in the map results at all. Send us the address of your current site and we will tell you which of those went wrong before you pay us anything, including if the answer is that it is fixable and you do not need a rebuild.

I am on the tools all day, I have not got time for this

About an hour and a half of your time in total and roughly twelve photos off your phone. That is a twenty minute call, half an hour digging out photos and registration numbers, and a read through at the end. We write every page and we chase you rather than waiting to be chased. Go quiet for a fortnight because you are flat out and the project waits for you.

I already pay a directory, why do I need a website as well?

Because a directory rents you enquiries that go to ten or twenty other trades at the same moment, and the day you stop paying you are back to nothing. Do not take our word on the numbers. Open your banking app, add up what you paid in lead fees over the last twelve months, and work out what that came to per job you actually won.

In their words

What the trades we build for say

Six of the firms we build for, in their own words.

Had a site done years back off a bloke on Facebook and it never once rang the phone. This one I can actually find myself when I google plumber in Warrington. Took about an hour and a half of my time and that was mostly digging photos off my phone.

DWDave Whitmore
Whitmore Plumbing & Heating, Warrington

The bit that sold me was putting my NICEIC number and my callout area on the front page. I have stopped getting rung about jobs forty miles up the road, which is worth more to me than the enquiries themselves.

KJKarl Jennings
KJ Electrical, Leeds

Straight talkers. Told me on the first call that I did not need half of what I was asking for, which is not what you expect. Site went up when they said it would and it looks better than the two lads I quote against.

SOSeán O'Doherty
O'Doherty Roofing, Drogheda

The form asks for postcode, access and a couple of photos before anyone gets through to me. First call is now about pricing the job instead of twenty minutes finding out it is a ten quid patio job in the next county.

MHMarcus Hale
Hale Landscapes, Bristol

I am not a computer person and I did not have to be. They wrote the lot, I read it once and changed two words. The review link they set up gets used from the van and the reviews turn up on the site on their own.

RPRyan Petrie
Petrie Kitchens, Glasgow

Wanted something that made us look right to main contractors, not just homeowners. The documents section with our insurance and method statements has been used more than the rest of the site put together.

Straight answers

Questions we get asked most

Useful whether you hire us or not. If you are comparing three or four studios, these are the questions to put to all of them.

How much does a website cost for a tradesman in the UK?
Less than most people expect. Ours work out at under the price of a coffee a day, and we give you the full figure on the first call rather than making you chase it. Across the market, builds run from a few hundred pounds to several thousand depending on pages and writing. Whoever you ask, get the five year total before you sign anything.
How long does it take to build a website for my trade business?
Three weeks from the day you give us the go ahead, and that goes in writing before you pay anything. Ten working days of it is the build itself. The rest is us waiting on your photos, so the faster those land the sooner you are live. Need it up for a leaflet drop or new van livery, say so at the start.
Why is my business not showing up on Google Maps?
Almost always one of four things: no Google Business Profile, one that was never verified by post or video, a business name and address that does not match what is on your website, or no reviews at all. Fix those in that order. It is free to do yourself, and it usually moves the needle faster than any change to your website.
Do I have to write the words for my website myself?
No. You talk through your jobs for about twenty minutes, we draft every page from that, and you read them back and change anything that is not how you would actually say it. You supply the photos, roughly a dozen decent ones off your phone, plus your registration numbers and the areas you cover.
How long does it take to rank on Google as a tradesman?
Expect very little in month one, your Google listing showing in the local map results by month two or three, and steady search traffic by month six. Anyone promising number one in 72 hours is selling you something. Showing up for your town and trade is realistic. Covering a whole county takes a lot longer.
Will my website work properly on a phone?
Yes, ours are built phone first, because that is where nearly every trade enquiry starts. That means a tap to call button fixed to the bottom of the screen, text you can read in daylight without pinching, photos that do not stall on 4G, and pages that load in under two seconds on a normal phone.
Do I own my website if a designer builds it?
With us, yes, outright, and you get it in writing before you pay. Whoever you use, insist on four things being named: who the domain is registered to, where the files are stored, who holds the logins, and how you move the whole site elsewhere if you leave. If a designer will not put that in writing, walk away.
What happens to my old website when the new one goes live?
Your old site stays live and untouched until you have signed the new one off, then it switches over in an evening so you never lose a day of enquiries. You keep your existing web address, we keep a copy of the old pages, and the old page links point at the matching new ones so Google does not lose you.

Next step

Ninety minutes of your time and twelve photos. We do the rest.

Tell us your trade and your town and you get a straight yes, no, or not yet, within one working day. If a website is not the thing you need right now, we will say so.

Nothing to sign

No twelve month tie in, no exit fee and no notice period. Stop whenever you like and the site stays yours.

It is yours, in writing

Before you pay a penny we tell you who the domain is registered to, where the files sit, who holds the logins, and exactly how to move the site to another builder. On paper, not as a slogan.

Your side of it is small

No copy to write, no logins to chase, no hosting to work out. Answer questions for about an hour and a half and send twelve decent photos. Short of photos, we will tell you what to shoot.
