A website for a tradesperson costs a fixed £495 with us and is typically live in about 7 days, and it has one job: turn a local search into a quote request before the customer rings the next number on the list. Most jobs go to whoever looks trustworthy and replies fastest, so the site has to load quickly on a phone, show real proof of your work, and make asking for a quote a single tap.

How long does it take to build a tradesperson’s website?
About 7 days for a Starter site and 2 to 3 weeks for a Business site, counted from when your photos and details reach us. The thing that slows most trade sites down is waiting for job photos, so start collecting them now. More detail in how long a build actually takes.
What does a tradesperson’s website need to win work?
5 things, in this order of importance:
- One-tap contact on every page. A tap-to-call button, WhatsApp and a short quote form. Customers are usually on a phone and will not hunt for your number.
- Real photos of finished jobs. A gallery of your own kitchens, bathrooms, extensions or rewires does more for trust than any sales copy.
- Reviews and accreditations where people can see them. Google reviews, trade-body logos and guarantees, near the top, not buried on an about page.
- The areas you cover, named. Towns and postcodes in plain words, so customers and Google both know where you work.
- Speed. The BBC found it lost an additional 10% of users for every extra second its site took to load (web.dev, Google). On a phone, in a hurry, your customer is less patient than that.
Can I put my Checkatrade or Google reviews on my website?
Yes, as long as they are genuine and shown fairly. Since 6 April 2025, submitting or commissioning a fake consumer review, hiding that a review was incentivised, or publishing reviews in a misleading way is a banned practice under Schedule 20 of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. So show real reviews, do not cherry-pick in a way that misleads, and never pay for reviews you do not disclose. We pull in live reviews rather than pasting in quotes.
How do I get my trade business found on Google locally?
3 things decide it, by Google’s own account: local results are “mainly based on relevance, distance and popularity” (Google Business Profile Help). Google also says there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. Your website feeds relevance (clear pages for each service and town) and popularity (reviews and other sites linking to you). Most trade work starts with a search like “emergency electrician near me” or “extension builder in [your town]”, so we build a page for each service you sell and name the towns you cover. Our local SEO guide for UK businesses covers the map pack in detail, and every site we build is mobile-first.
Why does my trade website get visits but no quote requests?
Usually 1 of a handful of fixable reasons: the phone number is hard to find on a phone, there are no photos of real jobs, the quote form asks too much, or the page is slow. We design each page around a single action, requesting a quote, so the visitor never has to think about what to do next. Our rundown of the signs a website is costing you customers covers each one and how to fix it.
