Web design for trades: Websites that make the phone ring
Hand-coded, fast, and built to be found locally. Every site gets a page for each service you sell and each town you cover, because that's what people search for.
01 How it works
Google ranks pages, not websites
If you do rewires and EV chargers in Fareham and Whiteley, you want a page for each. That way there's a page that matches when someone searches for exactly that. One page saying "electrician, Hampshire" won't do it.
So every site gets all of them, for one price. £450 whether you do three services in Eastleigh or twelve across the whole county.
02 The builds
One site. One price.
Half when we start, half when it goes live. Nothing goes live with a balance outstanding.
Website
Home, about, contact, reviews, FAQ and a services hub, plus a page for every service you sell and every town you cover. No limit on either. I write every page.
£450
Hosting and support free for the first 12 months, then £25 a month. Or take the files and host it yourself.
03 Included
On every site
All for £450. No extras for the basics.
- A page for every service you sell and every town you cover, no limit on how many (Google ranks pages, not websites)
- Every page written by me, after a 20-minute chat
- Hand-coded and hosted on Cloudflare's network. No page builder, no plugins, nothing to slow it down
- Photos generated at several sizes so pages load fast on a phone on mobile data
- Your Google Business Profile aligned to the site (name, phone, services, categories, map), at no extra charge
- Structured data (schema) matching your Google listing
- A unique title, description and sharing image for every page
- Sitemap, robots file and an llms.txt so AI assistants describe your business correctly
- A quote form on every page, sent straight to your inbox
- Tap-to-call on mobile
- A proper 404 page, security headers, SSL, DNS set up
- Visitor stats (analytics) and Google Search Console set up and verified
04 Hand-coded
Why no page builder
Page builders and plugins make sites slow and bloated. I hand-code every site so it loads fast on a phone in a van with one bar of signal, and host it on Cloudflare's network.
It also means there's no drag-and-drop editor to break. Send me the change and I'll do it: £45 a time, or included in the monthly plans.
Hosting and support is free for the first 12 months, then £25 a month. Or I'll hand you the files and you can host it yourself for nothing. Your site, your choice.

07 Questions
Straight answers
Why is my site going to have so many pages?
Google ranks pages, not websites. If you do rewires and EV chargers in Fareham and Whiteley, you want a page for each, so you show up when someone searches for exactly that. One page saying "electrician, Hampshire" won't do it.
Can I make changes myself?
The sites are hand-coded so they load fast, which means there's no drag-and-drop editor to break. Send me the change and I'll do it: £45 a time, or included in the monthly plans.
I've already got a website. Can you just fix it?
Sometimes. Usually it's quicker and cheaper to build a proper one than patch an old WordPress site. I'll look at yours and tell you straight which it is.
How long does it take?
Usually two to three weeks from when I've got your content: your services, the towns you cover, some photos of your work. The waiting is almost always on content, so the quicker that comes in, the quicker you're live.
Do I own my website and domain?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name. Hosting and support is free for the first year. After that it's £25 a month, or I'll hand you the files and you can host it yourself for nothing. Your site, your choice.
Next step
Ring me. I answer my own phone.
20 minutes on what your business does and where the work comes from. Then a fixed price, in writing.
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. If I miss your call, I'll get back to you, usually by the next working day.
