Websites for trades · Kent

Your customers are on their phone. Is your website?

Plumbers, sparkies, scaffolders, landscapers, paving. I build the site, write the words and take the photos. All you do is answer the phone.

£295 to build it, then £50 a month. Photos included, no contract, and the site's yours.

£295

To build it, then £50 a month. The nearest agency in Kent starts at £1,350 in year one, and they won't take your photos.

Photos too

I come out and shoot your work, drone and all. Most sites stall because nobody sends the pictures. Not this one.

Under 1s

How long this page takes to load on a phone. The average trade website takes six, and most people have gone by then.

Recent builds

Scroll them. They're live.

These are real, working sites — not pictures of sites. Have a scroll through one on the phone below, or open it full size. Each was built round how that particular trade actually wins work.

Plumbing & heating

Poseidon Plumbing & Gas

Built for people standing in a cold kitchen at seven in the morning. The phone number never leaves the screen, and there's a call bar fixed to the bottom of every page.

The clever bit: a price board on the homepage — call-out, CP12, annual service. The number one reason people don't ring a plumber is not knowing what it'll cost.

Electrical

SparkE Electrical

Registration number, insurance and guarantee sat right beside the headline, because letting an electrician into your house is a trust decision before it's a price one.

The clever bit: a symptom triage board — burning smell, tripping, flickering — telling people how urgent it is. Useful to the customer, and it quietly proves he knows his job.

Scaffolding

Steel Horse Scaffolding

Mostly a trade audience — roofers and builders — so the tone is priced-and-scheduled rather than warm. Heavier, harder, built to look like the yard it comes from.

The clever bit: a compliance board up top — CISRS, TG20, liability cover, inspection cycle. Those four things are the buying criteria in scaffolding, so they go first.

Driveways & paving

Kerbstone Driveways

A £4,000 decision that most people make while thoroughly confused. So the site does the explaining before anyone picks up the phone.

The clever bit: an honest comparison table — block, resin, tarmac, gravel — with real prices and lifespans, plus the planning permission rule nobody mentions. Answering the hard question first is what earns the call.

Landscaping

Fernbank Landscapes

Garden design-and-build, where the whole sale is won on pictures of previous jobs. Warmer and softer than the rest, built to be browsed rather than skimmed.

The clever bit: three budget bands — what £6k, £15k and £25k actually buys. It's the question every customer has and never asks, so answering it up front does the qualifying for them.

Bathrooms

Marlowe Bathrooms

A bathroom is an £8,000 decision made by someone who's terrified it'll leak in three years. So the site deals with that first and talks about taps later.

The clever bit: a cross-section of what sits behind the tiles, ending on the waterproof membrane. Then it hands the customer two questions to ask whoever else is quoting. That's a site doing the selling when he isn't in the room.

Kitchens

Bramling Kitchens

Quieter and more showroom than the rest, because a kitchen gets researched for weeks before anyone rings anybody.

The clever bit: a day-by-day fitting timeline with the days you're properly without a kitchen shaded in. Every customer asks how long it takes. Nobody's website answers it.

Handyman

RapidHand

Warmer and softer than the rest, because the customer is often an older homeowner deciding whether to let a stranger into the house.

The clever bit: a half-day and full-day rate board showing what actually fits in the time. Handymen sell hours, not jobs, and nobody else's site explains that.

How it works

Four steps, about a week.

Step 01

Free audit

I check how your site performs against Google's own benchmarks and what it does on a phone. You get the findings whether you hire me or not.

Step 02

You see it first

I build a version of your site before you've paid anything. If you don't like it, you've lost nothing but a phone call.

Step 03

I do the legwork

I come out and photograph your work, drone included where it helps, and we have twenty minutes on the phone about how you win jobs. You don't write a word or send me a single picture.

Step 04

Live and looked after

Domain, hosting, SSL, the lot. Changes are included — ring me, don't fill in a ticket.

Pricing

No quotes-on-request nonsense.

You wouldn't make your customers ring to find out roughly what a job costs, so I'm not doing it to you.

Talk it through

What the £50 a month actually covers

  • Hosting, SSL and backupsFast hosting, the padlock in the address bar, and a backup taken every day. If something breaks, it gets put back.
  • Your domain, renewedRegistered in your name, not mine, and paid for out of the monthly. If you ever leave, it goes with you.
  • Up to an hour of changes a monthNew number, new photos, a service added, prices updated. You ring or message me and it's done, usually same day.
  • Uptime monitoringI get told if the site goes down before you do. That's the bit most people find out about from a customer.
  • A monthly emailHow many people found you, how many rang, and where you're sitting on Google for the searches that matter. Two minutes to read.
  • Your Google listing kept currentHours, photos, services and posts. It's free and it's where most people actually find a trade.
  • A photo refresh once a yearI come back out and shoot your recent work so the site doesn't still show a job from three years ago.
  • Me, on the end of a phoneNot a ticket system, not a helpdesk in another country. The person who built it is the person who answers.

Thirty days' notice, whenever you like. No tie-in, no exit fee, and you keep the domain and the site.

On £120 a month, all of that plus

  • A page for every serviceBoiler installs, bathrooms, emergency call-outs. Each one can turn up in its own search instead of being a line on the homepage.
  • A page for every townSomeone in Broadstairs searching "roofer Broadstairs" lands on a page about Broadstairs, not a generic one. That's most of how local search is won.
  • Two articles a monthWritten from the questions you actually get asked on quotes. Costs you a five minute phone call and it's what Google rewards over time.
  • Reviews chased for youA follow-up that goes to customers after a job asking for a Google review. Reviews are the single biggest thing most trades are missing.
  • A proper monthly reportRankings tracked for the searches that matter to you, so you can see whether it's moving rather than taking my word for it.
  • Photos twice a yearTwo shoots instead of one, so the work on the site keeps up with the work you're doing.

Worth it once you're doing jobs worth four figures. Below that, the £50 does the job and I'll say so.

Included, not extra

Your work, shot properly. From the ground and the air.

Most trade websites stall at the same place: the photos never turn up. So I come to you. A couple of hours on a job or a recent one you're proud of, and I shoot it myself, including aerial work with a drone where it suits, which for roofing, scaffolding, driveways and landscaping is most of the time. CAA registered and insured. You don't dig out a single picture off your phone.

Ask about a shoot

Free, no catch

I'll audit your current site in about two minutes.

Send me the address and you'll get back how long it takes to load, what it looks like on a phone, whether your contact form actually works, and where you sit on Google for "[your trade] [your town]". No sales call attached — plenty of people take the audit and do nothing, and that's fine.

Send me your site

Get in touch

Let's have a look at it.

Ring, text, WhatsApp or fill the form in — whatever's easiest. If you're on a job, send a message and I'll reply this evening.
