A website for a tradesman: what it needs and what it costs
Number at the top, services, area, proof. What to skip, and the price of a site that gets calls.
See the templatesThe short answer: a tradesman's website has one job: get the phone to ring. Your number at the top of the page, big, tappable. Under it, what you do, where, and proof you are real. That is the whole site, and it beats most of the five page ones.
What goes on it
- Phone number first, before any photo
- The jobs you do, in a list: boiler repair, bathrooms, rewires, whatever is true
- The area, by town names, because that is what people search
- Proof: Gas Safe number, NICEIC, insurance, years trading, reviews
- Six photos of finished jobs
- A short form for people who will not ring
