Websites for trades and construction.
A good trade website quickly shows the quality of your work, where you operate and how easy it is to get hold of you.
How people choose a trade.
Most enquiries come from someone comparing two or three local firms after a recommendation or a search.
Photographs are the proof
Nothing convinces like finished work. A gallery of real projects, ideally with a line about what was involved, speaks louder than any claim about quality.
Local matters enormously
People search with a place name attached. Pages for the areas you genuinely cover, and consistent details across the site and your Google listing, decide whether you show up at all.
Make it easy to get in touch
Most trade enquiries are calls. The number should be visible without scrolling on a phone, and tappable everywhere it appears.
What a trade website usually needs.
Keep it focused: strong examples of your work, clear services and an easy route to get in touch.

Worth knowing.
Do we need pages for every area we cover?
Only for places you genuinely work and want more of. A handful of real, useful location pages performs far better than thirty thin ones with the town name swapped.
Can we add photos of jobs as we finish them?
Send them over whenever you like and we will get them on the site. That is part of the ongoing service.
Do we need a blog?
Usually not. For most trades, more project photographs and better area pages are a much better use of effort.
Will it work properly on a phone?
Yes, and it matters more here than almost anywhere – most of your visitors are standing in a kitchen or a driveway when they look you up.

A few lines about the business and what you need it to do is plenty to start.
