Why your own website beats paying for every lead
Most people who need a tradesperson search on their phone, read a few reviews and ring the first firm that looks sound. If your website is not there, they ring someone else.
Directories such as Checkatrade and MyBuilder put you in a list next to your rivals, and you pay for each lead whether you win the job or not. Your own website does the opposite. It brings the enquiry straight to you, and it costs the same whether it brings in two jobs a month or twenty.
That is what website design for tradesmen is for. Not a pretty page to show the family, but a working tool that shows your work, says where you cover and makes it easy to call.
North Heat Yorkshire, a plumbing and heating firm, has a page for each service, its Google reviews and a boiler guide.
What a tradesman website needs
Every trade website we design has these built in. They are the things that turn a visit into a phone call.
A number they can tap
Your phone number sits at the top of every page as a tap-to-call button. On a phone, that is the whole job of the website.
A page for every service
Boiler repairs, rewires, flat roofs and extensions each get their own page. Each one can rank on its own, and each one answers the exact job someone is searching for.
A page for every area
Searches like “plumber in Harrogate” go to pages written for that town. Business and Premium plans include a page for each area you cover.
A quote form that takes photos
People can send a photo of the leak, the roof or the wall with their message. You see the job before you call back.
Your reviews on show
Your Google reviews appear on the website and update on their own. New customers see what past ones say before they ring.
Your badges where people look
Gas Safe, NICEIC, TrustMark, CHAS and the rest, shown near your phone number and quote form, with your registration number.
A gallery of finished jobs
Before and after photos, laid out so people can judge the quality of your work from their sofa.
Fast on a phone
Most visitors arrive on a mobile, often on a weak signal. Your website is built to load fast and work with one thumb.
Set up for Google
Titles, descriptions and schema on every page, plus Google Analytics and Search Console, so Google knows your trade and your area.
Website design for every trade
Each trade wins work in its own way, so each website is planned around the jobs you want more of. Here is what we build in for the trades we see most.
Builders and construction firms
A page for each type of job, from extensions and loft conversions to commercial fit-outs. A project gallery with a few lines on each job, and a page for every area you cover. If you work for businesses, a page for the sectors you serve. For building firms and contractors, see our construction web design.
Roofers
Pages for new roofs, repairs, flat roofs and guttering, so each one ranks on its own. A clear emergency number for storm damage, and before and after photos that prove the finish.
Plumbers and heating engineers
Your Gas Safe number next to the call button. Pages for boiler installs, repairs and servicing, and a page for each town you cover. A guide or two, such as what to do when the boiler stops, brings in people before they need you.
Electricians
Your NICEIC or NAPIT badge up front. Pages for rewires, consumer units, EV chargers and EICR checks, plus a quote form that asks the right questions so you can price the job quickly.
Plasterers and decorators
The work speaks for itself, so the gallery comes first. Pages for skimming, rendering and Venetian plaster, a free quote form, and reviews that say the finish was worth it.
Landscapers and groundworks
Big photos of finished gardens and driveways, a page for patios, fencing, drainage or whatever you want more of, and a quote form that lets people send a photo of the plot.
What tradesman website design costs
Here is how £39 a month compares with building it yourself or paying a web designer upfront.
DIY builder and agency figures are typical UK prices, October 2026. Your first year on Essential is 12 months at £39, which is £468.
Directories or your own website?
Plenty of our trade clients use both. The difference is who the enquiry belongs to, and what each one costs you over a year.
A directory listing
- You pay for each lead, won or lost
- You sit in a list next to your rivals
- The customer belongs to the directory
- Your reviews live on their website, not yours
Your own website
- One monthly price, however many jobs it brings in
- People find you by your trade and your town
- The enquiry comes straight to your phone
- Your reviews, photos and badges build your name, not theirs
Many trades start with a directory and keep it. Over time the website does more of the work, because every job you finish adds a photo, a review and a reason for Google to show you.
Tradesman website design prices
Three plans, one monthly price each. No setup fee on any of them, and the website is yours after 12 months.

Tradesman website design questions
- How much does a tradesman website cost?
From Ubie, £39 a month with no setup fee. That includes the design, UK hosting, a business email address, security, backups and updates. Business is £69 a month and adds location pages, written content and your Google reviews. Premium is £89 a month for more pages and more areas. Elsewhere in the UK, a trade website costs about £400 to £3,000 upfront, with hosting and changes charged on top.
- Do I still need a website if I am on Checkatrade or MyBuilder?
Yes, if you want work without paying for every lead. A directory lists you next to your rivals and charges per enquiry. Your own website shows up for searches like “roofer in Guildford” and sends the enquiry straight to you. Most of our trade clients use both, and the website does more of the work as time goes on.
- Will my website show up on Google for my trade and my town?
That is what it is built for. Every page gets proper titles, descriptions and schema, and we set up Google Analytics and Search Console. Business and Premium add a page for each town you cover. Rankings take a few weeks to build, and a Google Business Profile with regular reviews helps a lot.
- Can my website show the areas I cover?
Yes. Business includes a page for each of 5 towns or areas, and Premium covers 15. Each page is written for that place, so it ranks for searches like “electrician in Leeds”. On Essential, your main area is covered on the home page and service pages.
- Can people call me straight from the website?
Yes. Your number is a tap-to-call button on every page. There is also a quote form that lets people send photos and describe the job, and a WhatsApp button if you want one. Enquiries go to your email and phone.
- Can I show my Gas Safe, NICEIC or TrustMark badges?
Yes, and you should. We put your badges and registration numbers near the call button and quote form, where people look before they get in touch. Send us the logos or the numbers and we add them.
- Can I add photos of my work later?
Yes. Send photos from your phone whenever you finish a job and we add them to your gallery. Essential includes one small update a month. Business and Premium include unlimited updates within fair use.
- How long does it take to get a trade website live?
Most trade websites are live in under 2 weeks. We need your logo, some photos of your work and a few notes about your services and areas. You approve a preview before anything goes live.
- What pages does a tradesman website need?
A home page, a page for each service, a page for each area you cover, a gallery, reviews and a contact page with a quote form. Essential gives you up to 5 pages, Business up to 10 and Premium up to 20.
- I am flat out on the tools. How much of my time does it take?
About an hour in total. A short call, then some photos and notes sent from your phone. On Business and Premium we write the words for you, so there is no blank page to fill.
- Do I own the website?
Yes, once your first 12 months are paid. It is built on WordPress, so it is not tied to us. If you leave after that, we move it to you or your new provider.
- How long is the contract?
Plans start with 12 months. After that they carry on month to month at the same price, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.
- Is there anything else to pay?
No. There is no setup fee, and hosting, email, SSL, security, backups and updates are all in the monthly price. The only extras are add-ons you choose, such as a logo or an online store for a one-off £299 on Premium.
- I already have a domain and a website. Can you redesign it?
Yes. We keep your domain name and move it across when the new website goes live, so your email and your Google listing carry on as before. Send us the link and we will take a look.
- Is a DIY builder like Wix good enough for a tradesman?
It can be, if you have the time and know what to build. Most trades do not. A DIY builder costs £10 to £40 a month, you do the work yourself and the website stays on their platform. With us, Ben designs it, we look after it, and you own it after 12 months.
- Which plan is right for my trade?
Essential suits a sole trader who wants a professional website at the lowest price. Business suits most trades, with location pages, written content and your Google reviews. Premium suits firms with lots of services or a wide area, such as a builder covering a whole county.
