How much does a website for a trade business cost?

Our trade websites are fixed-price, so you know the cost before we start, with no hourly billing. A Starter site is £477, a Growth site is £1,170 and a Complete build is £2,370, with care plans from £27 a month. SEO and redesigns are quoted per project once we have seen what you need.

How long does it take to build?

Most trade sites go live in three to six weeks. The timeline depends mainly on how quickly you can get us your photos, job details and reviews. The build itself moves fast once we have those in hand.

Do I own the website, or am I tied to you?

You own your website, your domain and your data outright, with no lock-in. Every build includes a simple admin panel so you can add photos and reviews yourself, plus 30 days of aftercare, and a care plan is entirely optional if you would rather we handle the updates.

Will my site actually show up on Google for Liverpool searches?

We can't promise a number-one ranking, and nobody honest can, but we build every site to be found: fast mobile pages, a properly set-up Google Business Profile and content that reflects the Liverpool areas you cover. Over time, that is what earns steady 'near me' enquiries.

What is a free teardown?

A free teardown is a short screen-recorded review of your current website. We walk through it on camera, point out what is working, what is quietly costing you jobs and the quickest fixes, then send you the video to keep with no obligation.

Websites for Tradesmen in Liverpool: Plumbers, Electricians & Builders

By Mohammad Javad Samadi·15 April 2026·6 min read·Liverpool

If you fit boilers in Anfield, rewire terraces in Wavertree or build extensions out towards the Wirral, your next customer almost certainly checks you out online before they ring. That is exactly why good websites for tradesmen in Liverpool earn their keep: they turn a phone-screen search at 9pm into a booked job by the morning. A tidy van and word of mouth still matter, but more and more of the work now starts with a Google search and a quick look at your site.

The trouble is, most trade websites in the city are years out of date, painful to use on a phone, or invisible on Google. Here is what actually works for plumbers, electricians and builders here, and how to build a site that brings in the right jobs rather than tyre-kickers.

How people in Liverpool actually find a tradesperson

Liverpool is a city of older housing stock: rows of Victorian terraces in Kensington and Toxteth, Georgian townhouses in the Georgian Quarter, post-war semis out towards Childwall and Woolton. That means steady demand for rewires, damp work, boiler swaps, loft conversions and extensions. It also means most enquiries start the same way. Someone stands in a cold kitchen or a half-finished bathroom, pulls out their phone and searches 'emergency plumber L15' or 'electrician near me'. Most local searches happen on mobile, and if your site loads slowly or looks broken on a small screen, they are already dialling the next name on the list.

Word of mouth is still gold on Merseyside. A recommendation in a Wavertree community group or a shout-out on a local Facebook page carries real weight. But even a warm referral gets checked. People search your business name, glance at your Google reviews and open your website before they call. A proper site is what turns that recommendation into a booking instead of a maybe.

What the best websites for tradesmen in Liverpool get right

The trades that stay booked out do not have flashy sites. They have useful ones. Every page answers a nervous customer's question and makes the next step obvious: ring now, or send a photo and get a quote. Good website design for a trade business does a handful of simple things well, and you can see how that looks in practice across the sites we build.

→Click-to-call buttons that work with one tap, because half your visitors are on a phone and want to speak to someone now, not fill in a long form.

→A short quote form where someone can describe the job and attach a photo of the leaking pipe or the fuse board, so you can price it without a wasted visit.

→A before-and-after gallery of real jobs — a rewired terrace, a fitted en-suite, a rendered gable — because photos of your work sell far harder than any slogan.

→Google reviews on the page, plus your Gas Safe, NICEIC or Checkatrade badges front and centre to prove you are the real thing.

→Clear service areas, so a customer in Crosby, Bootle or Speke knows you cover them before they bother getting in touch.

“Photos of your actual work sell far harder than any slogan — a rewired terrace does the convincing for you.”

Getting found across L1 to L40

A smart-looking site is no use if nobody sees it. When someone searches 'boiler repair Aigburth' or 'builder near me', Google leans heavily on your Google Business Profile and the words on your website to decide who to show first. Getting that right is the difference between page one and page five.

This is where local SEO earns its place. It means a fully filled-out Google Business Profile with your real service area, recent photos and a steady trickle of reviews; pages that mention the neighbourhoods you genuinely work in, from West Derby to Allerton to the Wirral, without stuffing names in awkwardly; and fast, mobile-first pages Google is happy to rank. For a trade covering the whole of Merseyside, a simple set of service-area pages often does more for your phone than any amount of paid ads.

Trusted, and simple to run yourself

Trades live and die on trust. You are asking someone to let you into their home, so your website should carry that weight: real photos of you and the van, your certifications, honest reviews and clear pricing wherever you can give it. Skip the stock images of someone else's toolbox.

Just as important, you should own the whole thing. With us you own your site, your domain and your data outright, with no lock-in and no ringing an agency every time you want to add a review or a fresh photo. Every build comes with a simple admin panel and 30 days of aftercare, and if you would rather never touch it, a care plan keeps the site updated, backed up and secure for a fixed monthly fee. We are a small UK team you deal with directly, and we pick up the phone.

What it costs and how quickly you can be live

Because we work to fixed prices, you know the cost before we start. No hourly billing, no nasty surprises at the end. Websites start at £477 for a sharp one-page Starter, £1,170 for a Growth site with room to rank, and £2,370 for a Complete build, with care plans from £27 a month. Most trade sites go live in three to six weeks, which is quicker than you might expect when you have jobs to get back to. You can see the full pricing laid out plainly, or send over your current site and we will show you exactly where it is leaking work.
