Built for the Trades

Most of our work is tradesman website design for small local firms – usually a sole trader or a handful of people, no marketing department, and no time to be chasing a web designer for updates. We build the site, hand you the keys, and get out of your way.

Plumbers

Emergency callouts, bathroom fits, boiler work – a site that makes it obvious what you do and how fast you answer.

Electricians

Certifications, testing, rewires. Show the qualifications customers are quietly checking for.

Roofers

Big-ticket jobs need proof. Photos of finished work do more than any amount of copy.

Landscapers

Before-and-after work sells itself. We build the gallery around it.

Builders

Extensions and renovations mean long decisions. Give people a reason to trust you early.

Heating Engineers

Gas Safe, servicing, installs — the details that separate you from the search results around you.

Not a trade? We also build for accountants, salons, lawyers and other local service businesses – same packages, same prices.

Three Ways to Get Online

Every price below is the price you pay. No hourly rates, no discovery call before we tell you a number, and nothing outside the scope of a package without a written quote first. Most trades start with the Starter Website; if your Google Business Profile needs optimising as well, the Standard Package covers both.

You own it. All of it.

Your domain name and your hosting account are bought in your name, with your card, on day one. Not ours. You get the logins, and you keep them.

This matters more than it sounds. Plenty of web designers register the domain in their own name and keep the hosting on their account. It seems helpful at the time. Then a few years later you want to make a change, or move to someone else, or your designer stops answering the phone — and you find out the website you paid for isn’t actually yours.

We don’t work that way, and we never have. If you decide to leave us, you take the domain, the hosting and the site with you. There’s nothing to unpick and nobody to ask. Every site in our portfolio is built on the same basis.

No contracts, no lock-in, no notice period on the website itself. The Website Care Plan is monthly, and you can cancel it with 30 days’ notice.

Hosting and domain are paid for by you directly to the provider, typically £50 – £70 a year. We’ll tell you what to expect before you buy anything.

How it works

Four steps from first contact to a live website. No long discovery process, no proposal documents, and nothing you haven’t agreed to in writing.

  1. Free Website Health Check

    We look at what you’ve got now – or at your competitors, if you haven’t got a site yet – and tell you honestly what’s working and what isn’t. It’s free, there’s no obligation, and you keep the report whatever you decide.

  2. Fixed Quote

    We agree exactly what you’re getting and what it costs, in writing, before anything starts. If you want something outside the package, we price it separately so you can decide. No hourly rates and no surprises at the end.

  3. We Build It

    You send us your business details, service descriptions and any photos you’ve got. We write the pages up from that and build the site. You get two rounds of changes to get it right.

  4. Launch

    We check it over, hand you the logins, and put it live. Analytics and Search Console are set up so you can see what’s happening. Then it’s yours.

Most Starter Websites go live within 7 to 14 working days of us receiving everything we need.

Website design for tradesmen in Northampton and across the county

We’re based in Northamptonshire and work with trades across Northampton, Bedford, Milton Keynes, Kettering, Wellingborough, Corby and Daventry. Everything is done remotely – email, phone, and a shared document for your content so there’s no waiting around for an appointment and no travel time built into your price.

Being local still matters for a different reason. When someone in Northampton searches for a plumber, Google weighs where you are and how well your business is set up locally. A good website is half of that. Your Google Business Profile is the other half, and the two work together which is why the Standard Package covers both.

No one can guarantee a position in Google’s search results. That’s Google’s decision, not ours. What we can promise is that your website will be properly built, quick to load, and set up so that customers who find you have every reason to get in touch.

Not in one of those towns? We work with small business web design clients across the UK – the process and our services are the same wherever you are.

Common Questions

If yours isn’t here, ask us. We’ll give you a straight answer.

What does a website actually cost?

The Starter Website is £495, the Standard Package is £795 and the Growth Package is £1,127. Those are the prices published above. If you want something that isn’t in a package, let us know, and we’ll tell you the costs before we start.

How long does it take?

Typically 7 to 14 working days for a Starter Website and 10 to 15 for the Standard Package, once we’ve got everything we need from you. The content is usually what holds things up, so the sooner you send your details and photos, the sooner it goes live.

I’ve already got a website. Do I need a new one?

Not necessarily. Sometimes a website needs fixing rather than replacing, and that’s what the Website Repair Service is for: from £95. Start with the free Health Check, and we’ll tell you honestly which one you need. If repairs would cost close to the price of a new site, we’ll say so.

If you prefer to start yourself, use our free checklist for your existing website.

What do I need to give you?

Your business details, a description of the services you offer, your contact details, and any photos of your work you’d like used. We write the pages up from that. If you haven’t got photos, we’ll use stock images.

Genuine photographs of your work can help build trust and show potential customers the quality and type of services you provide.

Clear, relevant photographs of completed jobs, your team or your business can make your website feel more authentic and help customers understand what to expect.

Do I need to write the content?

No. Basic page content is written up from the information you give us. Extensive copywriting isn’t included, but for most trade sites it isn’t needed.

Who owns the domain and hosting?

You do, in your name, from day one. You buy the domain and hosting directly from the provider – usually somewhere between £50 and £70 a year – and you keep the logins. Nothing is registered in our name. Prices change over time, so we’ll look at the current deals then tell you which one to go for, and walk you through setting it up.

What happens after it goes live?

Nothing you need to do. If you’d like us to look after it, the Website Care Plan is £59 a month and covers updates, backups, security checks and minor changes. It’s rolling, with 30 days’ notice to cancel. Plenty of clients don’t take it, and that’s fine too.

I’ve already had an audit from you. Does that come off the price?

Yes. If you’ve paid either £79 for a Professional Website Audit or £79 for a Google Business Profile Audit, we deduct that price from any website package bought within 30 days of an audit – whether that was a Website Professional Audit or a Google Business Profile Audit. If you have had both audits, the credit is for the cost of one of the audits only, not both.

When do I pay?

Anything under £250 is paid in full before work starts. Website packages require a 50% deposit before work begins, with the balance due before your website goes live. If we haven’t started work, you get a full refund, no questions asked.

Let’s find out what you need

Start with the free Website Health Check. We’ll look at your current site or your competitors’ if you haven’t got one, and tell you honestly whether you need a new website, a few repairs, or nothing at all. It’s free, and you keep the report either way.
