Web design for trades in Rotherham & Sheffield
A website that shows your work, your prices and a button that rings your phone. Built by me, in a week or so, for a price you can see before you ask.
You deal with me, Ben. From the first chat to the finished job.
01 / Why bother
You do good work. Your van's clean, your jobs are tidy and your customers say nice things. None of that shows up when somebody searches for what you do at nine o'clock at night.
That's the whole job of this: be there when they look, show them the work, make it one tap to ring you.
02 / The work
One paying client and two demo builds. Have a look on your phone.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning, Pontefract
His prices, his before and after photos and one tap to get in touch. Then a QR code for his van and 5,000 flyers.
Joinery, Swallownest
A proper home for a local joiner's work, built around his own photos and the jobs he wants more of.
Hunting trips, Romania
A build in five languages, still on its demo address. Bigger jobs like this are priced separately.
03 / One that worked
Carpet cleaner in Pontefract. Cracking before and afters, public prices, and you couldn't find him anywhere outside Facebook. Four days after I first got in touch his site was live on his own domain.
Since then he's had 5,000 flyers, a QR code on the van and a care plan that keeps it all ticking over.
Have a look at Gary's site04 / The price
Pick the one that fits. Anything bigger gets a written price before I start.
£25 a month on both: hosting, security, your domain renewed each year and small changes done within two working days. No contract. Cancel with a month's notice and everything is handed over free.
£300
Paid when it goes live. Nothing up front.
For getting online quickly, with something you're not embarrassed to send.
£600
£300 to book. £300 when you're happy, before it goes live.
For when you want people searching in your town to land on you.
What I can't do: promise you the top of Google, or promise leads. Nobody honest can. What I can do is make sure you're there properly when somebody looks.
05 / How it works
Ten minutes on the phone. Tell me what you do, where you work and what you charge, then send me photos off your phone.
I build your site and sort your Google listing. You look at it on your phone and send me one list of anything you want changing.
It goes live on your own domain. I show you how to send your review link and how to ask for changes.
Keep doing what works. But a lot of people search Google before they ring anyone, and plenty of them aren't on Facebook. A website and a proper Google listing mean they find you, see your work and your reviews, and ring you instead of the next name down.
Ten minutes on the phone and some photos of your work. I write the words. You check the facts are right before anything goes live.
The £300 one pager is paid when it goes live. The £600 job is £300 to book and the other £300 once you've seen the finished site and you're happy with it, before it goes live. Then £25 a month for hosting and care.
Gary's was live four days after I first got in touch. That was a quiet week, so it's not a promise. It mostly depends on how quickly I get your photos. I fit this around my day job, so I'll give you a real date before you book.
Hosting, security and your domain renewed every year. Small changes to what's already there, like prices, hours, photos or a new review, done within two working days, up to about 30 minutes a month. A new page or a redesign is a separate job, priced before I start.
Yes, it's yours. The domain is in your name. There's no contract, so you can cancel any time with a month's notice, and I'll hand everything over free.
No problem. I'll check your setup and use the domain you've got. I won't touch your email unless you ask me to.
Nobody honest can promise that. What I can do is get your Google listing set up properly, your website saying clearly what you do and where, and reviews coming in. That's what helps people near you find you.
07 / Right then
Send me what you do and where you work. I'll tell you straight whether a website is worth it for you, and what it would cost. No hard sell, and no charge for asking.
