WE DESIGN TRADE WEBSITES

Good question.

Once you book and provide us with any required content (like your logo or list of services etc – the stuff that we don’t know about your business), we can get a good trade website designed quite quickly. Don’t be fooled into thinking that it takes days and weeks to design a website – it doesn’t.

One person designed THIS website in one day!

You’ll pay us to host your site – £21.99+VAT per month. The more websites we design, the more hosting we provide. That’s good enough for us! It’s the same business model companies like GoDaddy, Fasthosts and Ionos use with their website builders too. It’s nothing new.

We get to help small businesses to thrive too which can only be a good thing in the UK right now!

It’s far more likely that you will want us to help you with other things like SEO, graphic design, social media and other things too. It’s a win-win solution!

Yes.

We will host your trade website for you on our Google Cloud based, super fast, super reliable servers.

We host all Trade Sites that we build so that we can manage them for you effectively. That is why you pay your annual hosting fee to us: it covers your site being live and our services to manage it for you and make amendments.

That’s correct information! If you want to spend time building a trade website on any of these platforms then go for it.

Consider this though:

1. You’ll have to spend time designing it and getting it right
2. You’ll need to be able to connect it to your domain name with DNS Nameservers, set up your email with MX records and ensure you’ve added DKIM, DMARC and SPF records too.
3. You’ll need to fix your site if something goes wrong with it or if you mess up the layout or design
4. You’ll need to make sure it is updated regularly (plugins, themes and content).
5. It’s likely your site will be hosted on a basic shared server which isn’t ideal.

We cover all of the above within our hosting package! Depending on which platform you choose you might even end up paying more for your hosting too.

With us you have:

• Professionally built website
• Hosted on secure, Google Cloud based servers
• Managed by us – if your site goes wrong, we fix it.
• You’ll get an amendment allowance once the site is live too – included in your hosting.
• Updating and maintenance of all plugins and themes

Seriously, we couldn’t make this choice any easier for you if we tried!

2 reasons:

1. In my illustrious list of careers so far, I have worked in drainage, gardening and groundworking. I know how hard tradespeople work. You guys are like me – you don’t want to be a ‘jack of all trades and master of none’. So, like you, I am focusing on just trade websites as I can relate to them
2. Trade websites tend to be simpler in functionality and layout than other industries. This means that they do not take as long to design and produce and therefore they fit well to the Trade Sites business model. 

Once you’ve paid in advance for the first year of hosting and provided us with any logos, text or images that need to be used, we will have your trade website ready to go live within 2 weeks or sooner. This is dependant on current workload and required changes of course. Your website will be designed by hand so we do like to take the time to make sure it represents your business.

We do.

The free trade website is our no. 1 priority right now but there are other considerations for any website. So we do offer standalone projects (no contracts here) that will help your websites to get seen.

We can help you with:

• SEO (search engine optimisation – getting seen online)
• AIO (Ai Overviews – love it or hate it: Ai is here to stay and over 60% of website searches now end up with an Ai answer without even a website click)
• Graphic Design – vehicle signage, business cards, clothing, posters, flyers. You name it, we can design it
• Content Creation – being an industry expert can really help you get found online. We can create content and landing pages to make this happen
• Google Business – you’ve probably got this set up already to show people who and where you are and to collect reviews. If not, we can set it up for you.

No there is not.

There is no need for a contract.

Each month you pay £21.99+VAT and the website remains live.

If you don’t need your Trade Site any more, just let us know and it can be taken offline. There is no need to give any notice.

Yes you do.

A domain name is not included in this package. They’re not expensive though. Usually around £20 per year. 

We can help you to purchase a domain name or you can purchase it yourself. Either way, you will 100% own the domain name moving forward. 

Yes. Our hosting and management package is £21.99+VAT payable by direct debit.

Simple!
