The fault report
Run the same check on your site that you'd run on a boiler. Most trade sites fail on three points.
01
Slow to load on mobile
The average trade website takes 3 to 6 seconds to open on a phone. 80% of people searching for a plumber or electrician are on a phone, and most give up before second three. They don’t ring the slow site. They ring the next one down.
Average load 3–6s
This build <1s
02
Invisible in local search
No schema markup, no pages for the areas you cover. Google can’t tell it’s a trade business in your postcode, so it doesn’t show it to the people searching there. That’s how a firm two years old outranks one that’s been at it for twenty.
Schema markup Missing
Area pages Missing
03
Paying rent on your own leads
Checkatrade, Bark and MyBuilder charge £15 to £40 per lead, every lead, forever. The customer never becomes yours. The platform keeps the relationship and sells the same homeowner to the next trade tomorrow.
Cost per lead £15–40

What's included One tier, everyone gets it
What's on the job sheet.
Every build ships with the same kit. No tiers, no add-ons, no surprises at handover.
- — Mobile-first site, loads in under a second
- — Call and WhatsApp buttons that stay on screen as they scroll
- — Quote form that asks the right questions, so you're not ringing back tyre-kickers
- — Schema markup and a page for every area you cover
- — Google Business Profile synced to the site
- — Reviews wall, your Google, Trustpilot and Checkatrade reviews in one place
- — One service page per trade, per postcode served
- — Every enquiry lands in your email and your texts the moment it's sent
- — Need a price changed? Ask, and it's live the same day. No developer required.
Three live builds, no two alike
Same engine underneath, the one that loads in under a second and gets found locally. The brand, photos and words are built around each business, so a plumber in Leeds and an electrician in Kent will never look like they bought the same site.

Same proven system underneath every site. Pick a family that fits your brand, or I'll recommend one based on your trade, your customers, and the feel you want.
Founding 5, cohort not yet open
Nobody's built yet. That's the offer.
You'd be one of the first five. The price is £499 instead of £699 because you're helping prove the build, not because anyone's vouching for it yet.
What you can check instead of a testimonial: the three live demo builds below, the code they run on, and a 15-minute call before you pay anything. Setup is refundable until we kick off, if the demo doesn't convince you on the call, you owe nothing.
This section will carry real client results the day the first one lands. Until then, honest beats polished.
Side by side with Checkatrade ProSite.

The other leak
The site fixes how work comes in.
The site fixes how work comes in.
It won't fix the invoices nobody paid.
A fast site is one leak plugged. There's a bigger one most trades just live with.
Recent UK research found tradespeople are owed £5,901 on average in unpaid invoices. And 60% have written off money they earned because chasing it felt like too much hassle. That's finished work, given away.
I build software that chases unpaid invoices for you, politely and on a schedule, so you're not the one sending the awkward texts. It's built and live. I'm starting to offer it to trades now, which means nobody's on it yet. You'd be first there too, same as the site.
No form for this, no price on this page. If unpaid invoices are a sore point, just mention it when we talk.
Questions trades actually ask.
What if I don't like the design? +
We start from a brief, your colours, your photos, your style preferences. Day 4 is a full revision round. Tell me what to change, it's changed within 24 hours. If it still isn't right after that, I keep iterating until it is. I'm not in this to ship something you hate.
Do I actually own the website? +
Yes. The domain is registered in your name. The code is yours. The Google Business Profile is yours. The customer data and leads are yours. If you ever stop paying, you walk away with everything, site files included. Any other developer can pick it up and maintain it.
Can I cancel anytime? +
Yes. The £59 a month is rolling. Cancel with 30 days notice and you keep your site files, domain, and everything else. No 24-month contracts.
How will I rank on Google? +
Local SEO is built in from day one, schema markup that tells Google you're a plumber or electrician, area-specific service pages for every town you serve, and Google Business Profile sync. Most clients see organic traffic appear within 60 to 90 days. Add the £149 a month dedicated SEO service if you want it actively pushed.
What if I want to update something later? +
Two ways. Tell me, minor updates like a phone number, opening hours or a new service are included in the £59 a month. Or ask for it directly and it's live the same day, no developer needed. Either works.
My current site is on WordPress, Wix or Checkatrade. Can you migrate? +
Yes. Your old site stays untouched until launch day. Nothing gets broken that you didn't ask to change. On launch day your domain points to the new site and your reviews and Google profile carry over. You don't lose any rankings or trust signals.
Why £699? That feels low. +
Because most of the production work a traditional agency does by hand is automated here. A custom site at this quality usually costs £1,500 to £3,000. The founding-5 slots are £499 while the first spots are open, £699 after.
