Websites for plumbers, electricians and builders

Website for tradesmen, coded for your trade, from €1

I build websites for tradesmen, coded by hand for one trade and one area, with no template and no page builder, and I sell them on a monthly plan. The Essential plan is €1 at the order then €39 a month, and it covers the site, hosting, daily backups, security monitoring and every text or photo change you ask for. The Visibility plan is €1 at the order then €79 a month, and it adds four pages and four articles a month written for Google and for AI search engines. The domain is registered in your name and the code belongs to you from day one, with a twelve month commitment and then cancellation any month.

What does a tradesman need from a website?

A tradesman needs a website that makes the phone ring, and everything else on the site serves that one job. On a phone, your number has to sit in the first screen without scrolling, and one tap has to start the call, because a homeowner with a leak or a boiler that stopped in January doesn't fill in a form, they call the first number that looks trustworthy. In that same first screen, your trade and the towns you cover have to be readable in a second, next to a photo of you on a real job rather than a stock picture your competitors also use. I build every tradesman's home page around those elements, in that order.

One page per service and one page per town is the structure that lets a tradesman show up for the precise searches his customers type. A plumber doesn't have one "plumbing" page but one for blocked drains, one for leak detection, one for hot water cylinder replacement, and each one explains what you do, how a visit goes and what lead time to expect. Alongside those, every town or district you drive to gets its own page, with the jobs you do most there and a realistic travel time. This takes more pages than a single page site, and writing those pages every month is exactly what the Visibility plan does for you.

Photos of your finished jobs and reviews from your customers do the convincing that no paragraph can, because a homeowner wants to see a rewired consumer unit or a finished bathroom before calling. So I plan a gallery per type of work, fed by the photos you take on site, and I show your Google reviews on the site. In France, the trade federation CAPEB explains that the Pinel law of 2014 requires building trades to state their professional insurance on every quote and invoice, and the ecology ministry states that MaPrimeRénov', the interest free eco loan and the energy saving certificates require an RGE contractor. Those mentions on the site reassure people before the first call.

A short quote form, your opening hours and one clear line about emergencies complete what a customer expects from a tradesman's website. The form asks for the type of job, the town, a phone number and a photo if the customer has one, and I add no other field, because every extra field loses a request. The hours say when you answer the phone and when you're on site, and if you take night or weekend call outs, the home page says so in one sentence with the number to use. Every request lands in your inbox, with no software to install and no account to open with a third party.

How do your customers search for you on Google?

Your customers type your trade followed by the name of their town, and very often the word "emergency" in front of it. Someone in Lyon types "plumber Lyon" or "emergency boiler repair Villeurbanne", and Google answers first with a map and a short list of business profiles, then with pages from websites. To appear in both blocks you need a well kept Google Business Profile and a site where one page answers that exact search, with the trade and the town in its title. A single page site, however pretty, can't answer thirty different searches.

The Google profile and the website pass customers to each other. The profile gives your number, hours, reviews and photos straight on the map, and the website receives the people who want to know more before calling, which is most of them once the job is bigger than a dripping tap. I wrote a guide on setting up and maintaining a Google Business Profile for a local business, and another on how a local website ranks in its own town. The Visibility plan looks after the profile every month, with new photos, replies to reviews and updated services.

AI search engines such as ChatGPT or Perplexity change the picture a little, because they answer full questions like "which plumber works on Sundays in Lyon" by citing pages that clearly describe a service, an area and opening hours. The pages I write in the Visibility plan are built for that kind of reading, with a direct answer at the top of the page, structured data these engines can parse, and links between your service pages and your town pages. You have nothing to do on your side except tell me when you add a service or a town.

Why does a monthly plan suit a trade business?

A monthly plan suits a trade business because nobody on a building site has time to maintain a website, and everything the site needs is covered by the price. Hosting, daily backups, security monitoring, technical updates and the monthly traffic report run without you thinking about them, and when a text or a photo has to change, you send me a message and the change is live within 48 working hours. You never get the call from a customer telling you your site is down, and you have no admin password to remember, because there is no admin interface at all.

A trade business also needs changes fast, more often than an office based company does. You add electric vehicle charger installation to your services, you stop covering a town that is too far, you close for three weeks in August, you change the emergency number, and each time the site has to follow within the week rather than wait for the next agency quote. On the Essential plan those text and image changes are included, and only a completely new page gets a small quote. On the Visibility plan, a new town or a new service simply goes into the four pages written that month.

The site belongs to you, unlike a rented one. The pricing page at WebGazelle states that the site only belongs to the client at the end of the commitment. With me, the domain is in your name, the code is yours from day one, and a full export is free within fifteen days. No finance company or lease sits behind the plan, and the first year total, €469 excluding tax on Essential or €949 on Visibility, sits at the top of every quote. The €40 a month between the plans pays for the local pages a tradesman never writes, the detail is on the pricing page, and the page on affordable websites that still hold up explains what Essential covers.

06 The price

Why this price does not lower the quality

The price comes from how the site is built and maintained, not from a sacrifice on the design or the code.

A site designed and coded, not a template

No purchased theme, no page builder. The layout, the copy and the code are written for your business, after research on what your competitors do and on what your customers type into Google. Two clients never receive the same site.

Performance and security are measured

Before going live, every site passes a check on speed, accessibility and technical SEO, and it does not ship until the score is where it should be. A fast, clean site costs less to host and maintain, and that saving is in the price.

Automation pays the difference

Hosting, backups, monitoring and the monthly report are automated, and I have spent sixteen years building this kind of tooling. Human time goes to the design, the copy and your change requests, not to the repetitive tasks others bill you for every month.

No financing, no hidden clause

You pay €1 or €1 at the order, then a monthly plan for twelve months, with no credit company and no lease contract. The first year total sits at the top of the quote, and the domain and the code stay yours, with an export of the site within 15 days on request.

What does the website of a plumber, an electrician or a painter look like?

For a plumber and heating engineer, the site is organised around a home page with the emergency number, then one page per intervention. Leak detection, blocked drains, hot water cylinder replacement, boiler installation and servicing, bathroom renovation, each gets a page with how the visit goes, photos and the reviews that concern that type of job. Then come the area pages, one per district and one per neighbouring town you agree to drive to, with the usual lead time. One page presents the company, the insurance cover and the gas qualifications, and another receives quote requests. The dedicated page on website creation for plumbers walks through this structure service by service. If your customers are in the capital, the page on building a website in Paris goes further into local search habits there.

For an electrician, the logic is the same with different services, set out in full on the dedicated website creation for electricians page. The home page leads with call outs and compliance work, then each service has a page, from consumer unit replacement to charger installation, full rewiring of a flat and home automation. The area pages follow the districts, because someone in Paris searches "electrician Paris 11" rather than "electrician Paris". One page gathers the compliance certificates your customers ask for when they sell or insure a property, with plain explanations of what each document covers, because people often discover they need one only when a notary or an insurer asks for it.

For a painter or a joiner, before and after photos carry the site. The home page shows three or four recent jobs, then the service pages separate what people don't search for in the same way, for example interior painting, exterior render, wooden flooring or fitted wardrobes. Each page holds its own gallery, a lead time range and the questions customers always ask, such as drying time or the choice of timber. The town pages stay, because a joiner in Montreux doesn't work in the same villages as a joiner in Annecy. A mason follows the same logic, with a facade renovation shown before and after and ten year structural insurance put up front on the dedicated website creation for masons page. A roofer works the same way, a renovated roof shown before and after and the same structural insurance put up front on the dedicated website creation for roofers page. If you'd rather talk it through first, you can send me a message with your trade and your area and I'll reply with a page plan.

Questions about websites for tradesmen

How much does a website for tradesmen cost?

On the Essential plan, the site costs €1 at the order then €39 a month, which is €469 excluding tax for the first year, with hosting, backups, security and your text and photo changes included. On the Visibility plan it is €1 at the order then €79 a month, €949 for the first year, with four pages and four articles written every month.

Do I own the site or am I renting it?

You own it from day one. The domain name is registered in your name, the code belongs to you, and you can ask for a full export of the site within fifteen days, free, even during the commitment. There is no finance company and no lease behind the plan, which pays for the build, the hosting and the upkeep, never a loan.

How long before my tradesman website is online?

Usually less than 48 hours from the order. I first deliver a complete version to review, with your texts, your photos and your service pages, then I apply your corrections, and the site goes live once you approve it. The timing mostly depends on how fast you review the draft and send me your job photos.

Who writes the text on my website?

I write it after a conversation with you about your services, your areas and how you work, then you read it and correct anything that doesn't sound like you. On the Visibility plan I carry on every month with four pages and four articles based on verified searches, for example an area page or a page on one precise service, and you approve each one before it goes live.

How do I stop the plan after twelve months?

You send me a message with one month's notice and the plan ends at the close of the following month, with no fee. Before it ends I hand you the full export of the site, and you keep the domain name, which is already in your name. You can then host the site elsewhere or give it to another developer, since the code is yours.

I already have a Google profile, is a website for tradesmen still useful?

Yes, because the profile and the website answer two different moments. The profile gives your number and your reviews to someone who wants to call right now, while the website convinces the person comparing several tradesmen for a bigger job, with photos, explanations and one page per service. The two reinforce each other, the profile links to the site and the site shows your reviews.
