Web Design for Trades Businesses, Scotland
We build websites for trades & construction businesses
If you're a builder, landscaper, garage conversion specialist, or any other trades business, you need a website that does one thing well: brings in enquiries from local customers who are ready to hire. That's exactly what we build.
23 enquiries per month
A landscaper in Central Scotland went from 1–2 enquiries a month to 23 in a single month, and the results have kept growing.
20+ enquiries every month
A garage conversion company in Scotland went from 5 enquiries a month to consistently 20+ enquiries a month.
5-15 enquiries per month
A local builder in Scotland only has <40 website visitors per month, but receives between 5-15 enquiries every single month.
What’s going through your head
You don’t have time to be messed around by someone who talks in jargon, goes quiet for weeks, or hands over a site that looks nice but brings in nothing.
- Not sure what a website should cost, and don’t want to overpay
- Had a bad experience with a designer before
- Don’t want to be sold things you don’t need
- Need it to bring in real jobs, not just sit there looking pretty
- Worried it won’t show up when local customers search for you
Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

What we do and why you need it
We start with a conversation
We take time to understand your business, your customers, and the jobs you want to win, so we build the right site, not just any site.
We research your local competition
We look at how customers search for your services and what your competitors are doing, so your site is built to be found from day one.
We plan every page before we build
You know exactly what's going on each page and why — no surprises halfway through the project.
We design around your trade
A clean, professional design that reflects your business and builds trust with local customers. No bloated themes or cluttered layouts.
We build it on WordPress
Fast, SEO-friendly, and easy for you to manage yourself. You're never locked in or dependent on us to make basic changes.
You review it before it goes live
You get a full preview and we refine until everything is exactly right. Nothing launches until you're happy.
We check everything before launch
A full SEO check before go-live so there are no errors and your site is ready to be found on Google from day one.
We hand it over properly
You get a personalised video walkthrough so you can manage your own site with confidence. And we're here if you need us afterwards.
What affects the cost of your website?
Number of Pages
A typical trades site has 5-8 pages: Home, About, Individual Services, and Contact. `More pages mean more time planning, designing, and building.
Site Functionality
Most trades websites keep it simple. If you need extras: an online quote request system, a project gallery with filters, or a booking tool, these add to the scope and cost.
SEO Setup
Basic SEO is included as standard, so your site is built to be found from day one. If you want ongoing SEO support, additional location pages, or keyword-optimised content written for you, we can quote for that separately.
Content & Photography
We write all the content for your site, so you don't have to worry about it. If you have good photos of your work, we'll use them. If not, we can arrange photography. You'll always get the chance to review everything and suggest changes.
Speed & Security
All sites are built to load fast and stay secure. More complex sites with larger galleries or advanced functionality need additional performance work, which affects the overall price.
Ongoing Support
Some clients want a handover and that's it. Others want monthly updates, someone to call when something needs changing, or ongoing SEO monitoring. We tailor this to what suits your business.
What are the ongoing costs after your website goes live?
Once your website is live, there are a few ongoing costs to be aware of. None of them are surprises — here’s exactly what to expect.
Web Hosting
Your website will be hosted on our own fast UK-based cloud servers, kept secure, updated, and backed up regularly. Use our hosting calculator to find the right package for your website.
Local SEO
A well-built website gets you found from day one. If you want to push further up Google for competitive local search terms, such as "builder in [town]," "landscaper near me", ongoing SEO support can make a significant difference. Our trades clients have seen consistent enquiry growth month after month as a result. We can quote for this separately.
Website Updates
As a trades business, keeping your website fresh with new project photos, case studies, and updated services helps both your Google ranking and the trust of new visitors. You can send us photos and text and we'll update it for you, or we can train you to do it yourself. Update packages start from £50 a month.
Ongoing Support
Once your website is live, we don't disappear. We offer a range of additional services to help your business grow: social media management, blog post writing, email marketing, photography, brochure design, and more. Get in touch to find out what would suit your business best.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my website take to build?
Most standard trades websites are live within 4–8 weeks. The timeline depends on the complexity of your website and how quickly we can gather the information we need from you. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We provide full training and a personalised handover video so you feel confident making changes yourself. If you'd rather just send us updates and let us handle it, we offer affordable monthly update packages from £50 a month.
Will my website show up in Google?
Every website we build is set up with SEO best practices from day one — so you're not starting from zero. Our trades clients regularly appear on the first page of Google for their local search terms. If you want to push further up the rankings over time, we can quote for ongoing SEO support.
Who writes the content for my website?
We do. We write all the content for your website, so you don't have to worry about it. You'll get the chance to review everything and suggest changes before anything goes live.
Will my website be hosted and do I need a domain?
Yes to both. Most of our clients host their websites on our own fast UK-based cloud servers. We can also register your domain or help with the setup if you already own one. Hosting includes regular backups, security updates, and monthly support.
Is ongoing SEO included with my website?
Basic SEO is included as standard. Your website is built to be found from day one. If you want ongoing SEO support such as keyword tracking, local search optimisation, or additional location pages, we can quote for that separately
Will my website work on my customers' phones?
Yes. All our websites are fully responsive and work smoothly on phones, tablets, and desktops. For trades businesses, this matters. Most local customers searching for a builder or landscaper are on their phone.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. We regularly work with trades businesses who have a website that isn't performing, bringing in no enquiries, looking outdated, or just not showing up in Google. We can redesign and rebuild it properly.
What if I'm not sure what my website needs yet?
No problem. Get in touch and we'll have a straightforward conversation about your business and what you're trying to achieve. No jargon, no pressure, just honest advice on the best approach for you.
Common concerns about your new website
I don’t have any content yet
We write everything for you, all the copy, all the page content. Just tell us about your business and we'll handle the rest. You review it before anything goes live.
I don't want my website to look like every other trades website
Every website we build is custom-designed around your business. No generic templates, no copy-paste layouts. Something that reflects your work and stands out to local customers.
What if I need changes after my website goes live?
No problem. You can manage basic changes yourself using our handover video. For anything else, send it to us and we'll sort it. Update packages start from £50 a month if you want regular support.
I don't want to be tied into a long contract
You won't be. We work on a project basis with a straight upfront price. No long-term commitment unless you choose to add ongoing support, and that's always your call.
I've been let down by web designers before
We hear this a lot. Clear timelines, a straight price from the start, regular updates throughout, and a finished website that actually does something for your business. No going quiet, no nasty surprises.
I need my website live quickly
Most standard trades websites are live within 4 to 8 weeks. If you're on a tight timeline, get in touch and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable and how we can make it work.
I already have a website. Do I really need a new one?
Maybe not. We'll take an honest look at what you have and tell you straight, whether it needs a full rebuild or just some targeted improvements to start bringing in more enquiries.
I'm worried it'll cost too much
Most trades websites are priced between £1,200 and £3,500. You'll get a clear quote upfront with no hidden costs. If it's not the right fit for your budget, we'll tell you honestly.
I'm not very technical
You don't need to be. We handle everything, write all the content, and give you a personalised video walkthrough so you can manage the basics yourself with confidence.
Will my website actually bring me more enquiries?
We'll let the results speak. A landscaper went from 2 enquiries a month to 23. A garage conversion company went from 5 to consistently 8 to 23 a month over 18 months. A local builder converts up to 1 in 4 visitors into an enquiry.
Went from 1 enquiry a month to consistently 4 to 6 a month after launch.
