Andrew Raeburn

Andrew Raeburn is a personal trainer and Pilates coach based in Scotland who runs wellness retreats in Portugal. He needed a professional platform that could handle both local personal training enquiries and retreat & event bookings. I built a site focused on clean UX and search engine optimisation (SEO) to ensure his services are easy to find and the customer journey is effortless from the first click.

Do tradespeople need a website?

Yes. 97% of people research a business online before making contact (Google, 2023). Most homeowners search online before they hire a tradesperson. When someone types “plumber near me,” “electrician Wirral,” or “builder Liverpool” into Google, they call whoever appears at the top. A tradesperson without a professional website is invisible to that search traffic.

A well-built trades website with local SEO means you show up for those searches, look credible before a customer has spoken to you, and give people a clear way to get in touch. 

Your tradespeople website will include:

Be built to convert

Designed to make it simple for customers to call, request a quote, or book a job. On any device, at any time.

Use the best website platform for tradespeople:

Most trades businesses need a WordPress website. If you sell products or materials online, Shopify may be the better fit. Not sure? We will tell you which platform suits your business on the discovery call and build it properly from there.

Local SEO for tradespeople

We handle your on-page SEO so you rank for searches like “plasterer near me,” “builder in Liverpool,” or “electrician Wirral.” We also optimise your Google Business Profile, so you appear in local map results.

Google Analytics 4

You will see exactly who visits your site and where they came from. You will know which channels bring in the most enquiries.

Have FAST loading times, & mobile responsive

Most people search for a tradesperson on their phone, often in a hurry. Nearly 53% of users leave a site that takes longer than three seconds to load. We make sure you never lose a lead with your site (Google, 2023).

We build websites for all trades, including plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, plasterers, scaffolding companies, joiners, tilers, painters and decorators, landscapers, gas engineers, heating engineers, handymen, and groundworkers. If you work in the trades and want more customers online, we can help.

Yes. Most homeowners search online before they call a tradesperson. They type “plumber near me” or “roofer Sheffield” into Google and ring whoever comes up first. Without a professional website, that work goes to a competitor who has one. A good trades website generates enquiries around the clock, even when you are on a job.

Yes, especially if you want work beyond word of mouth. Referrals are valuable but limited. A website with local SEO means new customers can find you through Google even if they have never heard of your name. It also makes you look more credible than a competitor with no online presence, which matters when someone is choosing between two tradespeople they do not know.

A trades website should include a clear list of your services and the areas you cover, a phone number and quote request form that are easy to find on mobile, a gallery of completed work, customer reviews, and any relevant accreditations such as Gas Safe or NICEIC. It needs on-page local SEO built in from the start so it ranks for searches in your area, and it needs to load fast on a phone since that is how most customers will find you.

Tradesman website costs at Xeon Creative start from £449. The final price depends on the number of pages, the features required, and how much content needs to be created. We give you a fixed quote before any work starts so there are no surprises. We also offer packages that include ongoing hosting, maintenance, and SEO.

For most tradespeople, WordPress is the best option. It is flexible, easy to manage, and performs well in Google searches when set up correctly. Wix and Squarespace are quick to launch but harder to optimise for local SEO and tend to look like templates. Shopify is the right choice only if you are selling products online. If you are unsure, we will tell you which platform fits your business before we start.

Yes. If your current site is not generating enquiries or is not showing up on Google, we can audit what is holding it back and either fix the issues or rebuild it from scratch. We will tell you honestly which option makes more sense for your situation.
