Website vs Checkatrade, MyBuilder & Bark.
A website is a one-off cost you own. Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Bark charge you every month and sell the same lead to your competitors at the same time. Your own site ranks on Google for "plumber Newport" or "builder Cardiff", shows your gallery and reviews, and keeps 100% of every enquiry — no lead fees, no commission, no bidding war.
Here's the honest answer most trades land on: use both at first if you need the work, then drop the directories once your own site ranks. A directory rents you a spot on someone else's platform. A website is yours forever — and it works out cheaper inside the first year. Want it ranking properly? That's what our local SEO service is for.
Your own site vs a directory listing
- Own it outright. One payment from £899 — no monthly fee for as long as you trade.
- Keep 100% of the lead. No lead fees, no commission, no sharing the enquiry with three rivals.
- Rank on Google. Your site shows in search and AI answers, not buried in a directory's list.
- Build your brand. Your name, your gallery, your reviews — not Checkatrade's branding on your work.
Everything a Tradesman's Website Needs.
Not bells and whistles. The stuff that actually gets you phone calls and enquiries.
Contact Form
A proper enquiry form that emails you immediately. Customer fills it in, you get an email on your phone before you've put the kettle down. Auto-reply confirms receipt.
Service Area Pages
Dedicated pages for every area you cover. "Plumber Newport", "Builder Cardiff", "Electrician Cwmbran". Each one targets the local keywords people actually search for.
Work Gallery
Before and after photos. Finished projects. The kitchen you fitted last week. The extension you built last month. Nothing sells a tradesman better than showing the actual work.
Google Reviews
Your Google reviews displayed right on your website. Social proof that you do what you say you do. Potential customers see the stars before they even pick up the phone.
AI Chatbot
You're on a roof. You're under a sink. You can't answer the phone. The AI chatbot handles enquiries, answers common questions, and captures leads. You follow up when you're done.
Click-to-Call
Your phone number on every page, click-to-call on mobile. Someone finds you on Google, taps your number, job done. No hunting through pages to find contact details.

Questions From Tradesmen.
Is a website better than Checkatrade or MyBuilder for tradesmen?
A website is a one-off cost you own outright. Checkatrade, MyBuilder and Bark charge you every month and send the same lead to your competitors at the same time. Your own site ranks on Google for searches like "plumber Newport", shows your gallery and reviews, and keeps 100% of every enquiry -- no lead fees, no commission. Most trades use both at first, then drop the directories once their site ranks.
Do tradesmen need a website in 2026?
Yes. In 2026 most people find a tradesman by Googling "electrician near me" or asking AI tools like ChatGPT. If you have no website, you don't show up -- a Facebook page and a Checkatrade listing aren't enough. A proper website ranks on Google, works 24/7, and turns searches into phone calls while you're on the tools.
How much does a tradesman website cost?
Our tradesman websites start from £899 one-off. That gets you a proper 5-page site with contact form, service area pages, photo gallery, Google reviews integration, AI chatbot, full SEO, and hosting on Google's network. No monthly surprises -- just £29/mo for hosting and support after year one. Growth (online payments and Xero) is £1,899; a full shop is from £3,500.
Do I really need a website as a tradesman?
Your competitors have them. When someone searches "plumber Newport" or "builder Cardiff", the ones with websites show up and the ones without don't. A website works 24/7 -- taking enquiries while you're on a job, showing your work, and proving you're a legitimate business.
How do tradesmen get found locally on Google?
You get found by ranking for local search terms -- "plumber Newport", "roofer Cardiff", "electrician Cwmbran". Every site we build includes full SEO: structured data, local keywords, city-specific landing pages, a Google Business Profile setup, Google Search Console and sitemap submission. We're Newport-based and we know the South Wales market. See our SEO service for the detail.
What should a tradesman website include?
Contact form, service area pages, a gallery of previous work, Google reviews, clear pricing or quote request, and your phone number on every page with click-to-call. We include all of this as standard. No upsells.
Will my tradesman website work on mobile?
Yes -- every site is mobile-first with click-to-call. Most trade enquiries come from someone standing in their kitchen or garden tapping a phone, so the number is always one tap away and the site loads in under a second on Google Firebase.
Can you build a website for an emergency call-out trade?
Yes. For 24/7 plumbers, electricians and emergency call-out trades we put a big click-to-call button on every page, an "emergency" service section, and target urgent search terms like "emergency plumber Newport". The AI chatbot captures the job details if you can't pick up straight away.
Do you build websites for tradesmen outside South Wales?
We're Newport-based and most of our trade clients are across South Wales and Bristol, but we build for tradesmen anywhere in the UK. Everything is done remotely -- no site visits, no video calls -- so where you're based makes no difference to the build.
What do I need to send you to get started?
Four things: your logo, some photos of your work, a list of your services, and the areas you cover. That's it. Send those over and we'll have a site to show you within days -- usually live inside a week. No three-month timelines, no discovery workshops. Get in touch and we'll crack on.
