Web design for tradespeople

Professional websites for trades businesses

Show what your business can do – with reference projects, clearly described services and an enquiry process that also works on a smartphone.

Anyone looking for an electrician, carpenter or roofer usually looks at a few websites before picking up the phone. We build you a website that clearly shows your service area, your services and your work – and turns visitors into the right enquiries.

Typical challenges in the trades

Full order books are good – but then the business's own website is often left untouched for years. Services are missing, photos are out of date, and on a smartphone the phone number is hard to find.

At the same time, many businesses are looking for skilled workers and apprentices, want the right enquiries rather than as many as possible, and want to be found in their service area – not 200 kilometres away.

  • Enquiries without location, measurements or photos
  • Services incomplete online
  • Reference projects only on social media
  • Service area unclear
  • No time to maintain the website
  • Jobs and apprenticeships hard to find

What a website for tradespeople should do

The building blocks depend on your trade: an electrician emphasises different services than a landscaper. The structure behind them is similar – and proven.

Pages for each trade

Separate pages for your most important services – such as electrical installation and solar PV for an electrician, bathroom renovation and heating for a plumber, or roof renovation for a roofer.

  • Clear language instead of jargon
  • Process and typical questions
  • Enquiry button on every page

Reference projects

Before-and-after photos and short project descriptions show quality better than any advertising claim – ideal for carpenters, painters, roofers and landscapers.

  • Photo gallery for each project
  • Task, solution, materials
  • Location and time frame if you wish

Enquiries with substance

A form that asks for the key details straight away: type of work, location and preferred time frame.

  • Fewer follow-up calls
  • Phone and WhatsApp with a single tap
  • Clear responsibility within the business

Be found locally

Location, service area and services presented so that search engines can link them to your region.

  • Separate page titles for each service
  • Service area and directions
  • Aligned with your Google Business Profile

Careers & apprenticeships

A dedicated page for job vacancies and apprenticeships – with a contact person and an easy way to apply.

  • Vacancies clearly in one place
  • A look at the team and daily work
  • Apply by form, email or WhatsApp

Mobile and fast

Many customers open your website on the go. That is why we design for the smartphone first.

  • Tap-to-call phone number and address
  • Optimised images for short loading times
  • Responsive design for all devices

What you get out of it

A good website for tradespeople works in the background: it answers questions customers would otherwise ask on the phone, shows your work and pre-sorts enquiries.

You decide which jobs you want to win through the website – we align content and form accordingly.

  • More suitable enquiries from your region
  • Less time spent on standard questions
  • A professional first impression
  • All references in one place
  • Support with recruiting
  • Your own channel alongside referral platforms

How we work together

1. Initial consultation: free and without obligation – by phone, video, email or WhatsApp. We clarify what your website should achieve, what content already exists and which package fits.

2. Written quote: with a fixed price and a clearly described scope. You can review it conveniently online and sign it digitally.

3. Build: design, copy, technology and search engine fundamentals. We incorporate your feedback in rounds of revisions (PREMIUM: up to two, PROFESSIONAL: three).

4. Launch: on your domain, with SSL encryption and technically integrated legal notice and privacy pages.

5. Afterwards: hosting & support at a fixed monthly price if you wish – or you run the website with your own provider.

We know you are in the workshop or on site during the day. That is why we hold the initial consultation in whatever way suits you – and you can simply send us photos of your projects by email or WhatsApp.

Dansk Cottage Digital is run by Arndt and Jan Floto from Hamburg. We conceived, wrote, designed and built the multilingual website of our holiday home Dansk Cottage ourselves – it is our most important reference project. More about us

Transparent prices

For a business with a few core services, BASIC with a home page and up to five content pages can be enough. If you want to show several trades, reference projects and a careers page, PREMIUM (up to ten pages) is the better fit.
