Website guide
What your websiteactually needs.
Before you spend anything, it helps to know what a tradesman website really needs. The usual pages, what to gather, the extras that change the price, and how the process works.
The pages most small businesses need
- Home
- Your trade, your town and your phone number — all in the first screen.
- Services
- One section per job type, like boiler installs or rewires, so customers find what they need.
- Areas covered
- List the towns and postcodes you work in. It helps customers and local search.
- Our work
- Photos of real jobs, before and after. Never stock photos passed off as your own.
- Contact & quotes
- Click-to-call, a short quote form and your hours. Make it easy on a phone.
Requirements checklist
Gather what you can before you enquire. Missing items can slow the first draft.
Ticks stay on this page only — nothing is saved or sent.
Optional features that change the scope
Online booking
Usually means connecting a booking tool — confirm whether it's included in your quote.
Lots of service or area pages
Exact page allowances depend on the plan and quote — ask before assuming.
Third-party integrations
Job management software, CRMs or calendars aren't assumed to be included.
Online payments
Taking deposits or payments online adds scope. Expect a bespoke conversation.

Questions
Is the website free?
No. Your website is designed and run as part of a paid monthly subscription. What you avoid is a separate standard setup fee. The initial consultation is free.
Who builds my trade website?
RapidWebsite. Website Tradesmen is a Rapid Websites brand; you send your enquiry here, and the quote, payment, account and service are handled by RapidWebsite.
Can I show photos of my jobs?
Yes. Send photos of work you've done and we'll put them in a gallery. Only use photos you took or have permission to use.
How long does it take?
The first draft is estimated at 3–5 working days once your intake is complete and you've sent your logo, photos and details. It's an estimate, not a guarantee.
Will this get me to the top of Google?
Nobody can honestly promise rankings. A clear, fast site that lists your trade and the areas you cover helps, but results depend on many things outside a website's design.
Can I cancel?
The service is a monthly rolling subscription. Cancellation and refund conditions are set out in RapidWebsite's terms and refund policy — please read those before you sign up.
