Websites for trades and home services
For electricians, plumbers, builders and decorators who get work from word of mouth and want the rest of it too.
Websites built for tradespeople
Word of mouth is the best marketing there is, and it has a ceiling. It reaches the people who know someone you've worked for. Everyone else, the new estate, the family that just moved in, the landlord with six properties, types "electrician near me" into Google and rings whoever shows up.
For a trade, a website has one job: turn a search into a message. That means it has to say plainly what you do, which areas you cover, and show the proof: photos of finished jobs, your certifications, and what customers say about you.
We build sites for trades with exactly that structure. Each service gets its own section so Google matches you to the search, your coverage area is spelled out town by town, and a WhatsApp button means someone standing in a flooded kitchen can send you a photo of the problem in one tap.
Everything runs over WhatsApp around your jobs, no meetings, and your site is live in 7 days or less, from £249 as a one-off payment. Most go live within 48 hours.
What a trade website includes
- Each service spelled out on its own, so Google matches you to the exact search
- The areas you cover, listed town by town where search engines can read them
- A gallery of real jobs: before and after is the best salesman you have
- Your certifications and memberships (Gas Safe, NICEIC, Checkatrade) shown properly
- A WhatsApp button so customers can send you a photo of the job straight away
- Fast loading on a phone on mobile data, which is where every emergency search happens
A different kind of business? We also build websites for restaurants and cafés, health and wellbeing practices, gyms and personal trainers and local shops and retail, anywhere in the UK.

Why does it cost less than an agency?
It isn’t magic, and it isn’t templates. We use technology, including artificial intelligence, to automate the repetitive side of development. Fewer hours per project means faster delivery and a lower price, not lower quality: the design, the words and the strategy behind your site are always decided by a person who knows your business.

Frequently asked questions about websites
How much does a website for a tradesperson cost?
From £249 as a one-off payment, live in 7 days or less. The optional care plan at £19 a month covers hosting, your domain and updates: new photos, new areas, new services, sent over WhatsApp.
I get all my work from word of mouth. Why would I need a website?
Because word of mouth now ends with a search. When someone passes your name on, the first thing the new customer does is look you up. If nothing comes up, doubt creeps in and the recommendation loses half its power. A site confirms you're established, shows your work and makes you easy to contact.
Can it show my certifications and insurance?
Yes, and it should. Gas Safe registration, NICEIC approval, public liability insurance, trade body memberships: we display them clearly, because they're often the deciding factor between two quotes.
How much does a website cost?
The design and build of your website costs from £249 as a one-off payment, with an optional care plan at £19 a month covering hosting, your domain, updates and support on WhatsApp. The exact price depends on your project and we confirm it on WhatsApp, with no obligation.
How long does it take to build a website?
Fast: most sites are live within 48 hours of your first message, and never more than 7 days. Message us on WhatsApp any time and within 24 hours you'll have a proposal for your business, with no obligation.
Is the website mine?
Yes. The domain and the content are in your name from day one. We look after the site and keep it visible on Google, but it is always yours. If you ever decide to leave, you take your domain and your content with you, no problem.
Can I make changes to my site later?
Yes. You ask for changes on WhatsApp and we make them for you: prices, photos, opening hours, whatever you need. With the monthly care plan, content updates are included. You don't need to know anything about technology or touch a thing.
Will my site show up on Google?
Yes. Every site includes core SEO: fast loading, correct structure, metadata and the configuration Google needs to index your business. With the care plan, we keep working on your ranking over time.
What if I don't like the design?
We work on it until you do. You review the proposal, ask for any changes you like, and we only move forward when you're happy. If the first proposal doesn't convince you, you pay nothing.
What happens after I pay?
As soon as your payment comes through we message you on WhatsApp, the same day, to confirm the details. Then we finish your site with the design you approved and send you the link the moment it's live: most sites are published within 48 hours. From then on you have ongoing support on WhatsApp.
How do I pay?
You can pay online at jkrb.build/pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, processed securely by Revolut. Bank transfer works too if you prefer it. You can pay in one go, or 50% to start the project and 50% when your site is delivered.
Why does it cost less than an agency?
Because we work differently: no offices, no middlemen and no endless meetings. We also use technology, including artificial intelligence, to automate the repetitive side of development. Fewer hours per project means a lower price and faster delivery, not lower quality: the design and the strategy are always decided by a person who knows your business.
Do I need to be technical to have a website?
No. We take care of everything: design, development, domain and hosting. You just tell us about your business and we do the rest.
What does the website design include?
It includes a professional personalised design, a .co.uk domain, optimisation for Google (SEO) and for AI assistants (AIO), a WhatsApp button built in, a responsive design for mobile, and fast delivery: most sites live within 48 hours.
What does the monthly care plan include?
It includes hosting, your domain, an SSL security certificate, content changes and updates, support on WhatsApp, and the ongoing SEO and AIO work: staying visible on Google and in the answers ChatGPT and other AI assistants give. It costs £19 a month, or £190 a year if you'd rather pay once.
Can I cancel the care plan whenever I want?
Yes. There are no contracts and no minimum term. You can cancel the care plan whenever you like, with no penalties.
Will my website look good on phones?
Yes. Every site we build is responsive, which means it adapts automatically to phones, tablets and computers. Most of your customers will find you from their phone, so this is a priority.
Does my small business really need a website?
Yes. 80% of consumers look a business up on Google before visiting it. If your business doesn't appear, your potential customers will choose a competitor. A professional website builds trust and makes you visible.
What is SEO and why does it matter?
SEO stands for search engine optimisation. In plain terms: it's everything that makes your business show up when someone types "bakery in Salford" into Google, instead of only your competitors. It covers things like fast loading, a clear structure, and saying plainly what you do, where you are and how to contact you. It matters because almost every new customer will look you up on Google before getting in touch, and a business that doesn't appear doesn't exist.
What is AIO and why does it matter?
AIO stands for AI optimisation. More and more people no longer search on Google: they ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity directly, things like "who's a good electrician in Manchester?". AIO means publishing your site in a format those tools can read, understand and cite: well-organised information, direct answers and explicit permission to read it. It matters because if an AI can't find clear facts about your business, it simply recommends someone else. It's SEO for the way people search now.
Do you work with businesses anywhere in the UK?
Yes, we work with businesses across the whole of the UK. The entire process runs over WhatsApp, so it doesn't matter where your business is.
