Why trade websites fail, in plain English
Most tradesman websites fail for one of two reasons. Either they were built years ago and load like it, or they look fine to a person but say nothing a machine can verify. When someone asks their phone for "a reliable electrician near me", the assistant answering has to find businesses whose services, coverage area and contact details it can read and trust. A site that buries those facts in images and vague copy gets skipped, however good it looks.
We build the opposite: a fast, sharp one-page site where every fact about your business is stated once, clearly, in a format both people and machines understand. That is the whole product. No padding, no upsells to page seven.
What your build includes
How it works
- Tell us the facts. Your trade, services, coverage area, hours, accreditations and photos if you have them. Ten minutes by email or phone.
- We build and verify. Your details are checked by hand, then built into a fast, machine-readable page. Typical turnaround is 48 hours.
- You approve, we launch. The site goes live on your .uk address with hosting included, submitted to Google, readable by AI assistants from day one.
The proof, not the promise
Run any website through our free AI visibility checker and you will see exactly what machines can and cannot read on it. Our own builds score 100 out of 100 on every check, including a recent electrician build that passes all five with a live llms.txt fact file. Scan your current site first if you want to see the gap for yourself; the report is free and takes about 30 seconds.
Questions tradespeople actually ask
How much does a tradesman website cost?
Quotes for trade websites typically run from £650 to £2,000 plus VAT, usually with a monthly maintenance fee on top. OneUp is £549 all in: the build, your .uk domain and 12 months of hosting, then £249 a year after that. No contracts.
Which website builder is best for tradesmen?
DIY builders work if you have the evenings to spare and know what Google and AI assistants need from a page. Most tradespeople do not, which is why half-finished builder sites are so common. We build it for you from the facts of your business, typically within 48 hours.
Is a website still worth it for a tradesman in 2026?
More than ever, but the job has changed. People increasingly ask Siri, ChatGPT or Gemini for a recommendation instead of scrolling search results. Those assistants can only recommend businesses whose details they can read and verify, so the value is no longer just looking good, it is being machine-readable. Read more on our AI SEO page.
Do I need SEO as well?
Every build ships with the technical layer done: structured data, an llms.txt fact file, crawler-friendly robots rules, clean titles and descriptions, and Lighthouse scores of 100. That covers the foundations most agencies charge extra for. Ongoing content and reviews are then yours to build, and we tell you honestly what is worth doing. If you only have one page, our guide to one page website SEO explains what a single page can and cannot rank for.
