“I’m Just One Person – Do I Really Need a Website?”

If you're a plumber in Birmingham, an electrician in Wolverhampton, or a decorator in East London, you might think having a website isn’t necessary—especially if you get jobs through word-of-mouth or Facebook.

But here’s the reality:

Your next customer is Googling right now — and if you don’t show up, they’ll find someone who does.

The Problem With Relying on Social Media Alone

Many small service-based businesses rely on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Checkatrade to find jobs. But those platforms are crowded, competitive, and constantly changing their algorithms.

Plus, you’re renting space — you don’t own it. A website is your digital home, and it works 24/7 for your business. How I Use AI to Build You a Website Quickly and Affordably

I specialise in creating simple, clean, and effective websites for solo tradespeople and small businesses using modern AI design tools that cut down the cost and time.

Here’s what you get:

✅ A mobile-friendly website with your branding, contact info, and services ✅ Google Business Profile integration to help you rank locally ✅ Testimonials and image galleries of your work ✅ Booking/contact form connected to your phone or email ✅ Fast setup — often live in just 1 week ✅ Affordable monthly maintenance and updates How Much Does It Cost?

My pricing is transparent and flexible, with packages starting from just:

  • £1000 one-time setup for a simple 1 page site

  • £50/month for hosting, updates, and basic maintenance

  • Add-ons like contact forms, social media links, or image galleries available upon request

You won’t pay thousands like big agencies charge — I use smart tools and efficient workflows to keep it simple and affordable for tradespeople. Supporting Local Trades in London & The West Midlands

I’m based between London and the West Midlands, and I’ve worked with trades across:

  • Birmingham

  • Wolverhampton

  • Coventry

  • Walsall

  • London suburbs (Ealing, Croydon, Hackney, Enfield and more)

Whether you’re a self-employed plumber, mobile mechanic, decorator or tiler, I’ll build a website that works hard for you, even while you’re on the job.


Why a Website Is a Game-Changer for Tradespeople

Here’s what tradespeople have seen after getting online:

  • More enquiries from local customers via Google

  • Easier bookings thanks to contact forms

  • Greater trust and credibility ("They looked professional")

  • No more fighting for visibility on Facebook or Checkatrade
