Built for one trade
The layout, the wording and the enquiry route are shaped around how your trade actually wins work.
Hello, I’m Ben. I build websites for trades.
Pick the demo made for your trade and I will make it yours: your name, your colours, your photos, your number. Then I host it and look after it so you never have to think about it again.
Based in Olney, Milton Keynes, working with trades across the UK
From £39 a month, plus a one-off £199 to build it.
Why this exists
Built like an agency job. Priced nothing like one.
You either paid someone once, three years ago, and nothing has changed since. Or you are the one wrestling with a website builder at half nine at night instead of doing your invoices.
I take the technical side off your hands entirely, for one flat price with nothing hidden in it. You get a site built for your trade specifically, not a blank template with your logo dropped in. I host it, back it up, keep it secure, and change it when your work changes — so it stays reliable long after most agencies would have stopped answering the phone. You send photos; I do the rest.
- Cheaper than an agency, because there's no office or account manager to pay for
- More reliable, because backups and security are the job, not an afterthought
- Fully transparent, because the price you're quoted is the only price there is
Your next customer is on their phone, probably in a hurry. The site has one job: get them to ring you.
Demo sites
Every trade sells differently.
A plumber needs a number that never leaves the screen. A roofer needs their work photographed properly. Pick yours and see what changes.

How it works
Four steps. You do the easy one.
-
01
Pick your demo
Find your trade and look through the site. It is already laid out the way your customers expect.
-
02
Send your bits
Logo, colours, a handful of job photos, your number and area. Ten minutes on the phone if you would rather talk.
-
03
I build it
Usually inside a week. You see it first, tell me what to change, and it goes live on your domain.
-
04
I keep it running
Hosting, backups, security and monthly updates. New photos go up when you send them.
Phone first
Most of your customers find you outdoors on poor signal. That is the case the site is built for.
Enquiries you can read
They land in your inbox formatted so you can ring back without opening a laptop.
Hosting and SSL
UK hosting, the padlock in the address bar, domain pointed properly. Included.
Working with me
Anyone can be helpful before you have paid.
The service you are actually buying is the one you get eighteen months later, on the Tuesday your number changes and you need it right by lunchtime.
One person, one number, nothing to learn. You should never have to chase me, and you should never have to explain yourself twice.
-
The first message
Tell me your trade and where you work. You get an honest answer about whether a website will earn its keep for you, not a sales call.
-
Getting it built
One email with your logo, your photos and your number. No brief to write, no portal to log into, nothing typed in twice.
-
The day you want it changed
Message me and it is usually up the same day, at no extra cost. No ticket number, no change request form, no upgrade required.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Do I own the website?
You own your content, your photos, your domain and your enquiries. I keep the underlying template, the same way a builder keeps their tools. Leave and I hand your content over.
What if I stop paying?
Give 30 days notice and the site stays up while you move it or wind it down. Nothing gets switched off without warning and I will not hold your domain.
I already have a site. Can you take it over?
Usually. Most of the time rebuilding on a trade template is quicker than propping up whatever it currently runs on. I will tell you honestly which applies.
