Hartley Plumbing & Heating
Built like site signage: hazard yellow, heavy condensed type and hard edges, with a live “engineer on call tonight” board so someone with a burst pipe knows a real person is on the way.
Websites for trades
For plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, builders, roofers, window fitters and engineering firms across the Midlands. Sites from £400, live in about a week, and a free mock-up of your homepage first.
Most people looking for a tradesperson are on a phone, often with a problem that needs sorting today. They give a site a few seconds to show three things: that you do the job, that you cover their area, and how to reach you.
I'm Matthew, a web designer and developer in the Midlands. I build fast, mobile-first sites with one clear next step, and you deal with me from first call to launch.
What your site needs to do
A tap-to-call and WhatsApp bar on every page on phones, so nobody has to hunt for a number or copy it out.
Someone with a leak and someone planning a new bathroom want different things. The homepage routes each of them to the right next step.
Your towns and postcodes in plain text, which reassures visitors and helps you show up in local searches.
Your accreditations (Gas Safe, NICEIC and so on, where you hold them), real job photos and your reviews, placed where people decide.
Postcode, type of job and an optional photo, so you can price it without three rounds of back-and-forth.
Concept work in this style
These are concept homepages for fictional businesses, so you can see the approach. Your free mock-up is built from your real business. See all six →

An engineering drawing as the homepage: grid paper, dimension lines and a title block holding the phone number. Buyers see precision before they see a price.
How it works
Most trades sites are a Starter (£400–£650, up to 5 pages, 5–7 days). Firms with lots of services or commercial work usually need a Pro (£700–£1,400). Full price list on the services page.
Send me your current site or a few lines about the business. Within 2 working days you get a mock-up of your new homepage.
We go through what you need, and you get a fixed quote within 24 hours.
50% deposit to start, then design sign-off, build and launch. Most Starter sites go live in about a week.
Questions
Word of mouth is great, but most people look you up before they call, even when a neighbour recommended you. A clear site turns that check into a call, instead of a reason to ring someone else.
Yes. I can show your Google, Checkatrade or Facebook reviews, using your real ones only.
Pro sites include a simple editor. On a Starter I can make small changes for you, or you can add a care plan from £100 a month.
