Most trade enquiries go to whoever answers first. That single fact should shape the whole site: how fast it loads on a phone with poor signal, how quickly someone can call you, and how little you ask for before they do.

The homeowner with a leak has a list and works down it. The site’s job is to remove every second between landing and dialling — which usually means a call button in the sticky header on mobile and a phone number that is real text, not baked into an image.
A large share of trade traffic is mobile, often on a poor connection. Heavy sliders and uncompressed hero video are not a style choice there, they are lost jobs. We build light and test on a throttled connection.
Four pages with the town name swapped is a pattern Google discounts. A real area page says something true of that place — the housing stock, the common jobs, the neighbourhoods you actually cover. Where that cannot be written honestly, one page with anchored sections beats six thin ones.
Asking for a full address before you have earned it costs completions. Job type, rough location, a photo and a phone number is usually enough to start a conversation — and a photo upload cuts a whole round trip out of quoting.
For local trades, the map pack frequently outperforms the website for first contact. The site should feed it — consistent details, matching service names, review prompts — rather than compete with it.
Licence and insurance details, real job photography with before and after, and reviews shown near the quote button. Stock photography of someone else’s van is the fastest way to look like every other site they opened.

Sometimes not, and we will say so. If you get most of your work from the map pack and word of mouth, a tight five-page site plus a properly-run Google Business Profile will do more than a twenty-page build. Spend the difference on photography.
As many as you can write something genuinely different about, and no more. If you work across eight suburbs but the story is identical in all eight, one well-built coverage page with a section per area will outperform eight thin pages and carries no doorway-page risk.
Yes — email, SMS notification, or straight into whatever job management system you use. Given that speed to lead is the whole point, we would rather it lands somewhere you check within minutes than somewhere tidy.
It is the most common gap and the biggest single upgrade available to you. We will build with placeholders and give you a specific shot list — before and after pairs, work in progress, the van, you on site — that a phone camera can cover in a fortnight.
Yes. The design principles carry anywhere. What changes market to market is licensing display, insurance wording and how people search — and we will ask rather than assume.
Thirty minutes, your time zone. We will tell you honestly whether a rebuild is the right spend or whether fixing three things on the current site would do more.
