What should a trades business website include?
Trades customers usually want to know what you do, where you work, whether they can trust you and how to ask for a quote. The website should answer those questions quickly.

A trades website does not need to be complicated to be effective. It needs clear service information, visible contact routes and enough evidence to help a potential customer feel comfortable taking the next step.
The homepage should explain the main service and service area without forcing visitors to decode vague slogans. Separate service pages can then answer specific questions about what is included, who the service is for and how the process works.
Proof can include genuine project photography, clear examples of work, qualifications where relevant, customer reviews with permission and straightforward information about the business. Do not add badges, awards or claims that cannot be verified.
Mobile contact matters because many local searches happen when somebody is ready to call or send a quick enquiry. Phone links, forms and opening information should be easy to find and easy to use.
