Based on BrightLocal and Google research on local business search behaviour.

The problem

Good work deserves a better first impression. A weak one is costing you calls.

Most good tradespeople already win work through reputation, referrals and word of mouth. But even a referral usually leads to a Google search.

Customers check your website, reviews, photos and contact details before they call. If what they find looks dated, incomplete or unclear, they may choose someone else who simply looks more established.

No proper website

Customers have nowhere clear to learn what you do, where you work or how to get in touch.

Research shows 70% of customers won't contact a local business that has no website.

Incomplete Google profile

Missing services, photos or descriptions can make good work look less established than it is.

Businesses with complete Google profiles get twice as many enquiries as those without.

Weak first impression

Strong reviews help, but your website and Google profile need to back them up.

Most tradespeople we work with see noticeably more enquiries within the first month.

Not sure where to start?

We'll review your online presence for free and point you in the right direction.

Send us your website, Google profile or business name. We'll take a quick look and tell you whether you need a new site, a Google profile tidy-up, or just a few simple fixes.

How it works

A clear process from first look to launch.

  1. 01

    Send us your link (it's free)

    Share your website, Google profile or business name. We'll review it and come back with honest feedback — no charge, no obligation.

  2. 02

    We review your first impression

    We look at your website, Google profile, reviews, photos and enquiry route.

  3. 03

    You get a free, clear recommendation

    We tell you what looks strong, what's missing and what we'd fix first. No invoice, no strings.

  4. 04

    We build and launch if there's a fit

    If you want help, we agree a fixed price, build the work and get it ready to use.

See it first

See your site before you spend a penny.

Most agencies ask you to commit before you've seen anything. We do it the other way round.

When you get in touch, we don't send a quote and disappear for three weeks. We build you a working draft — your business name, your services, your area — and send you the link. You open it on your phone, see your business on a proper website, and decide from there. No deposit. No commitment. If you don't like it, no hard feelings.

Built with your details

Your real business name, services, reviews and contact details — not a generic template with placeholder text.

Sent to you as a live preview

A working link you can open on your phone and share with anyone. Not a screenshot or a PDF.

You decide after you've seen it

The price is fixed and agreed upfront. But you only commit once you've seen the draft and you're happy with it.

Examples

Example sites we can build.

Every site is built around the same practical goal: make your business easier to trust, understand and contact.

Demo examples. Not real client sites.

No scripts. No incentives. Just honest feedback from people we've worked with.

"I'd been meaning to sort my website out for about two years. Ben sent me a working draft the same afternoon we spoke. I just said yes. The whole thing was live within a week."

"I didn't think I needed a website — I get most of my work through word of mouth. But since it went live, I've had three or four enquiries from people who found me on Google and said the site made them pick up the phone."

About us

Two mates. Twenty years in design. Now helping local trades look the part online.

We're Joel and Ben. We met at design college over 20 years ago and have been working in design, websites and branding ever since.

Over the years, we kept seeing the same thing: good local businesses doing proper work, but losing trust online because their website or Google profile did not match the quality of the job.

So we built Better Trade Sites. Simple websites. Better Google profiles. Clearer reviews. No jargon, no overcomplicated agency process, no endless meetings. Just a better first impression for tradespeople who already do good work.
