The problem

Good work still needs to look credible online.

Most good tradespeople win work through reputation, referrals and word of mouth.

But even a referral usually leads to a Google search.

People check your reviews, your website, your photos and your 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 enquire.

Incomplete Google profile

Missing services, photos or descriptions can make a good business look less established.

Weak first impression

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

About us

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

Meet Joel and Ben

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.
