Squarespace website design for trades that wins the job before the first visit.
A trust-building site with real photos of your work, the areas you cover, your certifications and reviews — and a quote flow that answers while competitors’ phones ring out.
What it is
Squarespace website design for trades and home services is the custom design of a fast, trustworthy Squarespace site built around a trade business — its work, its areas and its reviews — that wins a homeowner’s confidence in seconds and makes requesting a quote effortless.

conversion rates on the websites & campaigns we run
We don’t borrow our proof. These are real results from the businesses we’ve designed and marketed — not stock figures. The ~6,000 enquiries and 5,030 lifetime conversions (to June 2026, for clients including CityLaundryApp, shared with permission) come from the Squarespace sites we build and the campaigns we run; 9–17% is the conversion range those sites and campaigns achieve. Trades are their own discipline — local service businesses like Eddy’s Dry Cleaners below live in the same trust-led space — and your results will differ; we scope honestly before any work begins.
Why it matters now
Your work is excellent. Your website is what most customers judge it by.
A homeowner choosing a tradesperson is choosing who to let into their house — and with good trades booked out weeks ahead, they shortlist fast, on the website. They look for signals: real photos of finished jobs, the areas you cover, certifications, reviews from people like them. When a first-class electrician or carpenter has no site — or a page that hasn’t changed since 2015 — the job quietly goes to the firm that simply looks established.
No site, or a site that says 2015
Most trades run on word of mouth and a Facebook page — which works until a bigger job needs checking out. A dated or missing site costs you exactly the premium work you want.
Great work nobody can see
Your finished jobs are your best salesman, but they live in your camera roll. Without real photos and reviews on the site, every competitor with a gallery beats you to the shortlist.
Quotes that go to voicemail
A homeowner with a leak or a project wants an answer today. If reaching you means a mobile that rings out on a job, the work goes to the firm with a form that responds.
What we build
A trades website that shows the standard of your work — and wins the quote.
Not a generic template with your logo dropped in. We give your trade business a trust-first structure: real photos of your work doing the selling, services and areas set out clearly, certifications and reviews as proof, and a quote flow that captures the job while you’re on the tools.
Established, trustworthy design
A clean, solid site that signals reliability and craftsmanship — so you read as the established firm, not a name from a directory.
Your work as the proof
Galleries of real finished jobs — kitchens, rewires, bathrooms, extensions — laid out to do the selling before you ever visit.
Quote requests that capture the job
A form that takes the details in one pass — job type, photos, postcode — so you can price fast and reply from the van.
Certifications & guarantees up front
NICEIC, Gas Safe, insurance and guarantees where homeowners look for them — the checks that make you the safe choice.
Areas & services, crystal clear
What you do and where you cover, set out so the right jobs self-select and time-wasting enquiries filter themselves out.
SEO + local
Clean structure and local SEO so you rank for “electrician in [town]” and “emergency plumber near me” — the searches that become booked jobs.
What we build
What a great trades website gets right.
Strategy, mobile polish and SEO foundations — set up to turn visitors into new clients.
Strategy before styling. Structure and messaging built around how your clients actually decide.
Polished on every screen. Refined layout and typography, built for the phone most visitors use.
Found by the right people. SEO foundations so the right clients find you and turn into new clients.
Redesign & moving to Squarespace
Already have a site that undersells your work? We’ll redesign it.
Most trades we talk to don’t need more qualifications — they need a website that carries the reputation they’ve already built. A dated site, or none at all, quietly costs the bigger jobs: the rewires, the renovations, the commercial contracts where homeowners and managers check you out properly first.
So we redesign it properly. We rebuild on Squarespace 7.1, make the design solid and professional, bring your work and your quote flow to the front, and preserve your rankings with proper 301 redirects — the same clean migration we run for every business we move.
Established design
We swap the dated look for a solid, professional site that matches the standard of your work within seconds.
Work & quoting, restructured
Your galleries, certifications and a fast quote flow brought to the front, so trust builds fast and jobs get booked.
Migration, done right
Moving from WordPress, Wix or a custom build? We rebuild cleanly and preserve your rankings with 301 redirects.

A site that ranks for the searches that win jobs.
The most solid site in the world is wasted if nobody finds it. We build SEO in from day one — so you show up when someone searches “electrician in [town]” or “kitchen fitter near me” — and when you want the diary fuller, the same in-house team can run Google Ads against your most valuable searches.
Local & niche SEO
We target the searches that book — “electrician in [town]”, “emergency plumber [area]” — with clean structure, area pages and a Google Business Profile that backs it up.
Content that builds authority
Service and area pages that answer what homeowners actually search — costs, how long jobs take, what certification means — so you rank, and read as the established firm.
Ads when you’re ready
Once the site converts, the same in-house team can run Google Ads for emergency work, a new service or a wider area — campaigns and tracking handled end to end.
How we work
One designer, end to end — from first call to a site that wins jobs.
You work directly with the person designing and building your site — no account managers, no handoffs, no offshore team. It keeps the work sharp and the decisions fast. Here is how a trades project runs.
Step 01
Discovery & strategy
We start with a call about your trade, your best jobs and the work you want more of — domestic, renovation, commercial. We look at your current site or page, your photos and your competitors, and the searches that should bring you work, then map the message, pages and quote flow around them.
Step 02
Design
We design your key pages in your look and feel, leading with your strongest finished jobs. You see the design early and shape it across two revision rounds, so the site feels right before a single page is built.
Step 03
Build & migrate
We build it on Squarespace 7.1, set out your services and areas, build your galleries, wire up the quote form, and optimise every page for speed and local SEO. Moving from an old site or builder? We rebuild cleanly and set up 301 redirects to protect your rankings.
Step 04
Launch & rank
We launch, submit your site to Google, and make sure the SEO foundations are live so you start ranking for the searches that win jobs. You can update it yourself — add new job photos from your phone — and a Care Plan is there if you’d rather we keep it running.
Clear, upfront pricing
Transparent prices — no “request a quote” runaround.

Trades website FAQs
The questions tradespeople ask us.
Yes. For most electricians, plumbers, carpenters and home-services firms, Squarespace hits the sweet spot of professionalism, speed and control. It looks established without a developer, shows your work in proper galleries, takes quote requests with job details and photos, and ranks well in local search. You get a site that matches your workmanship — and you can add new job photos yourself, straight from your phone.
At SQSP, a trades website starts at £1,495 for a clean Essential build, with Signature from £2,250 and Growth from £4,950 for larger firms with area pages and deeper SEO. Scoped and quoted upfront — the way you’d quote a job.
For small jobs, maybe not. For the work you actually want — renovations, rewires, extensions, commercial contracts — yes. Bigger jobs get checked out before the call: your photos, your reviews, your certifications. A proper site is what turns a recommendation into a booked survey, and with the UK trade shortage, most competitors’ sites are weak — which is your opening.
Yes — and it saves everyone time. We build a quote form that captures the job in one pass: what needs doing, photos, postcode and timing. You price faster, from the van if you like, and the customer gets an answer today — which is usually what wins the job.
Prominently. NICEIC, Gas Safe, TrustMark, insurance and guarantees are exactly what homeowners scan for, so we place them where they build confidence — near the quote form and in the footer of every page — alongside your reviews and finished work.
That’s what we build it to do. We set up clean structure, service and area pages, location signals and a Google Business Profile so you can rank for “[trade] in [town]” searches. Local trade searches are winnable fast because most competing sites are thin — and Google Ads can fill the gap while rankings build.
