Websites for plumbers, roofers, painters and trades

Trades websites do not need to be big. They need to load fast on a phone, show you are legitimate, and make calling you the obvious next step. Everything else is decoration.

What a site for plumbers, roofers, painters and other trades needs

The phone number as a button, top and bottom

And a short form for people who would rather not call.

Services with plain names

Drain cleaning, hot water tanks, re-roofing, interior painting. Use the words your customers use.

Licence, insurance, WCB

One line each. Homeowners check.

Service area by town

It helps customers and it helps Google.

Before-and-after photos

Trades have the easiest photos in the world to make look good. Use them.

Getting found on Google

Trade searches are almost all "[trade] [town]". Your page title should be exactly that. Add a Google Business Profile, ask five happy customers for a review, and you will outrank the franchise with the bigger budget in most Canadian towns.

What it costs

Starter is $500 once and $100 a year: a hand-built one-page site at yourname.ourhub.ca with a contact form, hosting, SSL and two content updates a month. Complete is $1,000 and $240 a year and adds your own domain, custom email, an editor you can use yourself, and the Google setup. Three to five business days from your answers to a preview.
