Most tradespeople get told they need a website and never get told what it costs, how long it takes, or what happens after it goes live. So here are the numbers, before you give me anything.
What a trade website in your area needs, what it costs to build and run, and what you can do this week for nothing.
He was working off word of mouth and a Facebook page. Not a bad business, just an invisible one. Anybody searching for a window cleaner in his area found somebody else, every time.
We built him a proper site and did the work to get it found. What surprised him was not the volume, it was the map. Enquiries started coming in from postcodes he had never picked up work in.
Word of mouth has a radius. A website does not. That is the whole difference, and it is why the area you cover matters more than most people think when they are working out whether it is worth it.

The pages and the content, in plain English. Not a features list. What a customer needs to see before they will ring you rather than the next one down.
The build, the hosting, and an honest read on what getting found would cost for your trade in your patch. Numbers, not ranges so wide they tell you nothing.
Including the part where it does not happen in week one. If the honest answer is that you will not see much until month three, that is what it will say.
There is almost always something you can set up this week for nothing that starts bringing work in before a site is anywhere near ready. That is the last section of your plan.
If you would sooner have a conversation than read an email, ring me. No script, no pitch. I will tell you straight whether a website is the right spend for you right now.
