Crawford Software Works

Websites for Trades

Websites for trades with clear services, local trust signals, enquiry routes, project photos, reviews and simple maintenance options.

Focused small-business websites

Websites for Trades

This page is for joiners, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, builders, decorators, repair businesses and local contractors. Crawford Software Works can build a website that explains the service clearly, builds trust and gives visitors an easy route to enquire.

The focus is practical web design: a clear structure around the way customers actually choose and contact the business.

What can be included

Website, WordPress and custom build options

Depending on the business, the site can include service pages, quote request forms, project galleries, review highlights, local area pages, analytics and enquiry tracking. The first version can stay compact, with more advanced tools added only when there is a clear reason.

Service-area pages

Explain what you do, where you work and which jobs are a good fit.

Quote forms

Collect useful job details so enquiries arrive with more context.

Project proof

Show examples, reviews and maintenance options to build confidence.

Pricing position

Affordable small websites, with room to grow

Small-business websites can start from around £500 when the brief is compact and clear. WordPress can be a sensible lower-cost option for content, galleries and simple editing, while clean custom websites or PHP/MySQL systems are better when the site needs bespoke workflows.
