Tradesmen web design for sole traders, built by one too.
A site that makes a one-person business look as capable as it is, without pretending to be a company.
Quick facts
Sole traders: the short answer
- A website for your business costs £350 all in, with no per-page charges.
- That covers design, build, your domain name, a business email address, SSL and the first three months of hosting.
- After that, hosting, updates and support are £19.99 a month, with no minimum term.
- Your site goes live within 48 hours of you approving the design. Payment is a 50% deposit to start, balance on completion.

Before you buy anywhere
Five things to check
- 1.Is the domain registered in your name, or the designer's?
- 2.Is business email included, or an extra monthly cost?
- 3.Is there a per-page charge or a setup fee on top?
- 4.Is there a minimum contract before you can leave?
- 5.Can you see real websites they have built for businesses like yours?
Tradesmen web design for a sole trader should show your services, your own job photos and how to reach you, without pretending you run a larger company. Sole traders get pushed into two bad choices: a site that pretends to be a twenty-person firm, or no site at all because the quotes were absurd.
There is a third option. £350 all in for a proper site that says exactly what you do and who you are, then £19.99 a month. I run a one-person business too, so the schedule fits around actual work.
What works for one person
Tradesmen web design: show the person behind the work.
Be the person, not the 'we'
For a sole trader, tradesmen web design starts with who does the work and which jobs you take on. Customers choosing a sole trader are choosing you. Your name, your face and your years of experience do more work than corporate wording.
Your own photos
Pictures of your own jobs beat stock images by a mile, and cost nothing but a phone camera.
One number, answered
Tap-to-call and WhatsApp up front, so a customer can reach you between jobs instead of filling in a form.
Honest availability
Saying what your hours are and how quickly you reply stops the wrong calls and reassures the right ones.
Practical bits
The things sole traders actually ask about.
Fixed price, no retainer
£350 all in, then £19.99 a month. No agency retainer and no minimum term.
Half up front
50% deposit to start, balance on completion, so the money follows the work.
Changes without an invoice
Price changes, a new service, different photos — part of the monthly support.
Evenings and weekends
The studio answers 08:00–20:00 every day on 07999 090582, which is when self-employed people are free.
