Websites built around how your trade actually works.
A plumber, a guesthouse and an attorney need different things from a website: different rules, different questions from customers, different proof. Each page below is written around one industry, and every rule or figure on it links to its source and shows when we last checked it.
Start with yours.
We add an industry only when we can back its page with checked sources. If yours is not here yet, message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Attorneys and law firms
A firm's website counts as publicity under the profession's code of conduct, and the responsibility for it stays with the practitioner. A good attorney website builds trust and generates enquiries without a single sentence that the Legal Practice Council could object to.
Caterers and food businesses
People hiring a caterer for a function, a year-end or a funeral want two things before they ask about price: proof that the food is handled properly, and a quick way to say how many people and when. A good caterer's website answers both without a phone call.
Building contractors
Before a property manager, site agent or procurement officer rings a building firm, they look it up. A contractor website's job is to survive that look: a real company, real projects, a registration they can verify, and a quick way to ask for a quote.
Electricians
Electrical work carries a legal paper trail, and customers who have been through a property sale or an insurance claim know it. A good electrician website makes that trail easy to see: who is registered, what certificate you issue, and how to get a quote without a string of phone calls.
Guesthouses and B&Bs
Booking platforms are good at being found and costly at being kept. A guesthouse website's job is to take people who already know your name, from a referral, a Facebook post or a previous stay, and turn them into direct bookings that carry no commission.
Plumbers
A plumber's website has one job. When a pipe bursts at nine at night, the homeowner should be able to find you, trust you and ring you in a few seconds. Everything else on the page is there to support that.
