A website for electricians that shows you are registered.
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.
Good for
- Electricians and electrical contractors working from a Facebook page, directory listings or a free-subdomain site
- Solar and backup-power installers who are asked about certificates before the quote is accepted
- Contractors who want to explain the certificate of compliance once, on the site, instead of on every call
What a customer checks before booking an electrician.
Homeowners, landlords and estate agents ask these questions, often because a sale or a claim depends on the answer.
Are they a registered person?
The regulations say who may issue a certificate of compliance. If you are registered, your registration category and number sit near the top of the page. If you are not, the site never implies you are.
Will I get a certificate of compliance?
A short, plain explanation of when a certificate is needed and what you provide, so a customer knows what they are paying for before you arrive.
Do they cover my area and my type of job?
An honest list of the work you do and the places you travel to, such as fault finding, new installations, additions, solar or backup power. If you do not take a type of job, it is not listed.
Can I get a quote without a long call?
A form that asks for the type of job, the property and a photo description, plus a WhatsApp button, so your first reply can carry a price range.
The paperwork customers are asking about.
These points come from the Electrical Installation Regulations, 2009 as gazetted. This is background we have sourced for you, not legal advice. For your own obligations, check the current regulations with the Department of Employment and Labour.
The regulations require every user or lessor of an electrical installation to hold a valid certificate of compliance for that installation, accompanied by a test report. A customer who asks about it is asking about a legal duty, so your site should say plainly that you issue one.

A certificate of compliance is issued by a registered person, defined as someone registered as an electrical tester for single phase, an installation electrician or a master installation electrician. The certificate carries a unique number obtainable from the chief inspector or a person the chief inspector appoints. Showing your registration category is therefore showing the thing a customer needs.

Where an addition or alteration is made to an installation that already has a certificate, the regulations require a certificate for at least the addition or alteration. A page that explains this answers a question landlords and homeowners ask before adding a circuit or a solar system.

The regulations also bar the user or lessor from allowing a change of ownership if the certificate of compliance is older than two years, subject to the Act. Sellers and estate agents search for this, which makes it a useful page for an electrician to own.

What we would put on an electrician's site.
A registration strip
Your registration category and number, shown only if you hold them, so a customer sees the credential before the quote. We never publish a number we have not seen.
A plain-language certificate page
When a certificate is needed, what you provide with it, and how long it stays valid for a sale. Written in your voice and checked against the regulations with you.
One section per type of job
Fault finding, new installations and additions, and solar or backup power each get their own space with what you do and what the customer should have ready.
A quote request that carries the detail
Property type, job description and suburb in one short form, sent straight to your WhatsApp or email.
Photos of your own work
Board and installation photos with the client's permission. Nothing is staged and nothing is borrowed from other electricians.
Starting prices, upfront.
Most electricians want the quote-request version: the customer describes the job and the property type, and the request reaches your WhatsApp or email ready to price.
Hosting from R250 per month. Every price is flat and agreed in writing before work starts. Full pricing · How this compares with other quotes.

What electricians usually ask first.
Do electricians really need a website?
If customers look you up before they call, a site gives them your registration, your service area and a way to ask for a quote in one place. A directory listing cannot carry that, and it is not yours.
Should my registration number be on the website?
If you hold one, yes. It is the credential a certificate of compliance depends on. Do not show a number that is not yours or has lapsed, and we will not publish one we have not seen.
Can the site explain the certificate of compliance for me?
Yes. We write a short page in your voice, based on the regulations, covering when a certificate is needed and what you supply. You check it before it goes live, and it carries a note to confirm the current rules with the Department.
I do solar installations. Is that different?
The site can describe it separately so a solar customer finds the right page. We do not repeat claims about who may sign off solar work unless you can point to the rule, because commentary on that is mixed.
What does an electrician's website cost?
From R4,500 for a brochure site, or from R7,500 with a quote-request form, both flat and agreed in writing before work starts. Hosting is from R250 a month.
Websites for other trades.
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.
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.
Building contractors
Before a property manager, site agent or procurement officer rings a building firm, they look it up.
Guesthouses and B&Bs
Booking platforms are good at being found and costly at being kept.
Plumbers
A plumber's website has one job.
