Website for plumbers, electricians and tradespeople
Tell it what you do and where you work, and createforme builds the website in a few minutes: your number always under the thumb, your services, the areas you cover with arrival times, reviews from customers and a form to request a quote by sending photos of the problem. Someone with water on the floor doesn’t read: they need to find your number in a second.
Ferri Impianti
A sample website for a plumbing and electrical firm in Bergamo, Italy. Here’s what’s inside:
- “What’s the problem?”: pick the fault and the site tells you what to do before calling
- An “on call now” sign that changes with the time, and a Call button always under the thumb
- Areas covered with the arrival time for each
- Quote requests with up to four photos, and the firm’s certification written clearly
Names, photos and reviews in the example are made up. See it as it is (opens in a new tab).
What a plumber’s or electrician’s website needs
The number, straight away
People with a breakdown search on their phone and call the first one they find. Your number must be at the top, and a “Call” button must stay visible as they scroll.
Where you go, and how fast
“Do you cover…?” is the first question. A list of areas with arrival times answers it and brings the right calls.
Clear call-out prices
The biggest fear when calling a tradesperson is the bill. Stating your call-out charge and hourly rate, or at least “price agreed before we start”, gets you chosen.
Quotes with photos
A photo of the fuse box, the boiler or the leak is worth ten minutes on the phone: you understand the job and bring the right part first time.
Local reviews
For a tradesperson, trust comes from the neighbourhood. Reviews showing the customer’s area speak to the people who live there.
Ready to use, nothing to install
What to know before you publish
Registrations your customers look for
In the UK, anyone working on gas appliances must be on the Gas Safe Register, and notifiable electrical work is usually self-certified through a competent person scheme such as NICEIC or NAPIT. Show your numbers: it’s also the quickest way to be chosen by people who know to check.
Licence numbers in US adverts
In the US, contractor licensing is set by each state, and many — California among them — require your licence number in your advertising, website included. Check your state board’s rules.
Honest prices and real reviews
Reviews must come from real customers: fake ones are banned in the UK (DMCC Act 2024) and the US (FTC rule). Written prices — call-out, hourly rate, typical jobs — must be what you charge: a “from £60” that turns into £200 is a misleading practice.
This is general information, not legal advice: for your situation, ask a professional or your regulator.
How it works, in three steps
- Describe your business in the box above, typing or out loud, the way you would to a customer.
- Watch the site take shape in a few minutes, and edit it by clicking on what you want to change: text, photos, colours.
- Publish when it’s ready, with a paid plan: you can create and preview your first site for free.
Questions
Do customers’ photos reach me?
Yes: in the quote form the customer attaches photos, and the request reaches you with everything inside. You can also let people write to you directly on WhatsApp with a button.
Can I show that I’m available right now?
Yes: with the Toolkit’s opening hours, the site shows “open now” or “closed” on its own, changing with the time. For holidays, the top banner is enough.
I also do other work, like building or locksmithing. Does that work?
Yes: the request adapts to any trade. Describe what you do and where you work, and the site is built with your services.
How much does it cost?
You can create and preview your first site for free. To publish it you need a plan: with Starter, €22.90 a month, the site lives at an address like yourbusiness.createforme.io. Your own domain is included in the Agency plan.
