Websites for UK trades
Websites that win
trades more jobs.
Websites for plumbers, electricians, heating engineers, builders and roofers. Fixed build price, a clear monthly plan, and a free mock-up of your new site before you pay a penny.
Not just a build
We don't build your website and disappear. We look after it every month, and we report on the calls and enquiries it brings in.
The BARO difference: mock-up first
See your new website before you pay a penny.
Most agencies ask you to pay up front and hope you like the result. We design a mock-up of your new homepage first, for free. Then you decide.
- Free, with no obligation to buy
- A real design of your new homepage, not a sample
- Like it? Your build price stays fixed

What your trade website includes
Everything a trade site needs to win work.
Designed for your business
Built and written around your services, accreditations and the areas you cover. Not a template you fill in yourself.
Click-to-call everywhere
A call button and quote form on every page, so a customer on their phone can reach you in one tap.
Local SEO setup
Set up for "near me" searches, with your Google Business Profile set up or tidied up.
Service and area pages
A page for each service, and on Trade a page for each town you cover.
Mobile-first and fast
Most of your customers search on a phone, so we design for the phone first.
Hosting and security
Hosting, SSL, backups and updates handled for you on every monthly plan.
Monthly enquiries report
Every month you see the calls and quote requests your website brought in.
Yours to keep
Your domain stays in your name, and you own your design and copy once paid in full.
Pricing
Clear prices. No surprises.
Two parts: a fixed price to build your website, then a monthly plan to look after it. You can move up a plan at any time.

How we compare
Agency quality, without the agency price.
We are a young studio, so we keep our prices fair while we build our portfolio. You still get a site designed for you, not a template.

- 01 No middlemenGeorge and Toby design, build and look after every site themselves.
- 02 Plain EnglishNo jargon and no hidden costs. You know the price before you pay.
- 03 Straight talkingWe will tell you what is worth spending on, and what is not.

Straight answers.
How much does a trade website cost?
A 5-page Essentials site is £1,195 and a 10-page Trade site with area pages is £1,795, paid once. Then you choose a monthly plan: Care £59, Growth £99 or Local SEO £395 a month. There are no setup fees on top.
Is there a monthly fee?
Yes. Every site needs hosting, security and updates, so every site has a monthly plan from £59. It starts when your site goes live and is billed by direct debit.
Is there a contract?
Monthly plans have a 6-month minimum. After that they roll monthly and you can cancel any time. Many agencies ask for 12 months.
Will it get me more work?
Your site is built to turn local searches into calls and quote requests, and we report on those every month. We never promise rankings or results, because nobody honestly can.
Can I make changes myself?
Yes. It is a WordPress site and we show you how. Or just send us the change: every plan includes edits made for you each month.
What happens if I leave?
Your domain is in your name, and once you have paid for the build you own your design and copy. We will help you move your site to a new host.
Do you run Google Ads or Meta Ads?
Yes. Prices depend on your trade, area and budget, so contact us for a price.
