Cheap websites for tradesmen
Cheap websites for tradesmen, built before you pay.
A proper website for your trade business for £199, not £199 a month. We build it from your Google listing first, you look at it on your phone, and you only pay if you want to keep it. No VAT on top, no deposit and no contract.
What £199 gets you
Cheap on price, not on the website.
A page for every service and area
A page for every service you offer and for the areas you cover, your Google reviews on every page, and call and WhatsApp buttons so customers can reach you in one tap.
The siteYour own domain, in your name
Your own domain and 12 months of hosting and security are included. The domain is yours: if it isn't already in your name, we'll transfer it to you for free.
DomainHelp getting found on Google
Every site is set up for Google and AI search, and we help you set up or tidy your Google Business Profile as part of the price. What's included.
Google£50 a year from year two
Hosting, domain renewal, security, backups, small text changes and new photos of your work. About £4 a month, paid once a year, and only if you want to keep it online.
Renewal£399 over five years
That's everything for five years: £199 in year one, then £50 a year. No VAT is added, and there's no contract at any point.
TotalHow we keep the price down
Most of what you pay a web designer for is their time: site visits, meetings, writing the words and chasing you for photos. We cut that out.
- We start from your Google listing. Your services, reviews, area and contact details are already there, so we don't need a meeting to get going.
- We only build for trades. We know what a plumber's or a roofer's customers look for, so we're not starting from a blank page each time.
- No sales team and no monthly plan. We don't need to tie you into a contract to make the price work.
The result is a site that's built in days, not weeks. Your first preview arrives within 24 hours of asking.
Cheap website options for tradesmen, compared
| Option | What you pay | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|
| Hi-Vis Web | £199 once, then £50 a year. £299 over three years, £399 over five | We build it. You spend about 15 minutes checking it and sending photos |
| Pay-monthly web design | £1,080 to £2,850 over three years for the four plans we checked | They build it, but the payments never stop |
| DIY website builder | A monthly or yearly plan, and the price often goes up at renewal | You write, design and set up everything yourself |
Pay-monthly figures are from the providers' own pricing pages, listed on our no monthly fees page. For DIY builders, see our Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and Hostinger comparison. For firms that also build before you pay, see the table on our pricing page.
What a cheap website still needs to do
A low price is only a good deal if the site actually brings in work. Whoever you choose, check it has:
- A page for each service, so you can show up when someone searches for that job, not just your business name.
- Your number one tap away on every page, plus a quick quote form.
- Your reviews, because customers check them before they ring.
- A domain in your name, so you can take it with you if you ever leave.
- No long contract, and no fee to take your site elsewhere.
Every Hi-Vis Web site has all five. Our website checklist for tradespeople goes into more detail.
How it works: we build your site from your Google listing, send you a link to look at it on your phone, and you only pay if you want to keep it. The four steps in full.

Questions
Questions about our cheap websites.
Why is it so cheap?
We build every site from what's already on your Google listing, only for trades, with no site visits, meetings or sales team. That keeps our costs low, so we don't need to charge monthly.
Is there VAT on top?
No. £199 is the full price, and £50 a year from year two is the full renewal. No VAT is added.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. You see the finished site before you pay anything. If you don't want it, you don't pay. If you do, it's £199, then £50 a year from year two only if you want us to keep it online.
How quickly can I see my website?
Your first preview arrives within 24 hours of asking. Once you've paid, we swap in your photos and make up to two rounds of changes.
Can I move my website later?
Yes, free of charge. We'll send you the website files and transfer your domain into your name or to your new provider. There's no exit fee.
Will a cheap website get me to the top of Google?
No one can honestly promise that. What we do is set your site up properly for Google, with a page per service and the details Google reads, and help with your Google Business Profile, which is what puts you on Google Maps.
