Great craft. Website stuck in the past?
Good work deserves a good website.
Get in touch — no strings attachedWhether it’s a joinery, an electrical business, or a plumbing company: your customers search on their phone today — “electrician near me”, “emergency heating repair Stuttgart”. Show up with a site from 2012 and no tappable phone number, and you lose the job to the business two streets over. Even though your work is often the better one — it just doesn’t show online.
A trades website needs to do three things. First, show what you’ve built, installed or renovated — with real reference photos instead of stock images. Second, make inquiries easy: a tappable phone number, a short inquiry form, and for emergency service, the number front and center instead of buried in the legal notice. Third, help with the skilled-labor shortage — an honest careers page often does more today than any job ad.
I’ve been building exactly these kinds of sites since 2016, for businesses in Stuttgart and the region from Esslingen to Böblingen: individually, no page builder, fast-loading even on a weak connection at the job site, low-barrier, and GDPR-friendly with no tracking cookies. You keep working — I take care of your online presence.
Sound familiar?
- The website still dates back to when today’s master craftsman was an apprentice — and it looks exactly like it.
- On mobile, you have to hunt for the phone number, and then it isn’t even tappable.
- Instead of real job-site photos, stock images show someone else’s hands in a spotless helmet.
- Search Google for “plumber Stuttgart” or “carpenter near me” and the competition shows up — not you.
What your new website will do
- You get found when someone searches for your trade — not only once they already know your company name.
- Inquiries come straight from mobile: tap the phone number or fill out a short form, done.
- Your reference projects sell for you — with real photos of your work instead of generic stock images.
- A careers page shows apprentices and tradespeople why it’s worth joining you.
Frequently asked questions
What does a website for my trades business cost?
That depends on scope: how many pages do you need, should there be a reference gallery, an inquiry form, a careers page? In a free initial conversation, we work out what your business really needs — after that you get a binding fixed price, with no hidden items.
I’m on job sites all day. How much time does this project cost me?
Very little. We talk once, calmly, about what the site should achieve. After that, I mainly need photos and a few facts about your business from you — I handle the rest. Coordination happens easily by phone or email.
We barely have usable photos of our projects. Is that a problem?
No. I’ll tell you which shots are worth taking and how to capture them on your phone — before-and-after works almost every time in the trades. The site launches with a few good images and grows with every project.
Does the website also help with finding apprentices and tradespeople?
Yes, if it honestly shows what it’s like working with you: team, workshop, real projects. A dedicated careers page with a short contact path lowers the barrier significantly — young people would rather apply with two taps on their phone than send a paper portfolio by mail.
