Websites For Electricians, Plumbers And Trades
A finished one page website for your trade, on your own domain, with an enquiry form and booking requests that land in your inbox. You fill in a short form and we generate it, host it and run it. It is Valacia Business at £19 a month, and you can buy it today.
Websites For Tradespeople Who Need To Be Found
If you run a van, a diary and a mobile number, this page is written for you. The job a website has to do for a trade is narrow and it is not glamorous: be findable when somebody searches for what you actually do, say plainly what you take on, and give them a way to get hold of you that does not depend on catching you at the top of a ladder.
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Heating And Gas Engineers
- Roofers
- Landscapers And Gardeners
- Cleaners
- Locksmiths
- Joiners
- Plasterers
One well-made page covers what a customer checks before they ring you. You fill in the form once, Valacia™ generates the finished site, and we host it and run it for you on Google Cloud. You never touch a template editor. If you would rather read this written for your own patch, our website design by location pages cover the UK county by county.
It is deliberately a small product, and that is the point. If you already have something that runs your jobs, your staff and your invoices, this does not replace it - and we say exactly where it stops, further down this page, before you have paid us anything.

The technical SEO every builder makes you remember is included with the plan and handled by us. It is a build standard; where you rank is a separate question, and nobody controls it. Business is £19 a month, or £190 a year. Starter is free on a Valacia subdomain, and Pro is £9 a month if you want your own domain without the booking system - see Valacia pricing for the full breakdown.
What This Does Not Do Yet
A one page website is not a trade management system, and we would rather you read this before you pay than after. Valacia Business has none of the following:
- No Job Management
- No Team Scheduling
- No Invoicing Or Quoting Documents
- No CRM Or Customer Database
- No Payments, Deposits Or Card Taking
- No SMS Reminders
- No Calendar Sync
- No Staff Management
- One Page, Not A Multi-Page Website
If you need those, Valacia is not the right tool and we will tell you so rather than sell you it.
What It Costs Against What You Already Pay
Most trades already pay something every month for the phone to ring.
This is a different way to spend part of it: a site you own, on a domain in your own name, with the enquiry coming straight to you and nobody taking a cut of the job at the other end. It is £19 a month, there is no setup fee, and the figure shown is the total payable.
It is also worth doing the sum properly rather than in your head. A built-for-you website is a one-off cost with a monthly plan behind it; this is a monthly cost with nothing up front. Which one is cheaper depends entirely on how long you keep it, so our cost calculator lets you run that sum over three years yourself.
Questions Trades Actually Ask
Do I Need A Website If I Am On A Lead Platform
They do different jobs, and the honest answer is that plenty of trades run both. A lead platform sends you work on its terms and owns the relationship, the reviews and the pricing that sit around it. A site on your own domain is what somebody finds when they search your name after a neighbour recommends you, and it is what you point at from a van, a card or a written quote. What we will not do is tell you to cancel something that is currently paying for itself.
Which Plan Do I Need As A Sole Trader
Start free if you only want to be online today - Starter is a live one page site on a Valacia subdomain, carrying a small Powered By Valacia badge. Pro at £9 a month moves it onto your own domain, removes the badge and adds contact and enquiry forms. Business at £19 a month is the plan this page is about: it adds the native booking system with email confirmations and a priority enquiry inbox. You can start free and move up when it is worth it.
Can I Change My Wording And Images Later
Yes - nothing is locked in at sign-up. Valacia is a generator rather than an editor you have to learn, and both paid plans include priority managed updates, so keeping your wording and your pictures current is part of what you already pay for rather than a separate job with a separate invoice.
Will This Get Me To The Top Of Google
No, and nobody can promise it. Every Valacia site ships with the technical groundwork - correct metadata, a canonical URL, a sitemap and structured data, on a fast, static-first site hosted on Google Cloud. That groundwork is a standard we can be held to. A position on Google is outside anyone's control, so a builder guaranteeing you one is selling something they cannot deliver.
Will The Price Go Up After I Sign Up
Not for at least twelve months. The price of an active plan is held for twelve months from the day you sign up, and any increase after that takes thirty days' written notice by email, so you can cancel before it takes effect at no charge. Published prices may change for new customers. The authoritative wording is in the Valacia terms.
