Last week I talked about Jana escaping Wix. A few people replied asking what other examples I had.
Fair question. So instead of describing more sites, here are four trade websites you can judge for yourself. Same £49/month. Same fast infrastructure. Different industries.
Four Sites. Live Now. Go Click Them.
Open any of them on your phone. Count how fast they load. Look at how they work on mobile. Then open your current website and compare.
That’s the pitch. Not words - evidence.
Why Templates Beat Custom Builds
“Custom website” sounds premium. In practice, it means waiting 8-12 weeks for a designer to reinvent the wheel, debating fonts for three rounds of revisions, and paying £3,000 for something that loads slower than these templates.
Here’s what actually matters for a trade website:
- Does it load fast? (Google cares, customers care)
- Does it look professional? (trust at first glance)
- Does it work on phones? (where most searches happen)
- Can people contact you easily? (the whole point)
These templates nail all four. The only “custom” work is YOUR branding, YOUR photos, YOUR contact details. That’s what makes it yours - not months of design debates about whether the header should be 80 or 85 pixels tall.
The 3-Day Reality
Here’s how it actually works:
Day 1: You send me your logo, photos, business details, and what you want the site to say. If you don’t have a logo, we can sort that. If your photos are rubbish phone shots, we work with what you’ve got and improve later.
Day 2: I customise the template with your branding and content. You get a preview link to review.
Day 3: We make any tweaks, connect your domain, and go live.
That’s it. No project kickoff meetings. No wireframe approval rounds. No “we’ll circle back next sprint.” You have a working website by the end of the week.
What’s Included (And What’s Not)
Included in £49/month:
- Template customised with your branding
- Your content and photos added
- Hosting on fast infrastructure (same as my site)
- SSL certificate (the padlock)
- Unlimited small updates (you email, I change)
- No contract, cancel anytime
Not included:
- E-commerce/online payments (Shopify is better for that)
- Ongoing SEO campaigns (separate service, starts at £169/month)
- Complex booking systems (depends on what you need)
- Logo design (£150 one-off if you need one)
The template gets you online and looking professional. Everything else is optional based on where you want to go next.
Who This Is Actually For
Tradespeople who need a website that works, not a website project.
Plumbers, electricians, landscapers, tilers, builders, plasterers, decorators, fencers, roofers, cleaners, gardeners. Anyone whose business runs on local reputation and word of mouth, but who’s losing work because competitors have better websites.
If you’re still relying on a Facebook page, a Yell listing from 2019, or a WordPress site your nephew built that takes 4 seconds to load - this fixes that.
The Offer
Pick a template. Be live by Friday.
Reply with “TRADE” and tell me:
- What trade are you in?
- Which template caught your eye (or describe what you’re looking for)?
- Do you have a logo and photos ready, or do you need help with those?
I’ll reply with an honest assessment. If one of these templates fits your trade, we can have you live within days. If your situation needs something different, I’ll tell you that instead.
£49/month. No setup fee. No contract.
The three sites above are the proof. Go click them.
