Do I really need a website if I'm on Facebook?

Facebook alone won't help you to stand out from your competition.

Websites and social media have their own strengths and can complement each other. If you specialise in specific services, your website could list them in ways which Facebook is not designed for.

Your website will allow you to have specific pages dedicated to each service, and those pages could show a portfolio of work in these areas. They can also be used to provide evidence of any specific qualifications you have, and answers to frequently asked questions.

If you still have doubts, this article on having a website and a Facebook page may be worth spending a few minutes reading.

Can I build my own website?

A perfectly understandable question.

A lot of people build their own websites, just like many people attempt their own electrical or plumbing work.

Sometimes it will work out okay, but sometimes they'll need to call on the experts to put things right, or to pick up on the project when it gets beyond their capabilities.

But as a tradesperson you would probably agree that the value your clients get from the work you do saves them considerable time and effort by them not having to become experts in your field.

We cover all bases of creating your website

Our job is to provide the expertise and do all the heavy lifting in our field so you can focus on doing the same for your clients. And we'll be here each step of the way to discuss plans and progress, asking for your thoughts on certain aspects of your new website, and to answer any questions you might have.

That's one area where we can add value, but also remember that the actual website is just part of the plan.

Being found is essential to online success

Success with search engines

Being found is crucial, especially for trades websites. So your SEO efforts are important, and those efforts should start right at the beginning with the content and structure of your new website, not just at the end when you're ready to go live.

One of the main objectives would be that if you're an electrician you might specialise in domestic or commercial electrical work, or your main business could be in the installation of EV charging points, carrying out EICRs or installing garden lighting. So we would want to make sure that your website gets listed in search results for anyone searching for your specific services in the areas that you cover.
