Most trade businesses are not short of work. They are short of time for everything that sits beside the job site. 94 per cent (Bitkom) of German trade businesses now run a website of their own — but it was often built ten years ago, is barely usable on a phone, and nobody in the company knows who could change it. This page sets out what we offer, what it costs and in which order it makes sense. You do not have to book all of it at once, and you do not have to be able to do any of it yourself.
From the first call to ongoing support
Twelve services, one contact person
The overview below is not a shopping list, it is a sequence. If you have no web presence at all, you start with the website. If yours is ten years old, you start with the relaunch. If you have both and still get hardly any enquiries, the problem is usually visibility rather than design. Behind every entry in the four areas sits its own page with scope, process and price; every amount together is listed on the prices page.
Four areas, twelve services
Pick an area to see what sits behind it. Every service can be booked on its own or as part of a wider project.
Website for tradespeople
The complete presence for a business that has none yet: home, services, references, team and contact, from 1,490 euros net at a fixed price. Details on the websites for tradespeople page.
Having a website built
What you need to supply, what we take on, and where projects usually get stuck. The route from the first call to going live is on the have a trade website built page.
A homepage for the business
The small presence for firms that only need a handful of pages: who we are, what we do, how to reach us. Scope and limits on the tradesperson homepage page.
Web design for the trades
Large type, calm colours, a phone number you can see: design that still works on a phone in job-site daylight. More on the trade web design page.
Design examples
Before you decide, you can see what such a presence looks like — home page, service page, contact page. The samples are on the design examples page.
Relaunching an existing site
Keep the old site but build it again: carry the content over, redirect the old addresses, leave the domain and the email untouched. From 2,900 euros net, see trade website relaunch.
SEO for tradespeople
So that your business shows up for searches combining trade and town, rather than on page three. Ongoing support from 490 euros per month, cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month. More on the SEO for tradespeople page.
Business profile and map listing
Opening hours, service area, photos and reviews in the map panel. 72 per cent (Bitkom) of trade businesses see online customer reviews as a major opportunity to win new work. From 290 euros per month, cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month, see Google business profile.
Photos of your own work
A presence showing real projects convinces differently from one built on bought imagery. How we take and prepare photos is on the photos for trade websites page.
Maintenance and support
Updates, backups, availability and small changes through the year, from 49 euros per month, cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month. Hosting in Germany from 15 euros per month. Details on the maintenance and support page.
Recruiting staff
75 per cent (Bitkom) of trade businesses see the shortage of skilled workers as a central problem. A careers page with photos from the yard and a short application form is the simplest place to start, see recruiting staff.
Builder or agency
An honest comparison of when building it yourself pays off and when it does not — including the costs of a website builder that only show up later. On the builder versus agency page.
Where a trade website usually falls down
Three things decide whether a website brings enquiries or merely exists: the price it is built under, the photos it shows, and the question of who still looks after it a year later. That is where most web presences fail — not on the choice of colour. Which is why, with us, all three are part of the project rather than optional extras.
Two things we handle differently
A fixed price before the project starts, not open-ended hourly billing
A quote with an hourly rate and an estimated effort is uncomfortable for a business with forty people and impossible to plan for one with four. So the price is in the quote before the first working day: the website at a fixed price from 1,490 euros net, the relaunch of an existing site from 2,900 euros net. What is included is listed line by line in the quote — and so is what is not. If a wish comes up during the project that goes beyond the agreed scope, you get a separate quote for it before anyone starts work. The full comparison is on the builder versus agency page.
- Scope and amount are fixed in writing before the start
- Extra wishes get their own quote, never a quiet add-on invoice
- Monthly services are cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month, no minimum term
- All amounts net plus VAT
Your own photos instead of stock imagery
A bought shot of a roof job in Canada says nothing about your business, and most customers notice. So we come out for a session at your premises and to two or three properties that have been cleared for it, and photograph finished work, the workshop, the vehicles and the people who do the work. This photo session on site has no price of its own; it is part of the project price. If you already have good phone photos, you can skip the session entirely; how we review and prepare existing material is on the photos for trade websites page.
- Shots at your premises and on cleared properties, no bought imagery
- The photo session is not a separate line, it is in the project price
- File sizes small enough for pages to load on a mobile connection
- Existing phone photos are reviewed and used where they hold up
How a project runs
The sequence is the same for every project, whether it is a small homepage or a full relaunch with a careers section. How long it takes depends above all on how quickly photos, details about your services and your feedback arrive — the work on our side is rarely the bottleneck. We only commit to a completion date once the scope is settled.
First call
Twenty minutes are usually enough: which trade, how many people, which service area, what the site should achieve. After that we know whether a homepage is enough or a larger presence makes sense. Free of charge and without obligation.
Quote with a fixed price
You receive a quote with the scope, the list of pages and the amount. The price applies to the described scope; monthly services are listed separately and are cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month. Work begins only once you say yes.
Visit to your premises
We come out, look at the workshop, the vehicles and one or two finished projects, and take the photographs. At the same time we agree which services deserve their own page and which towns in your service area should be named.
Build and review
We build the presence, write the copy per trade and location and place your photos. You see the site before it goes live, say what is wrong, and get the corrections back before anything is public.
Go-live and support
We switch over to your domain without your email addresses dropping out, submit the site to the search services and, on request, take on updates, backups and availability from 49 euros per month, cancelable with one month's notice to the end of the month.

Your trade has a page of its own
People search for an electrical contractor differently from a carpentry firm, and a roofing business needs different content from a tiler. So eight trades have their own page, with the services, the typical search terms and the content that convinces in that particular craft. An overview of all trades is on the industries page; examples of finished work sit under references.
Electrical contractors
Distribution boards, charging points, solar and inspections — web design for electrical contractors.
Plumbing and heating
Boiler replacement, bathrooms, servicing and call-outs — web design for plumbing and heating.
Roofing contractors
Pitched roofs, flat roofs, storm damage and scaffolding — web design for roofing contractors.
Painters and decorators
Interior painting, facades, plaster and floor coverings — web design for painters and decorators.
Joineries
Made-to-measure furniture, interior fit-out, windows and doors — web design for joineries.
Carpentry firms

Metalwork firms
Railings, gates, staircases and structural work — web design for metalwork firms.
Where we work
We are based in Söhlde, between Hildesheim and Salzgitter, and we travel out to the businesses we work for. That is deliberate: a photo session and a conversation about the service area work better at the kitchen table than over a video call. The towns nearby have their own pages with local detail, and an overview sits under regions. We also look after businesses outside that area; the photo session is then arranged individually.
