Electrician website design: Nobody rings an electrician
on a whim.
Electrical work is mostly planned: a rewire, a consumer unit, an EV charger, a landlord certificate. People take their time, compare two or three, and check you are registered before they ring.

The job
That makes an electrician website a different job from a plumber’s. There is less urgency and more scrutiny, and the thing being checked is whether you are competent and registered.
So the accreditation goes where it can be seen rather than in the footer, the jobs you want more of get pages of their own, and the quote route is built for somebody who is comparing rather than panicking.
Website design for electricians: The whole list, nothing extra.
Every one of these is in the price. If a job needs something that is not here, it is in the written scope before you say yes, not on the invoice after.
Your registration, where it is read
NICEIC, NAPIT, Part P, with the number. Near the top rather than a logo in the footer, because it is the first thing anybody checks.
A page for the jobs worth having
Rewires, consumer units, EV chargers, EICRs. The ones you want more of, each searched differently and each worth its own page.
Landlord certificates, explained
Landlords have a legal duty and a date, and they search for exactly that. Explaining it plainly wins work from people who were going to ring whoever answered.
The areas you cover
Named towns rather than a radius on a map. Somebody booking a rewire wants to know you will come to their street before they read anything else about you.
Proof, from your own phone
Photographs of real boards and real installs, with what the job was. Your own work beats stock photography in every way that matters.
A quote route built for comparing
What, where and when, plus a number to ring back. Short enough to finish while they are still on your site rather than the next one.
Sitemap and page structure
What pages exist, how they relate, and what each one is for. This is where SEO is won or lost, before a line of code.
Design, if there is none
I will design it: a site that looks considered and does the job. If the brand underneath it needs doing too, that is its own piece of work and it has its own page.
Build
From your design or mine, on a platform that suits the team who will keep it running rather than the one I enjoy most.
Real content in
Your words and pictures loaded and laid out, not lorem ipsum with a note to fill it later. If an existing site is being replaced, moving it across is its own job: see website migration.
Accessibility and performance
Keyboard, focus order, contrast and labels checked, not assumed. Core Web Vitals measured on real pages, then fixed.
Launch and handover
A checklist worked through line by line, then documentation and a walkthrough with whoever picks it up.
Sounds like you if
“We have been quoted before and never seen what we were paying for.”
One page
A single scrolling page, £600. A launch, a test, or a business that needs to exist online by Friday.
Five pages
Home, about, services, one more, contact, £1,200. The standard small business site.
On WordPress
The same five pages on WordPress, £1,600. More to build, and more you can change yourself afterwards.
A shop
An online shop starts at £2,000: five content pages, up to twenty-five products, payments, shipping, tax and the policies.
Changes afterwards
£75 an hour, billed after they are done, or a monthly plan if there are enough of them to be worth fixing the price.
What is never extra
The sitemap, the redirects, the accessibility pass and the handover. They are part of the build, not a line added at the end.
Hosting and the certificate
A WordPress site on a managed host on my account, with the security certificate kept renewed, for £50 a month. The domain stays registered in your name.
Updated every month
WordPress, the theme and the plugins brought up to date, then the pages that matter checked by hand.
A backup every day
A fresh backup every day, and another before any update runs, so any change can be undone.
Changes when you need them
A reply within twelve working hours saying what it needs and how long it will take, before any of it is started. £75 an hour, or on a plan.
The note on the 1st
What was updated, what was changed and how many hours were used, next to the invoice.
Leaving, and what you take
A month's notice after the first three months, then a full backup and help moving it, free. The domain is already yours.
Sounds like you if
“The last person built it and then we never heard from them again.”

This is for you
Showing accreditations and reviews: An electrician website is for you
if any of these sound familiar.
- Work you want more of, like EV chargers
- Accreditation nobody can find on the site
- Landlord work you are not getting asked about
- Photographs sitting on your phone
It is not, if
- You want a template filled in
- You do not want quote requests
- Nobody will send me photographs of jobs
Not sure which side you are on? Say so on the call. If I am not the right person, you get the name of someone who is.
What an electrician website costs
Every price on the page,
before you call.
You should not have to sit through a call to find out whether you can afford me.
Electrician website questions: Questions I get every time.
The honest answers. If yours is not here, it is the first thing we cover.
Ask me yours01 What does an electrician website need that other trade sites do not?
Your registration where it can be seen, and a page for each kind of work. Electrical jobs are planned rather than urgent, so people compare, and what they compare on is whether you are registered and whether you have done their job before.
02 Where should the NICEIC logo go?
Near the top, with the number, not as a badge in the footer. It is the first thing a careful customer looks for, and the ones who look for it are the ones who pay properly.
03 What does electrician website design cost?
The same as any build of that size, priced by platform on the website design page. Most electricians need a small site done properly rather than a large one.
04 Is this different from a general trade website?
Same foundations, different emphasis. Website design for tradesmen is the general version; this one leans on accreditation and planned work rather than an emergency call.
05 Can you get me found locally?
That is its own job: SEO for tradesmen covers the search side, and local SEO is the profile and listings setup underneath it.
Usually goes with: Websites for electricians
and websites for tradesmen.
The general version, for any trade. Most of the foundations are the same; this page leans harder on accreditation.
