How do I choose a web designer for my trade business?
Choose a web designer who understands trades, shows you fast trade sites they have built, is clear on price with no surprise fees, and lets you see something before you commit. Avoid anyone locking you into long contracts, promising a number-one Google ranking, or unable to show real examples. The safest option is a service that builds a free preview first, so you judge the work, not the sales pitch.
See the work, and the speed
Ask for trade sites they have built and open them on your phone. If they load slowly or look like everyone else, keep looking.
Clear price, no lock-in
Know the total cost up front and whether there are monthly fees. Be wary of long contracts and anyone who cannot tell you a straight price.
Preview before you pay
The lowest-risk option is a service that shows you a real working preview first. StaticSwift builds one free within 24 hours, and you only pay the 499 pounds if you keep it.

Common questions
Should I use a local web designer or a specialist?
A trades specialist usually understands what wins you calls better than a general local designer. What matters most is real trade examples and a fair, clear price.
What is a fair price for a trade website?
Around 499 to 1,500 pounds one-off, or 15 to 40 pounds a month on a builder. Be wary of both very cheap template work and overpriced agencies.
