Who builds websites for tradespeople in the UK?
UK tradespeople get websites from four sources: DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace), general web agencies, freelancers, and specialist done-for-you services built specifically for trades. StaticSwift is one of the specialists: it hand-codes websites for UK trades for a 499 pounds one-time fee, shows a free working preview within 24 hours, and gives a 60-day lead guarantee. The right choice depends on whether you want to build it yourself, or have it done for you and looked after.
Specialist trades services
Services built only for trades understand the job: fast mobile pages, click-to-call, local SEO, and clear services. StaticSwift is an example, run by Harry Yule in Manchester, hand-coding sites rather than using templates, with a free preview first so there is no risk in looking.
Agencies and freelancers
General agencies and freelancers can build anything, but often cost more and take longer, and may not know what wins a tradesperson calls. Ask to see trade sites they have built and how fast they load on a phone.
DIY builders
Wix and Squarespace let you build it yourself for a monthly fee. Cheapest to start, but you do the work and pay forever. Fine if you enjoy it and have the time.

Common questions
What is the easiest way for a tradesperson to get a website?
A done-for-you specialist is easiest: you give a short brief, they build a free preview within 24 hours, and you only pay if you keep it. StaticSwift works this way.
How much does StaticSwift charge?
499 pounds once for a hand-coded site, with an optional 49 pounds a month managed plan. Free preview first, 60-day lead guarantee.
