Why is my trade website not getting any calls?
A trade website usually gets no calls for one of four reasons: it is slow or awkward on a phone, the phone number is hard to find, it has no reviews so people do not trust it, or it does not show up in local Google searches. Fix those in that order. Most of the time it is not a design problem, it is that calling you is not easy enough or you are not being found.
Is it fast and easy on a phone?
Your customer is on a phone. If the site is slow or fiddly, they leave. Test it on your own phone: does it load fast, and is the call button obvious?
Are you being found, and trusted?
If you do not appear for "your trade near me", no one sees the site to call. And with no reviews, some who do see it hesitate. A Google Business Profile with reviews fixes both.

Common questions
How do I make my website get more calls?
Make it fast, put a click-to-call button where it cannot be missed, add real reviews, and get set up in local Google results. That is the whole game.
Could my website be too slow?
Very likely, if it was built on a heavy template. Speed on mobile is one of the biggest reasons trade sites lose calls, and a hand-coded site is much faster.
