Web design for trades, done properly
Web design for trades should be simple and affordable. We're a UK company on a simple mission: get hard-working trades a professional website without the agency price tag or the upfront bill.
Why we started
Scalesites started from a frustration plenty of trades will recognise. Getting a decent website meant either a few thousand pounds and a year-long contract with an agency, or weeks of your own evenings wrestling with a DIY builder.
Neither is fair on someone who's flat out running a business and just needs the phone to ring. So we built a better option: a professional, made-for-you website from £45 a month with nothing upfront, live in two weeks, and yours to own.
No jargon, no hidden fees, no VAT, no surprises. Just a site that looks the part and brings in work.
Meet Craig
Craig Wilson runs Scalesites. Before starting it, he spent 15+ years in marketing and sales, working hands-on across paid media, SEO and automation, and building and running sales teams along the way. That means he has sat on both sides of the table: the person selling the work, and the person managing the people who deliver it.
That background is why Scalesites exists in its current form. Trades don't need an agency that talks in jargon or a DIY builder that eats their evenings: they need someone who has actually run marketing and sales operations telling them straight what a website needs to do to bring the calls in, then building it properly and keeping it found on Google.
Scalesites is based in London and works with tradespeople across the UK: electricians, plumbers, builders, carpenters, roofers, landscapers, painters and decorators, plasterers, tilers, and heating and gas engineers.
The rules we don't bend
Six things every Scalesites client can hold us to, from the first enquiry to the day the site goes live and after.
The price is on the page
Scale Start is £45 a month and Scale Up is £79 a month. Nothing to pay upfront, and no VAT to add because we're not VAT-registered. You'll never get a "contact us for a quote" from us.
You see your site before you pay
Every enquiry gets a free preview of your actual site within 48 hours, with your business name, trade and services on it. If it isn't right, you don't pay and you owe us nothing.
The 12-month term, said out loud
Scale Start and Scale Up run on a 12-month minimum term, then month to month. That year is what pays for building, hosting and looking after your site with £0 upfront, so we tell you on day one rather than bury it in the terms.
Your website is yours
The domain, the site and the content belong to you. It isn't a licence you rent forever, and nobody holds it hostage.
Built around how trades win work
Local customers search for a trade and a town, then pick up the phone. So every site leads with click-to-call, the areas you cover and your work, with local SEO and your Google Business Profile set up from day one.
Changes are our job, not yours
Need a new service, photo or price on the site? Send it over and we make the change. Ongoing support and changes come with both plans, so there's no login to remember.
How we do business
Honest, upfront pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. No discovery calls to 'scope' your budget.
You own your website
Your domain, your site, your content, always. No hostage situations.
Fast, without cutting corners
Two weeks to live, built properly and set up to rank from day one.
Built for trades
We understand how local customers search and what makes them call. Every site is built around that.
