Websites for electricians.
I'm Huw. I build sites for electricians and other small businesses around Bridgend and South Wales. I can help acquire and setup your domain, the hosting and your custom email.
It's just me, so you deal with the same person the whole way through.
For most sites I build, there's no ongoing monthly cost once it's live, that includes no hosting cost. You'll see some other agencies charge a monthly ongoing fee to keep your site live, with me, you only pay when you actually need something.
I'm in Bridgend, working across South Wales and remotely anywhere in the UK.
What your customers type
The searches worth turning up for. Each one wants something slightly different from the page it lands on.
- EV charger installation cost
- tethered vs untethered EV charger
- how much does a rewire cost
- how long does a rewire take
- smart lighting installation
- garden lighting ideas
- fuse box keeps tripping
- consumer unit replacement cost
- do I need an EICR to rent my house
- kitchen downlights ideas
- EICR certificate Bridgend
- emergency electrician near me
Nobody searches for an electrician
They search for the thing they want doing. “EV charger installation cost”, “how long does a rewire take”, “fuse box keeps tripping”, “garden lighting ideas”. Four different people at four different stages, and one page called Services answers none of them properly. Most of your money is at the planned end of that, the car landing in six weeks, the rewire they’ve been putting off since they moved in, the kitchen lighting somebody has been imagining since spring.
Who’s actually reading
The EV charger customer has half read something about grants, heard the words load balancing somewhere, and would quite like somebody to settle tethered against untethered for them. The rewire customer asks what it costs and then asks how long, and it’s the second question that stops them, because what they’re really asking is whether they can live in the house while it happens. Landlords are their own thing again, one rental turning into three, back every five years. Then there’s the one stood in a dark hallway with the board tripped and one bar of signal, reading none of it.
Part P and your scheme
Domestic work in England and Wales sits under Part P, and NICEIC and NAPIT both run public registers, so being easy to look up on one costs you nothing and answers something customers know they should ask about.
What I’d do for you
The first meeting is me walking you through where your customers come from and what each of them is trying to find out, and after that I’ll tell you what I’d build and what it costs.
The build, your email and your Google profile
Most of these sites are static: plain files on a server, nothing to log into, no plugin sat there waiting to be patched. They load quickly on a phone with two bars of signal, and for most of them there's no ongoing hosting cost. No monthly retainer, and the domain renews once a year at list price in your name with no commission from me. If you'd rather edit the pages yourself I'll build you something you can edit, and tell you what it costs to run before we start.
Email goes on your own custom domain, setup properly so your quotes, invoices and confirmations land in the inbox rather than the spam folder.
Then the Google Business Profile, which on a phone often sits above every website on the screen. I go through yours with you and get it agreeing with the site, because when the two disagree they stop being read as the same business.
What I'd build for electricians in your town
The job is the same wherever you are. What changes is which town and village names belong on the page, that's what people type.
See where your site stands first
Put your address into the free check and it tells you where the site's hosted, what it's built with, what a search engine actually gets and whether your email is setup right. Takes about ten seconds and nothing on your site is touched. Run the free check.
If the email records come back failing, that's worth reading about on its own. If it's the site, here's how I build them, and here are five things to ask anyone quoting you.
Tell me about the business.
Say what you're trying to achieve and I'll tell you what I'd do, including when the answer is an hour on your Google Business Profile would do more than a new site.
