In the trades, the first impression is now made on the smartphone. Anyone looking for a roofer, heating engineer or electrician types the query into their phone, scrolls through the first results and calls exactly the business whose website loads quickly, looks trustworthy and makes the phone number reachable with a single tap. A trades website therefore has different jobs than an online magazine or a fashion shop: within seconds it must show which trade you offer, in what area you work and how to reach you right away. XICWEB knows the reality on the job site — you have no time for marketing theory but need a page that reliably brings new jobs and applications in the background. That is precisely what we build websites for trades businesses for: without agency jargon, with a dedicated contact instead of a call center and as a clear fixed price. How web design, visibility and care work together is shown in our services overview.

Typical Trades Requirements We Address

A website for a trades business has to meet two very different expectations at once without feeling overloaded. Someone searching for an emergency service after a burst pipe does not want to browse ten subpages but to dial the number. Someone planning a new bathroom wants to see reference images and build trust. On top of this comes the skills shortage: more than half of trades businesses report vacancies that cannot be filled (German Confederation of Skilled Crafts). A modern website has therefore long been a recruiting tool as well. We address these requirements with building blocks that truly count in the trades. How a page works on small screens is described in our article on mobile first and responsive design; we handle the design implementation in web design.

Click-to-Call from the Job Site

The phone number is reachable with one tap on every page, and a fixed call button stays visible while scrolling. A visit on the phone turns directly into a ringing phone in your office — the single most important path to a job for emergency enquiries.

Reference Gallery of Completed Projects

Before-and-after images of the roof, the renovated bathroom or the landscaped garden build trust. We prepare your job-site photos so they load quickly and look good on every device, without weighing down the load time.

Make Your Service Area Visible

We name the places you work in concretely and set up dedicated location pages, so visitors and search engines immediately recognize where you operate. That way you are found exactly where your customers are.

Enquiry Form with Photo Upload

Customers describe their request and upload a photo of the damage or object directly. This saves follow-up questions and lets you make an initial assessment before you even head out — and delivers the right key details straight away.

Career Page Against the Skills Shortage

Open positions for journeymen and apprentices, honest insights into daily operations and a quick application without a cover letter. Applications land straight in your inbox — younger skilled workers in particular research online first.

Master Certificate, Guild and Reviews

Genuine customer voices, guild membership, master craftsman certificate and qualifications act as trust anchors. We integrate them visibly, without invented reviews or decoration — only what truly distinguishes your business.

How Your Project Works with Us

You are a tradesperson, not a web developer, and it should stay that way. We take the technology entirely off your hands and keep the effort for you as low as possible. The process is clear and predictable, with defined steps and a dedicated contact who speaks your language — not a rotating hotline. Where trades businesses can sensibly start with digitalisation is shown in our article on digitalisation in the trades; visibility in the surrounding area comes from local SEO.

We listen: which trades do you offer, in what area do you work, do you mainly want to win jobs or also new staff? The conversation is free and non-binding — by phone, video or in person. It ends with a clear concept and a binding fixed-price offer.

An individual website for your trades business as a fixed price. The exact price depends on scope, the number of trades and whether a career section is added, and is stated after the free initial talk in a binding, written offer. More extensive presences with a reference gallery, career page and local location pages are calculated by effort.

How a New Website Changes Day-to-Day Work

Roofing
Starting point
Old site with no mobile view, enquiries almost only through referrals, no visible job openings.

Result
More phone enquiries straight from the job site and applications that arrive structured in the inbox.
Plumbing & heating
Starting point
Emergency service and planning business mixed together, no online enquiry possible, many phone callbacks.
Measure
Separate sections for emergency and planning plus an enquiry form with a photo upload of the affected device.
Result
Fewer follow-up questions in advance, clearer scheduling and a credible presentation of larger projects.
Electrical business
Starting point
Outdated site, barely usable on the smartphone, complex services presented in a hard-to-understand way.
Measure
Relaunch with a clear split between private and commercial customers, understandable topic pages and fast technology.
Result
A presence that convinces on every device and enquiries with the right key details already in the form.

Frequently Asked Questions About Websites for Trades Businesses

How the website of a veterinary practice could look

The draft shows structure and handling: care split by species, an opening-hours panel with a live state, a form with matching follow-up questions. The practice in it is invented.

Draft
Veterinary practice

Vet practice with species tabs and hours panel

A draft for a small-animal practice: tabs switch the approach between dog, cat and small pet, while an opening-hours panel marks the running day and checks against the device clock whether consultation is currently open. A separate section keeps cases that can wait for an appointment apart from those that need to be assessed right away. In the form, choosing species and concern brings up the follow-up questions that belong to that case.
