Website for tradespeople and construction firms – at a fixed price

Anyone looking for a tradesperson wants to know three things within seconds: what exactly do you do, do you work in my area, and how do I reach you? A good website for tradespeople answers exactly these questions before anyone scrolls on.

• Name your services specifically: instead of “all kinds of painting work”, say “exterior painting, interiors, wallpapering, plastering”.
• Service area with place names: list the municipalities and districts where you work.
• Phone number clearly visible: on a mobile it becomes tap-to-call. If you offer an on-call or emergency service, it belongs prominently at the top.
• Reference photos: finished jobs, ideally before and after.
• Team and apprenticeships: faces build trust, and a page on open positions or apprenticeships brings in applications.
• Quote requests: the contact form is included. Add a note on the details you need – location, approximate area, preferred date.

For a business with one clear core service, a one-page website with everything listed one below the other is enough. If you offer several trades – say plumbing, heating and heat pumps – subpages make things easier to navigate. The price stays the same either way: CHF 899.–, built the way the chosen template is structured.

The construction category has over 100 templates; these six show how different a tradesperson’s online presence can look. All templates feature fictitious demo companies – we replace names, texts and images with yours.

• Template “FARBWERK” (painter): large typography and bold blocks of colour, multi-page with a project gallery.
• Template “VOLT” (electrician): yellow and blue on dark navy, technical and precise, with an emergency button.
• Template “AQUATECH” (plumbing & heating): bright and clean in water blue, with an emergency banner and five subpages.
• Template “MASSWERK” (joinery): warm wood and linen tones, calm and focused on materials.
• Template “HOCHKANT” (roofer): slate grey with orange, robust and direct.
• Template “GRÜNRAUM” (garden & landscaping): deep greens and plenty of white space, with the feel of a planning office.

If you like a template, you can have it preselected straight in the enquiry form – via “I want this” in the gallery or “I want this template” directly in the template.

Your own photos from the job site are more convincing than any stock image, because customers see your real work. A current smartphone is perfectly adequate if you follow a few rules:

• Take photos in daylight and give the site a quick tidy first.
• Always shoot before and after from the same spot.
• Only show customers’ homes with their consent, without house numbers or people.

If you have a Google Business Profile, add your new website’s address there. Make sure your company name, address, phone number and opening hours are exactly the same on both – conflicting details unsettle customers.

1. Choose a template: browse the gallery below and click the template that suits your business.

3. We adapt it: colours, logo, texts and images are put in place, and you check the preview.

The price is fixed: CHF 899.– incl. VAT, including customisation, contact form, https and hosting in the first year. From the second year, hosting costs CHF 89.– per year. We connect an existing domain, or register a new one on request for a separate domain fee. Request your website now.

folie.ch is part of Foliencenter GmbH in Wallisellen, which has been lettering and wrapping vehicles for years. So the logo we prepare for your website can go straight onto your company van, onto workwear for your team and onto a PVC advertising banner on the scaffolding. For vehicles that are also used privately, there’s the magnetic sign. One logo – everything branded, now online too.
