Welcome to Flexible Web.

My websites are the perfect solution for tradesmen and tradeswomen who are looking to generate additional business and money through their website.

Make no bones about it, a good website WILL generate you money.

Below are some classic mistakes that I see being made which are easily rectified with a new website.

I have a directory listing, but no website.

A lot of the time I notice that tradesmen / tradeswomen have no website at all, instead relying on directory listings.

Whilst that is a start, it will never generate the kind of business that an actual website will.

Let’s just say you and a competitor are featured at the top of a directory listing.  It’s most likely someone will do a quick search for both your websites before making a decision who to contact.

If you don’t have a website, you can be confident it won’t be you getting that phone call.

I rely on word of mouth.

Tradesmen / tradeswomen benefit from word of mouth to generate work.  Do a good job and you can be sure people will hear about it.

My dad always says ‘Keep your friends close, but a good tradesman closer.’

The trouble is now, that word of mouth largely means social media.

If you ask for recommendations on Facebook, which I myself have done, you get lots of replies.

How do you decide on who to use?

For me I go staight to someone’s website or lack of website.  And that website is critical in my decision upon whether to use someone or not.

I use a hotmail address.

I notice a lot of ‘@hotmail.com’ email addresses on the sides of cars and vans of tradesmen / tradeswomen.  This always smacks of unprofessionalism.

Think about it.  Would you be more likely to trust:

– electriciandan@hotmail.com

OR

– info@electriciandan.com

Investing money in a website and an accompanying email address builds trust that a hotmail address just can’t do.

My current website looks dated.

For whatever reason, a lot of tradesmen / tradeswomen websites appear dated.

Maybe you had a go yourself or got a friend to do it.

You know it’s not quite looking or working how you want it to, but you don’t want to invest a lot of time and money in a new website.

My current website has never made me any money.

Stop already.  If your website isn’t making you money, then jump ship now.

You don’t just have a website because your competitor has one or to tick a box.

You have one because it should generate you money.

I can show you how to do that and how to quantify the money that is made.

Why this is all good news

The websites I offer solve all of the above problems and are affordable and flexible.

Investing your money in one of my websites means you can steal a march on your competition.

The most important reason for tradesmen / tradeswomen to have a website

Having a website allows you to generate business for yourself in the quiet times.

Firstly you have a shop window to your services that can be accessed 24/7.

Furthermore, let’s say you provide a price list on your website to potential clients in exchange for their email address.

When work dries up, you have a very quick way to generate business for yourself by sending out an email to your list of potential clients.

Sound powerful?  It should.  It’s  a great business strategy, but very underused.

We want to hear from you

So whether you’re an electrician, plumber, carpenter, painter, builder etc we’ve got a website for you.

Our websites allow tradesmen / tradeswomen to:

  • Tell people what services you offer
  • Show examples of your work
  • Add testimonials from happy clients
  • Give clients multiple ways of contacting you
  • Generate business through organic traffic to your site
  • Give people the confidence to hire you as your website reflects your professional setup
  • Enable you to demonstrate that you are an expert in your field.

Don’t forget it will be extremely easy to maintain your site.  It will be extremely intuitive and you’re not going to be spending hours on it every week.
