Website for Bricklayers

Websites for Bricklayers

Brickwork sells itself when people can see it. A straight, clean gable, a well-matched extension, crisp pointing on a period property: your best advert is the work you finished last week. The problem is that most of it disappears behind the customer's fence. A website puts your work back on show, and Fruitcake Media builds websites for bricklayers from £39 a month that do exactly that.

Why bricklayers lose work without a website

Most bricklaying jobs start with a search. A homeowner planning an extension, a garden wall or repointing looks online, compares two or three local names and contacts the ones that look established. If you are not there, the job goes to whoever is, regardless of who lays the better brick. Word of mouth still matters, but even a recommended tradesman gets searched before the phone rings. No website, or a dead Facebook page, plants doubt exactly when the customer is ready to commit.

A good bricklayer's website does three jobs at once. It proves your standard of work through photographs. It tells customers what you actually take on, from full builds and extensions to garden walls, retaining walls and repointing. And it makes contacting you effortless, with a phone number that dials on a tap and a short form for people planning ahead.

What your bricklaying website should include

• A photo gallery organised by job type, because customers want to see work like theirs
• Before and after shots of repointing and repair work, which sell that service better than any words
• A clear list of the jobs you take on, and just as importantly the areas you cover
• A line about being fully insured, if you are, because homeowners increasingly check
• A tap-to-call phone number on every page for customers on site or on the move
• A short enquiry form for larger planned projects like extensions

Local search wins local jobs

Bricklaying is a local trade, and local search is where the enquiries are. Every website we build includes SEO foundations as standard, and our monthly SEO service can push on further, helping you rank in the towns you actually want to work in. We build websites for trades across Cheshire and across the UK.

Pricing that works for a working trade

You do not need a big agency invoice to get a professional website. Our pay monthly packages start from £39 a month, with hosting, SSL, daily backups, updates and real human support all included. No upfront lump sum, no surprise extras, and a site you can update yourself from your phone between jobs.

What a bricklayer's website costs to run

The Starter package at £39 a month covers a professional site of up to five pages, which suits most sole-trader bricklayers: home, services, gallery, areas covered and contact. Firms chasing bigger domestic projects usually step up to Active at £79 a month, which adds a blog for job write-ups, quarterly health checks and manual SEO work including Google Business Profile setup. There is no upfront design bill on either, so the website starts paying for itself with the first wall it wins.

Common questions from bricklayers

Are phone photos good enough for the gallery?

Yes, if they are sharp and taken in good light. Step back for the full elevation, get close for the pointing, and shoot before the scaffolding comes down where you can. We tidy and optimise every image as part of the build.

Most of my work comes through builders. Is a website still worth it?

Sub-contract work keeps the diary full, but direct domestic jobs usually pay better, and a website is how you win them without losing the builder relationships. Plenty of our trade clients run both streams side by side.

Can I add new jobs to the site myself?

Yes. CMS access is included in every package, so adding this week's photos takes a few minutes from your phone. If you would rather send them over, our support is human and included.

How quickly can my website go live?

Most bricklayer websites are live within two to four weeks of starting, faster when photographs and business details arrive early.
