Compliance basics
Rules worth knowing by market
| Market | What to check |
|---|---|
| United States | Many states require contractors to show a licence number in advertising, including websites (California's CSLB is a well-known example). Check your state licensing board's rules before launch. |
| United Kingdom | Only display Gas Safe, NICEIC, NAPIT, TrustMark or other scheme logos if you are currently registered, and show your registration number where the scheme requires it. Company websites must show the registered company name and number. |
| Germany, Austria & Switzerland | Your Impressum usually needs your trade registration details (for example the Handwerkskammer entry for regulated crafts) and, where applicable, your professional title and the regulating chamber. |
| UAE & Saudi Arabia | Show your trade licence or commercial registration (CR) details where required, and make sure any claims about approvals or classifications are current. |
| Everywhere | Be careful with photos: only show projects you actually completed, or clearly label stock imagery. |
These notes are a starting point, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by state, emirate and country, so please confirm the details with your regulator or professional body. We'll build whatever your compliance requires.

Trades & contractors: common questions
How much does a website for a trade business cost?
$150 for the first page and $50 for each extra page. A one-page site ($150) can work well for a sole trader; a site with separate service pages is typically 4–6 pages ($300–$400). The homepage demo is free.
Can customers send photos of the job?
Yes. Many trades prefer WhatsApp for photos, so we make WhatsApp easy to reach. A form with file upload is also possible depending on your form provider.
Should I have a page for every town I cover?
Only if each page is genuinely useful. A strong service-area section usually works better than dozens of near-identical town pages, which search engines may treat as low quality.
Can you design for roofers, plumbers and electricians specifically?
Yes. The structure is similar, but the services, trust signals and calls to action are tailored to your trade.
