Create a craftsman website that shows your work

Your best salesman is your finished work. A craftsman website with real project photos, your specialties and a quote form turns neighbors' searches into signed jobs, and it takes an evening to build with Communik, not a month with an agency.

Steps 5 and 6 happen after you create your account: the site is generated with your answers, then you publish it on your own domain when you are ready.

What you get

What your website does
for you.

Four things that turn a visitor into a customer, in place from the first day.

Projects that speak for you

Before/after galleries by type of work: the proof that closes deals.

Quote requests, structured

A form that collects the project, the address and photos, so you quote faster, with fewer visits.

Your area and specialties, clear

Towns covered and trades practiced, stated plainly, for customers and for Google.

Reviews that reassure

Client testimonials displayed next to your work: trust before the first call.

The pages you get

Not an empty template to fill in: pages already written and already linked to each other, with example content you correct instead of writing from scratch.

Your photographs are good. The quote requests still do not arrive. A craftsman website fails at that exact point: 73% of local searches start on mobile and 72% of people compare three businesses or fewer, so a silent gallery loses to a talkative competitor with half your skill.

Caption every project, or the photo says nothing

Under each of your projects: the materials, the town, how long the job took, and a budget range. A staircase in oak, three weeks, fitted in a 1930s house, tells a visitor whether you are the right person and roughly what it costs.

An uncaptioned gallery is pleasant to scroll and impossible to buy from.

The lead time nobody dares to publish

Say when you could start: four weeks, next season, whatever is true today. It is the first question after price, and publishing it filters out the people who wanted the job done yesterday. Losing those calls is a feature.

What a craftsman website must say about insurance and guarantees

State your insurance cover, the guarantee on your work and its duration, and what happens if a defect appears afterwards. Customers already check this before hiring; make it easy rather than making them ask.

The quote form, and the area you actually cover

  • A short quote form: what the job is, where, when, and a photo taken on their phone.
  • The area you travel to, named town by town rather than "and surroundings".
  • Reviews on the page: 97% of consumers read them, and 31% will only use a business rated 4.5 stars or higher.

None of this replaces the craft. It just stops the craft from being invisible.

Questions

Before you start.
Everything else, just ask.

What people ask before they get going.

Can I sort projects by type of work?

Yes: one gallery per specialty (kitchen, roof, electrical...), each with its own page and visibility.

Can customers send photos with their quote request?

Yes, the quote form can accept photos, so you understand the job before moving.

Do I need to write a lot of text?

No. Your photos carry the site, and a few honest sentences per specialty are enough.

How much does it cost?

Free to build; publishing on your domain starts at €14/month, with hosting, SSL and SEO included.

More trades

Another trade?

Each one comes with its own live demo site you can browse before you start: same editor, same price, content already written for that job.
