Websites for carpenters and joiners that sell the craft before the first site visit

No law says you must have one, but most customers check you online before they ring, even when a friend recommended you. Like most carpenters websites, yours is the one place you control the photos, prices and reviews people see, and it is what Google shows when someone searches your name or “joiner near me”. A Google Business Profile helps, but it works best pointing to a site.

Our carpentry website design costs £1,195 for a 5-page Essential site, £1,995 for a 12-page Growth site and £3,495 for a 30-page Premium site, each paid once. Most joiners choose Growth, which fits pages for wardrobes, staircases, doors, kitchens and the towns you cover. Care is optional at £35 a month, and the site is free with a 12-month SEO Growth or Pro plan.

A .co.uk or .com domain usually costs less than £20 a year. The bigger question is whose name it is registered in. If your web designer registered it to themselves, you cannot move the site without their help. We register the domain, hosting and every login to your business from day one, so the joiner website is yours outright.

You can start with a free Wix or Google Business Profile site, and it is better than nothing. The limits show once you want to rank: slow photo galleries, one page trying to cover every job, and a web address you do not fully control. When you are ready for a site that wins searches, proper websites for carpenters pay for themselves in a few jobs.

The best carpenters websites use your own photos, not stock, and give each job type its own set rather than repeating the same four images. Caption each project with the timber, finish and town, show before and after shots where you have them, and compress the files so pages load fast on a phone. We sort, crop and caption your photos during the build.

Photos of similar finished work, recent reviews, clear communication and some idea of price. For staircases they may also ask whether the design meets Approved Document K, and builders want to see insurance and CSCS cards. A good website for joiners answers those questions on the page, so the customer rings already half convinced.

Show guide prices for common jobs, such as a typical alcove wardrobe or hanging a set of internal doors, rather than a fixed day rate. Guides filter out enquiries that would never book and win clicks from people searching costs. Keep the exact figure for the quote, where access, materials and finish change it.

Common reasons: the site is not submitted in Google Search Console, every job sits on one page, the pages never name your towns, or your Google Business Profile is not linked to the site. We fix all four at launch. Ranking for “carpenter” plus a busy town above established joiners takes ongoing work, which our SEO for carpenters and local SEO cover, including the map pack.

Not necessarily. Checkatrade and Bark charge membership or per-lead fees and send the same job to several joiners, but a profile can still help with reviews while your site builds up. Many carpenters keep one directory listing and cut back on paid leads once their own site brings in steady enquiries.

We add a live Google reviews feed to your site, so each new review appears without you touching it. To get more reviews in the first place, send a direct review link by text at handover and ask the customer to mention the job and town. Reviews that name the work help both your website and your Maps ranking.

There are three kinds. Lead and directory sites such as Checkatrade, MyBuilder and TrustATrader send enquiries for a fee. The Institute of Carpenters lists members customers can check. And there are websites for carpenters that you own, which rank your name, show your projects and keep every enquiry. Most joiners use one directory plus their own site.

Yes. Your carpentry website runs on WordPress with Elementor Pro and a ready-made project template. Adding a finished staircase or wardrobe takes about ten minutes: upload the photos, add the timber, finish and town, then publish. We show you how at handover, or website care at £35 a month covers it for you.
