How people actually choose an electrician

Watch someone pick an electrician and the sequence is remarkably consistent. They check that you are registered with a recognised scheme, because they have been told to. They read reviews, mostly the recent ones and mostly the bad ones. And they judge how quickly and clearly you respond, because in their mind that predicts how you will behave once they have given you a key and a deposit.

Notice what is missing. They are not comparing your logo. They are not reading your mission statement. They are running a short risk assessment on a stranger they are about to let near their fuse board, and every element of the website either reduces that risk or adds to it.

So the website has one job: make you look like the safe, obvious, competent choice within about ninety seconds, on a phone, probably one handed. Everything else is decoration.

01

Registration, stated plainly

Not a logo in the footer. The scheme, the registration category and your number, where someone can see it without hunting.

02

Reviews with context

Recent reviews shown alongside the job they relate to. A five star review that says rewire is worth more to a rewire enquiry than fifty generic ones.

03

Evidence of the work

Photographs of finished boards, tidy containment, completed installs. Bad photos of good work still beat stock images of someone else's work.

04

An obvious way to make contact

A tappable number on every screen, a short form that does not demand a life story, and a clear statement of when you actually answer the phone.

Showing certification credibly, and accurately

This is where most electrician websites quietly damage themselves. They put three badges in a row, write "Part P qualified" underneath, and anyone who knows the sector immediately knows they do not.

Be precise, because precision is itself the trust signal. NICEIC and NAPIT are separate organisations that operate competent person schemes, each with its own registration categories covering different types of work. Registration with one is not registration with the other, and the categories are not interchangeable. Part P is a section of the Building Regulations for England and Wales dealing with electrical safety in dwellings. It is a regulation, not a qualification and not a badge, and nobody is Part P certified. What a registered business can do is self certify that notifiable domestic work complies, under the scheme it belongs to.

Similarly, the work you do is carried out to the current wiring regulations and evidenced by the certificates and reports you issue. Say which documents you issue and what they are for. A homeowner who has been told to get a certificate does not know an installation certificate from a condition report, and the electrician who explains the difference on the page is the one they call.

Written properly, this section does more for conversion than any design decision on the site. Written carelessly, it tells a discerning customer, a letting agent or a commercial buyer that you are casual about detail.

Can you not just add my NICEIC logo and be done with it?

A logo alone does very little. Most customers cannot distinguish one scheme from another, and a badge with no context reads as decoration. What moves people is stating the scheme, the registration category and the number, explaining what it means that you can self certify notifiable domestic work, and naming the certificates you issue. That is the part competitors skip.

The structure an electrician website needs

One page listing every service you offer is the single most common problem I see. It cannot rank for anything specific, and it cannot persuade anyone, because the person who needs an EICR by Friday and the person considering a rewire need entirely different arguments.

Each significant service earns a page. That page explains what the job involves, what affects the price, how long it takes, what disruption to expect and what document the customer ends up holding. Eight pages is enough for most electrical businesses if they are the right eight.

01

Rewires and partial rewires

The highest value domestic job and the most considered purchase. Needs the most reassurance: what happens to the plaster, how long you are in the house, what it costs and why.

02

EICRs and landlord certificates

Deadline driven and largely bought by landlords and agents. Explain what the report covers, what the codes mean, what happens if remedials are needed, and how fast you can attend.

03

EV charger installation

A separate page, not a bullet point. Covered in detail below, because this is the growth segment most electrician websites still treat as an afterthought.

04

Fault finding

Urgent, phone led, often out of hours. Short page, prominent number, plain statement of call out charges and when you actually answer.

05

Consumer unit upgrades

Frequently the trigger for a wider conversation about the installation. Explain why a board gets replaced, what testing goes with it and what paperwork follows.

06

Commercial and landlord services

Periodic inspection, emergency lighting, remedial works, maintenance. Different language, different proof, and it should not sit under the domestic pages.

07

Service areas

A real page for each town you genuinely cover, written properly. Not thirty near identical pages with the place name swapped, which is worse than having none.

08

About, and the person behind it

Years in the trade, who turns up, what your vehicles look like, how you leave a house. For a trade entering people's homes this converts better than most owners expect.

EV charger installation deserves its own page

Home charge point work has become a substantial and growing part of many electrical businesses, and it is still routinely buried as the ninth bullet on a services list. That is a mistake, because it behaves nothing like the rest of your work.

The customer is different. They are often a first time EV buyer with a delivery date, researching before the car arrives, and they have questions no rewire customer ever asks. Which unit should I have. Can my supply take it. Do I need a survey. What about a load management device. Where can the cable run. Is there any funding I might qualify for, and does the installer need to be approved for it. Can I have it on the wall by the front door rather than in the garage.

They are also comparing you against national installers and car manufacturer schemes with slick booking journeys, not just the electrician two streets away. You will not win that on polish. You win it by being local, contactable, able to survey properly and honest about what the property can support, and by having a page that answers the twelve questions the national booking form skips.

A proper EV page states which units you install and whether you are tied to any brand, what a survey involves, what happens if the supply or the earthing arrangement needs work, roughly what determines the price, and how any grant funded work is handled given that some schemes require the installer to be authorised under them. That page is often the highest intent traffic on an electrician website, and it usually does not exist.

Built to be contacted, on a phone, in a hurry

Most of your visitors are on a mobile, and a decent share of them are standing in a hallway looking at a dead consumer unit. Design decisions that look elegant on a laptop routinely cost enquiries in that situation.

So: the phone number is tappable and visible without scrolling, on every page. Forms are short, because every extra field costs you responses and nobody will type a paragraph about their fault on a phone. Pages load fast on a weak signal, which mostly means not shipping enormous images. Your service area is stated in words a person would use, not just shown on a map. And it is obvious when you answer, because "24/7 emergency" on a website where nobody picks up after six is worse than saying nothing.

None of that is clever. It is just done consistently, on every page, which is the part that gets skipped.

What £1,995 gets you

One fixed price. No monthly licence, no rental, no drip feed of extras once you have committed.

You get up to eight pages, planned around your actual services rather than a template, with copy written for each one instead of the same three paragraphs reworded. Design is custom and mobile first. Your certification, scheme registration, reviews and photographs of finished work are built in as structure, not bolted on. Search foundations are handled at build time: page structure, titles and descriptions, local business schema, sitemap, redirects from your old URLs if you have them, and analytics so you can see what happens next.

Two rounds of revisions are included. Delivery is three to four weeks from having your content, and thirty days of support after launch is included so the small things that surface in the first month get fixed.

You own all of it. The domain stays in your name, the site is yours, and if you decide to work with somebody else in a year you take it with you. I have no interest in holding anything hostage.

What happens if I want changes after launch?

Thirty days of support is included, so anything that surfaces in the first month is handled. After that, small changes are quick and I charge for the time. You own the site, so you can also have anyone else work on it. There is no lock in and no forced retainer.

Who writes the content? I do not have time to write anything.

I do. You talk, I write. Discovery is a conversation, not a homework assignment, and I will draft from that rather than send you a blank template. The only thing I genuinely cannot produce for you is photographs of your own finished work, and those matter more than the words.

01

Up to eight pages

Planned around your services and the towns you actually cover, then written individually.

02

Two revision rounds

Structured feedback at homepage stage and again before launch, rather than endless drift.

03

Live in three to four weeks

From the point I have your content. The realistic bottleneck is usually photographs.

04

Thirty days of support

After launch, for the things nobody spots until real customers are using it.

05

Search ready at launch

Structure, metadata, schema, redirects and analytics done properly on day one rather than retrofitted.

06

Yours outright

Domain, files and content. No rental model, no hostage taking, no exit fee.

Design and development choices that win the job

Good web design for an electrical business is mostly restraint, and the website design decisions that matter are practical: real photographs of real work, certification shown accurately, the number on every screen, and pages that load fast on a poor signal. That is web design serving the business rather than the portfolio. The development side is the invisible half of the same job — clean code, quick pages, a website that behaves on the phones customers hold — and it is where cheap electrician websites quietly fail.

One person handling the design, the development and the words means the electrician website hangs together: the copy sells what the business actually does, the design makes the next step obvious, and no team or agency layer reinterprets the brief between meetings. Every electrician business I build for owns the result outright — the website, the domain, the content. For a company weighing this against a template, the question is not which website is cheaper to launch; it is which website is cheaper per enquiry across four years, and that arithmetic has never once favoured the template. The landing page a customer reaches decides what every marketing pound was worth; web design is simply the discipline of deciding it in the business's favour, and electricians who treat their websites as infrastructure rather than decoration make better decisions about both halves — the electrician web design itself and the marketing that feeds it. That is what leads to development work that earns its keep.

How the build runs

It starts with the free audit. I look at what you have now, what you rank for and how your Google Business Profile is set up, and I send you a written summary within three working days. I read it and write it myself. There is no sales call.

If you go ahead, there is a discovery conversation where I get your services, areas, certification details, pricing logic and proof. Then I plan the pages and the argument each one has to make, and you see that before anything is designed. The homepage direction is agreed first, the remaining pages follow, and then we test, connect tracking and launch.

What I need from you is small but real: photographs of finished work, your scheme registration details, and an hour or so on the phone. The projects that slip are almost always waiting on photographs. Take pictures of the next three boards you install, badly lit and on your phone, and you will have solved it.

Straight answers

What electricians ask before a rebuild.

There is no catch, but there is a boundary. You are getting up to eight pages of a well planned, well written, fast, conversion focused site with proper search foundations. You are not getting an online shop, a booking and payment system, a customer portal or a fifty page site. If you need those, I am the wrong person and I will say so before you pay anything.

If it brings you the work you want, do not replace it. The question is not whether it looks fine to you, it is whether it converts. If people find you and do not ring, or the enquiries are all small jobs when you want rewires and commercial work, that is the website selecting your customers for you. The audit will tell you which of those is happening.

It gives you the foundation, and it fixes the technical and structural reasons a site cannot rank. It is not the same as an ongoing search programme, and I am not going to pretend it is. If visibility rather than conversion is your actual problem, look at the SEO page and start there instead.
