Web design for handymen
Handyman website design for the people who fix everything else
The odd jobs list. Every house has one: the shelf that needs putting up, the door that sticks, the gutter that overflows every time it rains, the flat-pack wardrobe still in its box in the spare room. A good handyman is worth their weight in gold, and the people who need one are often searching for exactly that job rather than the word “handyman”.
Be specific, even though you do a bit of everything
The trap with handyman websites is the long, vague list. “All jobs considered, no job too small.” It’s friendly, but it doesn’t help anyone decide, and it doesn’t give Google much to go on either.
It works much better to group what you do and give real examples:
- Around the house: shelves, curtain poles, TV mounting, flat-pack assembly, door adjustments.
- Outside: gutter clearing, fence panel repairs, jet washing, small garden jobs.
- Repairs and finishing: sealant, minor tiling, touch-up painting, patching small holes.
- For landlords and letting agents: tenancy changeovers and those small repair lists that build up between tenants.
That last group can be a quiet goldmine. A letting agent with a few dozen properties needs someone reliable on speed dial, and they’ll search for that.
Say what you don’t do
This feels backwards, but it builds trust. Some jobs legally need a qualified trade, like gas work, which must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and certain electrical work. Saying clearly that you don’t touch those, and perhaps recommending people who do, shows customers you know your limits. That’s exactly what they want from someone they’re letting into their home.
Trust is the whole job
Many handyman customers are older, live alone, or are arranging help for a parent. They want to know who’s coming. A friendly photo of you, a few lines about how long you’ve been doing this, your insurance details and some honest reviews will do more than any amount of polished marketing. If you have a DBS check, mention it.
Being upfront about how you charge helps too, whether that’s by the hour, by the half day or a minimum callout. People hate guessing.
What it costs
For most handymen the Classic Website at £30 a month including VAT is plenty: up to 15 pages, hosting, SSL, a contact form and unlimited phone and email support. If you’d like to add pages and photos yourself or take payments online, the Premium Website is £45 a month. No setup fee, no minimum term. Have a look at our web design packages page for the full comparison.
If your work leans towards decorating or plastering, our pages on web design for painters and decorators and plasterers might suit you better.
Your services grouped and named the way customers actually look for them, from shelves to gutters.
A proper about section with a photo and a bit of background, because people want to know who’s coming.
Hourly, half-day or minimum charges explained simply, so nobody has to guess.
A page for letting agents and landlords who need someone reliable for repair lists.
Say which jobs need a specialist, and show customers you know the difference.
Tap-to-call and a simple contact form, so enquiries reach you from any phone.
Questions handymen often ask us
What should a handyman website include?
A clear list of the jobs you do, grouped sensibly, the areas you cover, how you charge, a friendly photo and some background about you, your insurance details and a few genuine reviews. It also helps to say which jobs you don’t do.
Should I mention jobs I can’t do?
Yes. Gas work must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer and some electrical work needs a qualified electrician. Saying you don’t do those jobs shows customers you take safety seriously, which builds trust.
Can I get work from landlords and letting agents?
Many handymen do. A short page explaining that you handle repair lists and tenancy changeovers gives landlords and agents a reason to get in touch, and that work often turns into regular jobs.
Should I put my prices on my website?
It is worth showing how you charge, even if you don’t list a price for every job. An hourly rate, a half-day rate or a minimum charge helps people decide before they call.
Is the Classic package enough for a handyman?
For most, yes. The Classic Website at £30 a month including VAT gives you up to 15 pages and a contact form, and we handle hosting and support.
Can I cancel if I need to?
Yes. There is no minimum term and no setup fee.
