01Show the value of your work
Selected photographs, details and the story behind a project help visitors understand your techniques, materials and finishing.
For a craftsperson: show a restoration, its stages and the result, rather than an isolated photograph.
02Give people reasons to trust you
An introduction to the person or team, genuine examples and clear contact details give visitors useful points of reference.
For a business: explain who does the work, how a project unfolds and how to get in touch.
03Encourage relevant enquiries
Explain your services, the projects you take on and where you work, so visitors can judge whether you can help.
For a workshop: describe the types of pieces and work you handle before someone requests a quote.
04Give search engines a place to find you
Accessible pages, precise text and a clear structure give search engines information they can explore about your practice.
A page about your craft can explain your services and area. Search engines decide whether to index it and where to rank it.
05Make first contact easier
A visible phone number, email link or appropriate form helps visitors talk about a project without searching for the right way to reach you.
Depending on scope: collect a project type, location or useful details to prepare a reply.
06Reduce repeated explanations
Information about your services, opening hours, travel area or project stages can be read before someone calls you.
Visitors can prepare an enquiry when it suits them, including outside your working hours.
07Make your work easier to explore
Comfortable reading on a phone, readable contrasts and understandable navigation make your content easier to use.
On a mobile, explore a few projects and then find a call button or directions.
08Bring your online presence together
Your domain gives you a reference address to share on cards, quotations, social media and other communications.
One place for your introduction, projects and contact details, alongside your other channels.
09Keep up with changes in your practice
A new service, recent projects or a change of team can fit into a website whose structure has been planned around your content.
Catalogues, online shops, booking and business tools can be explored later, with an agreed scope and quotation.
