Building a website to find hat suppliers, we can go down one of 2 routes
1st make a site such as I do for a tradesman. ( £10 + VAT a month cancel any time after 12 months)
Bare bones
Home – Overview of your services, quick contact info, and trust signals (reviews, certifications, images).
Services – Detailed breakdown of what you offer, with clear pricing or a “Get a Quote” option.
About – Your background, qualifications, and why customers should trust you.
Gallery / Portfolio – Photos of completed work (very important for trades).
Contact – Phone, email, contact form, service area, and possibly a map.
Alternatvly we create the full website from the word go.
