What people want from a handyman's website
People call a handyman with a list. Shelves, a sticking door, flat-pack, a dripping tap, a fence panel. What they want to know is whether you'll do small jobs, whether you'll turn up, and roughly what it costs. Most handyman sites either list everything under the sun or nothing at all.
Get it right with:
- A clear list of the jobs you do, and the jobs you don't. Saying "no gas, no rewiring" builds trust.
- How you price: hourly, a fixed price per job, or a minimum charge.
- The area you cover.
- A way to send the list: an enquiry form or a WhatsApp with photos.
What's in your handyman site
Pick "Handyman" and the factory starts with odd jobs, flat-pack assembly, shelves and curtain poles, small repairs, painting touch-ups and garden jobs. Edit to taste.
- The Tin: one page with your jobs, your area and a "send us your list" button.
- The Proper Tin: Home, Services, About, a gallery and Contact. Before-and-after photos do the selling here.
- The Big Tin: a page each for your main jobs (flat-pack assembly and TV mounting often get searched on their own), your areas and FAQs.
Worth adding, if it's true for you
- Public liability insurance.
- Your rates, or at least where they start.
- What you don't do, such as gas, notifiable electrical work or big structural jobs. Say who people should call instead.
- DBS check, if you've got one. Some customers, especially older ones living alone, look for it.
- Your own tools and van, if that's a selling point.
- Real photos of finished jobs.
- Genuine reviews from Google, Facebook or Checkatrade. Send them over and we'll add them on request. We never make any up.
What your customers search for
"Handyman near me", "flat pack assembly" and "odd job man" plus a town. A page per common job and a list of your areas give Google more to match. We set up your Business Profile and build the site so Google can read it. Page one? Nobody honest promises that.

Yes, through WhatsApp from the site. The enquiry form sends you the details by email.
Do I have to show my prices?
No. Show an hourly rate, a minimum charge, or nothing at all.
Can I use my own domain?
No. A new domain costing under £20 is included and registered in your name.
How do I update it?
Request changes through the magic link sent to your email. Small edits are part of the monthly care.
