Website builder
Website builder for electricians
Rewires, panel upgrades, EV chargers — the jobs you take, the area you cover, and a way to ask for a price.
Most electricians' websites list "domestic and commercial" and stop. The customer wanted to know whether you do EV chargers, whether you cover their postcode, and whether you're certified.
Describe the business and those three answers get built into the page — the jobs, the area, the certifications — with a quote form underneath that arrives as an email and a record.
What they came for
What people want from a electrical business website
Four questions a visitor arrives with. Everything below is what the generated page does about them.
Do you do this specific job?
EV chargers, consumer units, fault-finding, an EICR for a landlord — each is a row in the services table, which is what somebody can search for and recognise.
Are you certified?
The certifications section carries the ones you hold — NICEIC, NAPIT, Part P, your insurance — near the top, where they change whether the call is made.
Do you come out here?
The coverage area is stated plainly rather than implied by an address, because a postcode is the first thing that rules you out.
What does the work look like when it's finished?
A gallery, and a before/after slider for the jobs where the difference is the whole argument — a rewired board next to what it replaced.
Common problems
What tends to go wrong on electrical business websites
Three patterns that come up often. None of them is a design problem, and each is a sentence or two of work to fix.
The certifications are in the footer
Registration is one of the things a customer checks for, and in a footer it is easy to miss. It carries more weight next to the services than under the copyright line.
No mention of EV chargers
"All electrical work" does not match a search for a specific job. Naming them — EV chargers, consumer units, EICRs — matches the words people type.
The gallery is stock photographs of wires
A stock close-up of cable is decoration. A photograph of a board you replaced shows the standard of the work.
What gets built
What a electrical business website needs
The sections Sitemo plans for electricians, in the order it puts them on the page.
The opening screen
The first screen: a photograph of the real place, the name, and the one thing you want a visitor to do next.
The facts people decide on
The handful of facts a visitor decides on — walk-ins welcome, open Sundays, free parking, fully insured.
Services
What you sell, with prices. A list when there are many, cards with photographs when there are a few.
Your story
The short version of why the place exists, in your voice rather than a company profile.
Gallery
The work, the room, the finished job. Laid out as a set, so one good photograph isn't carrying the whole page.
The ask
The line that asks for the call, the booking or the visit.
Testimonials
Room for the reviews you already have. Your words from your customers — nothing invented to fill the space.
FAQ
The questions you answer on the phone all day, answered once on the page.
Contact form
An enquiry that reaches you as an email and is kept as a record you can open later.
Not a fixed list. Sitemo decides which of these your site actually needs from what you describe — a electrical business with four things to sell gets a different page from one with forty.
Underneath the page
And the parts that aren't pages
Most electricians need somewhere to keep this. It comes with the site rather than being a plugin you go and find.
Each one is a table you edit in your dashboard — change a price, add a service, take something off the list — and the published site follows. Enquiries arrive as an email and are kept as records you can search later, so nothing is lost because an inbox was busy.
The words
The same line, written twice
A general version of a line and a specific one, both about the same length. The difference is how much a visitor can do with it.
General
“All aspects of electrical work undertaken.”
Specific
“Rewires, consumer unit upgrades, EV chargers and landlord EICRs. NICEIC registered.”
A named job matches the search somebody types; a general phrase matches fewer of them.
General
“Competitive rates.”
Specific
“£65 first hour, £45 after. EICR for a two-bed flat, £140.”
A published rate is one fewer thing to explain on the phone.
The prices and areas above are made-up examples; what is being shown is the shape of the sentence. Yours go in the box below, and the site is written from them.

Questions
Websites for electricians
- Can I list specific jobs rather than 'domestic and commercial'?
- Yes, and you should — the services section is a real list you control, so "EV charger installation" is a line someone can search for and find.
- Can I show before and after photos?
- Yes. There is a before/after section that puts the same job on one slider, alongside a gallery for finished work.
- Can I connect the site to my own domain?
- Yes, with the certificate issued and renewed for you. Until then the site is live on a Sitemo address, so nothing is waiting on DNS.
- Can I have a landlord section separate from homeowners?
- Yes. They are different services with different words, and either can have its own section or its own page — ask for it in chat and the links are added across the site.
- How do I know an enquiry arrived?
- By email, immediately, and it is kept as a record in your dashboard with everything the form asked for. Nothing depends on you having seen a notification.
- Can I change the copy without breaking the layout?
- Yes. Text is edited by clicking it on the page, and the layout is a structure rather than a hand-positioned design — a longer sentence reflows instead of pushing something off the screen.
Where this isn't the right tool
There is no certificate issuing, no test-result storage and no compliance paperwork here. Keep the software that does your EICRs. Sitemo is the site that gets the enquiry and stores it — the part most sole traders are missing entirely.
