Website Design & Promotion for Tradesmen

INTRODUCTION

Trades UK is an online directory and trade resource for professions within the construction industry.

Essentially Trades UK is an online directory that the general public and businesses can use to identify and contact local tradesmen e.g. painters and decorators, electricians, plumbers etc. In addition, it is a resource for tradesmen themselves to advertise vacancies and seek employment. During the first few months job advertising will be a free service, which will later become chargeable. In the future the website will grow to include information on local tenders, and tradesmen will be able to read and contribute to notice boards, and also have the opportunity to sell unwanted/surplus trade related items on a for sale board.

Trades UK has grown from the need for an online resource for local tradesmen themselves, combined with a competitively priced advertising mechanism. Increasing numbers of independent tradesmen and growing contract opportunities has resulted in increased competition among tradesmen, and in turn job prices being pushed to minimum levels. The knock on effect is reduced advertising and marketing budgets, in an environment where advertising for work is paramount to secure new customers and remain in business. The concept has quickly grown to a resource covering the whole of the UK that is easily navigated down to local level.
