Website Design & Build | Salvo — Marketing for Trades Businesses

Why most trades websites fail

You've seen them. Template sites with your company name dropped in. Slow loading pages. Looks terrible on mobile. No clear call to action. They're cheap to set up, and they show — your website looks like everyone else's, just with different colours.

The real problem? They don't convert. A potential customer lands on your site, gets frustrated, and calls the first roofer/plumber/electrician they found on Google instead. That might be you, but it could easily be your competitor.

Homeowners expect a professional website. They're making big decisions when they hire someone for a roof, a kitchen remodel, solar panels. A shabby website tells them you're not serious. A fast, professional, mobile-friendly website tells them they're in good hands.

How Salvo builds websites differently

Every trade is different. A roofer's website isn't a landscaper's website. So we build custom, from the ground up. Not a template. Not a drag-and-drop builder. A real website built specifically for your business, your trade, and the people you're trying to reach.

Conversion is everything. We don't just make a pretty website — we make a website that turns visitors into phone calls. Clear messaging. Trust signals. Fast loading. Mobile-perfect. Everything is designed to make it easy for homeowners to contact you.

You own it 100%. We build your website for free upfront so you can see exactly what you're getting. Once you're happy, you pay your first retainer and it goes live. The domain, the code, everything — it's yours. If you ever want to leave Salvo, we'll help move it. No lock-in. No surprise costs.

Common Questions

How long does it take to build my website? +

Typically 3-6 weeks from start to launch, depending on your scope and how quickly you're able to provide feedback. We work fast because we know time is money in your business.

Do I really own the website? +

100%. You own the domain, the code, the hosting — everything. If you decide to leave Salvo, we'll help you move it to another provider or host it yourself. No lock-in contracts, no surprises.

What if I want to change things after launch? +

Easy. We maintain your website as part of your retainer. Need to add a service? Update your photos? Change your number? We handle it. Or if you want to manage it yourself, you can — the code is yours.

What if I want to leave Salvo? +

You can leave anytime. Your website comes with you. We'll provide all the code, transfer the domain, and help move it to a new host if you want. We don't hold anything hostage.

Can you help me with photos and content? +

Absolutely. Professional copywriting is included. For photos, we can help you take them, source stock images, or work with your existing photos. We make sure everything looks polished and professional.

Will my website rank on Google? +

Your website will be built for SEO from day one. Fast loading, mobile-optimised, clean code. But SEO takes time. If you want to rank faster and get more traffic, that's where our SEO service comes in. We can start immediately or later — your choice.
