The Handyman Network - helping plumbers, decorators, electricians, gardeners and handymen start their business online and create a website.

You are here: Home > Designing your website

What is included in your website

The standard Azure Handyman Network website comprises of the following pages:

Home page
Services page with various sections of your choice eg. decorating, plumbing etc
Testimonials
Contact

Any further pages you request will be charged with a one-off fee of £75 for each additional page. You can add these at any time during your contract and they don't necessarily have to be included to get your initial web site off the ground.

Writing the text for your site

On your application form, you advise us of the wording you would like included in your website. Try to keep the content of your pages brief, as people don't have the same attention span online as they do when reading a book or magazine.

We will advise you if we feel that your text is too lengthy or not likely to be effective.

What each page should contain

Home page: this is the first page that your visitors are likely to land on and should give a brief overview of your services, location and anything else which you feel is important for the visitor to know, eg. whether you have indemnity insurance or not.

Services page: this is where you can list all the services that you provide and what they encompass. For example, you may state Decorating as one of your services, in which case you may want to cite Painting, Tiling, Wallpapering, Grouting, Re-sealing as services that you are able to provide.

Testimonials: if ever a customer thanks you for doing a good job, you should ask if you can state them in a testimonial. Other potential customers looking at your website are then able to see that you have had good feedback from the work you have done, and this can be a strong incentive to use you for their own jobs.

Contact: this should include details of how people can contact you and the hours that you are usually available.
