A website for an electrician — win the trust check
Electrical work is a trust purchase. A customer is letting a stranger into their home, or signing off work that has to be safe. Your website has one job: prove you are qualified, insured, and local, then make it easy to book you. Sorted Online writes and publishes that site for you in minutes — your own domain and forwarding email included, £15 a month by UK Direct Debit.
What an electrician's website actually needs
- Your qualifications, stated plainly. 18th Edition, Part P registration, NICEIC or NAPIT membership, and your registration number. This is the first thing a careful customer looks for.
- Insurance and accreditations. Public liability cover, and any scheme badges you can legitimately display.
- The work you do. Rewires, consumer-unit upgrades, EICRs, fault finding, EV chargers, lighting, kitchen and bathroom circuits, landlord certificates.
- Emergency and out-of-hours availability. Say clearly whether you take call-outs and how quickly you can get there.
- A simple way to book or ask for a quote. One button, one short form.
What customers type before they call you
They search with a job and a place: "electrician near me", "EICR [town]", "consumer unit replacement [city]", "EV charger installer [town]". They rarely search for "electrical services". Name the jobs you do and the towns you cover, and put your registration details where they are always visible.
Why the trust check decides the job
For most trades, price decides. For electrical work, safety decides. A customer comparing three electricians will pick the one whose website makes them feel safe — because the alternative is someone they cannot verify. A proper site with your qualifications, your insurance, and a few recent jobs does that work before you pick up the phone.
What it costs
£15 a month for your website, your own domain, and forwarding email on that domain, paid by UK Direct Debit through GoCardless. Nothing to pay at sign-up. See what a small business website usually costs to compare with paying an agency or a builder.

A word on qualifications and honesty
Only display schemes and registrations you genuinely hold, and keep the numbers current. Claiming an accreditation you do not have is a fast way to lose a job — and, for electrical work, a legal problem. Your site should be the most trustworthy version of your business, not a wish list.
Next step
Start your website. Your first site is usually live within minutes of finishing the form. Keep your existing domain if you have one — we will connect it for you.
