What it costs
What an electrician website should cost
An electrician's site earns its keep by proving you are certified and by matching each job type someone searches for. Here is what that costs and what the money actually buys.
From £297, live in 7 days, on your own domain.
Electrician website cost
The short answer on cost
An electrician website cost starts from £297 for a spec-built site on your own domain, live within seven days, with the first three months of care included. That sits below the agency quotes of several thousand and above the near-free page builders, both of which mislead you. But for an electrician, the number to focus on is not the price, it is what the site does with two things unique to this trade: your certification, and the sheer spread of jobs you cover. A good site turns both into work, and that is what you are really buying.
Electrical work is different from most trades in two ways that shape the whole site. First, customers cannot judge your work and the stakes are safety, so your certification is your single strongest trust signal, and the site has to lead with it. Second, you cover a huge range of jobs, from a fuse board upgrade to a landlord EICR to an EV charger, and people search for the exact one. A site built to prove certification and match each job wins far more than a generic page. Priced against that, a few hundred pounds is trivial.
What the build price covers
When I quote from £297 to build an electrician’s site, the money buys the two things that actually win electrical work.
It buys certification made prominent. Your registration with a recognised scheme is the thing that reassures a customer who cannot judge the work themselves and knows the stakes are safety. The build puts that front and centre, explained in plain terms, so trust is established fast.
It buys a page for every job type. EICRs, rewires, fuse board upgrades, EV chargers, fault-finding, commercial work, landlord safety certificates, each is its own search and its own customer. Dedicated pages match those searches and let you speak to each customer properly, which a single catch-all page cannot.
It buys speed and a clean, professional structure, so people find you, trust you and reach you without friction.
Why the job spread makes structure worth paying for
The instinct is to see a website as one page about your business. For an electrician that badly undersells what a site should do, because your work is not one thing, it is a dozen different jobs with a dozen different customers searching for them.
Someone wanting a landlord EICR is not the same customer as someone wanting an EV charger fitted or a full rewire. They search different terms, have different concerns, and decide differently. A site with a proper page for each of your main job types matches all of those searches and speaks to each customer directly, which is why it wins far more work than a generic page listing “electrical services”. That structure is skilled to build well and is most of what your build fee pays for. It is also exactly what the cheap page builders make hardest to do.
The landlord EICR angle alone can justify it
Here is a cost argument specific to electricians. Private landlords in England must have an electrical safety inspection, an EICR, at least every five years and at a change of tenancy. That is a large, recurring, legally-driven demand, and landlords actively search for it. A clear EICR page that explains the requirement and makes booking easy can capture a steady stream of this work that many electricians overlook.
That recurring demand alone can cover the cost of the whole site many times over. It is predictable, it repeats, and it comes from people who have to buy, not people you have to persuade. Building a site that captures it well is one of the highest-return decisions an electrician can make, and it reframes the cost entirely: not an expense, but a way to plug into demand the law itself creates.
Agencies, WordPress and the ongoing cost
At the top end, an agency will quote thousands and imply it buys quality. Most of that is overhead that does nothing for your certification or your job pages, and many build on WordPress, which needs ongoing patching. A static electrician site has nothing to patch and almost nothing to break, so you avoid that entirely. A domain is ten to fifteen pounds a year and yours; my care plan is £49 a month for hosting, backups and small edits, so you can add a service page or update a qualification without a separate bill. Both optional, no surprise invoices.
Weigh it against your job mix
Here is the right way to think about an electrician website cost. Do not weigh it against zero or against an agency quote. Weigh it against your actual job mix. A single rewire is worth many times the build. The recurring landlord EICR work is worth it again and again. Win one job you would otherwise have missed, because you looked properly certified and matched the exact search, and the site has paid for itself, and it keeps doing so across every job type you cover. For a trade this varied and this trust-dependent, a few hundred pounds for a site that proves your certification and matches every search is one of the smartest, quickest-returning things you can buy.

Common questions
Questions I get asked.
How much does an electrician website cost?
I build them from £297 as a one-off, live on your own domain within seven days, with the first three months of care included. After that it is £49 a month for hosting and small edits, which you can stop any time. For a trade with steady domestic, commercial and landlord work, that is a small cost against the jobs a clear, certified-looking site brings in.
What am I paying for in an electrician website build?
Two things above all: a site that puts your certification front and centre so customers trust you, and a proper page for each type of work you do, from EICRs to EV chargers to rewires. People search for the specific job and judge you on whether you look qualified, so most of the value is in getting those two things right, not in decoration.
Why do some electrician websites cost thousands?
Agencies bundle designers, managers and often a WordPress build, none of which makes you look more certified or match job searches any better. You are paying their overheads. An electrician needs a fast, clear site that shows your registration and gives each job type its own page, not an enterprise build, and paying enterprise prices for one is money better spent elsewhere.
Is a cheap DIY electrician website good enough?
Usually not. Page builders are generic and slow, and they make it hard to structure the job-specific pages that let you rank for EICRs, rewires, EV chargers and the rest. They also rarely present your certification convincingly. For a trade where looking qualified and matching specific searches are the whole point, a cheap template undercuts both.
Are there ongoing costs beyond the build?
A domain is about ten to fifteen pounds a year and you own it. My monthly plan covers hosting, backups and up to two small edits, so you can add a service page or update a qualification without a separate bill. Nothing is hidden, and a static site has almost nothing to break, so there are no surprise maintenance invoices.
How quickly does an electrician website pay for itself?
Usually fast, because of the job mix. A single rewire or a run of landlord EICRs is worth many times the build cost, and the recurring EICR demand alone can cover it. Win one job you would otherwise have missed, because you looked certified and matched the search, and the site has paid for itself.
Do I own the electrician website or rent it?
You own it outright. The domain is in your name and the site is yours to keep even if you stop the monthly plan. I do not lock people in. The site that proves your certification and wins your work should belong to you, not be rented back every month.
