What it costs
What a window fitter's website should cost
Homeowners collecting window quotes are braced for a hard sell. The site's job is to look like the straight, no-pressure one. Here is what it costs and what you're paying for.
From £297, live in 7 days, on your own domain.
Window fitter website cost
The short answer on cost
A window fitter’s 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, then £49 a month you can stop whenever. That sits below the agency quotes and above the throwaway builders, both of which mislead you. But for a window fitter the number matters less than a peculiarity of your trade: your customer arrives suspicious. Double glazing carries a long reputation for pushy salespeople, inflated quotes and the evening pressure visit, so a homeowner gathering window quotes is on guard from the start, comparing several fitters and quietly hoping one of them will just be straightforward. The site’s whole job is to make you that one. Set against looking like the honest, no-pressure option a wary quote-collector wants to choose, a few hundred pounds is trivial.
What the money buys: distance from the hard sell
The value here is standing apart from a bad reputation, not decoration. That price buys a site that reads as calm, clear and honest: straightforward about what you do, showing real work, free of the pressure and gimmicks the big-firm salespeople trade on. That matters more in window fitting than in most trades, because the customer expects to be sold at, so the fitter who conspicuously is not selling hard stands out and earns trust. A quote-collecting homeowner comparing you against the pushy operators is relieved to find one who looks easy to deal with, and that relief is what tips them your way. What you are paying for is to be the reasonable, no-nonsense fitter in a market where the default expectation is a sales performance, which is exactly the fitter a wary homeowner wants.
Why cheaper and dearer both mislead
The thousand-pound-plus quotes come from big firms carrying heavy marketing overheads, or agencies bundling extras that do nothing for a local fitter competing on being reasonable. The near-free DIY builders go the other way, producing thin, generic sites that a suspicious homeowner reads as a reason to doubt you, which is fatal in a trade already viewed with wariness. Both miss the point. A window fitter needs a site that looks settled, honest and easy to deal with, which is a specific thing to get right, so agency prices waste money and bargain builders undercut the trust a defensive quote-gatherer is looking for.
Paid off by the quote you would have lost
A window job is good value, so the maths is quick. A single job, won because a homeowner picked you as the honest, no-pressure quote over a pushier rival, covers the build easily, and because the impression is permanent it keeps working, drawing the next wary quote-collector to the fitter who looks easiest to trust. Set against the value of the jobs a straightforward, reassuring site wins from a suspicious market, the modest cost is an easy decision for a fitter whose edge, against the hard sell, is simply looking like the reasonable one.

Common questions
Questions I get asked.
How much does a window fitter's website cost?
From £297 as a one-off, live on your own domain within seven days, then £49 a month for hosting and small edits you can stop any time, with the first three months included. In a trade where homeowners collect several quotes and dread the pressure, that is a small price for a site that makes you look like the straight, no-nonsense fitter they would rather deal with.
What am I really paying for with a window fitter's website?
A way to stand apart from the hard sell. Double glazing has a reputation for pushy salespeople and evening pressure visits, so a homeowner gathering quotes is wary and drawn to whoever seems honest and straightforward. You are paying for a site that positions you as the transparent, no-pressure fitter, which is exactly what a quote-collecting homeowner is hoping to find.
Why does the hard-sell reputation affect the value?
Because it means homeowners approach the whole trade defensively, so the fitter who looks the least like the stereotype wins their trust. A site that is clear, calm and free of pressure tactics reassures a wary quote-gatherer that dealing with you will be easy, which is worth a great deal in a market where the default expectation is a sales performance. That reassurance is what you are buying.
Why do some window fitter websites cost thousands?
The big double glazing firms carry the marketing overheads their prices reflect, and agencies bundle in extras that do nothing for a local fitter. A lean, honest site that shows your work and your straightforward approach does the real job for a fraction of the price, so the large quotes rarely make sense for an independent fitter competing on being the reasonable option.
Is a cheap DIY window fitter website good enough?
Usually not, because a wary homeowner reads a thin, generic site as a reason to doubt you, and doubt is the last thing you want in a trade already viewed with suspicion. You need a site that looks settled and trustworthy so a quote-gatherer feels safe choosing you, and a cheap DIY job tends to undercut exactly that reassurance.
Are there ongoing costs beyond the build?
The domain is about ten to fifteen pounds a year and stays yours. The £49 monthly plan covers hosting, backups and two small edits, so you can update your work or offers without a separate bill. A static site has almost nothing to break, so there are no surprise maintenance invoices waiting for you.
How quickly does a window fitter's website pay for itself?
Usually fast, because a window job is good value, so a single one won because a homeowner picked you as the honest quote covers the build easily. Win one job you would otherwise have lost to a pushier rival and the site has paid for itself, and the trustworthy impression keeps winning the next wary quote-gatherer.
Do I own the window fitter 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, because the site that wins your work should belong to you, not be rented back every month.
