Before you choose

What to look for in a website under £10 a month

Nine things worth checking, whoever you go with.

  1. 1

    The real monthly cost

    Look past the headline price: is there a set-up fee, does the price go up after the first months, and are forms, bookings or your own web address extra?

  2. 2

    No long contract

    Monthly, with no minimum term and no exit fee, so you can leave if it is not bringing in work. Be wary of 12 or 24 month agreements for a website.

  3. 3

    Made for phones

    Most people look for a tradesperson on a phone, often in a hurry. Your number should be one tap away on every page.

  4. 4

    Brings in jobs, not just looks nice

    A quote form that asks the questions you would ask on the phone, a call button for emergencies and the towns you cover, so the enquiries you get are the ones you want.

  5. 5

    Your reviews and your photos

    Photos of your own work and what your customers say about you do more selling than any clever words.

  6. 6

    Your own web address

    yourname.co.uk looks more trustworthy than a long address on someone else's site, and you can keep it if you ever move.

  7. 7

    Set up properly for Google

    Page titles, a sitemap and structured data built from what your site shows. Nobody can honestly promise you first place on Google, so be wary of anyone who does.

  8. 8

    Somewhere to keep the enquiries

    Enquiries that land in one list with each customer's history, instead of getting lost between texts, emails and voicemails.

  9. 9

    See it before you pay

    The safest way to choose is to see your own website first. If a provider will not show you anything until you have paid, ask why.

How Moon compares

Your options, side by side

The usual ways a tradesperson gets a website, and what each one means for your money and your time.

  • A web designer

    A website made just for you, usually for several hundred pounds or more up front, with hosting and later changes often charged on top. You wait for it, and you pay before you see the finished site.

  • A do-it-yourself website builder

    Low starting prices are common, but check what the cheapest plan leaves out (quote forms, bookings, your own web address), whether the price rises after the first year, and how many evenings it will take you to build.

  • Only a Facebook page or a directory listing

    Free and quick, but you do not control it, it looks like everyone else's, and enquiries end up spread across different apps.

  • Moon Websites

    You answer a few questions and see your own website straight away, free, with no card needed. When you go live it is from £9.99 a month, with no set-up fee. Every plan has every feature, it is monthly with no minimum term and no exit fee, and the website comes with Moon HQ to keep every enquiry, customer, call and payment in one place.
