Helping local tradespeople grow their business with powerful, lead- generating websites and ongling SEO
Are you looking for Website and SEO services in
Cumbria is a county full of opportunity for trades, from the busy city of Carlisle to the tourist hubs of the Lake District and the smaller villages dotted across its countryside. Customers are constantly turning to Google to find trusted local services such as plumbers in Penrith, carpenters in Kendal, and roofers in Workington. Without a strong website and SEO, your business risks being invisible when those searches are made.
At Local Trades Websites, we specialise in designing websites that generate enquiries and running SEO campaigns that make your business stand out.
Our Cumbria services include:
Whether you’re a landscaper in Keswick, a decorator in Barrow-in-Furness, or an electrician in Whitehaven, we’ll help you attract more customers online.
What We Offer
We don’t just build websites that look the part, we build websites that work hard behind the scenes too. My focus is on creating high-converting, high-performing websites that turn browsers into buyers and bring in consistent organic traffic.
Our websites are built to rank well on Google, with PageSpeed scores between 95–100% on PC, technical SEO baked in, and weekly updates to keep your content fresh and relevant. Every site is created with purpose, designed to outrank competitors and win you real business.
Unlike agencies that pump out hundreds of cookie-cutter sites and never touch them again, we don’t take on every project. Those mass-produced sites might look polished but they rarely rank, especially if you're trying to show up in "tradesperson near me" searches.
We specialise in trades websites, for builders, electricians, plumbers, joiners, roofers, window fitters, and more. We only work with a limited number of clients, ensuring every site gets the ongoing SEO care, new content, and technical upkeep it needs to stay ahead in Google’s ever-changing rankings.
If you’re serious about growing online and want a website that’s actively managed, consistently updated, and built to bring in real leads, not just sit there, this is the service for you.
We don’t use off-the-shelf templates. While 43% of the internet runs on WordPress, most of those sites end up looking exactly the same. We take a different approach. Your website will be fully custom-designed, built with inspiration from our top-performing projects, and brought to life with Webflow for a smooth, standout experience that reflects your trade business.
Most website developmers do not focus heavily on on-site and local SEO. We Do!!! ensuring your website ranks for phrases like "[your trade] near me." From meta tags and internal links to keyword-rich content and mobile optimisation, we aim to push every SEO score as close to 100% as possible. The result? More traffic, higher engagement, and better conversion rates.
A fast, responsive website is no longer optional, it's essential! We make sure your new tradesman website performs flawlessly on all devices; desktop, tablet, and mobile. Google rewards responsive sites with better rankings, which means more organic visitors finding your services.
Animations, when done right, enhance user experience and make your website feel modern and dynamic. We use animations strategically to guide the visitor’s journey, boost interaction, and strengthen your brand image without slowing down the site.
Want to beat your competitors? as any leading website developer would tell you, We’ll analyse who’s ranking above you and why, then build a strategy to outperform them in search results. From backlink profiles to content gaps, we’ll tailor your site to target their weaknesses and claim your space at the top of Google.

We write high-quality, SEO-friendly content for your blog or service pages tailored specifically to your trade. Whether you’re a plumber, joiner, roofer, electrician, tiler, drainer or decorator, we’ll create unique content that shows off your expertise, helps Google index your site, and gives local users something worth reading. You’ll even have access to our ready-to-use image library to save time.

We build hundreds of location-specific landing pages tailored to your trade - plumbing, joinery, roofing, electrics, and more. These pages are designed to target “[your trade] near me” searches, helping you dominate your local area. With custom-written content, smart schema markup, and SEO-driven structure, these pages boost visibility, attract local traffic, and convert browsers into paying customers.

Unlike WordPress sites that often rely on third-party plugins (which can introduce vulnerabilities), we use Webflow to host secure, modern websites. Your site benefits from SSL encryption, automatic updates, DDoS protection, and industry-compliant hosting—keeping your business safe while giving your clients peace of mind.

We integrate Google Analytics and performance tracking tools so you can see exactly how your site is performing. From user behaviour to traffic sources, we help you understand what’s working and where to improve. Over time, this insight allows us to tweak your local trade content, improve conversion paths, and refine your SEO, driving better engagement and more leads.
Are you looking for Website and SEO services in
Cumbria is a county with a unique mix of rural communities, industrial towns, and bustling tourist centres, making it an excellent place for trades of all types to grow. Carlisle, as the county’s largest city, provides constant opportunities for builders, plumbers, and electricians catering to homeowners, landlords, and businesses. In the Lake District, where tourism drives much of the economy, there is a high demand for cleaners, decorators, and maintenance trades to support holiday rentals and second homes. Meanwhile, towns like Kendal, Workington, and Barrow-in-Furness offer steady domestic and commercial opportunities for trades looking to expand their customer base.
A roofer in Penrith could benefit from SEO targeting emergency call-outs during storms, while a tiler in Windermere could capture homeowners modernising kitchens and bathrooms in older properties. A painter in Ambleside could build a client base by targeting searches for high-quality decorating in the Lake District, and a carpet cleaner in Whitehaven could use optimised service pages to generate repeat customers. By creating landing pages for every service and area, we make sure your business shows up when and where it matters most.
This approach has already proven successful. We worked with traditionalcarpentry.uk, where we built over 1,400 SEO landing pages across Kent and London, targeting both towns and services. This strategy transformed their enquiries and created long-term growth that still continues today. The same system can be applied to your Cumbria trade business to ensure consistent visibility across the county.
Cumbria also presents unique challenges for trades, from working on centuries-old cottages in rural villages to servicing modern developments in growing towns. Our websites and SEO strategies adapt to these needs, ensuring that whether your ideal customer is a holiday let owner in Keswick or a family in Carlisle, your business is the one they find.
Unlike one-off builds, our websites are designed for long-term growth. We continue to optimise and improve your site month after month, meaning your rankings grow stronger over time. Each site includes enquiry forms, click-to-call features, and review sections, giving customers confidence to get in touch.
If you’re relying on word-of-mouth or local directories like Checkatrade, you may already know how competitive they can be. With a Cumbria-focused website and SEO package, you’ll take control of your online presence, attract more local customers, and build a sustainable flow of enquiries.
