Are you looking for Website and SEO services in
Devon is one of the UK’s largest counties, stretching from bustling cities like Exeter and Plymouth to the charming coastal towns and rural villages of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Customers here are constantly searching online for services like plumbers in Torquay, electricians in Barnstaple, and roofers in Exmouth. Without a strong website and SEO campaign, your business risks being invisible when these searches are made.
At Local Trades Websites, we specialise in building websites that generate enquiries and running SEO strategies that help your business stand out in Google search results.
Our Devon services include:
From landscapers in Tiverton to carpenters in Totnes, our websites are built to attract local customers and grow your business.
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
Devon is a county with enormous potential for tradespeople, offering a mix of urban demand and rural opportunity. In Exeter, homeowners and landlords are frequently looking for plumbers, electricians, and builders to maintain and improve properties. Plymouth, with its mix of residential, commercial, and naval areas, provides a steady flow of work for decorators, roofers, and cleaners. Coastal towns like Torquay, Paignton, and Exmouth attract tourists and second-home owners, creating strong demand for services such as property maintenance, cleaning, and garden landscaping.
Trades can thrive here with the right online strategy. For example, a roofer in Exeter could dominate local search results by targeting phrases like “roof repairs Exeter” and “flat roofing Devon.” A painter in Plymouth could use service pages to attract both domestic and commercial projects, while a cleaner in Torquay could build repeat contracts by targeting Airbnb and holiday let owners who need regular cleaning. A joiner in Totnes could showcase bespoke carpentry projects with galleries and testimonials to attract premium clients.
This approach works because we don’t just build one generic site. We create a whole structure of service and location-based landing pages that cover every town and trade you want to target. We proved this system when we worked with traditionalcarpentry.uk, where we created over 1,400 SEO-optimised pages across Kent and London. This generated a surge in enquiries and built long-term growth. We can do the same for your Devon business.
Devon’s property market makes it an ideal location for trades to prosper. From modern developments around Exeter and Plymouth to centuries-old cottages in Dartmoor and seaside homes in Salcombe, there’s a wide demand for services. By tailoring your website and SEO campaign to match these local needs, you can ensure you’re the first name people find when they search for help.
Our websites are designed not only to rank but also to convert visitors into paying customers. Every build includes enquiry forms, review sections, and click-to-call buttons, giving customers an easy way to contact you. We also provide ongoing SEO improvements so that your rankings keep growing and enquiries remain consistent.
If you’re relying on directories like Checkatrade or hoping for word-of-mouth alone, you’re limiting your business growth. With a Devon-focused website and SEO strategy, you can take control of your online presence and generate predictable, long-term enquiries.
