Web design · Essex

Web design in Essex that wins you work.

A fast, mobile-first website built from scratch around your trade, not a generic site with your logo dropped on it.

Built for plumbers, electricians, builders and trades across Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood and the rest of Essex, designed to get you found, look credible and make people pick up the phone.

  • Mobile-first builds
  • Custom-built
  • Fast by default
  • Essex-based
See the difference

Two websites. Only one gets picked.

Both call themselves “a website.” Customers only act on one of them.

Most trade websites
  • Slow to load
  • Hard to read on a phone
  • No clear next step
A Built By Tel websiteWhat you get
  • Fast, every time
  • Built mobile-first
  • One obvious call to action
What's included

Everything a trade website actually needs.

  • A site structured around your actual trade and services
  • Mobile-first design: most enquiries start on a phone
  • Real project photography, not stock builder images
  • Clear calls to action on every page: call, WhatsApp, quote
  • Fast page loads and clean, semantic code
Built to perform

Every site is built to hit this bar.

A slow, clunky site loses customers before they've read a word. Speed and accessibility aren't an upgrade. They're the standard, on every build.

Common questions

Still deciding?

How long does a website take to build?

It depends on the size of the site and how quickly I get content and photos from you, but most trade websites are ready to launch within a few weeks of kick-off.

Do I need to write the content myself?

No. I'll draft the copy around a conversation with you about your business. You check it, I adjust it, and it goes live once you're happy.

Do you only build websites for businesses in Essex?

Essex is where I'm based and where most of my work is: Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend and the towns between. A well-built website works just as hard anywhere, so I take on businesses outside Essex too.

Is a good website enough to get me found on Google, or do I need SEO as well?

A fast, well-structured site is the foundation everything else builds on, but ranking locally also depends on your Google Business Profile and ongoing local SEO work. That's a separate service, covered on its own page.

Covering Basildon, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend and everywhere between.
