Carpenter and joiner websites you build yourself, free for 14 days
"Carpenter" covers everything from hanging a door to building a staircase, and a customer cannot tell from your van which one you are. Build a one page website for your carpentry or joinery business that says exactly what you make and fit, shows it, and explains how a quote works. About 2 minutes to build, free for 14 days, £299 once if you keep it.

What a customer needs to know before they ring a carpenter
The searches are specific: door hanging, fitted wardrobes, alcove cupboards, under stairs storage, staircase renovation, sash window repair, skirting and architrave, decking, garden rooms. Someone who wants alcove units is not looking for a first fix site carpenter, and the other way round.
Say what kind of carpenter you are
Site carpentry, second fix and doors, fitted furniture, bespoke joinery from your own workshop, or outdoor timber work. Lead with the work you want more of and list the rest underneath.
Photos that show the joinery
A scribed fit against a wonky wall, a tight mitre, a door with even gaps all round. Add a caption with the timber or board used and the finish. Detail is what separates you from flat pack.
How a bespoke quote works
Explain the steps: a visit to measure, a drawing or sketch, a written price, a deposit for materials, then making and fitting. Customers who have never commissioned anything made to measure need to see the process.
What goes on a good one page site for carpenters and joiners
Fitted furniture customers also compare you against the national fitted wardrobe companies and against flat pack. Your page should make the difference obvious: made to fit the actual room, the materials named, and one person responsible from measuring to fitting.
- Your main line of work first: site, second fix, fitted furniture or bespoke joinery
- Each service named the way customers search for it
- Photos of your own work with a line on materials and finish
- Whether you have a workshop, and what you make there
- How quoting works for made to measure work
- The smallest job you take (one door, or whole projects only)
- The towns you cover
- Tap to call, WhatsApp and email buttons
Carpenter and Joiner website
Free to build and free for 14 days. Then £299 once if you keep it. No monthly fee, hosting included, no card up front. If you do not pay, it is switched off and nothing is charged.
Accreditations and trust marks worth showing
Useful marks for carpenters and joiners are real ones you can evidence: a City and Guilds or NVQ in carpentry and joinery, membership of the Institute of Carpenters or the Guild of Master Craftsmen, and a CSCS card if you want site work. If you run a joinery workshop, the British Woodworking Federation (BWF) is the trade body.
If you replace external windows and doors, customers need a Building Regulations certificate, so FENSA or Certass registration is worth showing. If you fit fire doors, say what training or third party certification you hold (BM TRADA Q Mark and FIRAS are the known schemes), because landlords and managing agents will ask. Public liability insurance, with the amount, belongs on every page.
Mistakes carpenters and joiners make online
- Calling the business "carpentry and building services" and listing twenty things, so nobody knows what you are best at.
- Photos of whole kitchens where you only fitted the worktops, which sets the wrong expectation.
- No captions, so a customer cannot tell oak from veneered MDF or sprayed from hand painted.
- Not saying whether you take small jobs, which means calls about one sticking door when you only want full projects (or the reverse).
- No explanation of deposits and lead times for bespoke work, which then becomes an awkward conversation later.

Carpenter and Joiner website FAQs
Questions carpenters and joiners ask me. Anything else? Send me a message.
I do both site carpentry and bespoke joinery. Can one page cover both?
Yes, but lead with the one you want more of. Put that work in the headline and the first photos, then list the other as a second group of services further down. A page that tries to give both equal billing tends to read as vague to both kinds of customer.
What photos work best for a carpenter or joiner?
Finished pieces photographed straight on in good light, plus close ups of the details: scribes, mitres, door gaps, drawer runners, the inside of a wardrobe. A short caption naming the material and finish tells the customer more than another wide shot.
Is it really free to build?
Yes. You build the site yourself in the builder in about 2 minutes, and it is free for 14 days. There is no card up front. If you keep it, it is £299 once, with no monthly fee and hosting included. If you do not pay, the site is switched off and nothing is charged.
What happens after 14 days?
If you want to keep the site, you pay £299 once and it goes live on its own address within 24 hours of payment. There is no monthly fee and hosting is included. The domain name itself is not included (about £8 to £15 a year), but connecting it is free. If you do not pay, the site is switched off and nothing is charged.
Should I show prices for things like door hanging?
For repeatable jobs like hanging an internal door or fitting a lock, a from price is helpful and filters enquiries. For bespoke work, give a typical range or a recent example with its price if you are comfortable, and explain what moves the cost: size, material, finish and access.
Can I mention that I fit fire doors?
Yes, if you are trained to. Say which training or third party certification you hold and that you fit to the door manufacturer's instructions with the correct hardware and seals. Landlords and managing agents search for this specifically and will want that detail before they ring.
