Who is Get A Trades Website? Edinburgh's fixed-quote site builder
Get A Trades Website is an Edinburgh-based web design business run by a founder named only as Gary, which builds sites for tradespeople across Scotland and the rest of the UK. Unusually, it publishes a full price list, from £149 quick-start sites to tailored builds past £3,000. Here is what the agency says about itself.
The price list, which is the story
Few trades web designers put numbers on the page. Get A Trades Website does, and in detail. According to its website, quick-start sites cost £149 for one page, £299 for three and £499 for five. Tailored sites typically run from £750 to £3,000 or more. An SEO tune-up is £39 a month and managed SEO starts at £149 a month.
Every job is a fixed quote and the client owns the finished site. That combination, published tiers plus ownership, is rarer than it should be, which is why the agency features in our comparison of trades agencies that publish prices.

Based in Edinburgh, selling UK-wide
The business is in Edinburgh and says it works with trades across the UK. Its founder, Gary, also runs a Scottish trades directory, which the site mentions as a related venture. No founding date is published and no team is listed, so the reasonable assumption is that Gary builds the sites himself.
For a tradesperson north of the border, a local designer who understands Scottish towns and trades is a practical plus. For an English firm, the location matters less than the price and the process.
How the content gets written
One detail stands out in the agency's positioning: content is written from the client's own notes and photos. The tradesperson supplies the raw material, the agency shapes it. That tends to produce more credible pages than stock copy, and it avoids the problem of twenty roofers sharing the same paragraph.
It also means the client has to do some work. If you cannot find an hour to jot down your services, areas and a few job photos, the site will stall at your end rather than theirs.
Beyond the website
Alongside design, redesigns and migrations, the agency lists hosting plans, Google Business Profile optimisation and a trades business portal covering quotes, invoices, leads and reviews. The portal is the most interesting item on the list because it edges the business from web design into the lightweight CRM space that several agencies are now moving into, as discussed in our piece on the rise of fixed-fee trades marketing.
The site does not publish a price for the portal, so ask whether it is bundled with hosting or charged separately.
The trades it names
The list is long: plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, joiners, bricklayers, handymen, decorators, plasterers, tilers, bathroom and kitchen fitters, flooring fitters, gas engineers and landscapers. That is a generalist's spread rather than a specialist's niche. If you want an agency that only does your trade, our ranking of single-trade specialist agencies is the better starting point.
Proof and how to weigh it
The site carries one written case study, for a plumbing and tiling firm, plus links to live client sites across surfacing, plumbing, electrical, carpentry and handyman work. Live sites are useful evidence: you can click through, check the pages load quickly on a phone, and search the client's name plus town to see whether the site actually ranks.
What is missing is any ranking or enquiry data, which is fair enough for a design business that is not selling leads. Judge it as a builder of websites, on the quality and cost of the websites.
Who should consider it
A sole trader or small firm that wants a site it owns, at a price it knows in advance, built by the person it speaks to. The quick-start tiers give a cheap way to get a credible page live; the tailored tier is for firms that have outgrown it. Anyone wanting lead generation, paid ads or a large team should look elsewhere.
