About

Sitelad is the website your trade actually needs.

We build websites for UK tradespeople. One template, themed by your colours, copy, and logo. Live in ten minutes. No agency, no four-week wait, no contract that needs a solicitor to escape.

A note from the founder

I’m Chris. I grew up watching family on the tools and I’ve spent the last decade-and-a-bit building software. Every trade I know has the same three problems with their website: it cost too much, it took too long, and they can’t edit it without ringing someone. Sitelad is what I wished they’d had ten years ago.

Why we exist

The trade-website market is broken in two directions. At one end, cookie-cutter directory pages that all look identical and lock you in. At the other end, agencies charging four-figure setup fees for a site that looks lovely and is almost impossible to update.

Sitelad sits in the middle. One sturdy template. Your branding. Claude drafts your copy in a voice that sounds like a tradesperson, not a marketing agency. You edit it, hit publish, and you’re live.

We don’t hold your stuff hostage. Bring your own domain on any plan. If we registered a .co.uk for you on Pro, we transfer it back the day you cancel.

What we’re not

  • Not an agency. We won’t book you in for a brand workshop or sell you a six-month content programme.
  • Not a designer. The template’s sturdy, mobile-first, and accessible. We don’t do custom design for v1.
  • Not a marketing consultant. We don’t do SEO retainers, paid ads, or growth strategy. We do the bits a website should do, properly.
  • A tool. You bring the trade. We bring the site.
