Most customers won't spend long deciding who to contact. They'll search, look at the first few results, and call whoever looks most professional. If your business isn't visible online, you're not in the running.
We build simple, effective websites for tradespeople in Bonnyrigg and across Midlothian — sites that show your services clearly and make it easy for customers to get in touch.
Working in Bonnyrigg
Bonnyrigg has expanded considerably over the past decade, with new housing developments around Hopefield and towards Lasswade bringing in a younger population and a steady stream of home improvement work. At the same time, the older parts of town still generate maintenance demand from established housing stock.
That growth also means more tradespeople competing for local work. Having a website doesn't guarantee you'll win every job — but not having one almost certainly means losing some. Customers who can't verify you quickly will move on to someone they can.

What Matters in a Trades Website
A lot of tradespeople have been let down by websites that look decent but don't actually bring in work. The things that genuinely matter are pretty simple.
- It brings in enquiries — that's the whole point
- It clearly shows what you do and where you work
- It works properly on mobile — most searches happen on a phone
- It loads quickly, even on a slower connection
- It makes it easy for customers to contact you
We don't add features for the sake of it. If you want to understand more about what a trades website costs and what you should expect, we've written about that too.
How It Works
Send over what you have — even rough notes are fine — and we'll shape it into something that works.
- Your trade, the areas you cover, and your main services
- Any photos you have — phone shots from the job are ideal
- We write the content, handle the SEO setup, and build the site
- You get a link to review before it goes live
Most sites are live within 48 hours of getting your details. Packages start at £99 — the pricing is reasonable because it's just Gary doing the work, no agency overheads.

Getting Found on Google in Bonnyrigg
Bonnyrigg sits in a cluster of Midlothian towns — Dalkeith to the north, Penicuik to the south, Gorebridge and Newtongrange nearby. A well-built website can show up for searches across that whole area, not just Bonnyrigg itself.
The key is making sure your services and coverage area are written clearly into the page — not just listed in a footer. Google needs to read it as proper content, not metadata. We build that in from the start. If you'd like ongoing SEO work to improve your rankings over time, take a look at our SEO service, so you're not just visible in Bonnyrigg but across the Midlothian area you actually work in.
Most sites we build start picking up local traffic within a few weeks and continue to build from there. It's not instant, but it's consistent — and it doesn't cost anything once the site is live.
The Property Mix in Bonnyrigg
The older parts of Bonnyrigg — around the town centre and along Bonnyrigg Road — have a mix of interwar and post-war housing that generates steady maintenance work. These properties are at the age where central heating systems, roofing, and electrical installations often need attention.
The newer developments around Hopefield Farm and the Bonnyrigg town expansion areas bring a different type of work — home improvements, extensions, landscaping and the finishing touches that come with people settling into newer homes. For a tradesperson covering Bonnyrigg and the wider Midlothian area, both segments generate consistent work throughout the year.
Working across Midlothian? If you cover Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith, Penicuik and the surrounding towns, a single website can be structured to rank across all of them. We make sure your coverage area is written into the content clearly — not just listed in small print.
There's more detail on what actually makes a trades website work, and if you're comparing a website against just staying on Facebook, this explains the difference.
Common Questions from Bonnyrigg Tradespeople
How quickly can my website go live?
Most sites are live within 48 hours of receiving your details. Send over your trade, the areas you cover and any photos you have — we handle everything else from there.
Will I show up on Google for searches in Bonnyrigg?
Yes — that's the whole point. Every site we build has your trade and location written clearly into the content so Google knows what area you serve. Most Bonnyrigg tradespeople start seeing local traffic within three to six weeks of launch. It builds from there.
What if I also work in Dalkeith or Penicuik?
We build that coverage in from the start. Your site will reflect the areas you actually work in — not just Bonnyrigg. Customers in Dalkeith, Penicuik and anywhere else you cover will find you just as easily.
How much does it cost?
Packages start at £99 for a single-page site — a one-off payment, you own it outright. There's also a £39/month managed option if you want ongoing updates and hosting included. See all packages here.
Do I need to provide the content?
No. We write the content for you. Send over rough notes about your trade, your services and your areas — even a few bullet points is enough. We turn that into a proper website. Photos help if you have them, but phone shots from the job are absolutely fine.
Can you help with SEO after the site is built?
Yes. Every site includes basic local SEO setup as standard. If you want more — additional location pages, Google Business Profile optimisation, ongoing improvements — get in touch for a free assessment and we'll look at what's worth doing for your specific situation in Bonnyrigg.
What do I need to get started?
Very little. Your name, trade, the areas you cover, and a rough idea of your services. That's enough to get started. We'll ask for anything else we need as the build progresses — and we'll handle the rest.
