The best website builder software for trades
A simple site that turns visitors into booked jobs. Here are the 4 tools we cover in this category, with what owners report and what they really cost.
A point-and-click site builder from the company most trades already bought their domain from, so the website, the domain and a matching email address all sit on one bill, with appointment booking on the middle plan and up.
Free plan, then Basic $9.99/mo, Premium $14.99, Commerce $20.99 paid yearly
A hosted website builder with polished templates and built-in hosting, so a trade owner can get a professional-looking company site online without a developer, and take appointments through Acuity Scheduling, which Squarespace owns but bills as its own subscription.
Basic $19/mo paid yearly, $25 month to month; no free plan, only a trial
A drag-and-drop website builder with a built-in booking calendar, so a trade owner can get a simple site online without hiring a developer and let customers request or book a job straight from the page.
Free plan, then Light $17/mo, Core $29, Business $39, Elite $159 paid yearly
The free open source software most web designers build on, which gives a trade owner a site they fully own and can extend with plugins for booking, quotes and reviews, as long as somebody keeps it hosted, updated and backed up.
Software is free, but a real site runs about $5 to $30/mo once hosting renews
