A website for a building trade
The brief for a plumber, electrician, painter, roofer, carpenter or general builder: the jobs you take, the area you serve, photographs of real work, and the fastest way to ask for a quote.
In short
For a plumber, electrician, painter, roofer or builder. Gets your assistant to put the phone and the quote button first, one page per kind of job, real jobs with before and after photographs, the area as a list of towns, a quote form that takes photographs. Published with SayLive.
What this prompt asks your assistant to build
Written as you would say it. Paste it as is, then answer what your assistant asks.
I want a website for my building trade business, built in this conversation and published with SayLive. People call us when something is broken or when they are planning work, and they want to know fast whether we do it, where, and how to reach us. The site must turn that visit into a call or a quote request in under a minute. Before writing. Look us up (Google Maps, the reviews, the trade registers, our social accounts), tell me what you found, and ask me one question at a time for the rest: the kinds of jobs we take and the ones we refuse, the exact area we cover, the certifications and insurance to mention with their exact wording, the photographs of real jobs I can give you, and how I want to be contacted for an emergency versus a quote. Never invent a certification, a price or a review. Then propose the site plan, page by page, with what each page says and where it links. I validate, then you write. The pages. Home: what we do and where, in one sentence, the phone number and the quote button visible without scrolling. One page per kind of job (emergencies, installations, renovations, maintenance): what it involves, how long it takes, how a quote works, when we can come. Our work: real jobs with before and after photographs, the town, the problem, what we did. The company: since when, the team, insurance and certifications, the area in the form of a list of towns. Contact: a quote form with the fields that let me answer fast (what, where, when, photos), the emergency number, the hours. And an FAQ: do you charge for a quote, how fast for an emergency, do you take small jobs. The tone. Straight and reassuring, like a tradesperson who turns up on time. No "your satisfaction is our priority": response times, towns, years. So people find us. Write what people type: the trade and each town we cover, emergency plumber and the town, bathroom renovation, the certifications people search for. One title and description per page, one H1, the area and the phone in the footer of every page, and a page per main town if we cover several. Technically. A static site, fast on a phone used outdoors: photographs in WebP and resized, the phone number tappable everywhere, no third-party script, no cookie banner since we track nobody. The quote form accepts photographs. With SayLive. I drop the before and after photographs in the media library, you place them; the quote form is the one included with the site and requests reach my email. When I say publish, publish and give me the address. I reread on my phone, you fix and republish; if a version is worse, we go back to the previous one. When I am happy, I connect my domain.
What to have at hand before you paste it
- Your business name, address, opening hours, phone and email.
- Five to ten photographs you own the rights to.
- Three concrete proofs: years in business, a certification, a number that means something.
- Before and after photographs of real jobs, and your insurance and certification details.
With SayLive, even better
What you get with SayLive on top
This prompt is enough: pasted into any assistant, it gets you a good site. Connected to SayLive, the same assistant works with what is held back here, with nothing to install:
- The SayLive skills, loaded by themselves: the research on your business before a line is written, the floor a page has to reach, the SEO plan with its queries and internal links, the structured data, and the critical review the assistant gives its own work before publishing. Included with every site.
- The Blueprint "Building trade": what a specialist of your trade knows and this prompt does not say. The questions to ask before the first line, the pages a site of this kind needs, what goes wrong in this trade, and the claims never to make unchecked. Bought once, for the site, 29.
- Alma, our designer agent: an art direction that holds from one conversation to the next, rather than your assistant's default style. Recruited once, 99.
- A human, if you want one: the Boost, 499 per expert day, when you would rather have a person take the site in hand.
And with every published site: 150 publications, 50 MB of media, 50 form messages, 50 review tickets, your own domain connected, and the previous version back in one sentence.
Frequently asked questions
Should a tradesperson list prices?
Call-out fees and hourly rates, yes if they are fixed; jobs stay on quote. The prompt asks your assistant to explain how a quote works rather than guess numbers.
Do I need photographs?
Real ones, yes: before and after, taken with your phone. They are the proof that converts, far more than a stock image of a toolbox.
What about the area I cover?
Name the towns and the radius. It filters calls you would refuse and it is what search engines match a local query against.
