WEBSITE & HOSTING FOR PAINTERS & DECORATORS
A website where your finish does the talking
Decorating is bought with the eyes. Homeowners scroll photos of crisp ceiling lines and freshly papered feature walls, then contact whoever took them. If your best work only lives on a Checkatrade profile or a Facebook page, you're renting your shop window from someone else — and paying for the privilege. Website & Hosting gives you a professional site of your own: designed, built, written, and looked after for you, included in every Resolves plan.

Your finish is your portfolio — give it a proper home
Picture the person planning a hallway repaint or a full redecoration before the in-laws visit at Christmas. They search "painter and decorator near me" and open three tabs. One decorator has a clean, modern site with a gallery of finished rooms, reviews on show, and a button to arrange a quote visit. The other two are a bare directory listing and a mobile number scribbled under a Facebook post from 2021. The quote request almost always goes to the one who looked like a proper business — even when the other two are every bit as good with a brush. Skill wins the job on the wall; presentation wins the chance to prove it.
Website & Hosting is the whole package, not just a homepage. Your site is designed and written around the work you actually do — interiors, exteriors, wallpaper hanging, spray finishes, landlord and letting-agent refreshes — with a gallery organised by job type so visitors can see exactly the kind of transformation they're after. Add fast UK hosting with SSL, plus email on your own domain, and suddenly your quotes carry a proper business address rather than a personal one that undersells the standard of your work.
And unlike a lead directory, nobody charges you per enquiry, ranks you beneath whoever pays more, or parades three rival decorators directly underneath your profile. The site is yours. It builds authority year after year, every new gallery photo makes it stronger, and there's nothing technical for you to maintain — updates, security, and backups are all handled behind the scenes while you're on the tools earning.
How it works
1
Show us your work
During the free audit, tell us what you do, where you work, and what jobs you want more of — then send over photos you're proud of. Phone snaps are fine; we shape it all into pages that sell your standard of finish.
2
We build it and keep it running
Design, copywriting, hosting, SSL, and domain email are all handled for you. Security and backups tick over quietly in the background, and nothing goes live until you've seen it and approved it.
3
Browsers become booked quotes
Every page steers visitors towards arranging a visit, so the homeowner comparing decorators on a Sunday night can lock in a quote appointment on the spot instead of drifting off to the next tab.
Why painters & decorators use website & hosting
📷
A gallery that wins quotes
Before-and-after shots of stairwells, papered chimney breasts, and glassy-smooth glosswork persuade homeowners faster than any sales copy ever could. We organise them so your best work greets every visitor.
🔍
Get found beyond the directories
A properly structured site can rank for local decorating searches in its own right, bringing in enquiries you don't pay a platform a penny for — this month or any month after.
🏠
Look worth your day rate
People are inviting you into their home for days at a time. A polished online presence settles their nerves, answers the trust question early, and quietly supports the price you quote.
📧
Email on your own domain
A quote from your business address carries more weight with homeowners and letting agents than one from a personal Gmail account — especially on bigger jobs where trust decides.
📱
Built for the evening scroll
Decorating gets researched on the sofa after dinner. Your site loads quickly on a phone, the gallery swipes cleanly, and tap-to-call and booking sit within thumb's reach.
✅
Zero maintenance on your side
No hosting renewals, plugin updates, or developers to chase. Send us new job photos whenever you like and we'll keep the gallery growing for you.
Website & Hosting FAQs
How much does a painter and decorator website cost in the UK?
With Resolves there's no separate build fee and no designer's invoice. The site, its hosting, the SSL certificate, and your domain email all come bundled into every plan, starting at £49/month — and that same plan also includes Online Booking, Review Generation, and Missed-Call Text-Back, so the site comes wired into the tools that turn visitors into booked work. See pricing for exactly what each tier covers.
I get my work from Checkatrade and Facebook — do I still need my own website?
Those platforms are useful, but they're rented ground. Checkatrade lists rival decorators right beside you and charges for the exposure, while Facebook decides who sees your posts and buries them within days. Your own site is the one place online you fully control — and it's where directory browsers and word-of-mouth referrals go to check you out before committing. Most decorators find the platforms work better once there's a proper site backing them up.
Can you build a photo gallery of my previous decorating jobs?
Yes — it's usually the centrepiece of the whole site. Your photos get sorted into showcases by job type — interiors, exteriors, wallpapering, spray work — so visitors can jump straight to the kind of transformation they're planning. Text us new pictures from site when a job wraps up and we'll add them for you — no logins or uploads on your end.
I already have an old website that never brings in work. Can you sort it?
We rebuild it from scratch on our platform and wire it into your booking and automation tools, so it stops being an online business card and starts being a way for people to actually book you. Your existing domain moves across with you, which means any search history and links you've earned over the years carry over rather than starting again from zero.
Will my decorating website actually show up on Google?
We structure every page around what local searchers genuinely type — your services, your towns, your job types — which gives Google clear signals about who you are and where you work. Pair the site with Review Generation and your growing star rating strengthens your position in the local results even further. No agency can honestly promise a ranking, but a well-built site is the foundation everything else stands on.
How long before my site is live?
Typically about 48 hours after your free audit. We handle the design, the writing, and all the technical setup; you look it over, ask for any tweaks — a different photo here, a wording change there — and give the final nod before launch. There's no homework for you beyond sending photos and answering a few questions.
