A hand-coded website for your carpenters business — built to rank from day one
I build hand-coded Next.js websites for carpenters. Pure code — no WordPress, no page builder, no marketplace theme. Built for the conversion path your carpenters customers actually use (consultation-booking conversion) and for the search terms they actually type into Google.
The site ships with the same level of technical SEO work that this very site has: semantic HTML, schema.org markup on every page type, internal linking architecture, Core Web Vitals in the green, mobile-first. Schema-wise, the build includes the appropriate FMB, CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), and NVQ Level 3 in Carpentry & Joinery registration display on the homepage and every service page that mentions qualified work.
Pair the build with the local SEO retainer and the site launches into work that compounds month over month.
Why carpenters specifically
What a hand-coded site does for your trade
Carpenters sell bespoke joinery — wardrobes, alcove units, staircases, kitchens. The site is a portfolio gallery first, a service catalogue second. Customers browse for 2-3 weeks before booking.
Gallery-heavy layout with full-width photography outperforms anything else. Each project should be a case study: before/after photos, materials used, dimensions, budget band.
Workshop address + service-area pages are essential. Customers want to know you are local and that they can visit the workshop to see materials. Schema markup on the workshop address.
Trade-certification display (FMB, CITB, NVQ Level 3) earns trust in this vertical. Schema markup on each certification card.
Bespoke vs standard positioning matters. Customers searching "carpenter" range from IKEA-with-installation to full-bespoke-joinery. The site should segment them at first scroll with two clear CTAs.
Service variants
The carpenters services this build ranks for
Each service variant gets a dedicated service page on the build. Schema markup on every one. Internal linking between related variants. The result: a single build ranks for dozens of long-tail queries, not just the head term.

Trust and certification
FMB, CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), and NVQ Level 3 in Carpentry & Joinery registration, displayed correctly
FMB, CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), and NVQ Level 3 in Carpentry & Joinery registration display is the single highest-trust signal on a carpenters website. Schema markup on the registration card means Google can surface it as a knowledge-panel attribute and carpenters without registration don't compete on the same SERP feature.

Frequently asked questions
How do [city] carpenters win for 'bespoke fitted wardrobes' specifically?
Bespoke wardrobe work is a separate search market from general carpentry. The customers are doing longer research, comparing joiners on portfolio quality, and they will pay 30-50% more for the right craftsman. The ranking signals that matter most: GBP photos of recent wardrobe projects (ideally 3+ recent ones), reviews that mention 'wardrobe', 'fitted furniture', or specific brands, citations on local interior design directories, and content targeting the planning searches.
What GBP categories should a [city] carpenter use?
Primary: 'Carpenter'. Then secondary categories that match what you actually do: Joiner, Kitchen remodeler, Flooring contractor, Cabinet maker, Deck builder. Pick 3-5 max. For [city] specifically, the more distinct project types you show in photos, the better Google can match you to the right searches.
Should [city] carpenters run Google Ads?
For high-intent searches (kitchen fitter [city], bespoke wardrobes [city]), yes - the customer is actively shopping and the install value (£3k-£25k) justifies the £10-£35 cost per click. We usually run Google Ads selectively on the high-value service types, with landing pages targeting the specific project type.
How much does a hand-coded website cost for a carpenters business?
Same as anywhere in the UK: £1,500-£5,000 one-off, fixed quote. The exact figure depends on the number of pages and the complexity of the integrations. For carpenters, the conversion path is consultation-booking conversion — your build needs to optimise for that, which a hand-coded site does by default and a page builder rarely does well.
Do you build sites for carpenters specifically?
Yes. The build process is the same regardless of trade, but the conversion-path engineering is tuned to how carpenters customers actually search and book. The site schema includes the relevant FMB, CITB (Construction Industry Training Board), and NVQ Level 3 in Carpentry & Joinery registration display where applicable. Carpenters sites get service-area pages that match the search intent for your most-searched service variants: bespoke wardrobes, alcove units, staircase renovation, kitchen installation.
