Websites for decorators where the finish does the talking
Decorating is bought with the eyes. Customers don’t read paragraphs about your brushwork — they look at your finished rooms and decide in seconds. We build decorator websites as portfolios first.

Why it matters
What costs painters & decorators work online
Galleries that undersell the work
Dark, cluttered photo dumps make careful work look average. A crisp, well-organised gallery makes average phone photos look professional — presentation is half the battle.
Keyword-stuffed legacy sites
Many decorator sites were built in an era of stuffing every town name into every sentence. Google now punishes it, and customers find it spammy. Clean copy wins on both fronts.
Interior and exterior are different seasons
Exterior work is searched in spring, interiors in autumn and before Christmas. A site that separates them captures both cycles instead of blurring them.
Built for your trade
What a painter and decorator’s website needs
A portfolio-led homepage
Your best finished rooms above the fold, full-width and recent. The gallery is the pitch; everything else supports it.
Interior and exterior pages
Separate pages, each with its own gallery and its own seasonal search traffic.
Experience stated plainly
Years trading, the kinds of properties you work on, whether you handle wallpaper, spraying or period property work — the specifics that match you to the right jobs.
A frictionless quote request
Rooms, rough timing, photos attached. Decorating quotes need a look either way; the form’s job is to start that conversation quickly.
Simple pricing, no setup fee
Plans from £49 a month plus VAT — build, hosting, SSL, backups and content updates all included. See the rebuilt homepage before you pay a penny.
Straight answers
Questions from painters & decorators
My current site is old and stuffed with town names. Does it matter?
Yes — it now actively hurts. Search engines demote keyword-stuffed pages and customers read them as spam. We rebuild with clean, natural copy and let the gallery and genuine local signals do the ranking work.
Do I need professional photography?
No. Well-lit phone photos of finished rooms, taken straight-on in daylight, present excellently in a clean gallery. We’ll tell you exactly how to shoot them, and the site is built to make them look their best.
Can the site show both domestic and commercial decorating?
Yes, as separate sections — a homeowner choosing a living-room decorator and a facilities manager procuring a repaint look for different proof, so each gets its own page and enquiry route.
How much does a website for a painter and decorator cost?
Plans start at £49 a month plus VAT with no setup fee — that includes the build, tailored desktop and mobile design, hosting, SSL, backups and ongoing content updates. Before you pay anything, we rebuild your homepage free so you can judge the work first.
