Websitesfor Painters & Decorators

What should a painter and decorator website include?

A good painter and decorator website should lead with before-and-after photos of finished rooms, name every service — interior, exterior, wallpapering and woodwork — show the proof and credentials a homeowner recognises, and give people a clear, unhurried way to ask for a quote.

• Before-and-after, front and centre

  A tired room beside the finished one is the most persuasive thing a decorator can show. People book the transformation, not the dust sheets — so you set the before beside the after and let the change do the talking.

• Every service named the way people search

  Interior redecoration, exterior repaints, wallpapering, woodwork and specialist finishes — each is its own search and its own page, so someone after a papered hallway lands on exactly that, not a vague "painting" page.

• Proof, not just a promise

  Anyone can buy a brush and a van and call themselves a decorator. What sets you apart is evidence — real finished rooms, tidy edges, a clean cut-in — shown plainly enough that a stranger is comfortable letting you into their home.

• The badges a homeowner knows

  A Dulux Select Decorator badge or a Painting and Decorating Association membership means something to a customer choosing who to let into their home. Where you hold them, they sit where they will be seen — never buried on an about page.

• An easy way to ask for a quote

  Decorating is planned, not panicked, so the quote is the moment that matters. A short enquiry — which rooms, interior or exterior, roughly when — reads better than a bare form, with your phone number on every page for those who would rather call.

• The areas you actually cover

  A decorator will travel for the right job but not for every touch-up, so a customer wants to know they are in range before they ring. Name your base and the areas you work, plainly, so the enquiries that arrive are ones worth quoting.
