Trade page
Websites for windows and doors
A full house of windows is one of the largest jobs a homeowner will ever buy from a trade, and the market is crowded with hard selling national firms. A site that gives straight answers and a fixed process beats a showroom pitch, because that is exactly what people are trying to avoid.
What your customers search for, and the pages that answer it
This buyer is comparison shopping and braced for a sales process. Every page should reduce the number of unknowns rather than push them towards a home visit.
uPVC and aluminium windows
The two main routes, compared properly. Buyers want the difference in cost, lifespan and appearance before they will book anything.
Composite and front doors
A smaller job with an emotional decision attached. This page carries the most photographs and the colour and hardware choices.
Bi-fold and sliding patio doors
High value and highly visual. Worth its own page rather than a paragraph on the doors page.
Conservatories and orangeries
A long decision with planning and building regulations questions attached. Answer them and you remove the main reason people stall.
Double glazing repairs and misted units
Small, urgent, frequent, and almost nobody bothers to write a page for it. It brings in the work that turns into a full house later.
Commercial glazing and shopfronts
Different buyer, different tone. Lead times and access matter more than colour choices.
What your work photographs like, and what we do about it
Glazing is one of the few trades where the finished job photographs beautifully, and most installers still use the manufacturer's brochure images instead.
Whole house before and after
The strongest pair of images in this trade. Shot from the same spot on the pavement, in similar light.
Doors straight on
A composite door photographed square, in daylight, with the frame visible. Simple and it sells.
Bi-folds open, and from inside
Two shots of the same job, one from the garden and one from the kitchen. That pairing is what people picture themselves in.
No brochure renders
If your gallery looks like the manufacturer's website, buyers assume you are a sales agent rather than an installer.
The registers that matter, shown where they count
In glazing the registration also covers the building regulations compliance certificate, which is the thing a solicitor asks for when the house sells. Say so.
- FENSA registration number shown in the header and on every window page, with the compliance certificate explained in one line.
- CERTASS treated identically. We show whichever scheme you actually hold, never both for effect.
- GGF membership shown where held, with the full name written out.
- Insurance backed guarantees length and underwriter named, because deposits on this kind of job make people nervous.
- TrustMark included where held, alongside your public liability cover stated as a figure.
Every page should reduce the number of unknowns, not push them towards a home visit.
Windows and doors are often quoted alongside building work and outside work. Websites for builders and driveways and landscaping cover those searches.
Proof, and its limits
No window or door site is live yet. Here are the two nearest.
The closest live build for the shape of your sale is Praetor Fire and Security. A full house of windows and a commercial alarm contract are bought the same way: shortlisted, compared, accreditation checked, then rung. That site puts every credential in the open and answers the technical questions on the page instead of holding them back for a call. FENSA and CERTASS belong exactly where SSAIB and NSI sit on that build.
For the domestic feel of it, the closest is Mister Electrics: a family firm, a written quote before any work starts, and a fixed price story on the page. What neither proves is the insurance backed guarantee, where the length and the underwriter both need naming because deposits on this kind of job make people nervous. That is set out above. When a window or door site goes live here it will be on this page, measured the same way as the rest.
