How much does a website cost for an electrician?
A lead-generating website for an electrician in 2026 typically costs £999 to £2,500 upfront, plus around £99 a month for hosting, maintenance and support. The biggest factors are how many job-specific pages you need (EICR, rewires, EV chargers), whether you want a quote form or calculator, and how many towns you cover. Here is the full breakdown.

What a electrician website costs
Realistic 2026 ranges for a lead-generating electrician website in Dorset. Every quote we give is fixed and itemised before any work starts.
Starter site
£999 + £99/moA clean, fast, mobile-first site with tap-to-call, your core services, an about page and one area page. Everything an electrician needs to look credible and take calls — built to be found locally.
Lead-generatorMost popular
£1,499–£2,000 + £99/moThe Starter, plus dedicated pages for the jobs that pay — EICRs, consumer units, rewires and an EV charger landing page — area pages for each town you cover, and Google/Checkatrade review integration. This is what most electricians should be on.
Premium
£2,000–£2,500+ + £99/moEverything above, plus a quote request or estimate calculator, expanded area coverage and richer content. Built for established firms who want to dominate local search and capture the higher-value domestic work.
What drives the price up or down
Five things that move an electrician website up or down in price.
Number of service pages
Each job-specific page (EICR, consumer unit, rewire, EV charger, fault finding) is its own piece of design, copy and SEO work. More pages ranking for more searches costs more — but each one earns its keep.
An EV charger page
Worth calling out separately: a dedicated, optimised EV charger page targets one of the fastest-growing searches in the trade and the highest-value domestic jobs. A small add-on that often pays for the whole site.
Number of area pages
Ranking in Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Wimborne means a proper page per town, not one 'areas covered' line. The wider your patch, the more pages, the higher the cost.
Quote form vs calculator
A simple enquiry form is included. An interactive estimate calculator (job type, property, a few questions) is custom functionality, typically £500–£1,500, and usually lifts enquiries noticeably.
Ongoing SEO
The build gets you technically SEO-clean. Active local SEO — Google Business Profile, citations, reviews and content — is an optional monthly retainer on top of the £99 hosting, and it's what compounds rankings over time.
Common cost questions
How much should an electrician pay for a website?
For a proper lead-generating site, budget £999 to £2,500 upfront plus around £99 a month for hosting and support. Cheaper than that usually means a template you build yourself or a one-page site that won't rank; far more than that, for a standard electrician site, you're likely paying agency overheads. The sweet spot for most electricians is the £1,499–£2,000 'lead-generator' tier.
Is a cheap template website worth it for an electrician?
Rarely. A £15/month Wix or Squarespace template can look fine, but it won't have dedicated EICR or EV charger pages, won't rank well locally without a lot of your own effort, and you'll pay for it forever while never owning it. For a trade that lives or dies on local search and emergency calls, a properly built site pays back quickly.
What's the most valuable feature to pay for?
For electricians, a dedicated EV charger installation page and strong local SEO. EV charger searches are growing fast and most competitors have no page for them, so it's often the cheapest way to win high-value work. A quote calculator is the next best add-on if your jobs price predictably.
Does the monthly fee ever end?
The £99/month covers hosting, security, monitoring, backups and support for as long as you want it — a website is software and needs maintaining. There's no long lock-in: plans run month-to-month with notice, and the site and domain are yours.
How long does an electrician's website take to build?
A Starter site can be live in a couple of weeks; a full lead-generator with multiple service and area pages is usually four to six weeks. The biggest cause of delay is content — photos of your work and sign-off on copy — so getting that ready up front keeps things moving.
