From the first Google search to the final invoice:
your customer sees one business, while you work from one connected system.
See the connected journey
One enquiry.
Every next step.
Watch a customer move from your website into your private workspace—then through contact, quoting, booking, payment and review. The work stays connected while your business stays in control.
The problem is not a lack of software
One customer.
Too many systems.
A lead arrives in one platform, the conversation lives somewhere else, the job moves into another app and the evidence disappears into a camera roll. The customer sees fragments—and you carry the admin between them.

What the connected system contains
Three parts.
One customer journey.
Your public website, private working app and performance evidence stay connected. Essential tools can remain behind them without fragmenting the customer journey.
01
Your own source of enquiries
A fast, search-ready website built around your services, proof and local market—so customers discover and trust your business directly.
- Your brand, domain and customer journey
- Service and local search pages
- Enquiries flow straight into your app
- Less dependence on paid lead platforms
02
One app for the working day
A private, phone-first workspace carrying the same brand as your website and shaped around the way your business actually works.
- Leads, messages, customers and job history
- Calendar, reminders and follow-ups
- Site photos stored against the customer
- Quotes and invoices without changing apps
03
Growth you can actually see
Search Console, Analytics, reviews and local content become useful actions inside the same experience—not four more dashboards to remember.
- Website visibility and enquiry performance
- GA4, Search Console and page health
- Review and Google Business Profile workflows
- Clear evidence-backed next actions
Independent does not mean isolated
Your brand in front.
The right tools behind it.
QuickBooks or Xero can remain the accounting source of truth. Google can still power search and analytics. The difference is that your team works through one coherent TradeStead experience, built around your business—not their separate dashboards.

Built from the van backwards
Designed inside a real
working trade business.
This system grew from real enquiries, missed follow-ups, site photographs, rescheduled visits and evenings lost to admin. Every useful part began with a genuine working-day problem.

From scattered to sorted
We don’t add another app.
We unify the ones that matter.
- 01
Map the whole journey
We follow a customer from first search and enquiry through communication, booking, evidence, payment and review.
- 02
Build your branded foundation
Your domain, brand, pages, content and customer records are established around your business. TradeStead runs the connected system behind them.
- 03
Connect what should remain
Accounting, Google data, email and other essential services work quietly behind your unified experience.
- 04
Grow your independence
We use real enquiry and performance evidence to strengthen your own brand and reduce avoidable platform dependence.
Choose the outcome, not just the monthly price
A website is one part.
The handover matters.
A low-cost website can be the right answer when a business only needs an online presence. TradeStead is built for the point where a new enquiry also needs somewhere organised to go.
The Founding 10 offer
The whole foundation.
One monthly price.
We are funding the first 10 builds ourselves to bring the first TradeStead clients through the door. The scope is clear, the production process is tight and the connected system is real.

A good fit?
Built for owners who are
good at the work.
✓
You already do good work but your leads, admin, photos, accounts and website data live in separate places.
✓
You want a system that reflects your business instead of forcing generic stages on it.
✓
You care about customer experience before, during and after the job.
×
You want guaranteed leads overnight, the cheapest website available or a hands-off magic button.
Straight answers
Before we build
anything.
What does the £99 Founding 10 price include?+
It includes an agreed trade website of up to 10 planned pages, the connected private TradeStead workspace, a practical local-search foundation, secure hosting, monitoring, maintenance and support. The initial build includes one organised revision round. Additional pages, repeated redesigns, bespoke integrations, paid advertising and substantial custom development are priced separately before work begins.
Is this another generic job-management app?+
No. We use a strong shared foundation, then configure the customer journey, stages, reminders, documents, integrations and working views around your business. You get the reliability of a platform without being forced into somebody else’s process.
Will it replace my lead platforms, job software, QuickBooks or Xero?+
TradeStead can replace parts of a fragmented workflow and reduce dependence on lead platforms over time. QuickBooks or Xero can remain your accounting source of truth while invoices and customer details move through the TradeStead experience. We connect useful services behind your brand instead of asking you to work from every separate app.
Who owns the website and business data?+
Your business keeps control of its domain, brand, copy, photos, Google and analytics accounts, customer records and job history. Review content remains with the platform where it was earned, while your business retains access to its own profile. TradeStead runs the connected software and support around those assets.
What happens if I leave?+
You keep control of your business assets and receive a static export of your public website, ready to host elsewhere. We also provide an export of your customer and job records, photos and invoices. The subscription services behind it—live forms, the jobs app, integrations, hosting, monitoring, support and ongoing updates—end with the subscription.
What happens if my process changes later?+
That is the point of a bespoke system. We can change stages, add workflows and improve views as the business develops, without throwing away the core platform and starting again.
