The Beacon System: Mains
Websites for electricians
A website built around the electrical work you want more of, kept current every month, and yours to keep. Part of every plan, alongside your Google profile, reviews, social and service reminders.
What a customer checks before they ring an electrician
Most electrical work starts with a name passed on by a neighbour or a letting agent. Before ringing, the customer types that name into Google and opens your website. If it shows the job they need and the area they live in, they ring. If it is out of date, they ask for someone else.
They also want to know you are registered. Schemes such as NICEIC and NAPIT publish who belongs to them, so your website shows your scheme, and the customer does not have to ring to ask.
A page for each job you want more of
You tell us the electrical jobs that pay and the ones you would rather turn down. The first list gets pages; the second never appears.
- Rewires
- Photos of rewires you have finished, since a customer facing a big job wants to see one you have already done.
- Consumer unit changes
- The signs that a fuse board (consumer unit) is due for replacement, answered on the page that customers find when they search for it.
- EICRs and landlord certificates
- Which inspections and certificates you carry out, for landlords comparing electricians.
- EV chargers
- A page for home charger installation, only if you fit them.
- Fault finding and repairs
- When you work and how to reach you, with your number one tap away on a phone.
- Commercial work
- Its own page if you want more of it, and nothing about it if you do not.
- Your areas
- A page for each area your plan covers: one on Spark, three on Beam.
NICEIC, NAPIT and other registrations go on the site only after we have checked them on the official register.
Letting agents check you before they call
Before a letting agent adds an electrician to its contractor list, someone in the office looks them up. Your website gives that person what they are looking for in one place: your scheme registration, the certificates you issue, the kind of work you take on and your recent reviews.
Alongside the website, every plan runs your Google Business Profile, review requests, social posts and reminders when a customer’s next check is due, all from the photos and job notes you already send. See the full plan for an electrical business .

A business that does electrics, built by us
We built the brand and website for Valo Property Services, which does electrical work as well as plumbing, heating and fire safety in North London. Each trade has its own pages, and the contract terms a careful customer reads before signing are on the site too.
Questions electricians ask about their website
How much does an electrician's website cost?
With us, the website is part of the plan: Spark is £394 a month and Beam £588, plus a one-off £695 setup fee. Hosting and updates are included.
Can you write about technical work without getting it wrong?
Every page starts from your fact file, your photos and the note you send with each job. Where something is unclear we ask you, and if we are still not sure, it does not go on the site. Nothing goes live before you have seen it.
I miss calls when I am mid-job. Will the website help?
The website makes your number easy to tap, but it cannot answer the phone. Neither plan includes call tracking or a missed-call service, so if missed calls cost you work, tell us when we go through your snapshot and we will say whether we can help.
Will you guarantee me a number of jobs?
No. Google decides where your site appears, and customers decide whether to ring. What we can commit to is the work in your plan, every month, written down before you sign.
