For plumbers
A simple website for your plumbing business
Websites for plumbers should make two kinds of work obvious on one page: the 11pm burst pipe, and the geyser you can book for Thursday. Makesite builds that custom one-page site for R649 once, with a live link in about 72 hours. Pay only if you keep it. R649 is the site price, not the call-out fee. Based in Cape Town, used across South Africa. Not a dispatch app and not an online shop.
Emergency work and booked work on the same page
A leak does not wait for a contact form. Planned work does not need a siren. The same plumber often does both, and the page should say so without pretending it can assign the next van.
Lead with call and WhatsApp. List the after-hours jobs you actually take: blocked drains, burst pipes, geyser failures. Then list the booked work: new geysers, bathroom renovations, leak detection, maintenance. People who found you at 2pm on a Tuesday still need to know you do more than emergencies.
What the page will not do is become dispatch software. No live map of your team, no customer login, no ticket queue. You still decide who goes where. The website is the link that stops people asking the same four questions in a voice note.
What's on the page
- • The plumbing jobs you actually do, split in copy between urgent and booked if that is how you work
- • Towns and suburbs you cover, named so a person in Bellville is not guessing
- • Photos of real work if you have them: a geyser, a finished bathroom, a cleared drain
- • Call and WhatsApp, front and centre, not buried under a map widget
- • A short about section so people know who is turning up
- • A mobile-friendly layout that loads on data when the power is out at the house
R649 is the website, not the call-out
Call-out fees, after-hours rates and material mark-ups stay yours. Makesite does not take a cut of jobs and does not quote your labour. R649 is what you pay us, once, if you keep the page. For how that sits against typical built-for-you work, see website design prices in South Africa.
There is no monthly fee from Makesite. Hosting uses the host's current free tier. A domain is extra if you want your own. After you pay and claim, you get five reasonable changes in six months: new suburb, new WhatsApp number, a photo swap, a service line that already fits the page.
R649 once. No monthly fee from Makesite.
Fill in a short brief. We build a custom one-page site and send a live link in about 72 hours. Like it, pay R649 and claim it. Don't like it, you owe nothing. The standard offer is not an ecommerce site, booking platform, dispatch app or large multipage service catalogue.
FAQ
What should a plumber's website include?
Your services, the suburbs or towns you cover, a few job photos if you have them, and a clear way to call or WhatsApp. Emergency work and booked work can both sit on the same page without turning it into a dispatch app.
How much does a plumber website cost with Makesite?
R649 once. That is the site price, not a call-out fee. No monthly fee from Makesite. Live link in about 72 hours, pay only if you keep it.
Do I need a website if I already have a Google listing?
A listing gets you found. A website is the link you put on the van, the invoice and WhatsApp status: one place that looks like a real business when someone forwards your name.
Can the page cover burst geysers and planned renovations?
Yes. Lead with WhatsApp or call for after-hours leaks, and still list booked work such as geyser installs and bathroom renovations. The page does not assign jobs or track vans.
How many changes do I get after I pay?
Five reasonable changes in the six months after you pay and claim the site. Work beyond that is quoted separately.
Do you only work in the Western Cape?
No. Anywhere in South Africa. Where your business is does not change the R649 price or the about 72 hour timeline. We are based in Cape Town.
Ready to see it?
Takes about five minutes. No payment until you decide to keep the site.
