search_websites

Search Handsome Local, a hand-picked gallery of real websites for trades and home services businesses (plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, heating and HVAC firms, landscapers) in the UK and US. Every entry is a live site chosen by an editor because it is well built and wins work; each comes with a screenshot of the top of the page, a one-sentence summary, its tags and a credit for whoever built it. Filter by trade, region, style, colour, platform, conversion features or typeface, or search free text. Returns the newest matches first. Use it for visual references when designing or building a website for a tradesperson. It does not rate or rank sites and it covers the trades listed only.
