How much does an electrician website cost in 2026?
An electrician's website is a modest thing to build: credentials, a list of jobs, an area and a form. The bill ranges widely anyway, because you can write it yourself on a $2-a-month plan or commission a contractor-grade site with separate commercial and domestic sections.
How much does a website cost for an electrician?
As of November 2026, an electrician website on a website builder costs about $24 to $264 a year for the plan at published entry prices, for example about $24 a year on Hostinger's four-year prepayment, $108 a year on Neweb Starter and about $204 a year on Wix Light. A freelancer charges $500 to $10,000 or more per project and an agency $3,000 to $10,000 or more, according to Wix's cost guide. From year two add a domain, typically around $20 according to GoDaddy, and any mailbox or software subscriptions.

Facts checked November 2026.
The cost of an electrician's website depends less on the trade than on the shape of the business. A sole trader doing domestic work needs four pages. A contractor with domestic, landlord and commercial clients needs a section for each, a page per major service, and copy that gets the technical details right. The second site takes several times the work of the first, whoever does it.
This guide sets out the published prices for doing it yourself, the sourced ranges for hiring someone, the costs that recur, and a four-year comparison. Use the website cost calculator to model your own case, and the website cost guide for 2026 for the general picture.
Three routes to an electrician website
What each route costs upfront and afterwards.
| Route | Upfront | Each year after | Source of the figure | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website builder, built by you or by AI | $0 to set up | About $24 to $264 for the plan; domain extra from year two | Vendor pricing pages (table below) | Sole traders and small domestic firms |
| Freelancer | $500 to $10,000+ per project | Hosting, domain and paid edits | Wix's website cost guide | Contractors who want distinct domestic and commercial sections designed and written for them |
| Agency | $3,000 to $10,000 or more for a fully customised site | Hosting, domain and usually a maintenance retainer | Wix's website cost guide | Larger contractors bidding for commercial work who need brand, case studies and ongoing marketing |

Published builder prices, checked this month
Entry plans from each vendor's own pricing page. An electrician with many service pages should check page and storage limits on the plan before buying.
| Plan | Published price | Per year | Source | Note for this trade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hostinger Premium | $1.99/mo, paid as $95.52 for 48 months; renews at $10.99/mo | About $24 a year for the first four years | hostinger.com | Lowest price; four-year commitment; you build it |
| WordPress.com Personal | $4/mo billed yearly ($9 monthly) | $48 | wordpress.com | Real WordPress with plugins on paid plans; you build it |
| Neweb Starter | $9/mo billed yearly ($19 month-to-month) | $108 | neweb.ai | AI drafts the site; add commercial pages later; check technical copy |
| Wix Light | About $17/mo on a yearly plan | About $204 | wix.com | Easiest for separate domestic and commercial sections |
| Squarespace Basic | From $19/mo paid annually | $228 | squarespace.com | Suits lighting and smart-home specialists |
| Durable Launch | $22/mo billed yearly ($25 monthly) | $264 | durable.com | AI site plus invoicing and CRM for sole traders |

What makes an electrician's site cost more
- More service pages. EV chargers, rewires, panel or consumer unit upgrades, inspection and testing, lighting, alarms. A page each helps customers and search engines, and each one has to be written and kept accurate.
- A commercial section. Facilities managers expect sectors served, accreditations, insurance levels and case studies. That is real writing and photography work.
- Technical accuracy. Copy about regulations and safety must be checked by a qualified person. If a freelancer or an AI writes it, your time to review it is part of the cost.
- Certification and job software. Test certificates, inspection reports and job management come from specialist software, billed separately. Not a website cost, but often decided at the same time; add the vendor's current price to the website cost calculator.
- Email on your domain. Tenders and letting agents expect a business address. A mailbox is a separate subscription with most builders, Neweb included.
What does not need to cost much: photography. Clear phone photos of labelled boards and finished installs are more convincing than stock images.
Ongoing costs after launch
- The plan or hosting. Whatever you chose above, every year, at the renewal price rather than the first-term price.
- The domain. Often free for the first year with a builder, then charged yearly. GoDaddy's website cost guide puts a domain at $0 to $30 a year and says to expect around $20.
- Upkeep. The same GoDaddy guide suggests most businesses budget up to $500 or more a year for maintenance. On a hosted builder most of that is included in the plan; on a freelancer-built site it is paid edits and updates.
- Scheme and directory listings. Membership of registration schemes and trade directories is a business cost that often does more for trust than the website; keep the details consistent between the two.
A worked example: the cheapest route against the built-for-you route, over four years
A newly self-employed electrician compares two routes over four years, the length of Hostinger's prepayment term.
- Hostinger Premium: $95.52 upfront for 48 months, with the domain free for year one. Assume $20 a year for the domain in years two to four (GoDaddy's typical figure): $60. Four-year total: about $156, plus the electrician's own time to build and maintain the site.
- Neweb Starter: $108 a year on yearly billing for four years, $432, with the domain free for year one. Same domain assumption for years two to four: $60. Four-year total: about $492, with the site drafted by AI on managed WordPress.
The difference is about $336 over four years, or $84 a year. That is the price of not building it yourself, and whether it is worth paying depends on what an evening of your time earns. Neither total includes a mailbox. If you would rather design the site yourself with separate domestic and commercial sections, the builder comparison for electricians explains why Wix leads that list.

Costly mistakes electricians make with websites
- Publishing unchecked technical copy. A wrong statement about regulations costs more in credibility than any design saves. Review every page yourself.
- Paying for a commercial-grade site as a domestic sole trader. Start with four pages. Add sections when the work justifies them.
- Ignoring the renewal price. Introductory rates on long prepayments rise at renewal. Note the date and the new price when you buy.
- Letting a designer hold the domain. Register it in your own name so the address on your certificates and van stays yours.
- Using scheme logos without permission. Misuse can cost you the registration. Check each scheme's rules for website use.

Start freeFrequently asked questions
How much should a self-employed electrician spend on a website?
For a domestic sole trader, a builder plan is enough: roughly $24 to $264 a year at published entry prices as of November 2026, plus a domain from year two. Hiring a freelancer starts at about $500 per Wix's published range and makes sense mainly when you want commercial and domestic sections designed for you.
Is a free website good enough for an electrician?
A free plan is fine for trying a builder, but it usually sits on the vendor's subdomain rather than your own domain, which looks temporary to a letting agent or facilities manager. A paid entry plan with your own domain is the minimum for a business that wants commercial work.
What ongoing costs does an electrician website have?
The plan or hosting each year at its renewal price, the domain from year two (around $20 according to GoDaddy), any mailbox subscription, and either your time or a freelancer's fees for updates. Certification and job-management software are separate from the website.
Does it cost more to add an EV charger page or a commercial section?
On a builder, no: extra pages are normally included in the plan and cost only the time to write them. With a freelancer or agency, extra pages and sections are usually quoted individually, so agree the page list before work starts.
What does Neweb cost for an electrician?
Starter is $9 a month billed yearly ($108 a year) or $19 month-to-month, including managed WordPress hosting, SSL and a free domain for the first year. Growth is $24 a month billed yearly or $39 monthly and adds 10 AI blog posts a month. There is a Free plan to preview the site.
