Websites for electrical and plumbing wholesalers: your products on your own site within the hour, and the enquiry on your desk first
You already keep your products up to date for the national wholesalers' apps. The same feed can run a site you own, fast enough to pass Google's real-visitor speed test, where an electrician or plumber finds the product, sends the enquiry to you, and never sees a competitor's stock beside yours.
What it is like now
- Contractors price a job at night and you are closed.
- Your counter staff know the stock; the website knows nothing.
- The nationals have an app and you have a phone number.
What we build for trade wholesalers
- Full catalogue with technical data sheets, live branch stock and account pricing
- Quote builder for job lists, saved and turned into orders
- Collection slots and delivery tracking
- Account statements and invoices online, so the phone stops ringing about them
What it looks like in practice
Contractors price a job at night and the wholesaler is closed; the nationals have an app. We build a full catalogue with technical data sheets, live branch stock and account pricing, a quote builder that turns a job list into an order, collection slots and delivery tracking, and account statements and invoices online so the phone stops ringing about them.
What a website costs for electrical and plumbing wholesalers
Most trade wholesalers need the Platform tier, from €20,000, delivered in 10 to 14 weeks, paid 40 / 40 / 20, or 12 monthly payments. That includes your products fed from your own system, a page per product, the filters your buyers use, enquiry capture with alerts, sector pages, structured data, built to score 100 on Google's speed test at launch, and your hosting, domain and code in your name.
After launch, most take the Managed care plan at €195 a month: hosting, SSL, daily backups, software updates, uptime and security monitoring, 2 hours a month shared between content edits and development (no rollover), a monthly report in plain English and a one working day response, month to month with 30 days' notice. If the site you have now only needs its faults fixed rather than replacing, single fixes start at €175 and the free audit names them.
Typical ticket for a product in your trade is €100 to €10,000 an order; one enquiry that comes to you instead of to the national wholesalers' apps covers a lot of website. The full menu, with the five-year comparison, is on the pricing page.
Questions trade wholesalers ask
- Contractors need data sheets and certificates.
- Attached to every product and searchable, with the manufacturer's sheet kept up to date from their feed.
- Can a job list become an order?
- Yes. Build the list, price it against the account, save it, order it in one click when the job is won.
- We need collection slots so the counter is not swamped.
- Slots per branch with a cut-off, and an SMS when the order is picked.
Faults we see most on trade wholesalers sites
Before anyone talks about a rebuild, the audit usually finds a few of these. Each has its own page with the fix and the fixed price, and none of them needs a new website.
- Slow to start loading · A half day to a day.
- Not built for phones · One to three days depending on the size of the site, or part of a rebuild.
- Website software behind on updates · A half day.
- Visitor tracking stopped years ago · A half day.
- Nothing measures your visitors · Two hours.
Check your own site first
Free, on screen in seconds. The faults an electrician or plumber actually hits on your homepage, and what each one costs you.
Free, no call. The first findings come up in a few seconds and the full result in about half a minute. We load your site in a real mobile browser the way Google measures it, read your inner pages, your DNS, certificate, email records and sitemap, follow your stock list to the pages for the things you actually sell, and show you the three worst things on screen.
Five questions to ask anyone quoting you, and our answers
- Where is the work actually done?
- Here, by the person you are talking to. Nothing is passed to a white-label shop in another time zone without telling you, because nothing is passed anywhere.
- Who can see my enquiry data, and under what agreement?
- You, and us while we build or maintain it, under a written data-processing agreement. Your customers' details never leave infrastructure in your name.
- What happens on day 31?
- The same as day 1. Fixed-price builds carry a 90-day warranty on defects; care plans run month to month; nothing expires when the invoice clears.
- Who owns the code, the hosting and the domain?
- You do, from the first commit. Your repository, your hosting account, your registrar. Written into the quote. (The one exception is the monthly dealer plan, where the code passes to you when the 12-month minimum is complete.)
- What does Google's own speed test say about it?
- We build to score 100 on Google's mobile test and report the launch-day figure in writing; the final instalment is due when the written acceptance criteria are met, not on a score. ukcarimports.ie scored 88 on 10 October 2026 with real visitors passing all five Core Web Vitals. Run it yourself, on any page of the proof site.
