Searching "how to make a free carpenter website"? People also search the phrasing the other way — websites for carpenters, carpenter website, or carpenter near me — usually planning fitted furniture, a kitchen, or decking, and deciding on the strength of your past work. This guide covers building a carpentry website for free yourself, and the faster route where we build it for you at no cost.
Can you really make a carpenter website for free?
You can — with the free-tier trade-offs that matter for a craftsmanship trade:
- A builder subdomain like yourname.wixsite.com, which looks less established on a bespoke quote.
- Competitor ads on your free pages.
- Limited image handling and SEO, so your portfolio — your best selling tool — doesn't shine or rank.
- No real ownership of the site.
Free is a fine start; just know that for bespoke work, presentation is part of the price you can charge.
How to make a free carpenter website, step by step
- Pick a builder — Wix or Google Sites, with a clean, photo-forward template.
- Get a proper domain if you can — it signals an established joiner.
- Build the five pages a carpentry site needs: Home, a Portfolio gallery, Services, Service Area, and Contact with a quote form.
- Show your best work — fitted wardrobes, kitchens, staircases, decking. Detail photos justify your rate.
- Set up your Google Business Profile with "Carpenter" as the category and every area you serve.
- Ask for reviews after each job — they rank and reassure on higher-value work.
"Fitted wardrobes [city]", "kitchen fitter near me", "bespoke joinery [area]" — high-value searches with real budgets behind them. Your portfolio is how you win them over a faceless competitor.
What a great carpenter website includes (with examples)
- A portfolio gallery organised by job type — fitted furniture, kitchens, decking, doors, repairs.
- Clear services, each able to rank for its own search.
- Your coverage area by town for local ranking.
- A bespoke quote request form above the fold.
- Reviews to back up the craftsmanship.
That's the structure we use on the carpentry sites we build — portfolio-led and built to win bespoke work.
How much does a carpenter website cost?
- Free builder: $0 — with the subdomain, ads, and image/SEO limits above.
- Paid builder: ~$15–30/month, forever, self-built.
- Freelancer: $500–1,500 one-off.
- Agency: $2,000–5,000+ custom.
- The Toolbox: $0 to build, ~$5–10/month self-hosted, files yours to keep.
One fitted kitchen or set of wardrobes is worth more than years of hosting. The site pays for itself on the first job.
