Started by a tradesman.
Built for small businesses.
We sell practical AI guides through our online store and build fast, mobile-first websites for trades and local businesses. No jargon, no agency markup, no fluff.
SoloFoundry was started by a tradesman, not a developer. That means everything here is built around how small businesses actually work — not how tech people think they work.
Practical guides and systems you can use straight away
Most people get weak results from AI because they have no setup, no structure, and no way to reuse what works. SoloFoundry's AI guides fix that. They teach you how to get consistent, useful outputs — whether you're writing quotes, following up customers, or running your business admin. No technical background needed. Available to buy now from our online storefronts on Gumroad and Etsy.
Fast, mobile-first websites built for local customers
A website built for a trade business has one job — get the phone to ring. SoloFoundry builds fast, mobile-first sites for trades and local businesses that load quickly, look professional, and make it easy for customers to get in touch. Facebook and Checkatrade get you leads, but they're rented ground. Your own website is the only online presence you actually own.
Just Text Me — simple monthly care with no hassle
Once your site is live, keeping it current shouldn't be a project. Our Just Text Me care plan means you text us when something needs updating — new service, new photos, changed hours — and we handle it. No tickets, no portals, no waiting. From £79/month.
Questions from trades and small businesses
If you're a tradesman or small business owner and you're not sure whether any of this is relevant to you — it is. These are the questions we hear most from people in exactly your position.
Can I use AI in my small business without any technical experience?
Yes — that's exactly who our guides are built for. Small business owners and tradespeople across the UK are using AI tools like ChatGPT to save time on quotes, follow-ups, and day-to-day admin without any coding or technical background. Our guides give you the setup and structure to get consistent, useful results from day one.
Where should a small business start with AI?
The most common mistake when starting out with AI in a small business is trying too many tools at once. Our free diagnostic on the Start Here page asks seven questions and points you to the right starting point based on where your biggest bottleneck actually is — whether that's your setup, your prompts, or your outputs.
What can AI realistically help a tradesman or small business with day to day?
For tradespeople and small businesses, AI is most useful for writing professional quotes and follow-up messages, handling customer enquiries, creating content for social media, and keeping the business organised — without hiring extra staff. The key is having the right setup so you get repeatable results rather than starting from scratch every time.
Are websites still relevant for small businesses and trades in 2026?
More than ever. Research shows that the vast majority of customers — including those looking for local tradespeople like plumbers, electricians, and builders — search online before making contact. Social media and platforms like Checkatrade generate leads, but they don't build your business long term. A website means customers find you on Google, you own your presence, and you're not paying per lead indefinitely.
Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page or Google Business Profile?
A Facebook page and Google Business Profile are a good start for local visibility, but they're rented ground. Algorithm changes, platform rules, and rising ad costs mean you don't control them. Your own website is the only online asset you actually own — and it's what lets Google rank you for searches like "electrician in [your town]" or "builder near me."
Why is my small business website not getting enquiries?
Usually one of three things: the site isn't showing up in local search results, it isn't clear enough about what you do and where you cover, or it isn't making it easy enough to get in touch. A trades website that loads fast on mobile, has your phone number prominent, and clearly states your services and service area will outperform a slow, vague one every time.
What's included in a SoloFoundry website build?
A fast, mobile-first website built specifically for your trade or local business. One-off fee, no page-builder subscriptions, no ongoing platform costs. Built and live typically within 1–2 weeks. We cover everything a trades website needs — services, areas covered, photo section, reviews, and a clear contact section. Ongoing care available from £79/month if you want us to handle updates.
Who is SoloFoundry — are you a big agency?
No. SoloFoundry was started by a tradesman, not a developer or a marketing agency. We work with small businesses and trades across the UK who want things done properly — a real website that gets them found, and practical AI tools that actually fit how they work — without agency prices or unnecessary jargon.
