What it costs
What a tiler website should cost
A tiler's site earns its keep by showing precision that lets you charge for quality. Here is what it costs and why a cheap site quietly undersells the very thing you are selling.
From £297, live in 7 days, on your own domain.
Tiler website cost
The short answer on cost
A tiler website cost starts from £297 for a spec-built site on your own domain, live within seven days, with the first three months of care included. That sits below the agency quotes of several thousand and above the near-free page builders, both of which mislead you. For a tiler, the price is small against jobs that are worth a good deal each, a full bathroom, a kitchen, a floor, so a single job covers the whole cost. But the real value is not just being found, it is being shown well enough to win on quality rather than price.
That is what makes the tiler’s website cost worth thinking about carefully. Tiling quality is visible and unforgiving, and customers who care about the finish will pay for precision they can see. A site that shows your detail properly lets you charge for that quality. A site that hides it, or shows it small and blurry, drags you back into competing on price with tilers whose lines are not straight. The cost buys the difference.
What the build price covers
When I quote from £297 to build a tiler’s site, the money buys a portfolio that shows your precision.
It buys close-up photos of your genuine work, the neat cuts, level lines and clean edges that prove your standard, organised by type so people find what they want. For a trade judged on visible detail, this presentation is most of the value, because it is what lets a careful customer see the quality they are paying for.
It also buys findability and speed: a structure that ranks for bathroom, kitchen and floor tiling searches, and a fast build, because these searches happen on phones and a slow gallery loses people before your best close-up loads.
Why cheap hides your one advantage
For a tiler, a cheap site carries a specific, self-defeating risk: it hides the detail that is your whole selling point. Your advantage over a corner-cutting competitor is visible precision, and a clunky page builder that shows your work small, blurry or slow throws that advantage away. The customer cannot see the crisp cuts and level lines that would have won you the job at a proper price.
So the usual bargain logic backfires hard here. A cheap site saves a little and undersells the very quality you are trying to charge for, leaving you competing on price with tilers whose work is worse. A properly built portfolio shows your finish crisply and close, so the customers who care about detail, the ones who will pay for it, can see it and choose you. Paying a little to show your quality is not indulgence, it is what makes charging for quality possible.
Weigh it against winning on quality
Here is the right way to think about a tiler website cost. Do not weigh it against zero or against an agency quote. Weigh it against the quality jobs a good portfolio wins. Bathroom and kitchen tiling is worth a good deal, and winning a single job you would otherwise have lost, because your close-up work convinced a careful customer you were worth the price, covers the whole build several times over. After that, the site keeps turning detail-conscious customers into enquiries at a small monthly cost. For a trade where visible precision is the product, a few hundred pounds to show that precision properly is one of the smartest things a tiler can spend on, because it is what lets you win on quality instead of price.

Common questions
Questions I get asked.
How much does a tiler website cost?
I build them from £297 as a one-off, live on your own domain within seven days, with the first three months of care included. After that it is £49 a month for hosting and small edits, which you can stop any time. Against bathroom and kitchen tiling jobs worth a good deal each, a single job covers the whole cost, so it is a small outlay for a portfolio that wins quality work.
What am I really paying for in a tiler website?
A portfolio that shows your detail up close, so customers can see the precision they are paying for. Tiling is judged on the finish, so most of the value is in clear, close photos that prove your standard and let you win on quality rather than price. You are paying for a site that turns careful customers into enquiries by showing them exactly how good your work is.
Why do some tiler websites cost thousands?
Agencies bundle designers, managers and often a WordPress build, none of which shows your tiling detail any better than a clean, fast portfolio. You are paying their overheads. A tiler needs a site that displays close-up work and loads fast, not an enterprise build, and paying enterprise prices for one is money better spent on tools or a decent tile cutter.
Is a cheap DIY website enough for a tiler?
Usually not, and it works against you specifically. Page builders are generic and often slow, and a clunky gallery that shows your work small and blurry undersells the precision that is your whole selling point. When you are trying to win on visible quality, a cheap site that hides the detail is self-defeating. A properly built portfolio shows your finish crisply, which is what wins quality work.
Are there ongoing costs beyond the build?
A domain is about ten to fifteen pounds a year and you own it. My monthly plan covers hosting, backups and up to two small edits, so you can keep adding close-up photos of new jobs, which matters for a tiler's portfolio. Nothing is hidden, and a static site has almost nothing to break, so there are no surprise invoices.
How quickly does a tiler website pay for itself?
Usually on the first job. Bathroom and kitchen tiling jobs are worth a good deal, so winning a single one you would otherwise have missed, because your portfolio showed the customer your quality, covers the whole build several times over. After that it keeps turning careful customers into enquiries at a small monthly cost.
