A website for a handyman, live in minutes
Your problem is not that people do not need you. It is that they do not know which jobs count.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Everybody has a list of six small things they have been meaning to sort out, and the reason they have not is that none of them feels big enough to ring anybody about.
So the page is the list. Clay builds it from your Google listing and the jobs go on it by name, in the words a customer would use, with an hourly or half day rate beside them. Somebody reading it recognises three of their six and books a morning.
Why Clay
It pulls your info from Google
No blank page. Clay reads your Google business listing and fills in your name, photos, hours, map and reviews automatically.
A real website, not just links
Menus, bookings, a shop, a gallery, contact, Clay is a full site that also works as a link-in-bio, not a list of buttons.
Live in minutes, free to start
Search, pick a style, publish. No signup to see it, no credit card, and a free live address at name.clay.site.
Yours to grow
Bring a custom domain, add pro widgets, run multiple sites. It scales from a bio link to a full business site.
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
In their words, not in trade words
Flat pack, curtain poles, a door that sticks, a leaking tap, a shelf, a dripping toilet, a fence panel. Naming them is the whole page, because a customer scanning a list is counting how many of theirs are on it.
Trade words do the opposite. Nobody searches for general maintenance, and nobody recognises their own afternoon in it.
A morning, not a job
The way a handyman is actually booked is by the block, and saying so changes the conversation: a half day at a stated price is easier to agree to than four separate quotes.
It also solves the awkwardness of a customer with a two minute job who thinks they are wasting your time and therefore never rings.
What you can switch on
Every one of these is part of your site, not a plugin to install. Turn on what you use and leave the rest off.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.

Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
How many jobs should I list?
Enough that somebody recognises three of their own. Twelve to twenty named jobs is more useful than a paragraph about general maintenance, because a person scanning is counting matches rather than reading.
Should I publish a rate?
An hourly rate and a half day rate. Selling the block is what turns six small jobs into one booked morning, and a stated minimum stops the calls about a five minute job that were never going to be worth the drive.
What about jobs I will not do?
Name them. Gas, anything notifiable in the consumer unit and roofs above a certain height are the usual ones, and saying so up front saves you the call and reads as somebody who knows where the line is.
