Web design for trades in Truro
I build websites for plumbers, electricians and other trades working in Truro, built to be found when someone in town or across Colchester searches for the job. Truro has older housing than most of the province, more renters than owners, and a long history of flooding. A Truro trades site should be written for those three things.
What's different about working in Truro?
Statistics Canada's 2021 census counts 12,954 people in the town, up 5.7% since 2016. Of 6,350 occupied homes, 2,570 were built in 1960 or before, and 530 need major repairs.
More homes are rented (3,650) than owned (2,700), so landlords and property managers are a big part of who hires a trade here.
Truro floods often enough that the town commissioned a Flood Risk Study, finished in 2017. The town also has 55 municipally registered heritage properties and three heritage conservation districts with their own rules.
What should a Truro trades website say?
Talk to landlords. A page on work for rental properties, with how you handle tenants, keys and invoices, answers a search most trades sites ignore.
Write for old houses. With 2,570 homes from 1960 or before, the jobs are older-house jobs, and saying so in plain words matches what people type.
Truro is the Hub of Nova Scotia, with the main highways meeting here. If you cover Colchester County around it, list the communities you actually drive to.
Questions from Truro trades
- Do you build websites for trades in Truro?
- Yes. I'm based in Cole Harbour and the work is remote, so a Truro trade gets the same build as one in Halifax.
- Should my Truro site mention flooding?
- If you do water or basement work, yes. Link to the town's flooding page rather than restating it, and say what you do.
