Web design for trades in Dartmouth
I build websites for plumbers, electricians and other trades working in Dartmouth, built to be found when someone across the harbour searches for the job. Dartmouth grew fast after the war, so a lot of its homes are now 50 years old or more, and its business parks and new housing bring a different kind of work. A Dartmouth trades site should speak to both.
What's different about working in Dartmouth?
Dartmouth's real growth came after the Second World War, and the Macdonald Bridge in 1955 set off a housing boom. Many of those post-war homes are now at the age where wiring, panels, pipes and heating get replaced.
Older Dartmouth, roughly east of Albro Lake Road and south of Lake Banook, is inside Halifax Water's zone where homes built before 1960 may still have lead service lines. The same free replacement and contractor rebate apply as in Halifax (checked October 7, 2026).
Burnside, which the city calls the largest industrial park north of Boston and east of Montreal, holds almost 1,400 businesses. That's commercial work a homeowner's page doesn't speak to.
And Shannon Park, where military housing was demolished in 2017, now has about 930 affordable homes planned between Build Canada Homes and the Province.
What should a Dartmouth trades website say?
If you take commercial work, give it its own page and name Burnside. A facilities manager searching for an electrician near Burnside isn't reading your residential page.
If you work on older homes, a page on lead line replacement in older Dartmouth, with the rebate and the date you checked it, answers a question a lot of post-war homeowners have.

Questions from Dartmouth trades
- Do you build websites for trades in Dartmouth?
- Yes. I'm based next door in Cole Harbour and work with trades across Dartmouth. The work is remote, so we only need to meet for photos.
- Should a Dartmouth trades site have a separate commercial page?
- If you want commercial work, yes. Commercial customers search differently from homeowners, and one page can't talk to both well.
