Local coverage
The trade counter customer wants a stock list, not a brand story
A trade buyer visiting your website has usually already decided they need something specific, and is checking whether you stock it, roughly what it costs, and when the counter's actually open, often from a van on the way over.
Trade pricing is a genuinely different expectation to consumer retail. A published trade price guide, even approximate, keeps a browsing trade buyer engaged, while a site that hides pricing entirely behind an account login loses casual trade enquiries.
Opening hours matter more here than almost anywhere else. A trade counter open from 7am and shut by 3pm loses afternoon trade if the site shows generic '9 to 5' hours when the reality is different, and sends buyers away who never get the real picture.

Every one left by a real client on Google, Facebook, Trustpilot or Wix. Nothing here is a quote I chose because it flattered me.

What to fix
Four things trade buyers leave without
No indication of stock or product range
A trade buyer checking before the drive over needs to know roughly what you carry, and a site with no real product information sends them elsewhere.
All pricing hidden behind an account login
A published trade price guide, even approximate, keeps a browsing trade buyer engaged. Requiring a login before seeing anything at all loses casual enquiries entirely.
Generic retail hours shown instead of real trade counter hours
A trade counter open from 7am and shut by 3pm loses afternoon trade if the site implies standard shop hours instead.
No clear route to setting up a trade account
A trade buyer wanting to open an account with unclear next steps often just goes to a competitor whose process is obvious from the homepage.

Questions
Trade supply web design questions
Do you build sites for trade suppliers outside Medway, like in Sittingbourne or Ashford?+
Yes. I'm based in Gillingham but build across Kent, and industrial estates and trade parks across the county are exactly where this demand sits.
Can we show trade prices without a full e-commerce build?+
Yes, a published price guide or indicative pricing by category does most of the job without needing a full online store, especially if most orders are still placed by phone or in person.
Our hours are early starts and early closes, can the site reflect that clearly?+
Yes, and it should. Generic retail hours on a trade counter site actively send people away at the times you're genuinely open.
Can the site explain how to open a trade account?+
Yes, I'd build a clear, simple route to that rather than leaving it as a vague 'get in touch' with no real process shown.
How is this different from a generic web design agency?+
I build around what a trade buyer actually needs fast: stock, price and hours. A generic agency often defaults to a consumer-style brand site that answers none of those quickly enough.
