What it does
Trade businesses need a website that explains their services clearly and makes it simple for a customer to get in touch or book a visit. Refurb is designed around that job. It includes pre-designed home and inner pages tailored to plumbing and handyman work, plus service sections where you can describe each repair or maintenance offering in detail. Contact forms with validation and integrated booking forms give visitors direct ways to reach you.
You can adjust the layouts to match your brand, and the theme works with drag-and-drop page builders, so editing pages does not require code. The design is responsive across phones, tablets and desktops. If you want to sell parts, tools or services online, the theme is WooCommerce ready. Social media integration, translation support and right-to-left language support round out the setup for businesses serving a wider audience.
