Your Own Professional Page — Stand Out and Win More Clients
Starting today, every professional on HandyHive gets something powerful: your own personal web page — a dedicated space to showcase your skills, display your best work, and make it effortless for customers to find and hire you.
What's New?
A Clean, Professional URL
Your profile now lives at a simple, memorable address like handyhive.eu/pro/maria-rivera instead of a long ID-based link. Share it on your business card, in emails, or on social media — customers can find you instantly. You can even customise your URL slug from your dashboard settings.
Rich Photo Gallery with Before & After
Gone are the days of a basic photo grid. Your new gallery supports:
- Up to 10 high-quality photos with titles, categories, and descriptions
- Before & After flip cards — show customers the transformation your work delivers
- A featured photo that appears first and sets the tone for your profile
- Automatic optimisation — your photos are resized and converted to modern formats for fast loading on any device
Detailed Services & Pricing
Customers told us they want to know exactly what you offer before reaching out. Now you can list up to 20 individual services with:
- Flexible pricing models — hourly rate, fixed price, "request a quote", or free estimates
- Duration estimates and descriptions for each service
- Emergency rates and minimum callout fees clearly displayed
This means fewer back-and-forth messages and more qualified leads landing in your inbox.
Tell Your Story
Your profile now includes space for a professional title, a tagline, a detailed bio (up to 800 characters), and specialisation tags — so customers understand what makes you unique at a glance. You can also list the languages you speak and the types of properties you serve (residential, commercial, or both).
Cover Photo & Availability
Add a cover photo to make a strong first impression. Set your availability status (Available Now, Available This Week, Fully Booked) and response time so customers know when to expect a reply.
Profile Completeness Score
A new Profile Completeness card on your dashboard shows exactly what's missing and how to improve your profile — with direct links to each section. A complete profile earns more trust, more clicks, and more bookings.
Privacy Controls
You're in control of who sees your page:
- Public — visible to everyone, indexed by search engines, in the HandyHive marketplace
- Unlisted — accessible via direct link only (great for sharing with specific clients)
- Private — hidden from everyone except you
Share & QR Code
A built-in Share button lets you copy your profile URL with one click. You can even generate a QR code to print on flyers, business cards, or van signage — customers scan it and land directly on your page.
Why This Matters for Customers
If you're a homeowner looking for a reliable professional, these changes make your search easier and more transparent:
- See exactly what a pro offers before reaching out — no guesswork
- Compare pricing models across professionals side by side
- View real project photos with before-and-after results
- Check availability and expected response times upfront
- Trust what you see — all gallery photos go through a quality review
What's Coming Next
This is just the beginning. In the coming weeks, we'll be adding trust badges (insurance, licensing verification), an interactive service area map, review responses from professionals, and profile analytics so pros can see how their page is performing.
