Built for Independence.
Designed for You.
TradeLocal was created to give everyday business owners and creators the freedom to build and own their digital presence — without relying on big tech or paying forever.
Our Story
It Started with One Idea: Stop Renting
TradeLocal was founded by Chad Raney, a long-time entrepreneur who got tired of watching small businesses pour money into platforms that only gave them partial control. The mission was simple: make it possible for anyone to launch a professional website, own it fully, and never worry about monthly hosting fees again.
The Mission
