Websites for tradies
Your licence number up front, your phone number on every screen, and it loads on one bar of reception. From $500, and you see it before you pay.
Most tradies we speak to are not short of work. They are short of a way for a stranger to check they are real. Somebody gets your name off a neighbour, types it into their phone that evening, and finds a Facebook page last posted to in 2023 and a phone number on a directory site that wants forty dollars a month to show it.
That is the whole job of a trades website. It is not a brochure and it does not need to be clever. It needs to answer four questions in about eight seconds: are you licensed, do you do the thing I need, do you come to where I live, and how do I ring you right now.
What actually matters
Four things a tradie site has to get right
Your licence number, visible
In most states a licensed trade has to show its licence number in advertising, and a website counts. Rules differ by state and trade, so check with your own licensing body. Either way, customers look for it, and a site that hides it looks like it has something to hide.
The phone, not a form
Nobody fills in a contact form when their hot water has gone. Your number sits at the top of every screen and it is a tap, not a thing to copy out. Forms are there for the people who would rather not ring, not instead of ringing.
Where you actually go
Suburbs, not "servicing the greater region". Somebody in Ourimbah wants to see Ourimbah. It is also the single clearest signal to Google about which searches you should turn up in.
It works on a bad connection
Your customers are looking you up from a driveway, in a shed, or on the way to work. No heavy sliders, no video that eats their data. It loads on one bar or it may as well not exist.
Who this is for
The trades we build for
Plumbers and gasfitters, electricians, carpenters and chippies, builders, painters, landscapers and lawn care, tilers, roofers, concreters, fencers, mobile mechanics, pest and termite inspectors, air conditioning, and the mobile trades that work out of a ute and have never had anywhere to send people.
If you are licensed, mobile, and get most of your work by phone, the shape of the site is much the same. What changes is which job goes at the top.
See one
There is a tradie layout you can look at
We keep a working trades layout you can open on your own phone before you talk to anyone. It is a made-up business with a made-up phone number, there so you can see how it reads rather than to pretend it is a client. Yours would be the same shape with your work in it.
What it costs
Three prices, one payment, no monthly fee
$500, from a template
One of our proven layouts rebuilt with your photos, your words, your colours and your licence number. One to three days, two rounds of changes. This is what most tradies take.
$1,000, full custom
Designed from scratch, and worth it when you want a page for each trade so you turn up on Google for each one separately rather than just your business name.
$250, a fix
You already have a site and one thing is wrong with it: it does not work on a phone, it takes ten seconds to load, or it shows a "not secure" warning. One problem, properly sorted.
Nothing until it is live
You see a free mockup of your own site first. You pay once, after it is live and you are happy with it. There is no lock-in and the domain goes in your name, not ours.
Fair questions
The things tradies ask
I get all my work from word of mouth. Why bother?
Word of mouth still ends in a search. Somebody is given your name, types it in that night, and finds nothing. The site is where a recommendation lands. It does not replace the referral, it catches it.
Does my licence number have to be on there?
In most states a licensed trade must show it in advertising, and a website is advertising. It varies by state and trade, so check with your licensing body. We build the spot for it either way.
I have a Facebook page already.
That is rented ground. You do not control how it ranks, who sees it, or whether it is still there next year. It also cannot be your first result on Google for your own name. The site is the bit you own.
How long does it take?
One to three days once you say go. The slow part is usually getting photos off your phone, and if you have not got any we work with what exists and swap them in later.
Free mockup
See your site before you buy it
Tell us the trade, the business name and the suburbs you cover. We build a mockup of your own site and send it over. If you do not like it, that is the end of it and it has cost you nothing.
