Website Design for Tradies in Australia
Most tradie websites are either a free Wix page thrown together on a Sunday arvo, or something a mate's kid built five years ago. Neither one is getting you found on Google. A proper tradie website needs to load fast on a phone (because that's where 70%+ of your traffic comes from), show up when someone searches your trade plus their suburb, and make it dead simple to call or book. We're talking click-to-call buttons, online booking forms, a Google review widget that shows your real ratings, and service area pages for every suburb you cover. That's what turns a website from a digital business card into something that actually brings in work.

The Problem
Why Your Current Website Isn't Working
Your website looks like it's from 2015
Two out of three customers check your website before they call. If it looks dodgy, they'll scroll right past you and ring the tradie with the professional site. First impressions happen online now, not at the front door.
Google doesn't know you exist
If you're not showing up for '[your trade] + [your suburb]' searches, you're handing work to whoever is. Most tradie sites aren't set up for local SEO, and that's hundreds of missed leads every month. We fix that with plumber-specific, electrician-specific, and trade-specific page structures.
No way to book or enquire after hours
Customers search for tradies at 9pm when something breaks. If your site just says 'call us' with no form or booking option, they move on. Our booking automation keeps leads coming in 24/7.
Painfully slow on mobile
More than half your visitors will leave if your site takes longer than 3 seconds to load on their phone. That's not a stat we made up — Google published it. Every slow second is a job you'll never know about.
What You Get
Everything Included in Your Website
Key Features
Built Specifically for Your Industry
Service Pages That Rank
A page for each thing you do — hot water systems, blocked drains, switchboard upgrades, whatever. Each one built to rank for those exact searches in your area. Not one generic 'services' page trying to do everything.
Before & After Gallery
Show your work. Nothing convinces a customer faster than seeing a dodgy bathroom turned into something they'd put on Instagram. We make it easy to add new photos from your phone.
Suburb-Level SEO
We build pages targeting every suburb you work in. When someone Googles 'plumber Parramatta' or 'electrician Bondi', you actually show up. This is how the top-ranked tradies dominate local search.
FAQ
Common Questions
How much does a tradie website cost?▼
A standard 5-page site starts at $1,500. That covers design, development, mobile optimisation, and SEO setup. If you want service area pages, booking integration, and extra features, it's more like $2,500-$5,000. Hosting and maintenance are included in your monthly automation package. We also build websites for specific trades — check out our plumber, electrician, and painter pages.
How long until my site is live?▼
Two to three weeks for most tradie sites. First week is discovery and design, second week is building and adding content, third week is testing and going live. Need it quicker? We can get a standard site done in 7-10 business days if you're ready to go.
Will it actually work on phones?▼
We design for phones first, then make it look good on bigger screens. Not the other way around. Over 70% of people looking for a tradie are on their phone, so that's where your site needs to shine.
Can I update it myself or do I need you?▼
Both. We give you a simple editor for text and photos. But honestly, most of our tradie clients just text or email us and we make changes within 24 hours. It's included in the monthly package — one less thing for you to think about.
What about getting found on Google?▼
Every site comes with proper SEO baked in — page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image tags, local schema markup, and Google review integration. That's your foundation. For ongoing SEO and content, we offer that as an add-on. If you want to understand more about how we work, check out our process page.
