Web design for tradies in Melbourne
We build websites for Melbourne tradies: plumbers, sparkies, builders, painters, landscapers, concreters and everyone in between. One-page sites start at $1,699 + GST, which is all a lot of trades need. Multi-suburb sites run $2,490 to $3,490 + GST.
Not a template factory. Not an agency that vanishes once the invoice clears.

What a tradie website actually needs
Most tradie sites fail for the same handful of reasons. Here’s what we build in from the start.
Tap-to-call on every screen
Your customer is standing in a flooded laundry holding a phone. They’re not filling in a form. The number stays locked to the screen on mobile.
A page for every suburb
One page saying “servicing Melbourne” won’t rank for “electrician Coburg”. A separate page for each suburb will.
Photos of your actual jobs
Not stock images of someone else’s van. Before-and-afters do more work than any amount of copy.
Licence number and insurance, visible
Commercial clients and property managers look for it. So do homeowners who’ve been burned before.
Fast on 4G
Five seconds to load on a phone and you’ve lost them to the next result. We build light and host in Australia.
A quote form that lands in your inbox
No portal. No login. No app to check. The enquiry goes straight to the email you already read.

What we have learned building websites for trades
After six hundred sites, most of them for trades and local services, the pattern is consistent. Trade customers do not read; they scan for four things in about ten seconds: do you do the job I need, do you cover my suburb, can I trust you, and how do I contact you. Every tradie site we build is laid out around those four questions, in that order, with the phone number visible the whole time. Everything else on the page is there to support the answer, not to fill space.
The trades that get the most from a website are the ones with a defined service list and a defined patch, because that is exactly what Google rewards. A page for each service and each main suburb, with photos of real jobs and a few sentences that sound like a person, will outrank a generic 'we do everything everywhere' page almost every time. It also converts better, because the customer sees their suburb and their problem on the screen.
The most common mistake we fix is a site that looks fine but does not ring. Usually the phone number is a graphic that cannot be tapped, the form goes to an email nobody checks, or the page takes eight seconds to load on a phone in a driveway. We build light, host in Australia, test the enquiry path on a real phone and make sure the Google Business Profile points at the right pages, so the site actually produces work.

Want a separate page for each suburb you cover? Small Business at $2,490 + GST gives you up to seven pages. Business Pro is $3,490 + GST where you need online bookings. The price is fixed before work starts.
One-page sites go live in a week. Small Business sites take two to three weeks from the day we have your content and photos.
Every site is built with local SEO in place from day one, with suburb pages, schema markup and proper page speed. Most trade clients see their first organic enquiries within 30 to 60 days of launch, though that depends on how competitive your suburbs and trade are.
Completely. You own the site, the domain and the content and you can move hosting or change providers whenever you like.
Yes. We build on WordPress and hand over a site you can edit: change photos, add services, update your number. If you’d rather not, our care plans cover it from $32.95/month.
A Facebook page doesn’t rank in Google search and lead platforms charge you per job while sending the same enquiry to three of your competitors. A website is the one channel you own outright.
Phone photos of your own work beat stock images every time. Send what you’ve got and we’ll work with it.
Yes. Care plans cover WordPress updates, security, daily backups and uptime monitoring, from $32.95/month. Monthly content changes are included on our higher care plans.
