The problem
Sound familiar?
- All your work comes from word of mouth, and when it goes quiet, it goes very quiet.
- Your site was built years ago and it looks it — especially on a phone.
- Someone two suburbs away searches your trade and your competitor comes up. You do not.
- You've got a website. It has never once brought you a job.
- A mate's nephew built it and now nobody can change a phone number on it.
None of that is a design problem. It's a plumbing problem — and every trade understands plumbing. The line between someone searching for your trade and your phone ringing was never connected. That's the job we do.
What we do
Four things, done properly.
We don't do everything. We do the handful of things that actually put jobs in your calendar, and we do them well.
Google Business Profile
Half your work comes from the map, not the website.
Local SEO
Show up three suburbs over, not just on your own street.
Care plan
Hosting, backups, updates and someone who answers.
Our work
We built ours first.
Anyone can show you a pretty screenshot. Our first build runs our own locksmith business — open it and judge it like a customer would.
Our own locksmith business runs on it
SB Locksmith is ours — same owner as this studio. Its site does the things we sell here: it prices the job with a guided quote before anyone has to pick up the phone, takes bookings online, and puts the number where a person locked out at 9pm can find it. Everything we promise a tradie on this site was built for our own trade first.
Scope: Website, guided fixed-price quotes, online booking
What's included
Everything, in the price.
No line items that appear later. If it's on this list, it's in the quote you get.
Built for a phone first Seven out of ten people who find you are on a mobile, one-handed, standing in a leaking laundry.
Tap-to-call everywhere Your number is a button on every screen, not a line of text they have to copy out.
Quote form to your phone An enquiry lands as an email and, if you want, a text. You reply before your competitor has read theirs.
Google Business Profile Set up or cleaned up, with the categories, service area and photos that decide who shows in the map.
Service area pages A page for each suburb you actually work in, so you turn up in searches you're currently invisible for.
Your jobs, shown properly A gallery built for photos taken on a work phone, in bad light, with one hand.
Reviews on the page Your Google reviews pulled onto the site where they do the convincing.
Licence and insurance shown Your licence number where a customer can see it. In the trades that's half the trust battle.
Loads in under two seconds On 4G, in a black spot, in a basement. Because that's where people look you up.
Secure by default SSL certificate, security headers, daily backups. Not an upsell — a floor.
A dashboard you understand Calls, forms and where people came from. Four numbers, no charts you have to decode.
Ten-minute handover video How to change a price, add a photo, update your hours. Recorded for your site, not a generic tutorial.
First year of hosting Included. After that it's the cost of a coffee a week, or take it elsewhere — your call.
You own all of it Domain in your name, site in your account, files handed over. If you sack us tomorrow, you keep everything.
How it works
Six steps. Three weeks. No surprises.
-
A 15-minute call
You tell us what you do, where you work and what work you want more of. We don't need a brief — that's our job, not yours.
-
Fixed quote in 24 hours
One number, everything included, valid for 30 days. If we can't do it for that, we say so before you pay anything.
-
Structure and words
We write it. You read it and tell us what sounds like something you would never say. We fix it.
-
Design and build
You see it live on a link about a week in. Two rounds of changes are in the price.
-
Tested on real phones
Actual devices, not a simulator. Old Androids and cracked iPhones included, because that is what your customers have.
-
Launch and handover
We go live, hand you every login, and record the walkthrough video. Then we stay reachable.
Pricing
The prices are on the website.
We put them up because you've got better things to do than sit through a call to find out you can't afford it. Every price is fixed before we start.
Questions
The things everyone asks.
How much does a trade website actually cost?
Between $2,490 and $8,900 + GST depending on how many pages and suburbs you need. Every price is on our pricing page and every quote is fixed before we start. No hourly rates, no scope creep.
How long does it take?
Three weeks from the day you approve the quote, for most sites. The only thing that ever slows it down is waiting on photos and licence details from you — and we tell you exactly what we need on day one.
Do I actually own the website?
Yes, all of it. The domain is registered in your name, the site sits in your account, and you get every login at handover. If you decide to leave us, you take the whole thing with you and nothing breaks. We think charging you to hold your own website hostage is a rubbish way to run a business.
I've already got a website. Can you fix it instead?
Sometimes. If it's on a platform we can work with and the bones are sound, rebuilding on top is cheaper for you and we'll say so. If it's held together with tape, we'll tell you that too. The 15-minute call is free either way.
Do I have to write all the words?
No. You talk, we write. The call is where we get what we need — what you do, what you don't do, what customers always ask you. You read the draft and tell us anything that doesn't sound like you.
Will it get me to the top of Google?
Nobody honest can promise you a position, and anyone who does is selling something. What we can do is the work that actually moves you: a properly set-up Google Business Profile, a page for each suburb you serve, a fast site, and reviews coming in steadily. That's what gets trades into the map pack.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. The build is a one-off fixed price. The care plan is month to month and you can stop it with an email — we will not ask you why, and nothing switches off that you paid for.
What happens after it goes live?
You get a ten-minute video showing how to change prices, add job photos and update your hours on your own site. If you'd rather not touch it, the care plan covers changes, hosting, backups and updates. Either way you can reach a person, not a ticket queue.
Want to know what it would cost?
Tell us your trade and where you work. You get a fixed quote back within one business day — and if we are not the right fit, we will say so and point you somewhere better.
