Web design for tradies

Tradie websites that get the phone ringing.

Website design for NZ plumbers, electricians, builders and other trades. When someone searches your trade and town at 10pm with a leaking pipe, you want to be the one they find — and the one they call.

We're a two-person studio based in Golden Bay, building for tradies across Nelson, Tasman, Marlborough and the rest of NZ. Fixed quotes, every price incl. GST, and you deal with the people doing the work.

What matters

What a good tradie website does

Shows up on Google

Your trade and the towns you cover, written so Google understands them — the searches a Facebook page can't win.

One tap to call

Your number at the top of every page on a phone. Most people looking for a tradie are on their phone and want to ring now.

Shows your work

A clean gallery of recent jobs does more to win a quote than any amount of copy. Before-and-after photos work especially well.

Filters the enquiries

A quote form that asks for the job, the address and a photo, so you know what you're walking into before you call back.

FAQ

Common questions from tradies

How much does a tradie website cost?

Our tradie websites start at $350 incl. GST for a simple brochure site. A site with a quote form and project gallery is typically around $1,200. Every price includes GST — many quotes you'll see are "+GST", so add 15% to compare. For a range based on your own answers, try the website cost calculator.

Is a Facebook page enough for a tradie?

It's better than nothing, but it won't put you in Google results when someone searches your trade and town. We wrote an honest comparison: do tradies need a website, or is Facebook enough?

Will my site show up when people search for a plumber or electrician near them?

Every site is built fast, mobile-friendly and with your trade and service area written in plainly — the groundwork Google looks for. Climbing higher for competitive searches is ongoing work; see SEO for tradies and small businesses if you want help with that, and set up a free Google Business Profile so you appear in the map results too.

Which trades do you build websites for?

Plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, roofers, landscapers, arborists, mechanics, cleaners — any trade where customers need to find you, trust you and call you.

I'm flat out on the tools. How much of my time does it take?

Not much. We'll ask for your services, service area, a few photos of recent jobs and any reviews you've got, then write and build the rest with you. Most brochure sites are live within two to three weeks of having your content ready.

Who looks after the site once it is live?

You own the site and domain outright. Most clients add a hosting plan so hosting, security and backups are sorted, and changes are a quick email away.
