Websites for Tradies That Bring In Quote Requests, Not Just Clicks
Most homeowners look at your website before they decide to call. We build websites for tradies that show your best work, rank on Google for the jobs and suburbs you want, and make it easy for the right customers to ask for a quote.
5-Star Reviews
Your Work Speaks for Itself, but Only if People Can See It
A referral might give a homeowner your name, but most of them will still look you up before they pick up the phone. What they find in the next few seconds decides whether they call you or the next tradie on the list.
We see the same problems on tradie websites again and again. Brownjohn Constructions had a contact form that was almost impossible to read, Soldani Projects led with a stock photo instead of their own work, and Roof Ranger’s website kept crashing. All three businesses do excellent work, but their websites were not showing it.
Good website design fixes that. A tradie website built properly shows real jobs, explains each service clearly, and makes asking for a quote quick and easy, even on a phone in the middle of the day.
Website Results From Trade Businesses Like Yours
These are real numbers from real clients, and every one is published in full in our case studies.
Roof Ranger’s old website kept crashing. We rebuilt all 150 plus pages, carried their rankings across, and now most enquiries arrive from the page about the job rather than the contact page.
Two years on a DIY Wix website brought in no leads at all. The new site brought in its first enquiry on launch day and a job in the first week.
Three websites had never brought in a lead. The new one, built around Alfonso’s own work, delivered 14 enquiries and more than $100,000 of work in under five months.
Hear It From Tradies We Work With
We have built more than 100 websites for local businesses since 2017, and plenty of them are for trades. Here are two of those business owners talking about working with us, in their own words.
Laser Landscapes and Excavation
TreeRex Tree Management
Landed a $10,000 job in the first month after his new website launched.
What Every Tradie Website We Build Includes
Every trade is different, so we plan the pages around the work you want more of. These are the parts every tradie website we build includes.
A Page for
Every Service
If you want more retaining walls and fewer small repairs, your website should say so. Each service gets its own page that explains the job in plain English, so customers and Google both know exactly what you do.
Pages for the Suburbs
You Work In
People search for the job and the suburb, such as “roof restoration Penrith”. We create pages for the areas you want to win work in, so you show up where you actually want to travel.
Project Pages That
Show Your Work
Homeowners judge a tradie on what they have built. We turn your finished jobs into project pages with real photos and suburbs, which builds trust and gives Google more reasons to show your website.
Quote Forms That
Work on a Phone
Your quote form asks for the job, the suburb and the timing, so you have what you need before you call back. It is easy to fill in on a phone, and every enquiry lands in your inbox with a confirmation sent to the customer.
Licences, Insurance
and Reviews Up Front
Customers want to know they are hiring someone qualified. We put your licence details, insurance, memberships and Google reviews where people see them, so trust is built before the first call.
SEO Built In
From Day One
Every website includes keyword research and a page structure built around how customers search for your trade. You start with a website Google can understand, and our SEO for Tradies service can take it further when you are ready.
Why a Template Website Often Falls Short
Template packages and DIY website builders look like the cheaper option, and for some businesses they are enough. The trouble is that they are built to look tidy, not to bring in the jobs you want.
A template or DIY website
- The same layout as hundreds of other tradies
- One page that tries to cover every service
- Stock photos instead of your own jobs
- Little or no thought about what customers search for
- You are left to work out Google on your own
A website built for your trade
- Planned around the jobs and suburbs you want more of
- A dedicated page for each service and key area
- Your own projects, photos and reviews front and centre
- Built around the searches your customers use
- A Penrith team you can call when something needs changing
Brownjohn Constructions spent two years on a DIY website that never produced a lead. The new website brought in a job in its first week.

If you are a plumber, electrician, painter or another trade, the same approach works, because your customers look for you in the same way. We build tradie websites for businesses across Penrith, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Australia wide.
How Much Does a Tradie Website Cost?
One-page websites start from $1,997 + GST, and multi-page websites start from $4,500 + GST. The final price depends on how many services and suburbs you want pages for, how many projects we add, and any extra features such as a quote calculator.
Every website is quoted at a fixed price, so you know the full cost before anything starts. Payment is split into a 50% deposit to begin and 50% when your website is finished, or you can spread the cost with a payment plan over 12 or 24 months. Our guide to how much a website costs in Australia explains what changes the price.
Once your website is live, most of our clients stay on our care plan for hosting, updates and security, so the website keeps working while you get on with the job.
A Local Team That Understands Trade Businesses
We are Jordan and Simone, the husband-and-wife team behind JS Website Design. We started the business in Penrith in 2017, and since then we have built more than 100 websites, many of them for roofers, landscapers, builders and other trades.
When you work with us, you deal with us directly, from the first call through to launch day. A small, trusted team helps with parts of each build, and we stay closely involved in every project, so you always know who is looking after your website.
We know most tradies would rather be on site than in front of a computer, so we keep the process simple and tell you exactly what we need from you.
What Our Clients Say
Websites for Tradies FAQs
How much does a website for a tradie cost?
Our one-page websites start from $1,997 + GST and multi-page websites start from $4,500 + GST. Most tradies choose a multi-page website so each service and key suburb can have its own page, and you get a fixed quote before anything starts.
Do I need a website if I already get jobs from referrals or hipages?
Referrals and lead sites are a good start, but most people still look you up before they call. Lead sites also send the same job to several tradies, while an enquiry from your own website comes straight to you. A website gives you a source of work you control.
Should I use a website builder like Wix or Squarespace instead?
A DIY builder can get you online quickly, and for some businesses that is enough. The catch is that getting found on Google and turning visitors into quote requests takes planning that most templates skip. Brownjohn Constructions ran a DIY Wix site for two years without a single lead, and the website we built brought in a job in its first week.
Can I use photos I have taken on my phone?
Yes. Photos of real jobs, even ones taken on your phone, usually work better than stock images because customers can see your actual work. We will let you know which photos to send and how to get the best results from them.
Will my new website help me show up on Google?
Every website we build has SEO built in, including service pages and suburb pages planned around how customers search for your trade. In competitive areas, ongoing SEO for tradies usually makes the biggest difference over time.
How long does it take to build a tradie website?
It depends mostly on how many pages you need and how quickly photos and feedback come through. We give you a clear timeline before we start and keep you updated along the way, so you are never left wondering what is happening.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Once your website is paid for, the website and everything on it belong to you, and because it is built on WordPress you are never locked in to one provider.
Do you only build websites for tradies in Penrith?
No. We are based in Penrith and work with plenty of trades across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, and we build websites for trade businesses Australia wide.
