They Google you before they call
Even if they got your number off your van or from a mate, most people search your name first. If nothing comes up, you look less established.
Someone's searching for your trade right now
When someone needs a builder or a plumber, most of them grab their phone, search, and look at two or three options before they ring anyone. A decent website is often what gets you that call.

The one with a proper website usually gets the call.
How people pick a tradie
Most people check you out online before they call. Here's where tradies lose work without knowing it.
No job photos, no proof
Anyone can say "quality workmanship." A gallery of real finished jobs is what actually convinces someone you can do theirs.
They're comparing you to two others
Most people get 2–3 quotes. If the other two have a site and you don't, you're the odd one out before price even comes into it.
On-site, not at a desk
You're checking messages between jobs, not answering emails at 9am. A site that makes it a one-tap call beats one that expects a form and a wait.
Trades I build websites for
If people search for what you do, a website will help. A few of the trades I work with:
- Builders
- Plasterers
- Electricians
- Plumbers
- Landscapers
- Painters
- Roofers
- Scaffolders
- Concrete and paving
- Fencing
- Detailing and PPF
- Any Nelson trade
What your site will have
Everything on it is there to help someone choose you and ring you.
Photos of your actual jobs
Real work you've done, not stock photos. It's what convinces people more than anything you write.
Your licences and insurance up front
So people can see you're qualified before they pick up the phone.
A call button that works
One tap and they're ringing you. Handy when they're looking you up on their phone.
Set up for Google
Your trade and "Nelson" in the right places, so you show up when people search for what you do.
Up and running quickly
Most tradie sites are live within about a week, once I've got your photos and details.
One person to deal with
Me. I'm in Nelson and I answer my phone.

Questions tradies ask me
I already get work through word of mouth. Do I really need a site?
Word of mouth is great for repeat and referral work, but it doesn't reach the person who's never heard of you and is Googling right now. A site catches that second group.
How long does it take?
Most single-page tradie sites are built and live within a week, depending on how quickly you can get me your photos and job details.
Do I need to write the content myself?
No. I'm a plasterer myself, so I know the trade side and what customers look for before they ring someone. Send me a few details about your work and I'll write it up, then you check it over before it goes live.
What if I already have a site?
No problem. Whether it's on Wix, WordPress, Squarespace or custom-built, I do small fixes, full overhauls and complete redesigns. Get in touch and I'll send you a price within 24 hours.
