Websites for Melbourne tradies — built for how you actually work.
You're on the tools all day. You can't afford to miss an enquiry, and you don't have time to chase people down. Your website should do that work for you — fast, mobile, and generating leads while you're on the job.
Your customers search on mobile, on site
70%+ of tradie searches happen on mobile. Someone's pipe just burst — they're not sitting at a desktop. They're standing in a wet laundry, phone in hand, searching "plumber [suburb] emergency". Your site needs to load in under 2 seconds and have your phone number one tap away. Anything slower and they've moved on to the next result.
What a tradie website needs (and most miss)
- Click-to-call button prominent on mobile — no hunting around for a phone number
- Fast loading — under 2 seconds, not the 4–6 seconds typical of template builders
- Google Business Profile linked — so your reviews and map listing reinforce the site
- Quote/contact form that fires an SMS alert instantly — you get pinged the moment someone enquires, even while you're on a job
- Basic local SEO for "[trade] [suburb]" searches — schema markup, suburb targeting, Google-readable structure
Built around a real emergency
I build every tradie site around how a customer in a hurry actually behaves on their phone — not how a web designer thinks they should. Fast load, obvious call button, lead alerts baked in. See the Apex Plumbing build →
