    Tradie websites, NZ

    Tradie website design for people who'd rather be on the tools.

    If your current site is a Facebook page, a half-finished WordPress thing, or a card someone made you in 2017, that's most tradies in NZ. A clean, fast tradie website that actually shows up on Google when someone in your area searches your trade is the cheapest marketing you'll ever do.

    What you actually get.

    • Built to rank for 'electrician [your suburb]' or 'builder [your region]'.
    • Click-to-call front and centre. Most leads come from a phone.
    • Real photos of your work, not stock images of ladders.
    • Fast quote form that doesn't make people fill in their life story.
    • Done in a week or two. Not three months of agency back-and-forth.

    Tradies don't need a fancy site. You need a site that does three things. Get found in local search, build a tiny bit of trust in 10 seconds, and make the call or quote button impossible to miss. That's it.

    I'll write the copy in plain English that sounds like you, not corporate marketing speak. I'll structure the pages around the trades and areas you actually want work in, so Google shows you to the right people. I'll add a one-question form so quotes are easy to send from a phone on a smoko break.

    Hosting is taken care of by me, so you've got nothing to set up or babysit. No 'website care plan'. No retainer. Your domain stays in your name. Need a proper email like name@yourbiz.co.nz? I can set you up on Google Workspace too.

    Honest pricing: most tradie websites I build land between $1.5k and $3k. You'll see a real working version before any invoice goes out. If it doesn't feel right, you walk and pay nothing.
