WebWhy trades lose work online
Three things cost you jobs, and none of them are the logo.
You already do good work. The problem is what happens between someone hearing your name and someone booking you in.
Three months and $8,000
That is what an agency quotes for a site you could have had live weeks ago. Then they bill you again every time you phone them.
Your Saturdays, gone
DIY builders promise it takes an afternoon. It takes six weekends, and it still looks like you built it on a weekend.
The call you never got
Phone rings while you are up a ladder. You call back at six. They booked someone else at half past four.
You are not losing jobs because you are bad at the job.
The bit nobody else does
A missed call should not cost you the job.
Keep scrolling. This is what happens on the caller's phone while you are still holding a nail gun.
while the phone rings out
How it runs
Five steps. No meetings about meetings.
Most agencies take months and bill you for every phone call. We built software that does the heavy lifting, so you get agency quality on a small-business clock.

Questions people actually ask
The short, honest answers.
How much does a tradie website cost?
Fixed price, no hourly billing. Starter is $1,800 for 1 to 3 pages, Business is $2,490 for 4 to 6, and Premium is $3,890 for 7+ pages or a full online shop. You get the exact number up front, before any work starts.
Do I own the website?
Yes. Once the build is paid for in full, the website is yours. We keep ownership of the underlying tools and templates used to build it, but the finished design and content delivered to you belong to you.
What happens if I miss a call?
Missed-call rescue texts the caller back automatically within seconds, from the same number, saying you could not get to the phone and asking what they need. You ring back when you are free, instead of losing the job to the next name on the list.
Can I pay yearly instead of monthly?
Yes, and it is the cheapest way to buy it. Twelve months for the price of nine. Care Essentials is $2,682 for the year instead of $3,576, Care Growth is $4,563 instead of $6,084. Same plan, same terms, no lock-in either way.
Can I cancel?
Yes. Care plans run month to month with no lock-in. Give 7 days' written notice before your next billing date and there is no exit fee. Once a build is paid for it is yours regardless.
Do you work outside Brisbane?
Yes. We build and manage sites for tradies and small businesses across Brisbane, Ipswich and the rest of Queensland, all delivered remotely through the same quote, preview and portal process.
