Websites for Melbourne businesses

Good work.
Great reviews.
No website.

Clients search you up before they ring. We build trades a proper website and fix up their Google listing, so that search turns into a quote request. It's live in 7 days, and you see a draft before you pay a cent.

From $1,490, or $179/month with nothing upfront.

What you get

A site that gets you the call. Not a brochure.

Every site is built around one job: turning someone who found you on Google into a quote request in your inbox or a call on your phone.

01

Pages that win the quote

Services, project gallery, the suburbs you cover, and a quote form that asks the right questions so you can price it before you call back.

02

Your Google listing, fixed

Categories, services, photos, hours and a proper website link. For local trades, this is where most of the calls come from.

03

Built for a phone in a driveway

Fast on mobile data, a call button always in reach, and clear photos. That's how most clients will see it.

04

Yours. No lock-in.

Your domain and your site are in your name. Leave whenever you like and take it with you.

The schedule

Live in 7 days.

It's run like a job, with a start date, a finish date and no surprises. You're needed for about an hour in total.

How it works in detail →
  1. Day 0

    Quick call and intake · You

    A 15-minute call and a short form: your services, suburbs, photos and logo. Deposit paid. The clock starts.

  2. Day 1

    Copy and structure · Us

    We write every page from your answers and lock the layout. You don't write a word unless you want to.

  3. Day 2–3

    Build · Us

    Site built on a fast trade template, styled to your brand. Your Google Business Profile gets fixed up at the same time.

  4. Day 4

    Checks · Us

    Phone and desktop testing, quote form tested end to end, speed and SEO basics checked.

  5. Day 5

    Your review · You

    You get a private link. One round of changes, all in one go.

  6. Day 6

    Changes and domain · Us

    Changes made, your domain connected. If you don't have one, we sort it.

  7. Day 7

    Live · Us

    Site live, linked to your Google listing, submitted to Google. A short video shows you around.

The clock pauses if we're waiting on you for more than a business day. Miss 7 days through our fault and your first 3 months of care are free.

Who you'll deal with

"I run small businesses myself, so I know a website has to pay its way. You'll deal with me directly, on the phone, and you'll know exactly what you're paying for."

Ian Rice · Founder, Chalkline Studio · Melbourne, VIC

Straight answers.

Do I need to write anything?

No. A 15-minute call and a short form are enough. We write the pages and you check them.

I get my work from word of mouth. Why bother?

Word of mouth still ends in a Google search. People look you up before they call. If there's nothing there, or just an old Facebook page, they ring the next listing.

Can you guarantee I'll rank first on Google?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who says they can. We do the things that help you show up: a fast site, correct local SEO, a complete Google profile and a steady flow of reviews. Then we report on what's happening every month.

What if I already have a site?

If it's slow, broken or hard to use on a phone, we'll rebuild it on your existing domain and keep anything worth keeping.

Who owns it?

You do. Domain, site and content. On the pay-monthly option, ownership transfers after the 12th payment.

We'll build your draft first.

Tell us your business name. We'll put together a draft of your new site from your public details and send you the link. No cost, no obligation.
