The problem · Why it matters
Word of mouth has a ceiling. Google does not.
Your best work already speaks for itself. The trouble is the customer who has never met you, deciding between you and the next bloke right now, on their phone.
They check you before they call
Nobody rings a builder cold any more. They look you up first. No site, or one that looks like 2013, and you have lost the job before you ever knew it existed.
Tidy beats good
The builder who looks more professional online wins work off better builders every single day. It is not fair and it does not care how good your work is.
Referrals leak
Someone recommends you. They go searching, they cannot find you, they ring whoever turns up first. That is your reputation paying someone else's mortgage.
The build · $4,000 · standard build
Here is the whole thing, drawn.
Not a package with tiers and asterisks. One build, dimensioned, so you can see exactly what you are buying before you buy it.
Detail schedule
- 1 Your work, up front Real photos of real jobs. The thing that actually closes a builder’s customer.
- 2 One job per visit Every page points at the same thing: get them to ask you for a price.
- 3 Every service, every suburb A page each, so the right local finds the right builder.
- 4 The form does the asking Job type, suburb, timeline. You get a lead you can price, not a name.
Half to start. Half when you are happy.
Bigger scope, more pages, migrations and custom work quoted properly after a look.
The work · Click through any of them
Have a proper look, not a screenshot.
One live client and two concept builds. All three are real sites you can click every part of, on your phone, right now.
Live client
Satori Muay Thai
Built the site, ran the ads and organised the opening. It now ranks second on Google for muay thai Newcastle and books people in without anyone answering a phone.
Open it →Concept build
Hammond & Co Building
The full build, start to finish. Every service on its own page, a page for each suburb, the job gallery, the quote form. This is what $4,000 buys, and you can click every part of it.
Open it →Concept build
Bracken Plastering
A smaller trade, same machine. Proof the approach is not just for big builders: a plasterer gets the same job pages, the same one-tap calling and the same form.
Open it →The case for it · Why a website at all
Everything you do to win work ends up here.
Someone searches your name. Someone scrolls past you on Instagram. Someone gets handed your number at a barbecue. Someone taps an ad. All four end in the same place, on your website, working out whether you are worth ringing.
Word of mouth is the best lead you will ever get, and it is the one you have the least control over. It stops when the talking stops. A website does not stop. It works while you are on site, while you are asleep, and while the bloke down the road is still thinking about ringing someone.
That is why it is the backbone and not the extra. The posting, the ads, the referrals, the signage on the ute, all of it points at one place. If that place is weak, everything pointing at it is wasted.
You would not eat at a restaurant with a smashed window and a mouldy door. You would not even look at the menu.
Pricing · No packages, no asterisks
The build, then what it costs to keep it running.
One build, then only what you actually want after it. Everything past the build is month to month and you are never locked in.

Growth Partner
Tailored
Quoted after a proper look at the business.
The whole funnel, not just the site. Organic posting, paid ads on Google and Meta, email nurture and retargeting, all run for you. For builders who want winning work on autopilot while they stay on the tools.
- Everything in Growth
- Organic posting, written and scheduled for you
- Paid ads on Google and Meta, run and managed
- Email nurture so a lead does not go cold
- Retargeting the people who already looked
- We work out what it is worth before either of us commits
Buy cheap, buy twice. You already know that with tools. A cheap website goes one of two ways. Either you replace it properly later and you have paid for both, or it sits there quietly losing you more work than you ever saved.
Hosting and security is an ongoing cost, not part of the build. It starts the day the site goes live. Growth replaces it rather than stacking on top of it.
The process · Mostly my job, not yours
You stay on the tools.
Four steps. You see something real before you pay a cent, and the only work on your side is sending photos.
- 01 Day 0
A quick chat
Fifteen minutes. You tell me what the business does and which jobs you want more of. No deck, no pitch, no obligation.
- 02 48 hours
I build you a demo, free
Not a mockup, a working site with your name on it that you can click through on your phone. You have not paid me anything at this point and you are not committed to anything.
- 03 2 to 3 weeks
You send photos, I build it properly
A handful of good shots off your phone and the basics. That is your whole job. I write the wording, build every page, and you review it and tell me what to change.
- 04 Ongoing
It goes live and I keep it running
I host it, keep it secure and patched, and it starts getting found. Hosting and security is $90 a month from the day it goes live.
Questions · Answered straight
Before you get in touch.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from the day I have your photos and the basics. You see a free demo before that, usually within 48 hours, so you know what you are getting before you commit to anything.
What do I actually have to do?
Send me a handful of good photos of your work, tell me your services and the areas you cover, and look over the draft. That is the whole job. I write the wording, build it, set it up and host it.
What does it cost?
The standard build is $4,000. Half to start, half when you are happy with it. If a lump sum does not suit, you can pay it off instead: $1,500 to start and $250 a month for ten months. After it goes live, hosting and security is $90 a month. Bigger scope, more pages, migrations and custom work get quoted properly after a look.
Can I pay it off monthly instead?
Yes. $1,500 to start and $250 a month for ten months. That is the same $4,000, not a finance deal with interest on it, and hosting is $90 a month on top the same as it is for anyone else. While it is being paid off the site is licensed to you rather than owned by you, the same way a ute on finance is yours to drive but not yours to sell. When the last payment lands it is yours outright. Your domain is yours the whole time either way.
Can I get a website cheaper somewhere else?
Yes, easily. There are template builders for a few hundred dollars and some are free. Buy cheap, buy twice though. A cheap site either gets replaced properly later, so you have paid for both, or it sits there losing you more work than you ever saved. You are not paying me for a website to exist. You are paying for one that brings in jobs.
Will people actually find it on Google?
The site is built to rank from day one: your services and areas each get their own page, the technical setup is done properly, and the schema tells Google exactly what you do and where. Nobody honest can promise you a position, because Google decides that. What I can promise is that the groundwork is done right, and on the Growth plan I keep working on it every month.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain, your content, your site. No lock-in, and if you ever want to take it somewhere else you can.
What if I need something changed later?
On the Growth plan every edit you need is handled, no hourly billing and no waiting. On hosting only, small text fixes are included and anything bigger gets quoted before I start.
Why should I trust you with this?
I laid pipe, worked a coal port and did marketing for a real estate company before this. I know what a quote costs you to write and what a dead lead feels like. And you do not have to trust me up front: I build you a free demo of your own site first, and you decide from there.
