Websites for Australian trades

Your work up front. Your number one tap away.

I build fast, phone-first websites for concreters, fencers, landscapers, earthmovers, tree services and stonemasons. $300 all up, and you don't pay a cent until you're happy with it.

  • Nothing to pay up front
  • Yours outright
  • Built for phones first

What I usually find

Most trade websites are quietly broken

Before I contact anyone, I open their website the way a customer would, on a phone. These come up again and again.

  • The site can't be reachedThe web address expired or stopped pointing anywhere, so people get an error page.
  • An old Google websiteGoogle shut down its free Business Profile websites in 2024. Links to them now just show a 404.
  • A security warningAn expired or wrong certificate, so Chrome shows "Your connection is not private" before anything else.
  • "Not secure"Sites without https now get a warning page in Chrome before they open.
  • A parked pageThe address is paid for, but it shows a page of ads instead of the business.
  • Never finishedA builder template with sample text still on it, or a "free plan" advert across the top.

Most owners have no idea, because they never visit their own site. Their customers do.

Examples

One for each trade I build for

Tap any of them to open the full site on your phone. Every one has your number on screen at all times, your services, recent work, the areas you cover and a quote form.

These are examples: the businesses are made up, they use a phone number set aside for fiction, and the photos are stand-ins. Your site gets your own name, photos, services, areas and reviews.

What you get

Everything a customer needs to call you

  • A fast website built for phones first, with a call button that stays on screen
  • Your services, your photos and the areas you cover
  • A quote form that comes straight to your email
  • Your best Google reviews on the page, if you'd like them there
  • Set up so Google can read your business name, number and service areas
  • Connected to your own web address, or help getting one in your name
  • Three rounds of changes
  • The first three months of me looking after it, included
  • Yours outright: the site and the web address belong to you

Price

$300AUD, all up
Nothing to pay until you're happy

You pay once the site is finished and you're happy with it, before it goes live on your address. If you don't like the draft, you don't pay anything.

$300 is my price for the first five clients, in return for a short Google review and permission to show the work. After that it's $900.

After three months it's your choice: $50 a month and I keep it updated and running, or nothing and it keeps working as it is.

How it works

Four steps, all by email

  1. Send your business nameEmail me, or just reply to my email. I start from your Google or Localsearch listing, so there's nothing to fill in.
  2. I build a draftUsually within a day or two. You look at it on your phone. Nothing to pay to look.
  3. We get it rightSend a few photos of your jobs and anything you'd change. Up to three rounds.
  4. You pay, it goes liveOnce you're happy, you pay the $300 and the site goes live on your address.

Who you'll deal with

Straight up

I'm Alex Chubukov. I work on my own, remotely from Vietnam, and everything happens by email: the draft, the changes and the handover.

That's how the price stays where it is, with no sales calls and no lock-in contracts. If you'd rather talk first, I'm happy to set up a video call at a time that suits you.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need a web address already?

No. If you have one, I connect the site to it. If you don't, I'll help you register one in your own name. The yearly fee for the address goes to the registrar, not to me.

Who owns the website?

You do. The site and the web address are yours. If you ever want to move it somewhere else, I'll hand everything over.

What if I don't like the draft?

Then you don't pay anything, and no hard feelings.

What happens after the first three months?

It's your choice: $50 a month and I keep it updated and running, or nothing and the site keeps working as it is.

My website is broken. Can you just fix it?

Sometimes the fix is simple, like a renewal or a setting with whoever hosts it. If that's all you need, I'll tell you.

Do I have to write anything?

No. I write the words from your listing, your reviews and what you tell me in a quick email. You check it and tell me what to change.

Get in touch

Want to see what yours could look like?
