No sales pitch. Just an honest look at what's working and what's costing you jobs.

Building tradie websites for Canberra businesses including Inspired Fencing and Stop Leak Bathrooms.

The Problem

Your website shouldn't be another job on your list

You're flat out on the tools. The last thing you need is another lead-gen platform eating your weekends — or a website that's silently costing you jobs every time it takes six seconds to load.

Most Canberra tradies know their site isn't pulling its weight. They just don't have time to fix it — and they don't know who to trust to do it properly.

What's costing you jobs right now:

  • A site your mate's nephew built that looks like it's from 2010
  • Paying Wix or Squarespace every month and still doing all the work yourself
  • A WordPress site that needs constant updates, plugins, and security patches
  • Forking out $400+ a month on Hipages for leads you have to share with three other tradies
  • Missing enquiries because your site takes forever to load on mobile
  • Wondering if your site even shows up when someone in Belconnen searches "electrician near me"
  • Being stuck with an interstate agency that doesn't understand the Canberra market

  • Local Canberra icon

    Local. Actually local.

    Based in Canberra, building for Canberra. We know the suburbs your customers search from, the seasonal rush of frozen pipes in July and landscape jobs in September, and the difference between a Tuggeranong tradie's market and a Gungahlin one. We're the only tradie-specialist web design studio based here.

  • Speed icon

    Fast means more customers

    77% of people searching for tradies are on their phone. If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load, nearly half of them leave before they even see your number. Our sites load in under one second — guaranteed.

  • Hand-coded shield icon

    Secure with nothing to hack

    WordPress sites get attacked thousands of times a day. Our hand-coded static sites have no database, no login, no backdoor. There's literally nothing to break into. You'll never get a 2am email about a hacked site.

  • Money / no platform fees icon

    No platform fees eating your margins

    Wix and Squarespace charge you every month — and you still have to build and update the thing yourself. We handle everything. You send a text or email when something needs changing, we sort it.

  • 77%

    of tradie searches happen on mobile. If your site is slow on a phone, half your customers are gone before they see your number.

  • <1s

    page load time on every site we build. Faster than 95% of tradie websites in Canberra. Guaranteed.

  • 90+

    Google PageSpeed score, built in. Google ranks fast sites higher — that's free traffic you're not paying Hipages for.

Case Studies

Real Canberra tradies. Real results.

We've built websites for fencing contractors, bathroom repair specialists, sporting groups, and small businesses across the ACT. Here's what two of our tradie clients had to say.

Inspired Fencing

The challenge

Rowan from Inspired Fencing had paid an overseas company for a website that "was far below standards" — slow, generic, and costing him quotes.

What we built

A fast-loading, mobile-first website that shows off Inspired Fencing's projects and makes it dead simple for Canberra homeowners to request a quote. Hand-coded in HTML and CSS. Sub-1-second load times. Zero ongoing maintenance hassles.

I can honestly say that I couldn't be happier with all the work, time and effort Ben put into helping me re-create and launch my business website for Inspired Fencing. After having a website done by an overseas company that was far below standards, the recreated site has been a tenfold improvement for my business.

Stop Leak Bathrooms website hero showing bathroom repair and renovation services in Canberra

Stop Leak Bathrooms

The challenge

Alex runs a specialist bathroom repair business — fixing leaks without ripping out tiles. A niche service that needed a site that explained the process clearly and built trust quickly.

What we built

A clean, professional site that loads incredibly fast on phones (where 77% of his customers find him), explains his unique no-tile-removal repair method, and converts visits into enquiries.

Ben at Plentify Web Designs delivered exactly what my bathroom repair business needed. He took the time to understand my services and created a website that perfectly showcases what we do. The site loads incredibly fast and looks professional on both desktop and mobile. He didn't just build a website — he crafted our web presence that helps potential customers understand our repair process and builds trust through clear information about our services and experience.

Everything we keep doing once you're live

Hipages vs Plentify

What most tradies don't realise about Hipages

If you're paying for Hipages, you're not buying customers. You're buying the chance to bid on a customer — same chance as 3 or 4 of your competitors who got the same lead.

A typical Canberra tradie on Hipages spends $300–500 a month on the subscription, plus $30–80 per lead. That's $400–800/month minimum — and you're still racing your competitors to the bottom on price. A $180/month website pays itself off in roughly 2 leads — after that, every customer who finds you through Google is profit you don't have to share.

  • What Hipages buys you $400–800/month
    • A lead that's already gone to 3 or 4 other tradies
    • A customer who's price-shopping by definition
    • Reviews that live on Hipages, not on your business
    • A relationship Hipages owns, not you
    • Zero equity in anything you can sell, pass on, or take with you
  • What a $180/month website buys you From Plentify
    • Customers who find you directly through Google
    • A relationship that's yours, not the platform's
    • Every job builds your reputation on your site and Google profile
    • Your reviews stay with you — they go where you go
    • An asset that compounds — not a lead-gen treadmill

How It Works

From first chat to live site in 4 weeks

Four steps. Most tradies need to give us 30 minutes upfront — we handle the rest.

  • Free website review

    We look at what you've got (or haven't got) and have a straight conversation about what's working and what's not. No sales pitch.

    01

  • We build your site

    You give us your photos, logo, and 30 minutes of your time. We handle the rest — design, development, content, the lot.

    02

  • You review and refine

    We show you the site before it goes live. Want changes? No problem. We tweak until you're happy.

    03

  • Launch and start getting enquiries

    Your site goes live. You get found. Customers get in touch. We stay on hand to keep everything running smoothly.

    04
Pricing

Straight pricing. No surprises.

Two ways to work with us. Same hand-coded site, same Canberra-local support, same Green PageSpeed guarantee — just two ways to pay. Less than the cost of one decent service call per month.

We're not looking for one-off projects. We build websites for tradies who want a long-term partner keeping their online presence sharp. After the 12-month minimum, you stay because it's working — not because you're locked in.

Why Subscription Works for Tradies

Like leasing your work ute — fully serviced, always running

On paper, Wix is cheaper. But cheap costs you in places that don't show up on the invoice. The subscription isn't just a website — it's one less thing on your plate. We handle everything so you can focus on what actually makes you money.

  • Your time

    You're not building and updating it yourself. Every hour you spend fiddling with your website is an hour you're not quoting jobs or on the tools.

  • Your weekends

    Something breaks, we're on it. You're not Googling fixes at 9pm instead of switching off.

  • Lost customers

    No slow templates, dodgy mobile layouts, or "good enough" design that doesn't convert visitors into calls.

  • Real backup

    When you need help, you get a person who picks up the phone. Not a chatbot and a help article.

FAQ's

Questions tradies actually ask

Browse straight answers to the things Canberra tradies ask us most often — about cost, process, platforms, and what happens if you want out.

1
I already have a website — can you just fix it?
Maybe. If it's a Wix or Squarespace site, we'd usually recommend starting fresh since you'll never own that code anyway. If it's WordPress, sometimes a rebuild makes more sense than patching problems. Book a free review and we'll give you an honest assessment.
2
I don't have time for this
That's the point. We handle everything. You give us 30 minutes for a chat, send through some photos, and we do the rest. Most tradies are surprised how little input is needed from them.
3
Should I drop Hipages once I have a website?
Not immediately. Most of our clients run both in parallel for the first 6–12 months while their Google rankings build. Once organic enquiries are coming in steadily, plenty of tradies wind back their Hipages spend significantly. But that's your call — we just build the website that gives you the option.
4
What trades do you work with?
All of them. We've built sites for fencing contractors and bathroom repair specialists, and we're geared up for electricians, plumbers, builders, painters, landscapers, carpenters, roofers, concreters, tilers, locksmiths, HVAC, and any other trade serving Canberra and the surrounding region.
