How Much Does a Tradie Website Cost in Australia?

One national 2026 price guide puts a small business site of five to ten pages at $2,000–$6,000, and a single landing page from $800. For a trade business, the price depends on how many jobs and areas you want found, how customers get in touch, and how you pay once the site is live. Here's the breakdown, with our fixed prices.

The short answer for trade businesses

A national web design price guide, updated in October 2026, lists a single landing page at $800–$3,000, a typical small business site of five to ten pages at $2,000–$6,000 and a custom build at $6,000–$15,000. It puts freelancers at roughly $80–$150 an hour and agencies at $100–$250, and do-it-yourself builders at $30–$60 a month plus however many evenings you give them.

We build trade websites for a fixed $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages or $1,499 for up to eight. No GST is added. There's no deposit either: you see the finished draft, ask for changes until it's right, and pay only when you approve it.

Being a tradie doesn't make a website dearer or cheaper. The shape of the business does. A sole trader who gets most work by phone needs far less than a company with three crews, commercial contracts and a dozen towns to be found in. The sections below go through the parts that move the number.

Five things that change the price of a trade website

How many jobs you want found on their own. A list of services fits comfortably on one page. A job that's worth a lot and gets researched before anyone rings, such as a hot water system, a switchboard upgrade or a retaining wall, earns a page of its own with its own photos and quote button. Each of those adds to the page count.
How you describe where you work. A paragraph naming the suburbs and towns you cover costs nothing extra. Separate pages for each region add to the count, and they only pull their weight when each one says something real about the work there.
How customers reach you. Tap-to-call and a contact form come with the sites we build. A multi-step quote form that asks the job type, the suburb and for a photo takes longer to plan and test, so it's written into your quote.
How many photos you show. Ten or forty job photos sit happily on one page once they're compressed properly. What eats time is sorting hundreds of unlabelled phone shots, so pick your best and add a few words about each job.
Whether you take bookings or payments. Linking a booking app you already use is a button on the page. A booking and payment system built into the site is a larger job, and we quote it per job.

Which size suits which kind of trade

Matching a trade business to a website size
How the work comes in	Typical trades	What the site has to carry	Where we'd start
Mostly urgent calls	Plumbing, electrical, locksmiths, tree and storm work	Phone number on the first screen, licence, suburbs, a short form	One page, $399
Won on photos of finished jobs	Landscaping, tiling, painting, concreting, excavation	A large gallery, services, suburbs, a quote form	One page, or three if the services are quite different
A few distinct, higher-value services	A plumber doing hot water, gas and bathrooms; an electrician doing solar and EV chargers	A page for each service, each with its own photos	Up to 3 pages, $899
Several crews, regions or divisions	Contractors with domestic and commercial work, or more than one base	Service pages, region pages, a separate commercial section	Up to 8 pages, $1,499

Two trade sites we've built show how much one page can hold. Western Sydney Stump Grinding's single page has two quote forms and tap-to-call throughout, and it has brought in at least 62 jobs worth about $46,500 (read the case study). Tomi's Bobcat and Excavation in the Bega Valley fits three service sections, a swipeable 42-photo gallery and a testimonial carousel on one page.

If you can't decide between one page and three, start with the jobs you want more of. If none of them needs its own photos and explanation, one page will carry the lot, and pages added after launch are quoted before we start.

Licence details: often required, never extra

Licensed trades often have rules about advertising, and the official guidance in NSW and Queensland treats a website as advertising. In NSW, the government's guidance for building and specialist trade ads, which covers the internet, expects the licensee's name or registered business name, the licence number with the right category of work, and a business phone number. Queensland's QBCC lists websites, Facebook pages and vehicle signage as advertising that has to carry the name you're licensed under, your licence number and a statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act. It also says the QBCC logo can't be used at all, though linking to the QBCC website is allowed.

Electrical contractors in several states have their own wording to follow, which our electrician website cost guide covers. Rules differ between states and trades, so check your own regulator's guidance rather than relying on a summary. As for cost, there's nothing to it: we put your details in the footer of every page and near your phone number, and changing them later is a text change covered by hosting.

Prices work the same way. If you publish a call-out fee or a starting price, business.gov.au's guidance on displaying prices says the total price has to include compulsory charges and taxes such as GST, and where only part of a price is shown, the total has to be at least as noticeable. Getting that wording right costs nothing extra.

Paying once, paying monthly, and GST

If a website is offered as a monthly plan with a minimum term, ask who owns the site and the domain if you stop paying before you sign; our guide to the hidden costs of a cheap website explains why that matters. Others charge for the build up front, and the national guide says fixed quotes usually ask for a 30–50% deposit, with the rest paid in stages.

Then come the running costs. The same guide puts them at $75–$400 a month after launch: hosting at $15–$150, a care plan for updates, backups, security and small edits at $50–$300, and up to $100 a month in licences and plugins, plus $15–$30 a year for a .com.au domain.

For sites we build, hosting is $30 a month with no contract. Changes like another suburb in the list, a new call-out fee or fresh job photos are text and image changes on pages you already have, so they're included. A new page, say for a service you've just started offering, is quoted before we begin. Here's what each size costs over three years:

Three years with a WebCraft Studio trade site
Cost	One page	Up to 3 pages	Up to 8 pages
Build, paid once after you approve the draft	$399	$899	$1,499
Hosting for 36 months at $30	$1,080	$1,080	$1,080
Domain for three years, about	$60	$60	$60
Three-year total, about	$1,539	$2,039	$2,639

One more thing to line up is GST. A business with GST turnover of $75,000 or more has to register, and registered businesses can generally claim back the GST included in what they buy for the business. If you're registered, compare other quotes on their figures before GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so our prices carry none to claim back: the price shown is what you pay.

What you supply, and why it keeps the price down

Some web design quotes include time for writing your words and taking photos. We do neither. You send your own words and photos, and we arrange and format them into the pages. For most tradies that's less work than it sounds: you explain your jobs to customers every day, and your phone is already full of photos of finished work.

Here's what to gather before you ask for a quote:

your services, in your own words, marked with the ones you want more of;
the suburbs or towns you'll travel to;
your licence number and the exact name it's held under;
your best 10 to 40 job photos, with a line about each;
a few reviews customers have already left you;
your hours, and whether you take after-hours calls;
your logo, or a note that you don't have one, in which case we'll help with one at no charge.

Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks. The clock starts once we have your words and photos, so gathering them early is the quickest way to get live.

When spending more makes sense

A bigger budget with an agency is the better choice if you:

want someone to write your words or photograph your crews and vans, which we don't do;
want one firm to run your Google Ads and SEO every month as well as the site;
need tender documents, capability statements and project write-ups for commercial or government work;
want your site connected to job management, accounts and staff systems across several divisions.

A do-it-yourself builder can suit too, if you enjoy that kind of thing and have the evenings for it. For a sole trader or small crew who can send their own words and photos, though, much of a larger budget pays for work they won't use.

Questions to ask any provider before you sign

Is the price with or without GST?
How much do you pay before you see the site?
Is there a minimum term, and what happens to the site if you stop paying?
Is the domain registered in your name?
Are changes after launch included, or billed by the hour?
Will your licence number appear on every page?
Who supplies the words and the photos?
Do quote requests go straight to your phone or inbox?

There's a longer checklist in our guide to choosing a web design company, and the general figures for all kinds of business are in what a small business website costs.

Tradie website cost questions

How much should a tradie spend on a website?

Published 2026 figures put a typical small business site at $2,000–$6,000 and a single landing page at $800–$3,000. Most sole traders and small crews need one to three pages. Ours cost $399 for one page, $899 for up to three and $1,499 for up to eight, with no GST added.

Is a one-page website enough for a tradie?

For a business that gets most of its work by phone, usually yes. Services, suburbs, licence, photos, reviews and a quote form all fit on one page. It's worth moving up once a particular job is valuable enough to deserve a page of its own.

Does a tradie still need a website with a Google Business Profile?

Your profile does a lot of the work for nearby searches, and Google's guidelines tell service-area businesses that don't serve customers at their own address to hide it. A website gives customers one place to see all your work, check your licence and send a quote request with photos. Our guide to Google Business Profile and local SEO covers how the two work together.

Can customers book jobs online through my site?

Yes. If you schedule through a job app with online booking, such as ServiceM8, which hosts its booking forms for you, we put the link where customers will see it. If you need a booking and payment system built into the site, we build that too and quote it per job.

What does a tradie website cost to run each year?

With us, $30 a month for hosting after launch, plus about $20 a year for the domain: around $380 a year in total. That covers unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages, so updating suburbs, prices or photos doesn't add to it.

Is anything paid before the site is finished?

No. We build the draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you decide not to go ahead, you owe nothing.
