Websites for Adelaide sparkies and electrical contractors, from an Adelaide team on Hutt St. Your licence number shows on every page, the work you want more of is named plainly, and a customer whose power has dropped out can ring you with one tap.
People looking for an electrician usually want one of three things: someone to come now, a price on planned work such as solar or an EV charger, or a job with a deadline, like smoke alarms after settlement. Each of them should reach your phone number in a couple of taps.
Your number sits at the top of every page as a call button. Beside your after-hours details, a short note can say that if the whole street is dark, it's probably a network fault for SA Power Networks (13 13 66, 24 hours) rather than a job for you, which saves both of you a wasted call at 11pm.
South Australia has its own requirements for new solar systems, including remote disconnection and a nominated Relevant Agent. If you install solar, a page that explains this in plain words, and how you set it up for the customer, answers a question that would otherwise eat into the quote visit.
Whether an EV charger is a simple job often comes down to the switchboard and the supply. The quote form can ask for a photo of the board and of the spot where the car parks, so you can price it, or flag an upgrade, before you drive out.
Smoke alarm work after a house sale arrives with a deadline attached. A short section aimed at new owners, conveyancers and property managers, with the alarm types you fit and how quickly you can book in, makes it clear you take that work on.
Captioned photos such as "Switchboard upgrade, Modbury" or "Downlights and ceiling fans, Glenelg North" show your standard of work and where you've been. A dozen honest phone photos say more than a stock picture of a light bulb.
North, south, east, west, the Hills, and Gawler or the Barossa if you go that far. We list the suburbs you cover under headings like those, so someone in Golden Grove can see straight away that you're nearby, without wading through a wall of postcodes.
Electrical contractors in South Australia are licensed by Consumer and Business Services (CBS) under the same Act that covers plumbers and gas fitters, the Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Electricians Act 1995. The business that contracts for the work needs an electrical contractor licence, and whoever does the work needs electrical worker registration. CBS's guidance says your licence number must be in any advertising to the public, which includes your website, business cards and van as well as paid ads on radio, TV, online or in newspapers. We put your number in the footer of every page and next to your phone number, where people who check licences will look, and they can confirm it on the state's licence register.
Certified electrical work in SA is documented with an electronic certificate of compliance (eCoC) through the Office of the Technical Regulator (OTR). One line on your site saying you issue an eCoC for every job that needs one is worth the space, because builders, property managers and careful homeowners ask. For solar the paperwork goes a step further: SA Power Networks requires installers to confirm the customer's chosen Relevant Agent on the eCoC.
Two state rules are worth explaining if you do the work. Smoke alarms: Adelaide council guidance, such as the City of Marion's, says home buyers have six months from the transfer of title to install either a mains-powered, hard-wired alarm with battery back-up or a 10-year, non-removable lithium battery alarm. Solar: systems installed since 28 September 2020 have to be commissioned so that a Relevant Agent, chosen by the customer from the state government's list, can disconnect and reconnect them remotely.
Adelaide's metropolitan councils run from Playford and Gawler in the north to Onkaparinga in the south, with Adelaide Hills Council taking in the Hills to the east. For a sole trader that's a long run from Munno Para to McLaren Vale. Decide where an ordinary call-out stops being worth the fuel, say so on the site, and list any bigger jobs you'll travel further for, such as solar installs or commercial fit-outs, in a separate line.
We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St. We haven't built a site for an electrician yet, so our examples below are other trade businesses with the same moving parts an electrical site needs. Projects run by phone and email, which means you can answer our questions from the van; if you'd rather meet first, that can be arranged.
We don't have an electrician in our portfolio yet. The closest examples are other trades: Bright Building & Renovations and SA Painting Professionals here in Adelaide, plus M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland and Western Sydney Stump Grinding. Between them they use the pieces an electrical site needs: quote forms, service-area pages or lists, job galleries and tap-to-call.
An Adelaide painting company working on homes and businesses across the state. Its site has 12 service pages, region pages and a suburb and postcode search that lets a customer check coverage before filling in the quote form, an approach that suits an electrician with a firm service area.

Yes. CBS's guidance says your licence number has to appear in any advertising to the public, and it lists websites along with business cards, trade vehicles and paid radio, TV, online and newspaper ads. We put it in the footer of every page and beside your contact details, and customers can check it on the state's occupational licence register.
Not yet, and we'd rather say so. Our closest examples are other trades: Bright Building & Renovations and SA Painting Professionals in Adelaide, M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland, and Western Sydney Stump Grinding, which has landed at least 62 jobs through a one-page site. Between them they cover what an electrician needs: tap-to-call, quote and contact forms, service areas and job photos.
If you do that work, briefly, yes. One line saying you issue an electronic certificate of compliance for every job that needs one reassures careful customers, and a solar page can explain the remote disconnection requirement and how you handle the Relevant Agent. You give us wording you're comfortable with, and we place it where it will be read.
If commercial is a small part of your work, one page with a separate commercial section is enough at $399. If you want commercial clients, solar customers and homeowners each to land on a page meant for them, the 3-page site at $899 suits. A crew with several divisions is better on the 8-page site at $1,499.
