Websites for glaziers and glass companies that get a shopkeeper with a smashed front window through to you before opening time, show a renovator the frameless shower screens you've fitted, and collect the measurements you need to price a job.
Glass work comes in two kinds of enquiry. Breakages are urgent: a window put through by a cricket ball, a shopfront after a break-in, a sliding door that shattered overnight. Planned jobs are not: shower screens for a new bathroom, a splashback, mirrors, a glass balustrade or double glazing. The first group wants your number and your hours; the second wants photos and an idea of price. One site can serve both if it keeps them apart.
A strip at the top of every page with the number for broken glass, the hours it's answered and the suburbs you'll attend. Explain what an urgent call-out usually involves: making the opening safe, boarding up or fitting temporary glass, then measuring for the permanent pane. Only say 24/7 if someone really answers at 3am; a customer whose call rings out at that hour is likely to try the next glazier instead.
Photos of frameless, semi-frameless and framed screens you've installed, each with the glass, the hardware finish and the shape of the space (over a hob, beside a niche, a single fixed panel). Splashback colours are hard to judge on a phone, so every photo carries the colour name and a note that it will look slightly different in person. These customers usually arrive mid-renovation, so say when in the job they should book the measure-up.
Width and height of the glass or the opening, the frame type (aluminium, timber or frameless), single or double glazed, which floor it's on, and a few photos. For shower screens, ask about the hob or level floor, the wall tiles and whether the walls are square. Mark the fields that are optional, so a customer who doesn't know the glass thickness still sends the enquiry.
Customers don't always see why the glass in a door or a balustrade costs more than a standard window pane. AS 1288, Glass in buildings – Selection and installation, sets requirements for glass where people may come into contact with it, as well as for overhead glazing, barriers and balustrades; the current edition is AS 1288:2021. A short page on which glass you use where, and why, answers that before the quote lands in their inbox.
In NSW, glazing is licensed trade work: a contractor licence is needed to do, advertise or contract for glazing valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials, including GST, and NSW requires the licensee's name and licence number in advertising. In Queensland, the QBCC's glass, glazing and aluminium class covers windows and doors, shower screens, security screens and balustrading, and the QBCC counts websites as advertising. The number and licensed name go in the footer of every page.
Home owners with a broken window often ask whether you'll give them an itemised quote and invoice for their insurance claim, or deal with the insurer directly. Strata managers, property managers and shop owners want an account and a quick response. A short section for each group, saying what you provide, such as photos of the damage, itemised quotes or after-hours board-up for shops, gives them their own way in.
If you're a member of the Australian Glass & Window Association, we show it and link to AGWA's Find a Member search, which visitors can search by location, type and service. List the suburbs or towns you work in, with a separate, smaller list for emergency call-outs if you don't attend breakages across the whole area.
There's no glazier among our clients yet, and we'd rather say so than stretch another trade to fit. The two sites below come from other fields but share what a glass business needs: one is set up for urgent calls from a phone, the other has a quote form that takes photos and documents.
A family-owned tree service covering Western and Greater Sydney, including 24/7 emergency work. It runs on a single page with two quote forms, tap-to-call throughout, customer reviews and a list of the areas it serves. A storm-damaged tree and a smashed window both call for a short path to the phone.

Adelaide structural engineers working on retaining walls, concrete slabs and stormwater. Alongside four service pages and 16 articles, their quote form shows fee ranges and accepts file uploads, the same set-up a glazier needs for measurements and photos of a broken pane.

Only if it's true every night of the week. If after-hours calls go to a mobile that one of you always answers, say 24/7 and stand by it. If you cover evenings and weekends but not overnight, give those hours instead, and suggest what a caller can do in the meantime, such as covering the opening or ringing their insurer's emergency line.
Yes. The form can accept several photos, and its measurement fields can sit next to a small diagram showing which width and height you mean. Photos of the frame, the broken pane and the way in (stairs, a narrow side path, a shopfront on a busy road) let you price the job and plan the visit before you load the ute.
For licensed work in NSW and Queensland, yes. NSW requires the licensee's name and licence number in advertising, and a contractor licence for glazing valued at more than $5,000 in labour and materials, including GST. The QBCC says advertising includes websites and must show your licensed name and licence number. Other states set their own rules, so check with your regulator. The NSW Government's glazing work page (opens in a new tab) lists what counts as glazing there.
A starting price for a standard screen helps, as long as the page lists what moves it: frameless or semi-frameless, glass thickness, hardware finish, walls that aren't square, and whether the old screen has to come out. When your prices change, send us the new figures; text updates on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
A one- or two-person glazier doing mostly repairs fits the one-page site at $399. If shower screens and splashbacks are a big part of the work, the 3-page site at $899 gives them a gallery page of their own. A glass company doing residential, commercial and balustrade work suits the 8-page site at $1,499.
