Sites for Brisbane plumbers, sparkies, roofers, builders and other trades that show your licence the way Queensland asks, list the suburbs you cover on each side of the river, and change with the storm season.
Before a Brisbane customer rings, they want three answers: are you licensed for this job, do you come to my suburb, and how soon can you get here. The city's size, the river that splits it and the summer storms all change how a trade site should give those answers.
Queensland expects your licensed name and licence number on your advertising, and that includes your website. We put the details in the footer of every page, with your trading name beside the name on your QBCC or electrical contractor licence, so a customer can look you up before they call.
Locals describe where they live as northside, southside, the western suburbs or the bayside. We list your suburbs under those headings so a customer in Carindale or Chermside can find their own patch in a few seconds, instead of reading one long run of names.
Council's advice is to get your home ready outside storm season, and its checklist includes the roof, gutters and downpipes and trimming trees. A short section offering those jobs in the cooler months gives people a reason to book you before the first storm rather than after it, and can help in the quieter weeks.
From October to March, a home page that leads with storm repairs, leaks, fallen branches or power faults speaks to the people searching right after one. When the season ends we change the wording back. Text changes like this are part of hosting.
Brisbane has whole streets of houses built before 1947. If you restump, raise, rewire, re-roof or repaint them, a gallery of that work tells owners you know how these homes are put together. Tree services can add a line that they check council's protected-tree rules before cutting.
Plenty of Brisbane trades also work in Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay or the Redlands, and those are separate council areas with their own suburb names. If you travel there, we name those places on the site rather than relying on the word Brisbane to cover them.
Most building trades in Queensland, including plumbing and drainage, are licensed by the QBCC. Its advertising rules cover websites and social media pages: an ad has to show the name you're licensed under, say that you hold a QBCC licence and give the licence number, set out clearly enough to read easily. A trading name on its own will most likely not comply, and the QBCC logo can't be used on your own material. Electrical contractors are licensed separately, and section 188 of the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026 says their ads must state the licensed name or registered business name, that they're licensed, and the electrical contractor licence number.
Brisbane City Council is Australia's largest local government by population, split into 26 wards, but customers don't search by ward. Brisbane has no formal regions either; people group suburbs informally by the river, as northside and southside, plus the western suburbs and the bayside. A service-area section written that way reads naturally to a local. Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and Redland are separate councils, so if your van goes there, those names belong on the site too.
Council says Brisbane's storm season typically runs from October to March, and that the best time to prepare a home is outside it: checking the roof, gutters and downpipes, and keeping trees and branches trimmed. For roofers, plumbers, electricians, glaziers and tree services that means two different messages a year: book a check now in the cooler months, and call us for repairs in summer. A site that can switch between them is useful in both halves of the year. Tree services should know that council's Natural Assets Local Law 2003 protects some trees, and that working on protected vegetation needs council's permission unless an exemption applies.
Brisbane City Plan has a traditional building character overlay for streets with houses built in or before 1946, and separate protections for houses built before 1911. Changes to these homes can need council approval. If you work on them, show photos and describe the work you do, but leave approvals off the site unless you actually handle them.
We're an Adelaide team, and we work with Brisbane tradies by phone and email. You send your licence number, the suburbs you cover, the words for each section and a set of job photos; we build the draft after a short call. Nobody needs to visit a site or meet in person, and you pay only once you're happy with the draft.
We don't have a Brisbane trade client to show yet. The closest is M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland, and Bright Building in Adelaide shows how a larger trade site handles a spread of service areas.
Licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter. A single page with six services, a 13-photo project gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials and a protected contact form: a common starting size for a sole trader.

Renovation builder across Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and the Fleurieu. Thirty pages, including seven service-area pages, seven service pages and five planning guides, a structure a Brisbane builder could use for northside, southside and bayside pages.

Our suggestion for most Brisbane trades
$899
A home page, a services page and a page for storm repairs or older-home work, so the seasonal message has a place of its own.
$1,499
For trades with crews on both sides of the river: service pages, area pages for northside, southside, western and bayside, and a gallery.
Yes. We're an Adelaide (South Australia) web design team at Hutt St, and we work with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email. Current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. A Brisbane trade site doesn't need a visit: your photos, licence number, suburb list and a phone call are enough to build the draft.
For a QBCC licence: the name you're licensed under, a statement that you're licensed, and the licence number. For an electrical contractor licence: the licensed name or registered business name, that you're licensed, and the contractor licence number. If you hold both, show both. We set them out in the footer of every page; the obligation sits with the licence holder, so check anything unusual with the QBCC or the Electrical Safety Office.
Yes. Hosting is $30 a month and covers unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages, so swapping the home page to a storm-repairs message in October and back in autumn costs nothing extra. A brand-new page for storm work is quoted first.
If you work there, yes, by name. They're separate council areas, and customers usually search with their own suburb or city. On a 3-page site they can go in a service-area section; on an 8-page site each can have its own page. See our page for tradies in Logan.
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. If you want it up before the storms, send your material through in winter so there's time for changes.
Send us your licence number, the suburbs you cover on each side of the river and a handful of job photos. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay once you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
