Websites for builders, plumbers, sparkies and other trades working between Redcliffe, North Lakes, Strathpine, Caboolture and Bribie Island. A customer can see your licence, the suburbs you cover and your recent jobs, then ring you with one tap.
Moreton Bay is a big patch: close to 500,000 people across 94 suburbs, from the Redcliffe Peninsula out to Mount Mee. People here search by their own suburb and want to know within seconds whether you'll come to them, and most will be holding a phone when they find you.
Someone in Deception Bay can't tell whether "Brisbane North" includes them. We list the suburbs you actually cover under short headings: the Redcliffe Peninsula, the Pine Rivers suburbs, Caboolture and Morayfield, Bribie Island, and the rural west around Dayboro and Woodford.
When the storm calls start in October, you might want a line at the top of the site saying you're taking urgent jobs today, or that you're booked out for a fortnight. Text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting, so you can ask us to swap that line as often as you need.
Queensland's licensing bodies count a website as advertising. The name your licence is held under and its number go in the footer of every page, so the details are there whichever page a customer lands on.
Your number as a button at the top of every page, plus a quote form asking for name, phone, suburb and a line about the job, with an optional photo. A homeowner with water coming through the ceiling won't fill in more than that.
If you do new-home work such as fencing, driveways, landscaping or air-conditioning as well as repairs and renovations, each gets its own section. The new owner in a fresh estate and the family fixing up a 1980s house each find their kind of job without wading through the other.
"Bathroom regrout, Kallangur" or "Switchboard upgrade, Scarborough" under a photo shows a customer you already work near them. It also gives the page genuine local wording, without a block of suburb names stuffed into the footer.
In Queensland, the QBCC licenses building, plumbing and drainage work, and it lists websites, Facebook pages, online directories and vehicle signage as advertising. A licensee's ads must show the name the licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act; a trading name on its own is unlikely to comply. Plumbing and drainage need a licence whatever the job is worth. Electrical contractors are licensed separately through the Electrical Safety Office, and WorkSafe Queensland's guidance puts their registered name and contractor licence number on websites and social media too. We won't put the QBCC logo on your site, because the QBCC doesn't allow it on a licensee's own material, but a link to the licence search on the QBCC website is allowed.
The City of Moreton Bay was formed in March 2008 from Redcliffe City and the Pine Rivers and Caboolture shires, and took its current name in July 2023. Those three former areas are still a handy way to group a service area: the peninsula suburbs (Redcliffe, Scarborough, Margate, Kippa-Ring, Woody Point), the Pine Rivers suburbs (Strathpine, Albany Creek, North Lakes, Kallangur, Petrie) and the Caboolture side (Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, Narangba, Deception Bay and Bribie Island). Further west are rural areas such as Dayboro, Samford Valley, Woodford and Mount Mee.
The council area covers more than 2,045 square kilometres, so "all of Moreton Bay" is a big promise for a one-ute business. If you only go as far as Burpengary, say so. If you also work across the boundary in Brisbane's northern suburbs or up into the Sunshine Coast, list those suburbs as well, because customers search by where they live, not by council.
Queensland's severe weather season runs from October to April, and the Bureau of Meteorology says the east coast's highest risk of severe thunderstorms is from October to December. For roofers, tree services, electricians and glaziers, that can mean a sudden run of urgent calls, so your number and a short "what's happened?" form need to be the first things on a phone screen. Growth matters too: the council expects about 200,000 more residents over the next 20 years, and the Waraba Priority Development Area (formerly Caboolture West), declared in August 2024, is planned for about 30,000 homes. People moving into new suburbs often don't have a local tradie yet, so they search.
We're an Adelaide team at Hutt St, and we work with Queensland trades by phone and email. You send your services, suburbs and photos, we send a draft link you can check on your phone between jobs, and you ask for changes the same way.
Our Queensland trade client is M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas, a plumber and gas fitter working on the Sunshine Coast, just north of Moreton Bay. We've also included Western Sydney Stump Grinding, because its site is set up for urgent storm-damage calls, the kind of work plenty of Moreton Bay trades take on from October.
A licensed Queensland plumber and gas fitter. We built a single page covering six services, a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, client testimonials, a contact form protected from spam and tap-to-call.

Yes. We're an Adelaide (South Australia) web design team working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, including M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas in Queensland. You send your services, suburbs and photos, we build a draft you can open on your phone, and you pay only once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.
With a QBCC licence, your site needs the name the licence is held under, the licence number and a statement that you're licensed under the QBCC Act; a trading name alone isn't enough. Electrical contractors should show their registered name and electrical contractor licence number, because WorkSafe Queensland's guidance includes websites. If you hold both kinds of licence, show both. The QBCC logo can't be used, but a link to the licence search on the QBCC website can.
We'd suggest listing the suburbs you're happy to drive to for an ordinary job, grouped by area, and saying separately if you'll travel further for bigger work. A customer in Woorim who rings a tradie who won't cross the bridge to Bribie wastes everyone's time. The list can change after launch as often as you like, because text changes on existing pages are covered by the $30 monthly hosting.
Yes. Send us the new wording and we'll update the notice on your existing page, whether it's "taking urgent storm jobs today" or "booked until mid-December". That's part of the $30 monthly hosting, with no extra charge. A new page, such as a dedicated storm-damage page, is quoted first.
Usually not. If you cross into Brisbane suburbs such as Bracken Ridge or Aspley, add them to your suburb list. A separate page makes sense on a 3-page or 8-page site when that work is different, for example commercial jobs in Brisbane and residential work at home in Moreton Bay.
Send us your trade, your licence details and the suburbs you cover, plus a few job photos if you have them. You'll get a quote first, and we build the draft before you pay anything.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
