Questions We Always Get Asked
All websites have an ongoing cost, what's great about how we operate is we keep our monthly ongoing cost for hosting and maintenance extremely competetive... So much so that it is cheaper than most do-it-yourself websites.
Joe (our owner & developer) has extensive experience in website design in every capacity, from large matchmaking platforms and complex algorithms to eCommerce and custom CRM's... and the rest. So we can confidently say that whatever you want, he can deliver.
Most of our clients become our friends... and we don't like asking our friends for money whenever they need anything, so we will always endeavour to include as much as possible in your hosting and maintenance cost... Including your content and images updates within reason. The only time we'll ask for additional is when you ask for something non-standard.
Yes, when you buy a website from us, it is yours forever, and you can take your website wherever you like. That being said, our clients almost never leave us, we've made our monthly ongoing cost so low that there is almost no reason to go anywhere else.
We make sure all your on-site SEO is done, and most of our websites will score 95+/100 on Google Pagespeed Insights. What this means is that Google can read and index your website. Ongoing SEO requires activity on 100's of off-site factors, such as links back to your site and your social media presence. We ourselves don't do this... But we have people we work with regularly that can help if this is your goal. There is no quick way to the top of Google, but what we do is lay solid foundations to be built on. Our websites focus on converting the people that see your website into enquiries.
Tradesite was born out of hearing first-hand how people don't trust web designers. All of our friends are tradespeople, and a lot of our previous experience working for businesses that target trades specifically has enabled us to identify what you guys need... and what works.
On top of your website, we can handle your print and branding, from logo to business cards, mesh banners and site boards. We also work in partnership with Trademark Digital who handle everything marketing, including social media management and content, paid ads and Google listing management.

Generally speaking no, and anyone that promises this is outright lying... What we can promise is that when people see your website... they are more likely to turn into an enquiry than most other options out there.
Having a website is just the start, from here you need to get it seen. Add it to your social profiles, make sure your website is on your Google listing, add it to your van, get some business cards. The more places you put it, the more likely people are to visit it.
A lot of web designers and agencies take advantage of the fact a lot of people do not have the know-how. We were born out of helping out friends in the trades and we've continued that into a business built on that same principle... We're genuinly out to help, and we do a good job of it.
