What you actually get in a tradie website (real example, no fluff)

A done-for-you tradie website is a custom-built, mobile-first site of three to five pages: a hero with your trade and service area, a services page, real job photos, reviews, your licence details, and a tap-to-call number. It is hosted, secured, has on-page SEO, and a template-based build goes live within about 7 working days. Below are real ones you can open right now.

The proof, first-party: these are Clearway demo builds, not stock images. The mobile mechanic demo is live at /mobile-mechanic, open it on your phone. The electrician and plumber demos are live too, with links below.

What you actually get

The honest version: this is not a bespoke-from-scratch build. It is a proven template rebuilt around your business, your photos, your services, and your suburb. That is why it ships in a week instead of a quarter, and why it is quoted lower than a blank-page project. What is inside:

  • Hero with trade plus service area: tells a stranger in two seconds you do their job, near them.
  • Tap-to-call and quote button: turns a phone visitor into a phone call with one tap.
  • Services page: lists what you do, so you stop fielding "do you also do X" calls.
  • Real job photos: proof you have done this before, which does the trust work.
  • Reviews and licence number: the credibility a Facebook page cannot show cleanly.
  • On-page SEO and mobile-first: built so people searching your trade can find you.
  • Hosting, SSL, domain wiring: live on a fast modern edge network, secured, handled for you.

Three to five pages in a typical trade build. Hosting, SSL, domain wiring, and ongoing edits come on an optional care plan from $150/month. You email "add a new service page" and it gets done.

The same build, tuned per trade

Clearway has live per-trade demos, so you are not guessing what yours would look like. A few you can open now:

  • Mobile mechanic, at /mobile-mechanic: service-area led, big call button, "we come to you" front and centre.
  • Electrician, at /electrician-sole-trader: licence and emergency call-out up top.
  • Plumber, at /plumber-sole-trader: same shape, plumbing-first.
  • Barber, at /barber: premium bookings-led build with a gallery of cuts.

Will a cheap website be bad for SEO?

This is the question that stops most people, so here is the straight answer. Every build includes on-page SEO and runs on a fast modern edge network, the same delivery you would expect from a much pricier site. A template-based price is not the same as a low-quality build. It is efficient because it starts from a proven template instead of a blank page, not because the work is cut.

You do not have to take that on trust. Open the mobile mechanic, electrician, and plumber demos on your phone and judge the build yourself: how fast they load, how they read, how the call button behaves. That is the real output, not a sales mockup.

Do I own the website?

Worth being straight about, because people ask.

You own the code on delivery. The build is a one-off, and the site is yours to keep and host wherever you like. There is no lock-in: an optional care plan covers hosting and edits if you want it, but you can cancel it any time and take the site with you.

So the code is in your own hands from day one either way. The optional care plan from $150/month just means someone maintains it for you, hosting, edits, updates and support, instead of you doing it yourself. Pick the one that matches how you want to run it.

What the build does not include

Worth being straight about it too. A build does not include copywriting from scratch (your words get polished, but ghostwriting is a separate quote) or professional photography. Premium industry-specific templates such as barber and mobile mechanic add online bookings, content updates, and an analytics dashboard, and are quoted accordingly.
