A no-nonsense breakdown of what builders, plumbers, sparkies, and landscapers should actually expect to pay for a website that brings in real paying jobs.
The 3 Ways Tradies Buy Websites (And What They Cost)
If you have tried getting quotes from traditional digital agencies, you already know the frustration: long sales calls, vague estimates, and quotes ranging anywhere from $2,500 to $10,000, usually bundled with monthly retainers of $300 to $800 that you can never cancel.
Option 1: The DIY Route (Wix, Squarespace, Rocketspark)
Cost: $25 - $60 / month + 30-50 hours of your own time.
The catch: Most tradies start with high hopes, spend weekends wrestling with design blocks, and end up with a site that is invisible on Google and doesn't convert mobile visitors.
Option 2: Traditional Digital Agencies
Cost: $3,000 - $8,000 upfront + $300 - $800 / month retainers.
The catch: Agencies have massive overhead (account managers, city offices). They take 8 to 12 weeks to deliver, and they often keep your website files hostage if you try to leave.
Option 3: TradiDigital (Specialized Trade Web Developer)
Cost: $600 - $1,499 AUD ($749 - $1,849 NZD) fixed one-off.
