Websites

Simple websites for tradies and local business

A website that looks professional, works on a phone, brings in calls and doesn't need you to learn anything. We build it, host it and look after it. You get on with your work.

A row of websites built by Bright1

Built for you

We take your logo, photos, services and contact details and build the site. If writing isn't your thing, we'll draft the words and you approve them.

Nothing to break

There's no software behind the site to update, no plugins, no logins to lose. That's why it doesn't get hacked and doesn't slow down over time.

🔓

No lock-in

Unlike Wix, Squarespace or GoDaddy builders, you're not renting. The site is plain files you own. We hand you a copy, and you can take it anywhere.

Looked after

Hosted on Bright1 with a daily backup and a padlock. Want a photo swapped or a price changed? Send us a message. Small changes are usually done the same day.

What's included

Everything a business site needs, nothing it doesn't

  • Home, services, about, gallery and contact pages (more if you need them)
  • Your logo and colours, or a clean look we design for you
  • Click-to-call and email buttons that work on a phone
  • A contact form that lands in your inbox
  • Google Maps, opening hours and the areas you service
  • Your Google Business listing set up or tidied so you show up in local search
  • The technical basics Google looks for, done properly
  • Padlock (SSL), Australian hosting and daily backups

What does it cost?

It depends on how many pages you need and what you already have. Most tradie and small business sites are a one-off fee for the build, plus a modest yearly amount for hosting and your domain name.

How it works

From first chat to live site in about two weeks

Tell us about your business

A short call or email: what you do, who your customers are, and any sites you like the look of.

Send your bits

Logo, photos, services and contact details. If you don't have much, that's fine — we'll work with what you've got.

Have a look

You get a private link to check the site on your phone and computer, and we adjust it until you're happy.

Go live

We connect your domain, switch on the padlock, tell Google about it and give you a copy of everything. It's yours.

Already have a site?

Hacked, slow or just stopped working?

A lot of older do-it-yourself sites eventually get broken into, fill up with spam, or slow to a crawl because nobody's been updating the software behind them. We can recover what's worth keeping, rebuild the site properly so it looks the same or better, keep your Google rankings, and move it onto Bright1 hosting.

Online shops

We don't build full online shops with shopping carts and payments any more. Specialist platforms such as Shopify do that far better for a monthly fee, and we'd rather you had the right tool. We can set up your domain and email to work with it, and build a simple front page that links across.

Questions

Things people ask

I don't know anything about websites or hosting. Is that a problem?

No. Most of our customers don't, and they don't need to. You tell us about your business; we handle the domain, the hosting, the email and the site, and explain anything you want to know in plain English.

Can I change things on the site myself?

You can, since it's plain files you own, but most people just send us a message. A new photo, a price change, a new team member — usually done the same day.

Why not just use Wix or a website builder?

They're fine until you want to leave. You're renting the site month to month, it's slow, and you can't take it with you. Ours is built once, owned by you, and costs nothing extra to keep running beyond normal hosting.

Will people find me on Google?

We set up the things Google looks for: proper page titles, fast loading, a phone-friendly layout and your Google Business listing. For most local trades, that's what gets you found for "plumber" plus your suburb. Competing for bigger search terms is a separate, ongoing job we can talk about.

I already have a domain name and email. Can I keep them?

Yes. We work with a domain registered anywhere and make sure your existing email keeps working when the site moves.

What if something goes wrong?

Send a message through the contact page. You'll get the person who looks after your site, and it'll be handled with care. There's also a daily backup, so nothing is ever lost.
