SCHMICK AS

As good as it gets. What you say about a good ute, a clean weld, a job done properly. We build websites for trades and small businesses that make people say it about yours.

WHY IT MATTERS

Right now, someone nearby is searching for exactly what you do. They will call whoever looks like they'll answer.

When a hot water system dies at 9pm, nobody opens a directory. They search, they scan three results, and they call the business that looks organised. Not the best tradie. The best-looking one. That decision takes about eight seconds, and it happens before you ever hear the phone ring.

  • 08 SECRoughly how long a visitor gives your site before choosing you or backing out to call the next result.
  • 1 JOBOne decent job usually covers the entire build. Everything after that is return on a website that works while you're on the tools.
  • 24 / 7Your site quotes, reassures and captures the lead at 9pm on a Sunday. You see it in the morning.

The best tradie in town loses work to an average one with the better website. Every week.

THE WORK

Real trades. Real sites. Real ads.

These two are our own demo builds, not paying clients yet. The ads are dramatised, with actors. The websites, the flat price and the seven-day turnaround are real.

HOW IT WORKS

Live in seven days. You own everything.

DAY 1

The call

Twenty minutes. Your trade, your area, your best jobs, your licence details. We do the rest.

DAYS 2–4

The build

Design, copywriting, photos arranged, quote form wired to your inbox, Google Business linked.

DAY 5

Your review

You get a private link. Mark anything you want changed, straight from your phone.

DAY 7

Live

Your domain, your site, taking calls. We handle hosting, updates and edits from here.

YOUR DOMAIN

Registered in your name, not ours. Leave any time and it goes with you.

YOUR CONTENT

Every photo, every word. Want an edit? Text us and it's done, usually same day.

NO LOCK-IN

Month to month care plan. Cancel whenever. We keep clients by being good, not by contract.

FLAT PRICING

Pick one. No quotes-for-a-quote.

BUILD THE EMPIRE

All prices AUD. Build fee is once-off; the care plan covers hosting, security, backups and content edits, month to month. Your domain and content are yours from day one. If we can't make you happy by the day-5 review, you pay nothing and keep the drafts.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Seven days, really?

Really. Trade and local-service sites share a proven structure: problem, trust, services, reviews, quote form. We've built that engine already, so your seven days go into your business: your photos, your words, your suburbs. Not reinventing layouts.

I already have a website. Can you fix it?

We rebuild rather than patch. It's faster and the result is better. Your existing domain, content and Google reviews all carry over; the old site stays live until the new one replaces it.

What's in the monthly care plan?

Hosting, SSL security, backups, software updates and content edits (new photos, price changes, a new service area). Text or email the change; most edits are done same day.

What if I want to leave?

You cancel the care plan and take your domain and content with you. No exit fee, no hostage-taking. We'd rather earn the next month than lock you into it.

Do you do Google Ads or SEO campaigns?

The Schmick and Empire plans include proper local SEO foundations and ad-ready landing pages. We don't run ad campaigns ourselves yet; when you're ready for ads we'll set you up so any ads you run land on pages built to convert.

I'm not a tradie. Can you still build mine?

Yes. The method works for any local service business: physio, accountant, cafe, cleaner, dog groomer. If your customers find you by searching, we can make you the one they call.

Get the site that wins the job.

Tell us your trade and your area. We'll come back within one business day with exactly what we'd build and when it can be live. No obligation, no sales call unless you want one.

One business day, tops. Your details go to us and nowhere else.
