Website Redesign for trade businesses

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. For trade businesses, that means getting a clear page for each job type, licence and insurance details and areas covered right, because households and businesses in your area want to call or request a quote without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Households and businesses in your area want to call or request a quote.

A trade business website usually has to handle quote requests that capture the job details, areas you cover, an urgent contact path where you offer it and reviews from recent local jobs.

Quote requests that capture the job details: good details mean fewer callbacks before you can price.

Areas you cover: coverage is the first thing customers check.

An urgent contact path where you offer it: urgent jobs should go straight to a phone call.

Reviews from recent local jobs: customers choosing a tradie rely on recent, local feedback.

Frequently asked questions

What does Website Redesign involve for a trade business?

A website redesign rebuilds an existing site around what customers need now, while protecting the search visibility and enquiries the old site already earns. For a trade business, the work centres on a clear page for each job type, licence and insurance details and areas covered.

Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?

It can if old URLs are not redirected. Google's site move guidance is to map old URLs to new ones and use permanent redirects, so a redirect plan is a standard part of the redesign.[1]

Can we keep our current platform?

Yes, if it still suits you. A redesign can keep the platform or move to a new one; we recommend based on how you need to manage the site.
