Web Design for Home Services

We understand the unique needs of plumbing, electrical, and home service contractors. We know what your customers expect, what features you need, and how to position your services effectively online. Generic web designers create generic websites. We build sites specifically for home-services that convert.

Essential features include mobile-responsive design, fast loading speed, clear service descriptions, contact forms, Google Maps integration, and SEO optimisation. Depending on your business, you may also need booking systems, client portals, or e-commerce functionality.

Yes! We integrate with popular scheduling platforms or can build custom booking systems specific to your home service business needs. Online booking increases conversions and reduces admin work.

Most website design projects take 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. A simple brochure site can be ready in 4 to 6 weeks, while a larger e-commerce build can run 12 to 16 weeks. The biggest variable is usually content: projects with copy and images ready move noticeably faster than ones where everything is still being written. We confirm a realistic timeline at the start, so you know exactly what to expect and when.

Every web design project includes discovery and strategy, competitor research, wireframes, custom design mockups with revisions, responsive development, content integration, on-page SEO setup, speed optimisation, and 30 days of post-launch support. You also get a proper handover, so you can manage your own content without calling us for every small change. In short, everything required to launch a website that works, not just one that looks good.

Yes, we build custom WordPress sites regularly. W3Techs data puts WordPress at around 42% of all websites, and it remains a solid choice for most New Zealand businesses. We also build on Shopify for e-commerce and on modern frameworks like Astro when performance is the priority. We'll recommend the platform that fits your business and your budget, not the one that's easiest for us to build on.

Every project includes a 30-day warranty period for bug fixes and minor adjustments after launch. Beyond that, our Sitecare plans cover updates, security monitoring, backups, and priority support, priced to match your site's complexity. Plenty of clients handle small content changes themselves through the CMS and lean on us for the rest. Either way, we don't disappear once the site is live.

Website design cost depends on scope, which is why we quote every project individually rather than publishing a rate card. The main cost drivers are page count, functionality such as e-commerce or booking systems, and how much content needs creating. After a free discovery call we scope the work and give you a clear quote, so the investment matches the actual project rather than a generic package.

Yes. Every site we build is designed mobile-first, starting with the phone screen and scaling up to desktop. Google indexes the mobile version of your site first, so a design that only works well on desktop hurts your rankings as well as your visitors. We test on real devices before launch to make sure everything reads, taps, and loads properly on every screen size.

Yes, we offer managed hosting through our Sitecare plans, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA. That covers fast servers, daily backups, SSL certificates, security monitoring, and performance optimisation. If you'd rather use your own provider, that's fine too; we'll build the site to run wherever you host it. Most clients stay on Sitecare because one team handles both the site and the server, which makes problems faster to fix.

Yes, copywriting is available as an add-on to any web design project. A well-designed page with weak copy still won't convert, so we write conversion-focused content built around what your customers are actually searching for and the action you want them to take. If you'd rather write your own, we'll give you a clear page structure to write into.
