These are the problems they all had before working with us. ### Invisible in Local Search Homeowners search "plumber near me" or "electrician in \[city\]". Your competitors show up. You don't. ### No Easy Way to Get Quotes Customers want instant quotes online. Having to call puts them off. ### No Portfolio of Work You do great work but have nothing to show for it online. Word of mouth only goes so far. ### Website Looks DIY Your website looks like it was made in 2010. Customers judge your professionalism by your site. ## What Your Home Services Website Needs Here's what we build for every home service business website to attract customers and drive growth. ### Local SEO Dominance Rank for "\[service\] near me" and "\[service\] \[city\]" searches that bring in jobs. ### Instant Quote System Online quote request forms with job type selection and photo upload capability. ### Project Showcase Before/after galleries organised by service type to show your quality work. ### Professional Brand Modern, trustworthy design with licenses, insurance, and reviews prominently displayed. 7+ Years in Business 200+ Projects since 2018 60+ Five-Star Google Reviews $1M+ Revenue Generated for Clients ## What's Included in Your Website Every web design project includes these core features to ensure your website performs. ### Custom Design No templates, no compromises. Every design starts from a blank page and is built around your brand, your audience, and what you need the site to do. ### Conversion-Focused Every page has a job. Layout, copy and calls to action all point visitors towards the next step, whether that's a purchase, an enquiry, or a booking. ### Lightning Fast Slow sites lose people. We build for performance from day one, because speed affects your conversions and your Google rankings. ### SEO-Ready Built to be found. Clean code, sound structure, and on-page SEO handled during the build, not bolted on after launch. ### Mobile-First We design for the phone screen first, then scale up to desktop. Google indexes the mobile version of your site first, so that's where the build starts. ### Easy to Manage A CMS you can actually use. Update content, swap images, and publish pages yourself, without calling a developer. ## Our Web Design Process A proven process that delivers websites on time and on budget. 01 ### Discovery We start with your business, your goals, and the customers you want more of. Good design decisions come from understanding who you're selling to, not from guesswork. 02 ### Strategy & Wireframes We map the user journey and wireframe every page with a clear purpose. Before anything looks good, it has to make sense. 03 ### Design Custom visual design that fits your brand and your customers. You see full mockups and sign off before a single line of code is written. 04 ### Development Clean, modern code built for speed. We develop on WordPress, Shopify, or frameworks like Astro, depending on what suits your business. 05 ### Review & QA Before anything goes live, we test across devices and browsers, check page speed and Core Web Vitals, and walk every page through with you. Nothing launches until it's fast, accessible, and right. 06 ### Launch & Support A clean launch and a proper handover, then we stick around. Support, updates, and fixes are part of the job, not an afterthought. ## What our clients say Real reviews from the businesses we have built, ranked and run campaigns for. 5.0 from 70+ reviews > “Our CPA dropped by 66% and lead quality increased 200-300%.

Here are some common questions about working with us. [Ask a Question](https://www.lucidmedia.co.nz/contact/) **Why choose a web design agency that specialises in 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. **What features should every home service business website have?** 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. **Can you integrate booking or scheduling systems?** 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. **How long does a website design project take?** 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. **What's included in your web design service?** 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. **Do you work with WordPress?** 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. **What if I need changes after the website launches?** 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. **How much does web design cost?** 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. **Will my website be mobile-friendly?** 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. **Do you provide website hosting?** 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. **Can you help with content and copywriting?** 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. ## Ready to get more jobs from local searches? get your free strategy session.
