Design Approach
The blueprint prioritises trust and conversion:
- Colours: Dark blue or green primary, white background, orange or yellow CTAs
- Typography: Strong sans-serif, large headings, phone numbers in bold
- Mood: Reliable, professional, local — a trusted tradie, not a faceless corporation
- Layout: Phone number visible everywhere, trust badges above the fold, sticky quote CTA on mobile
Tips for Best Results
Phone number is your most important element. Most trades customers want to call, especially in emergencies. Make the phone number huge, clickable, and visible on every screen.
Trust signals beat fancy design. Licence number, insurance, years of experience, and guarantees — these badges above the fold convert more visitors than a beautiful hero image.
Google Reviews are gold. If you have a good Google Reviews rating, display it prominently. "4.9 stars from 87 reviews" is more persuasive than any design element.
Service areas help with search. Listing the suburbs you service helps Google show your site when people search "plumber in Chermside" or "electrician Kedron".
Emergency services get priority. If you offer 24/7 emergency work, make it the first thing visitors see. Emergency searches are high-intent — they convert immediately.
