Just send your web address. Joseph rebuilds your homepage and walks you through every change on a 15-⁠minute call. Then you decide.

You only pay if you go ahead. See the thinking

Three steps. Only the last one costs anything.

  1. Day 0. Free

    Send your address.

    Your current website, your name, email and mobile. Then pick a time with Joseph.

  2. The next business day. Free

    See your new homepage, on a 15-⁠minute call with Joseph.

    You see what your customers would see, before you pay anything. The link stays live for 7 days.

  3. Within 7 days. From $249 a month +GST

    Decide on the full site.

    Say yes and we do the rest. Your first month is charged when you approve the design. Live within 14 days of sign-off, or that month back.

Better first meetings, and fewer “what does it cost per square metre?” calls.

What we look at for a builder, and what it changes for you.

Why it’s free

It’s the quickest way for you to judge our work, and it’s the first step of building your site anyway. If you go ahead, the rebuild becomes your homepage.

  • The right jobs find you

    Knockdown rebuilds, new homes and extensions, as separate first steps.

  • Clients judge you on homes like theirs

    Projects with the suburb, the scope, the designer and the time on site.

  • Fewer “per square metre” calls

    How a fixed price is built, including prime cost items and provisional sums.

  • People who’ve been burned trust you sooner

    Your licence number and home building cover, where they check for it.

  • Enquiries you can price

    Job type, suburb, stage, budget and plans, before the first call.

A site that wins the first meeting, for a job that runs for a year.

Scroll to watch a homepage rebuilt, then see why each piece is where it is.

An illustrative before. The practice is fictional.Bearer & Joist Building Co is a fictional practice. Open the Live Example (opens in a new tab)

  1. Before

    A site-builder page, with a pop-up on top.

    • A mailing list pop-up covers the page before anyone has read it.
    • Booking is somewhere under More.
    • The phone number and the hours are at the bottom, as plain text.

  2. The next business day

    The same business, rebuilt.

    What was worth keeping is kept. Everything else is rebuilt around it.

  3. The set-out

    The first step, in the first screen.

    • Knockdown rebuild, new home or extension: three set-out boxes start the enquiry.
    • The call button and the licence line sit right under them.
    • The Google rating is there before anyone scrolls.

  4. Homes like theirs

    Projects with the details that matter.

    • One rebuild shown from the same spot, from the old house to handover.
    • Every project has its suburb, scope, designer and time on site.
    • No street numbers, no faces without permission.

  5. Google reviews

    Real reviews, about real jobs.

    • The rating and count come from Google, with the G.
    • Each review names the suburb and the job.
    • Nothing written to sound like marketing.

  6. How the price is built

    A fixed price, explained before it’s quoted.

    • What every quote lists: inclusions, exclusions, allowances and site costs.
    • Variations are priced and signed before the work.
    • No square metre rates and no “the price never changes” promise.

  7. Every stage, named

    From the first meeting to handover.

    • Each stage on one string line, with who you deal with.
    • Progress claims follow the stages by name, never a percentage.
    • The deposit is described as capped by law.

  8. The site sign

    The licence, the way it’s on the fence.

    • The licensee’s name, licence number and category, as text.
    • Home building compensation cover stated plainly.
    • A link to check the licence on the NSW register.

Written inside the rules builders work under. Every site shows the licensee’s name and licence or registration number as text, the way your state asks, on every page.

Pricing and questions

When it goes live

  • It looks like your business. Designed from your free rebuild, never a template.
  • You never have to write a word. Joseph writes every page, and you approve it.
  • Fewer people leave before they enquire. Built for phones first, and fast to load.
  • You wake up to bookings and enquiries instead of voicemails. Your booking or enquiry system, linked.
  • Enquiries come in with what you need to reply. Contact and enquiry forms.
  • You don’t lose the enquiries you already get. Every old page redirected, so Google keeps finding you.
  • One less thing to worry about with the regulator. Written with your profession’s advertising rules in mind.

Every month after

  • If something breaks, it’s ours to fix. Hosting, security and daily backups.
  • You send a change and it’s done. Edits whenever you need them.
  • You can see what the site brings in. Counted calls and a performance dashboard.
  • People searching for you land on the right page. Page titles, descriptions and a sitemap, set up.
  • You never chase your old web person again. We deal with your old host and booking provider.
  • It doesn’t look dated in three years. A design review every year, if you want one.

Yours to keep. Your domain and content are yours from day one. The design files and a static export of your site are yours at month 12, or sooner if you pay off the rest of the build. Terms, clause 13

  2. Nothing to pay until you’ve approved your design.

  3. Your old site stays up for 30 days after. Switch back for any reason and your website fees are refunded in full.

  4. Leave any time on 14 days’ notice, and owe nothing more.

  5. Your domain, content and photos are yours from day one.

Read the Full Terms

Switching in

You forward two or three logins: your domain, your current host, and your booking or enquiry system if you use one. We move the content, connect that system, set up redirects so Google keeps sending people to the right pages, and put it live. Your part is under an hour, total.

Switching back

Your old site stays where it is for 30 days after the new one goes live. If you’d rather have it back, for any reason, tell us and we point your domain at it the same day. You’re refunded in full and the care plan stops.

The advertising rules

Written inside the rules builders work under.

Every state licenses or registers residential builders, and most want the licence number on every advertisement, websites included. In NSW that means the licensee’s name and number, with the category of work.

  • Licence on every page

    The licensee’s name, the number and the category, as text.

  • Deposits, said carefully

    Capped by law and taken after insurance, with no percentage.

  • No square metre rates

    A price is a total with its inclusions, or it isn’t shown.

  • No promises that won’t hold

    Nothing like “the price we quote is the price you pay”.

You stay responsible for what your business advertises, and we make it easier to get right.

All Questions, Answered

The free rebuild

Why is it free?

It’s the fastest way for you to judge our work without committing to anything, and it’s step one of your site if you go ahead. The rebuild becomes your homepage.

Is it just a template?

No. It’s built from your own projects, team, service area and licence details, on a structure designed for residential builders. Joseph reviews every decision before it reaches you, and walks you through each one on the call.

Do I have to talk to anyone?

Yes, briefly. Joseph walks you through your new homepage on a 15-⁠minute video call, and you tell him what you’d change.

What happens to the rebuild if I say no?

Nothing. Keep the ideas and use them however you like. The preview link closes after 7 days, and we don’t publish it or show it to anyone without your permission.

We already have a web developer. Does that matter?

Not for the rebuild. You can use it to see what’s possible before deciding who builds it. If you go ahead with us, we handle the move and your developer doesn’t need to be involved.

Going ahead

Will it work with our estimating or job software?

Enquiries go where you already work, whether that’s your estimating or CRM tool or your inbox, with the job type, suburb, stage and plans attached. Current clients get a link to your client portal. We confirm how yours connects before you approve your design.

How much work is this for me?

Send your address, see it on a 15-⁠minute call, say yes or no. If yes, forward the logins we ask for and your best project photos. We do the rest, including talking to your current host if something needs untangling.

What happens to my current site?

Nothing, for 30 days. It stays live on its existing host so it’s there if you want it back. After that you can cancel the old hosting, or we’ll do it with you.

Will I lose my Google rankings?

We map every page on your old site to the right page on the new one before we switch, so links and search results keep landing somewhere sensible. Rankings move for all sorts of reasons, but a redirect map is what stops a move from being one of them.

What if I don’t like it once it’s live?

Say so within 30 days. We point your domain back at your old site, refund your website fees in full, and stop the care plan. No form, no reason required.

What’s the catch with the 12 months?

The first year pays off the build in monthly instalments, so there’s no large upfront cost. After 12 months the price drops to the care rate. You can leave at any time and owe nothing more. To take the site itself, pay what’s left of the build and we hand over your design files.

Who owns the site?

Your domain, content and photos are yours from the start. The site runs on our platform, which is how it stays fast, secure and looked after. Once the build is paid off, at month 12, up front or when you leave, we’ll export everything whenever you ask.

Your builder homepage, rebuilt free.
