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.

More quote requests for the jobs you want, and fewer “do you do outside?” calls.

What we look at for a painting business, 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 ask you for a quote

    Inside, outside, verandahs and strata as separate answers on the first screen.

  • Quote requests arrive with what you need

    The job, the suburb, photos and timing in one request.

  • People trust you before you’ve been out

    Licence number and category, insurance and Google reviews beside the phone number.

  • Fewer quotes that go nowhere

    Guide prices with what’s included, GST in the total.

  • Your own work does the selling

    Recent jobs labelled by suburb and what was done, not stock rollers.

A site that shows your own jobs, says what a repaint costs, and starts the quote in one tap.

An illustrative before. The practice is fictional.Stilt & Batten Painting 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. Tin lids for the quote

    The job, picked on the first screen.

    • Outside, inside, verandah or under the house: one tap starts the quote.
    • The Google rating sits above them.
    • The call button and the QBCC licence sit right under them.

  4. Recent jobs, by suburb

    Their own work, labelled.

    • Four recent jobs, each with its suburb.
    • Every caption says what was done to what.
    • No stock rollers, no street numbers.

  5. How a job runs

    Prep, protection, coats, clean-up.

    • Every step from the free inspection to the walk-through.
    • The owner who quotes is named and shown.
    • What happens when it rains is said up front.

  6. Prices with what’s in them

    Guide totals, GST included.

    • A room, a house inside and a house outside, each with a range.
    • Each says what it covers and what changes the price.
    • The firm price comes in a written quote.

  7. Older homes

    Lead-safe prep, said plainly.

    • Paint on pre-1970 homes is tested before anyone sands.
    • The method is described, without a scare line.
    • No certificate is claimed that isn’t held.

  8. Licensed, and checkable

    The QBCC licence, the Queensland way.

    • The licensee’s name and number with the category of work.
    • The trading name sits beside the licensed name.
    • Insurance and home warranty in plain words.

Written inside the licensing rules painters work under. Every site shows the licensed name, the licence or registration number and the category of work the way your state asks, with a link to the public register.

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

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 licensing rules painters work under.

Painting is licensed state by state: in Queensland over $3,300, in NSW over $5,000 (stand-alone interior repaints aside), in WA from $1,000. Where a licence applies, the name and number belong in your advertising, and your website counts.

  • Your licence, your state’s way

    The licensed name and number with the category of work, and in Queensland the licensed name beside your trading name.

  • Prices as totals

    Including GST, with what each covers, and the firm price in a written quote.

  • Badges only as held

    Dulux Accredited or Master Painters only when current, and never as a guarantee.

  • Safe work in the photos

    Scaffold or a platform at height, never a painter leaning off a ladder.

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 business’s own jobs, suburbs, licence and quote process, on a structure designed for painters. 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 job management software?

Quote requests go where you already work, your job management system or your inbox, with the customer’s photos attached. 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 a folder of your job 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 painting homepage, rebuilt free.
