Can you come today?
Your number sits one thumb away on every screen, and emergency call-outs are stated plainly with the hours you actually keep. No hunting through a menu with the lights off.
Websites for electricians.
When the power is out, nobody reads an about page. They want to know you cover their suburb, that you are licensed, and how fast they can ring you.
I build electrician websites around those three things, then give the jobs you want more of a page each.
What an electrician website has to answer.
Are you licensed?
Your licence number and insurer go where people look for them, on the home page and the contact page. I only publish what you have given me.
Do you do my job?
Someone searching for an EV charger install and someone with a tripping safety switch are different customers. Each job you want gets its own page, written for that customer.
Do you come to my suburb?
Your service areas are named in plain words, so the customer and Google both know where you work. On Premium, the suburbs you want work in get a page each.
Pages I would build for an electrician.
You pick the jobs. These are the usual ones, and each gets its own page written for the customer searching for it.
- Switchboard upgrades
- EV charger installation
- Safety switches and fault finding
- Lighting and power points
- Smoke alarms
- Emergency call-outs
What a Premium electrician website adds.
Basic covers the four pages every electrician needs. Premium is where the site starts doing work of its own. These are the things I would build into it foran electrician.
A booking request for planned jobs
Power points, lighting and smoke alarm checks do not need a phone call. The customer picks a day and a morning or afternoon window, and the request lands on your phone as a text for you to confirm.
An after-hours page of its own
Emergency call-outs get a separate page with your after-hours number, the suburbs you will drive to at night, and nothing else in the way. It is the page a blackout search should land on.
An EV charger page that answers first
People buying a charger have the same questions every time: will my switchboard cope, single or three phase, how long does it take. The page answers them in your words, so the ones who ring are ready to book.
Before and after switchboards
An old ceramic fuse board next to the upgrade you fitted says more than a paragraph can. Your photos go in pairs on the switchboard page, each with a line on what was done.
What an electrician website costs.
Fixed price in writing within 24 hours. Basic is live within a week of getting your photos, Premium within two. Every price is on the pricing page.
Basic
$990 build, once. $99 a month.
Four pages: home, services, about, contact. Nothing up front if you spread it over twelve months.
Premium
$2,490 build, once. $179 a month.
A page for each job you want more of and each suburb you want work in, with before and after galleries.
Questions electricians ask about a website.
I get plenty of small jobs. Can a website get me the bigger ones?
That is what the service pages are for. You tell me the jobs you want more of, such as switchboard upgrades or EV chargers, and those get their own page and the best spot on the home page. The small jobs still find you.
Do you write the technical wording?
Yes. I write it from a fifteen minute call and you check it before it goes live. I will not state a standard, a rating or a licence class unless you have given it to me.
Should I use a website builder or have one built?
A builder such as Wix costs less each month, but you write every page, size every photo and work out the Google side yourself. If your evenings already go on quotes and invoices, have it built. I write it from a short call, around the switchboard and EV charger work you want more of.
I also build websites for plumbers, concreters, painters and landscapers.
Before you decide: How much does a tradie website cost? · Do I need a website if I’m on hipages? · Website or Facebook page: what does a tradie need?
Tell me what you do. I will tell you what you need.
Sometimes that is a new site. Sometimes it is a Google listing and nothing else. Either way you get a fixed price within 24 hours. Want to see it first? Ask for a free homepage mockup.
