Website Design
for Carpenters.
A deck, a pergola, an extension. These are jobs people think about for months and compare three quotes on. We build sites that show the work properly and make you the one they trust with it.

What a carpenter’s website actually has to do
Nobody commits twenty grand off a paragraph. Here is what we build in, because it is what gets you shortlisted and then chosen.
Show the finished work, large
Decks, pergolas, extensions, fit-outs. Proper galleries with the finished job in good light, and before and afters where you have them. Your photos are doing the selling long before anyone rings.
A page for every kind of job
Decking, pergolas and outdoor living, extensions, full renovations, kitchens and bathrooms, framing, commercial fit-outs. Each gets its own page, because someone pricing a deck is not the same customer as someone planning an extension.
Answer the licence question up front
Your builder registration, licence number, insurance and any warranty you offer, stated plainly. Structural work is where people get nervous, and being obviously legitimate is half the reason you get the call.
Set out how the job actually runs
The fear is a tradesperson who starts, disappears and leaves it half done. Spelling out the steps from quote to handover, and who they will be dealing with, removes the biggest reason people hesitate on a big build.
Capture the quote with the detail you need
The enquiry form asks the job type, the rough size, the timing and the suburb before it asks for a paragraph. You can judge whether it is worth a site visit without three rounds of messages first.
Be clear about where you build
Travel time eats a carpenter alive, and people will not enquire if they are unsure you come to them. We spell out the towns you work in, which sorts the customer out and helps you rank in local results.
How we build your site
Six stages from first conversation to a site that keeps bringing in work. Click through and see exactly what happens at each one.
Discovery
A free, no-obligation chat about what you actually need the website to do.
We go through your goals, the jobs you want more of and the ones you would rather stop getting. We look at who you are up against locally and what your customers want to know before they pick up the phone.
You come out of that conversation with a clear scope and a fixed monthly number. No discovery fee, no vague quote that quietly grows later.
- Your goals and best jobs mapped out
- A proper look at your local competition
- Clear scope and a fixed price up front
Research and planning
We work out what the site needs to say, and in what order, before anyone designs a thing.
We plan out the pages you need, the question each one has to answer, and the path from someone landing on your site to picking up the phone. Get that right and the design has an easy job.
This is also where the groundwork for showing up on Google goes in, so the site launches ready to be found instead of needing a rescue six months later.
- Every page planned around a real search
- A clear path from visitor to enquiry
- Groundwork for Google done early
Design and development
We design and build your homepage first, so you see the real thing rather than a picture of it.
You get a working homepage on a private link, not a flat mockup. Click through it, scroll it, open it on your phone, show it to whoever you trust for an honest opinion. It is far easier to give useful feedback on something real.
Once you are happy with the look and the feel, we build out the rest of the site to match it.
- Your homepage built first, not mocked up
- Review it live on any device
- The rest follows once you approve it
Optimisation and testing
We make it quick, check it everywhere, and change anything that is not right.
Most of your customers will meet you on a phone, often on patchy regional reception, so we cut the load time down until the site opens straight away. Then every page gets checked across phones, tablets and desktop.
This is also your round of changes. Reword a section, swap a photo, add the service you forgot about. Nothing goes live until you have signed off on it.
- Opens fast, even on poor reception
- Checked on every screen size
- Your changes made before anyone sees it
Launch
We handle the technical side so nothing breaks on the day.
Domain, hosting, security and the switch itself are all sorted for you. If you already have a website, we make sure every old page points to its new home, so the traffic and the Google rankings you have built up come across with you.
That last part is where most rebuilds quietly go wrong, and it is the difference between launching ahead and starting again from scratch.
- Domain, hosting and security sorted for you
- Your existing Google rankings carried across
- Live without downtime
Support and growth
A website without traffic is a car without fuel.
Hosting, updates, backups and monitoring are covered every month, so the site stays quick and secure without you thinking about it. Need something changed? Send an email and it gets done.
From there we push on your local search, your Google profile and your reviews, so the site keeps climbing and keeps bringing in work.
- Hosting, updates and backups handled
- Changes made when you need them
- Local SEO and reviews to keep it growing
Rated 5.0 by the businesses we build for
We approached Hike to discuss a functional website that could handle our club's online membership subscriptions, apparel sales, and event registrations. Since deploying, membership management and marketing have never been easier. We're now able to reach specific member types and sponsors at any time with the click of a button through MailChimp, and track the club's membership growth each year with real data. We'd highly recommend Hike for eCommerce website design and are very happy with the end result.

We recently worked with Lachie from We Are Hike to completely redesign the Wisteria & Oak website, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. From the outset, Lachie gave us excellent advice not only around the design and functionality of the website, but also around SEO and how we could expand our reach beyond our immediate local area. And it’s already working! Since launching the new website, we’ve received an enquiry from a nearby growth area target, exactly the type of expanded geographical reach we were hoping to achieve. Lachie was knowledgeable, easy to work with, responsive and genuinely invested in making sure the website worked for our business, rather than simply looking great. We now have a website that represents Wisteria & Oak beautifully and, more importantly, is already helping new clients find us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lachie and the team at We Are Hike. Thank you Lachie, we absolutely love what you’ve created for us!
