Website Design
for Plumbers.
When water is going somewhere it should not, nobody shops around. They search, they ring the first plumber who looks like they will actually turn up, and that is the whole decision. We build sites that win it.

What a plumber’s website actually has to do
Half your work is urgent and half of it is planned, and they are not the same customer. Here is what we build in, because it is what wins both.
One tap to call, always
Someone standing in an inch of water is not filling in a form. Your number sits in the header on every page, tappable, so ringing you takes one thumb and no thinking.
A page for every job you want
Blocked drains, hot water, gas fitting, leak detection, burst pipes, roofing and gutters, bathroom renovations. Each gets its own page, because that is how people search and it is how you get found for the work worth having.
Split the emergencies from the planned work
A burst pipe at midnight and a bathroom renovation are different customers with different margins. We build separate paths for each, so the urgent jobs convert fast and the bigger projects get the photos and detail they need.
Licence and gas authorisation on the page
Your plumbing licence number, your gas fitting authorisation and your insurance, visible rather than buried. Gas work in particular is something people check, and it quietly separates you from whoever is cheapest.
Be clear about where you go
People will not ring if they are unsure you come to their town, and you do not want to be quoting jobs ninety minutes away. We spell out the suburbs you cover, which helps the customer and helps you rank in local results.
Catch the after-hours job
Blockages and burst pipes do not wait for business hours. Enquiries land in your CRM and get an instant reply, so a Sunday night message is answered rather than sitting until Monday when someone else has been and gone.
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
Lachie is brilliant. He clearly communicates and simplifies everything for easy understanding. He was able to meet all expectations and interpret even the most ambiguous of my instructions. His ongoing support is also exceptional. Not a single regret in engaging HIKE and Lachie and will continue to use their services going forward.
