Website Design
for Windscreen Specialists.
A chip appears on the highway and it gets searched that night, usually with an insurance policy open in the other tab. We build sites that catch that search and turn it into a booking rather than a phone tag.

What a windscreen website actually has to do
The job is urgent, the customer is usually claiming on insurance, and the car is more complicated than it used to be. Here is what we build in.
Quote from the rego, not a phone call
Make and model changes the glass, the price and the time, and nobody wants to read that off a registration paper over the phone. Capturing the vehicle details in the enquiry means the quote is right first time and the booking happens in one go.
Split the chip from the replacement
A chip repair is cheap, fast and often free on insurance. A full replacement is a different price and a different day. Separating them means people self-select correctly instead of ringing to find out which one they need.
Handle the insurance question up front
Which insurers you work with, what the excess usually is, and that you do the claim paperwork. This is the single biggest reason someone hesitates, and answering it on the page is what gets them to book with you rather than ring their insurer first.
Own the ADAS conversation
Almost every modern car needs its forward-facing camera recalibrated after a windscreen replacement, and most drivers have never heard of it. Explaining that, and that you do it properly, is the clearest way to separate yourself from whoever is cheapest.
Say whether you come to them
Mobile fitting at home or the work carpark is the whole selling point for a lot of customers, and workshop fitting suits others. Making it obvious which you offer, and where you travel, removes the question that stops the booking.
Chase the fleet and farm work
Trucks, buses, tractors and headers are higher value, less price-driven and repeat business. Giving commercial and agricultural glass its own page brings in work that never comes through a consumer insurance claim.
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

I was fortunate enough to come across Hike's website and have the opportunity to work with Lachlan. I had very limited understanding and experience in developing a profile online and his services made that effortless. The process was streamlined and allowed for plenty of personalised input and flexibility along the way. His services are well priced, and he always made an effort to respond to my queries regardless of the time or day. I started with a vision and can comfortably say that it has evolved to something greater. I look forward to collaborating with Lachlan again in the future.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lachlan from Hike a few times. His level of expertise and dedication to his work was exceptional. He was an absolute lifesaver when it came to fixing issues related to my website. He also provided valuable insights and recommendations that helped me improve my website. I cannot recommend him enough!
