The finish is impossible to describe
Cut lines, prep, how the second coat sits. Most painters use the same words about quality, so the words stop meaning anything and the decision often falls back to price.
Tradie websites
Painter website design built on before and after.
SiteDone builds and hosts websites for Australian painters from $89 a month, live within 7 working days of us getting your details. Painting is bought on the finish and on whether you protect the place while you work, so the site is built around your photos and around what a customer is quietly worried about. Send a voice note about the work you take on and we build the rest.
$0 setup fee, 2 of 3 build slots open right now.

What customers are actually deciding when they hire a painter
Almost nobody is comparing paint. They are deciding whether to let you into the house for a week.
Interior and exterior are different sells
Interior is about mess, dust sheets and how long you are in their home. Exterior is about weather, prep and whether it will still look right in a few years. One page rarely makes both arguments well.
Commercial work rarely finds you
Strata, offices and rentals get searched for differently and judged differently, on scheduling and insurance rather than colour. If it is one line on a services page, those enquiries often go elsewhere.
The prep question goes unanswered
What gets sanded, what gets filled, what gets masked, who moves the furniture. It is the thing most customers are unsure about and the thing least likely to be written down anywhere.
How it works
One voice note, live in 7 working days
You stay on the tools. We write the pages, build the site and do the search groundwork.
Before and after, given room
The one thing that argues for you without saying anything. Phone photos are fine, and the layout is built to show pairs rather than bury them in a gallery.
Interior, exterior and commercial split
Each with its own argument, on its own page where your plan has room, so the person searching for one is not reading the case for another. Core Hub includes two or three suburb or service pages and Local Dominator five to ten. On Starter your services share one Services page.
Your prep, written down
What you sand, fill, mask and cover, and how you leave a room at the end of the day. It is one of the most reassuring things you can put on a painting site, and few painters do it.
Changes without a project
New photos after a job, a new suburb, a service dropped. Send a voice note and it is done, with change time included on every plan.
The full five steps are on the how it works page.

What happens if it doesn't work
The commitments that come with every build, not just the good-news version.
Live in 7 working days
Seven working days of our build time, counted from when we have everything we need. Miss it and your first month is free.
90 days to a real lead, or billing pauses
If no real lead reaches you within 90 days of going live, billing pauses and resumes the moment a lead comes in.
On the Core Hub and Local Dominator plans, with a verified Google Business Profile.
3 months to start, then month to month
No long-term contract. After your first 3 months, 30 days' notice to cancel and no exit fee. Your domain is yours from day one.
Quiet month? After your first 3 months you can pause billing for a month. Your site stays live.
The 7 working days counts our build time only, so it pauses while we are waiting on you, and anything reaching us before 12pm Melbourne time (AEST/AEDT) counts as arriving that working day. All five guarantees, and their limits, are on the guarantee page.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about painter websites
More on the full FAQ page if yours is not here.
Do before and after photos really matter?
They are one of the strongest things you can put on a painting site. Most painters claim a good finish, so a pair of photos does the arguing that a paragraph cannot. Phone photos taken from the same spot work fine.
Can I separate interior, exterior and commercial?
Yes, and it works better that way. They are searched for differently and judged differently, so each gets its own argument, on its own page where your plan has room, rather than sharing one services list.
Should I write out my prep process?
We would recommend it. What you sand, fill, mask and cover is the thing customers are most unsure about and something few painting sites spell out. It reassures people before they ever call.
Can I show colour consultations or brands I use?
You can list what you offer. We would not put brand claims or product performance on the page unless you can back them, since that is the sort of thing that gets challenged.
Should I show my licence on the site?
Yes, if you hold one. Several states license painting above a set job value, though in others painting alone needs no licence, and some require the number on advertising, including websites. Send us the details you want shown, and you stay responsible for holding the right licence and keeping it current.
What about strata and rental work?
It is worth its own page, where your plan has room. Those enquiries are assessed on scheduling, insurance and how you handle occupied properties, which is a different argument from a domestic repaint.
How quickly can it be live?
Seven working days from when your details reach us, counting our build time only, so it pauses while we are waiting on you. No monthly fees until your site is live. The $49 domain registration is separate.
What if work goes quiet for a while?
Wet weather can stall a month of work. After your first 3 months you can pause billing for a month. The site stays live. One pause every 12 months.
Everything else is on the full FAQ page.
