Carbon Black Digital
WEBSITE DESIGN FOR TRADIES / GOLD COAST + BRISBANE
Websites for tradies who want better enquiries.
You do careful work. A customer landing on your website should be able to see that before they ring you.
We build and update trade websites: what you do, where you work, photos of finished jobs, and a quote form that asks the right questions.

Diagnostic from A$1,200. Website build quoted separately. Scope and fees agreed before paid work starts.

WHEN THE SITE HAS FALLEN BEHIND
The website is a few years behind the business.
The photos might be from old jobs. Callers keep asking whether you cover their suburb. Or the site looks fine and every enquiry still turns up without an address or much idea of the job. That’s where we start.
WHAT WE BUILD AROUND
Make it easy for the right customer to get in touch.
01
Show the jobs you want more of.
Set out your main services and show finished work. Give people enough detail to work out whether you’re the right outfit for their job.
02
Say where you work.
List the areas and suburbs you cover. Pages are built around real services and locations, so customers and search engines can tell what the business does and where.
03
Easy to enquire from a phone.
Keep contact details within reach on a phone. Ask for the information you need to assess the job, with a form that’s easy to finish.
04
Know where each enquiry goes.
We send test enquiries through to the inbox that receives them. A CRM connection or follow-up workflow is scoped with you before it gets built.
WHY CARBON BLACK DIGITAL
We’ve done the site work and the paperwork after it.
Before CBD we worked in construction and ran a trade business, so we know the quoting and admin still waiting once the tools are packed up. We start by understanding how you quote and win work, then build the site around that.

AGREE THE SCOPE FIRST
Know what you’re paying for.
Tell us about the business and your current site, if you’ve got one. We’ll say whether it’s a fit and what happens next.
PAID WORKFLOW DIAGNOSTIC
From A$1,200
We go through your website and the path an enquiry takes, then write up the work and connections needed. If you go ahead with the build, the diagnostic fee comes off the build fee.
The website build is quoted separately. Scope and fees are agreed before any paid work begins.
A working version to review.
You read the copy and see the design before anything goes live. We check how it behaves on a phone and confirm enquiries land where they should. Hosting, running costs and support are set out in the agreed scope.
Talk about my website
Before you get in touch.
Can you improve the website we already have?
Often, yes, if the current platform can do what you need. We look at it first. Sometimes a targeted update is enough, and we’ll say so.
Will this get us to the top of Google?
No one can promise that. We build clear service pages and check the technical foundations. Rankings also depend on competition and the work that continues after launch. Advertising and ongoing SEO are scoped separately.
Do we need an AI chatbot?
Only if it solves a real problem. A clear site and an enquiry path that works come first. Assistants and automation can be looked at separately.
Do you only work on the Gold Coast?
We’re based on the Gold Coast and work with businesses across South East Queensland, including Brisbane. We also support Australian teams remotely.
