How much does the Tradie System cost?

Single-page website setup is $1,140 and multi-page setup is from $2,940 for standard scope. Both include the first 12 months of hosting and SSL, plus copy, design, launch, image optimisation, Google Business Profile support, and domain/email/phone setup as agreed. If you are not on Tradie CRM, ongoing hosting is $19 per month after that included period. Tradie CRM is optional at $240 per month for either site type, including hosting as part of the platform, CRM, lead capture, missed call text-back, follow-up automation, and pipeline. Three-month minimum when you take CRM, then month-to-month. Typical timelines: about 7 working days for a single-page site once all requested information and assets are provided and approvals are returned on time; about 2–3 weeks for a standard-scope multi-page site. Bright Path Creative is a sole trader not registered for GST; no GST applies to these fees.

How long until my site is live?

For a single-page site, we typically go live in about 7 working days once we have received everything we asked for and approvals are returned within the agreed windows. Multi-page sites usually take about 2–3 weeks for standard scope. Late materials or approvals extend the timeline; we confirm dates at kickoff.

What is included in the monthly fee?

The $240 per month Tradie CRM fee covers hosting for your live site plus enterprise CRM, lead capture into CRM, contact management and pipeline, missed call text-back, follow-up automation, and calendar/enquiry flow. If you do not take CRM, setup includes the first 12 months of hosting; after that, website-only hosting is $19 per month. 3-month minimum commitment when you take CRM, then month-to-month with 30 days notice. No hidden fees.

21 years on the tools. 20 days to a website worthy of every one of them.

Jamie Craig had spent two decades building some of the finest brickwork in Melbourne's east. His website was three pages on Wix with placeholder copy. We fixed that — brand, style guide, and a 12-page Next.js build — in under three weeks.

Where things stood

A website that
didn't do him justice.

Jamie is the kind of tradesman who earns referrals by leaving a job site cleaner than he found it and sending clients photos of the finished work before they've even had a chance to ask. His Google reviews say it all.

His website said none of that. Three pages on Wix. A headline that read "JC Brick and Blocklaying." Body copy with a literal placeholder — "over X years of experience." A Wix watermark in the footer. No service pages, no suburb targeting, no reviews, no award mention.

He'd originally spoken to Sara, then decided to try a cheaper option. He saw the result. He called back the same week. Once he saw what a proper multi-page build looked like, there was no going back to a single landing page.

The new site

Brand first.
Then every page built to rank and convert.

We started with the brand — logo refinement and a proper style guide — so the website had a foundation to build from. Then the copy. Then the build. Every decision made with one goal: a site that performs as hard as Jamie does.

The work

Six pieces. One platform built to win.

Brand refresh

Logo refinement and a full brand style guide — colour palette, typography, spacing, and tone of voice — formalised for the first time.

Website copy

Every word written by Sara — 10 page types, FAQs, metadata, schema copy, and suburb pages. All copy reviewed and signed off by Jamie before build.

Next.js website

12-page build in Next.js with App Router, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. Deployed on Vercel — mobile-first, fast-loading, structured for long-term SEO.

SEO foundation

Meta titles and descriptions for all 35 pages. JSON-LD schema for LocalBusiness, Services, and FAQs. llms.txt for AIEO discoverability.

Local area pages

23 suburb pages from Croydon and Ringwood to Healesville and Balwyn — each unique, internally linked, and structured to rank.

Developer handover

A complete Cursor Master Handover Pack — SEO spec, design tokens, build order, copy files, asset status, and intake prompts.

How it happened

20 days. Deposit to live.

Days 1 to 3

Brand & discovery. Logo refined, style guide locked. Colour palette, typography, tone of voice — all agreed before copy began.

Days 4 to 8

Copy written. All page copy written by Sara. 10 page types, 35 pages total. Sent to Jamie for review and sign-off.

Days 9 to 16

Build in Cursor. Developer handover pack delivered. Next.js build — 12 pages, 23 suburb pages, schema, metadata, gallery.

Days 17 to 20

Review & launch. Jamie reviewed the preview site. Final tweaks. Form and CRM wiring. Live on jcbricklaying.com.au.

The result

A site that finally looks like the work behind it.

The site went live 20 days after Jamie paid his deposit. It's a 12-page Next.js build with 23 suburb pages, seven dedicated service pages, a full gallery, client-approved copy on every page, JSON-LD schema, llms.txt for AI discoverability, and a brand identity that finally reflects what JC Brick & Blocklaying actually is.

The suburb pages mean Jamie now has a genuine shot at ranking for "bricklayer Ringwood," "retaining wall Doncaster," "outdoor fireplace Healesville" — searches his competitors aren't even set up to compete for. The schema and AIEO structure means when someone asks an AI assistant who the best bricklayer in Melbourne's east is, Jamie's business has a real chance of being the answer.

It's early days for lead data — the site just launched. But Jamie's first reaction to the preview link said everything we needed to know about whether we got it right.

"I genuinely couldn't believe how good it looked. Sara put everything into this — my experience, my services, everything that makes my business what it is. It's proper got me hyped. If you're a tradie who's been putting off getting your website sorted, just call her."
Jamie Craig / Owner, JC Brick & Blocklaying — Croydon, Melbourne VIC
