The middle, broken

You're not paid to argue with web developers at 9pm.

A trade is a real job. The day starts at 6, the van is full, the phone goes off the hook, and somewhere between the third coffee and the fourth callout you're supposed to "do your marketing". The big agency wants a 12-week engagement. The cheap site looks like a 2009 bouncer's Bebo page. ServiceM8 is good but you didn't ask for a $79/month per-user lock-in. You just want a site that ranks, a booking flow that works on a phone, and a quote PDF that doesn't look like Comic Sans threw up.

  • "Done-for-you" subscription sites that lock you into $200+ per month
  • Generic web designers who've never written copy for an electrician
  • Lead-gen platforms that resell the same lead to four of your competitors
  • Quote PDFs typed manually in Word for every job, week after week
  • No clear separation between Google Business, your website, and Facebook

We match you with three vetted Australian developers who have already built for trades. Sparkies, plumbers, builders, landscapers, painters, mobile mechanics. They know the search terms, the call-to-actions, the after-hours quote workflows.

Why FindDevs for this

Built by Australians who know your sector.

Devs who get the job site.

Our network has built for sparkies, plumbers, builders, painters, landscapers, mobile mechanics, locksmiths, glaziers, tilers, and pest control. They know "after-hours emergency electrician" needs different copy than "kitchen renovation builder".

Mobile-first, actually.

70%+ of trade enquiries come from mobile. Our developers test on real phones, on real Telstra 4G, not just Chrome desktop on fibre.

Click-to-call beats clever.

Animated hero videos don't book jobs. Big phone buttons do. We match you with developers who design for conversion, not portfolio screenshots.

Xero, MYOB, ServiceM8 integration.

Your tooling stays. We integrate cleanly with Australian accounting and field-service tools you already use, instead of replacing your stack.

Tech we know

The stack our matched developers Trades & Services developers actually use.

"I run an electrical business with 6 sparkies. I've been burnt before by a Sydney agency that quoted me $19k for what FindDevs got me for $7,200 with the same scope. Two of the three quotes were from devs who'd already built for trades. Easy choice."

FAQ

Common questions.

A solid local-SEO marketing site lands at $3.8k–$9.5k. Add booking flow ($5.5k–$14k) and you're still well under what most agencies will quote. The full pricing guide on our home page breaks it down by feature set.
Local SEO is mostly about Google Business, schema markup, fast mobile load, and earning real reviews from real customers. Our matched developers cover the technical foundations. Ongoing content (blog posts, case studies, suburb pages) helps over time but isn't magic. Anyone selling a "$200 SEO package" is selling air.
For 1–4 person teams, yes, they're hard to beat for the price. Once you're 5+ crew, your processes get specific enough that the SaaS lock-in starts costing more than a custom tool would. We help you do the maths honestly.
Cheap is usually a beginner with no track record. Our 12% acceptance rate means every developer in the network has been vetted on portfolio, communication, and Australian client references. The Service Guarantee covers you if a match goes sideways: we step in to find a replacement at no cost.
Some can. Most won't, and that's honest of them. Building a great site and managing ads are different skills. We'll match you with a developer first; if you also need ads management, we can recommend an Aussie agency partner.
Plan on $80–$300/month for hosting, security, and small content tweaks. Most network developers offer retainers in that band. You're never locked in: you own the site, you own the domain, you can move it anywhere.
