Quick answer: Onyxarro's free tradie website audit covers plumbers, builders, electricians, sparkies, auto mechanics, roofers, and contractors. It includes three deliverables: a written audit ranking every issue costing you call-outs (mobile speed, tap-to-call placement, quote-request flow, service-area clarity, trust signals like reviews and licences, real project photos, lead capture), a redesigned homepage preview deployed at a public URL, and a conversion report with the estimated revenue impact of each fix. Revenue impact figures are estimates, not guarantees. All three arrive by email within 48 hours, free, no card, no calls. The review applies the same patterns we cover in our guides on tradie website design examples, builder website design examples, roofer website design examples, service business website examples, homepage examples, trust signals, call-to-action examples, contact pages, and pricing pages. The review is strictly about website design. We do not give building, trade, legal, safety, licensing, insurance, or compliance advice, and we do not make claims about guaranteed jobs, leads, rankings, revenue, bookings, or quote volume. Submit your URL on /audit; full service catalogue and pricing at /services; founder context at /about; concept demos at /concepts are concept projects, not paid client work; broader agency overview on the homepage.

Honest proof

Estimates, not guarantees.

Onyxarro does not promise specific revenue, leads, or job volume. What we promise is honest, written work and a redesigned preview you can open and inspect.

Estimated revenue impact

Lost-call revenue figures are estimates based on your traffic, call conversion rate, and average job value. Not guarantees of revenue, jobs, or quote volume.

Real trade demos, labelled

HBPG, Bartholomew, and Matt's Automotive are live concept demos built by Onyxarro to show the trade-site pattern. Concept work, openly labelled. Real client case studies will be added at /work as paid projects ship and clients approve publication.

What we do not do

No fake testimonials, no aggregated star ratings, no stock client logos. No building, trade, legal, safety, licensing, insurance, or compliance advice. Strictly a website design review.

Tradie FAQ

Questions trades always ask.

What does a tradie website audit cover?

A tradie website audit reviews the website experience, not trade operations. It covers service clarity (what you do, who for, where), the quote and enquiry pathway, trust signals (reviews, licences, real project photos, team profiles), local service-area clarity, mobile load speed and tap-to-call placement, FAQ coverage, CTA placement, and whether the page makes it easy for customers to enquire. It is strictly a website design review. We do not give building, trade, legal, safety, licensing, insurance, staffing, financial, or compliance advice, and we do not make claims about guaranteed jobs, leads, rankings, revenue, bookings, or quote volume.

I'm a one-man band, is this worth it?

Especially for one-man bands. Every missed call is a job you can't pick up. A proper site that converts the traffic you already get is the cheapest sales rep you'll ever hire.

Do I need photos of my work?

Phone photos of real jobs beat stock imagery 10 times out of 10. If you don't have any, we'll work with what we have and swap photos in later. It's not a blocker.

What if my site is on Yellow / Localist / a template builder?

We see it constantly. Your old site stays live while we build. We hand you a working redesigned preview on a new URL, you decide if/when to switch.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes. Free audit, free redesigned preview, free conversion report, yours to keep. Some businesses who see the redesign decide to hire Onyxarro for the full build. That is the model: prove value first, then let the right clients move forward.

What happens if I want the full site?

Reply to the audit email. We will send a fixed quote (Launch $5,000, Growth $8,000, Studio $13,000+ custom scoped) and timeline. 50% deposit starts the build. Launch and Growth move quickly after approval. Larger Studio builds are scoped clearly before we start. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no monthly hosting creep.

Your trade deserves a site that brings in the calls.

Scroll up, fill the form, and within 48 hours you'll know exactly what your current site is costing you. Free audit, redesigned homepage preview, conversion report. Yours to keep regardless. Revenue impact figures are estimates, not guarantees.
