What a painter's website gets on the plan
Twelve parts, each built around how people choose a painter. All of it is included in NZ$269 a month plus NZ$549 setup, GST may apply.
A quote request form built for painting jobs
A generic "contact us" box gets you messages like "how much to paint my house?" and a round of phone tag. Your quote form asks the questions you would ask on the first call, so you can price the job or book a visit from the first message.
We set the fields to suit the work you do. A house painter needs interior or exterior, rooms or storeys, cladding and suburb. A decorator needs wall size and whether the paper is chosen. A commercial contractor needs scope and access hours. Customers can attach photos, which saves a site visit for small jobs.
The form can also say whether you give quotes or estimates. The difference matters to customers: Consumer Protection describes a quote as an offer to do a job for a specified price 2 .
A before and after gallery that stays put
Photos of finished work are the strongest thing a painter can show, and on a social feed they disappear within days. On your site they sit in a gallery grouped by job type: exteriors, interiors, roofs, fences and decks, wallpaper, commercial.
Each before and after pair gets a short caption, such as the area and the prep involved, and alt text that describes what the photo shows. Google describes alt text as short, descriptive alt text 4 , and it also helps anyone using a screen reader.
Consent: a photo of someone's home is theirs to agree to. Ask before you share it, leave out house numbers and faces, and tell us which photos you have permission to use.
A page for each service you offer
Someone who needs their iron roof painted doesn't want to scroll past bedroom photos. Each service you offer gets its own page with its own photos, the questions customers ask about that job, and a quote button.
- Exterior house painting
- Interior painting
- Roof painting
- Wallpaper hanging
- Fences, decks and outdoor timber
- Commercial and new-build work
Those are examples. You tell us what you actually do, and we build pages for those services only.
The areas you cover, named plainly
People look for their own suburb or town name before they read anything else. Your site lists the areas you work in on an areas page and in the footer of every page, with a line about how you handle jobs just outside them.
We don't create dozens of near-identical pages for towns you don't really serve. Customers can tell, and Google's spam policies describe city pages that funnel visitors to one page as doorway abuse 3 .
Colour consultations, explained and bookable
If you offer colour advice, it deserves its own section: what a consultation covers, how long it takes, whether there's a fee and whether it comes off the job. A clear explanation turns "I'm not sure what colour" into a booked visit.
The section can link to your own booking calendar or use a consultation request form. Details on photos and consultations are in our guide to before and after photos and colour consultations.
Your real reviews, and nothing else
The site links to your Google reviews and can show reviews you have permission to quote, word for word, with the reviewer's first name if they agree. We never write reviews or testimonials, and we don't show a star rating we can't check.
Stay within the rules when you ask for reviews. Google says offering discounts or freebies in exchange for a review is strictly prohibited 1 . Our article on getting more Google reviews sets out a simple way to ask.
Built for phones first
Plenty of people look up a painter on their phone, often while standing in front of the house that needs work. Every page is laid out for a small screen first: large tap targets, a phone number that dials when tapped, and a quote button that is always within reach.
Pages Google can read
Each page gets a clear title and description, headings that describe the content, structured data that tells search engines what your business is, and a sitemap. That's the groundwork search engines need.
It isn't a promise of rankings. Nobody can honestly guarantee where a site appears on Google, and we don't.
Hosting, SSL and security updates
Hosting is part of the monthly fee, so there is no separate bill. Your site loads over https with an SSL certificate, and we keep the software behind it updated. If something breaks, fixing it is our job.
Up to 5 content edits a month
A content edit is one change to an existing page. Send it by email or message and we make it. Typical edits for a painting business:
- Add new before and after photos
- Update prices or a service description
- Add or remove a suburb
- Change your hours or phone number
- Post a "booked until" notice for the busy season
- Swap the photo on your home page
New pages, new features or a redesign are outside the plan. We price them first, and nothing is charged unless you agree.
A monthly report of your enquiries
Once a month you get a short report of the enquiries that came through your website: how many there were, and the date and job type of each. It shows whether the site is pulling its weight and which services people ask about.
Your domain, your content
Your domain name is registered in your business name and paid to the registrar by you, so it is always yours. The words, photos and logo you supply stay yours too. If you leave after the minimum term, we give you a copy of your content on request and help you point the domain wherever you choose.
The full terms are on the plan terms page, and the price is set out on pricing.
Not part of the plan
- Paid advertising, such as Google Ads, and the ad spend.
- Logo or brand design.
- Writing your content: you supply the words, photos and prices, and we lay them out.
- Domain registration fees: the domain is registered in your business name and you pay the registrar.
