Quick answer
How much does a tradie website cost in Wollongong?
As of 7 Oct 2026, published tradie website prices relevant to Illawarra businesses run from $660 plus $33 a month to $9,900 ex GST. Most local options cluster between about $1,360 and $2,270 ex GST for a one-to-five page site. Ongoing fees change the picture: a $59-a-month subscription adds up to $2,124 over three years and is never paid off. Since 90.8% of Wollongong's construction businesses have fewer than five staff, five to eight pages usually covers the work. Our WordPress band is A$900–A$4,300, with your figure fixed in a written quote.
- Lowest upfront: $660 plus $33 a month, GST basis not stated
- Wollongong studio packages: $1,499 to $6,800 inc GST
- National tradie specialist: $5,000 to $9,900 ex GST
- Codingclave: A$900–A$4,300 on WordPress, hosted wherever you choose

Illawarra tradie website prices, checked 7 Oct 2026, with the GST basis on every row
Only one Wollongong studio prints a full tradie price list, and only for itself. So on 7 October 2026 we recorded what every provider an Illawarra trade business is likely to be quoted by publishes. Where a price includes GST, we divided by 1.1.

Thirty-six months on: what each tradie package costs once hosting is counted
Hosting or a subscription runs as long as the site is live, so each package below is carried forward 36 months on its provider's own figures; where a running cost isn't published, the total stays open. Our 24-month national comparison uses other providers.
| Option | Upfront | Ongoing | 36-month total (our sum) | Domain registered to | If you stop paying (as published) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tideloc, monthly | $0 | $59 a month (hosting, domain, SSL, updates) | $2,124; $1,770 billed yearly (2 months free a year) | Not stated | Not stated (month-to-month, 30-day money-back) |
| PRO Websites For Tradies, Starter (5 pages) | $660 | $33 a month | $1,848 | Not stated | Not stated |
| PRO Websites For Tradies, Business (10 pages) | $1,320 | $44 a month | $2,904 | Not stated | Not stated |
| PRO Websites For Tradies, PRO (15 pages) | $2,200 | $55 a month | $4,180 | Not stated | Not stated |
| Zylo Starter (5 pages) | $2,499 inc GST | Hosting free for 12 months, then unpriced; care plans from $149 a month optional | $2,499 plus 24 months of unpriced hosting | Not stated | 'You own the website outright' |
| Tradie Websites Co | $799 | No subscription stated; hosting not stated | $799 plus any hosting (not stated) | Not stated | Not stated |
| Codingclave WordPress, on a host you choose | A$900–A$4,300 | Whatever your chosen host charges | A$900–A$4,300 plus your host's fees | Your business | Already registered to you; nothing to transfer |
| Codingclave WordPress with our plan | A$900–A$4,300 | Optional A$80–A$240 a month (A$2,880–A$8,640 over 36) | A$3,780–A$12,940 | Your business | Plan exit terms set in writing; code and domain stay yours |
Three exit questions for any provider: whose name is the domain in, will you export the site files on request, and what happens to the site the day I cancel? Get the answers by email before paying a deposit.
Most 5–8 page trade sites don't need our plan: host it yourself and three years costs the build plus your host's fees. With the plan we can cost more than a subscription over three years, so we aren't the cheapest route; the gap pays for a domain and code in your name and a site that changes host without a rebuild.
Send me your current quote and we'll carry it forward 36 months the same way.

Built in Lucknow, checked on your phone in Wollongong: four straight answers
One Wollongong designer's page has a section titled 'The Problem with Cheap Overseas Freelancers'. We are overseas, so here is the honest version. Codingclave Development LLP is Ashish Sharma's firm, set up in Lucknow, India in 2017 and still run by him, with no office, staff, phone line or ABN in Australia.
| Concern | Straight answer | Written into your quote |
|---|---|---|
| Time zones | You review after knock-off, when you're doing quotes anyway, and changes are waiting next morning. Until 4 April 2027 our Monday-to-Saturday day is 3:30pm to 12:30am Wollongong time, an hour and a half of crossover with a 9-to-5; then 2:30pm to 11:30pm AEST. | Agreed call times |
| Who owns it | The domain sits in your business's name, the code is handed over at launch, and the site can be moved to any host. | Exit terms |
| Paying safely | The split and payment methods go into your written quote before you sign. With anyone, avoid paying in full before you've seen a working staging site. | Payment split and methods |
| Speed | The fastest local package claims 48 hours; our WordPress builds take 1–2 weeks. Need it live this week? They're faster. | Start and launch dates |
References and the rest of the remote question: how a Lucknow team works with a Wollongong owner. WhatsApp to our +91 number over data carries no international call charges, and voice notes and photos go straight from the job. WhatsApp your trade and suburbs for a fixed figure.

4,892 construction businesses across Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama, and over half are one-person outfits
Construction is the largest industry in the Wollongong council area: 3,185 businesses actively trading at 30 June 2025, 19.6% of the total, on the latest ABS council figures. Shellharbour and Kiama add 1,707, with a higher construction share in both.
More trades on the same searches
Wollongong's count rose 11.9%, from 2,847 in June 2021 to 3,185 in June 2025: 338 more trade businesses on the same searches, so a general 'our services' page now sits beside sites with a page for the exact job.
How many pages a tradie website needs
With 90.8% of Wollongong's construction businesses under five staff, 30 or 90 pages is rarely the right size. Five to eight usually covers it: home with tap-to-call, a page per main service, an emergency or price-guide page, recent jobs, about and contact.
| Council | Construction businesses | Share of all businesses | Non-employing | 1–4 staff | 5+ staff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wollongong | 3,185 | 19.6% (largest industry) | 1,675 | 1,218 | 291 |
| Shellharbour | 1,218 | 27.2% | 609 | 499 | 110 |
| Kiama | 489 | 22.1% | 283 | 179 | 27 |
| Three councils | 4,892 | 21.3% | 2,567 | 1,896 | 428 |

Units, townhouses and Shellharbour’s $764m of non-residential work: pages beyond the domestic call-out
ABS building approvals for the year to June 2025 show where coming trade work is likely to be, and much of it isn't a homeowner ringing about one house.
1,568 Wollongong dwelling approvals in 2024–25, 1,115 of them not houses
Wollongong approved 1,568 dwellings, up from 900 the year before: 1,115 units, townhouses and other non-house dwellings against 444 private houses. Builders usually subcontract that work, and strata managers look after the buildings later. A 'work for builders and strata' page stating what you subcontract, crew size, licence categories and invoicing answers what they check first.
Shellharbour’s $764m non-residential year
Shellharbour's non-residential approvals reached $764m of $1,058m, more than double Wollongong's $358m. A commercial page lists work types, insurance and site-induction readiness, and only what you hold; a facilities manager will ask for certificates. Port Kembla maintenance and shutdown work belongs there too, not on a suburb page written for homes.
Five-year housing targets of 9,200, 3,800 and 900 homes
The NSW Government's five-year targets are 9,200 homes for Wollongong, 3,800 for Shellharbour and 900 for Kiama. Don't write zone pages early: if jobs already come from newer estates around West Dapto or Shell Cove, give that zone a page with photos. Kiama approved 67 dwellings, 48 of them houses, so domestic pages lead there.

The searches Wollongong customers type, and the page each one needs
A trade site's page list should come from what customers type. Google's Australian autocomplete on 7 October 2026 shows the words people add after a trade and 'wollongong', and each is a different job wanting its own page.
Plumber website Wollongong
A burst pipe at 9pm and a bathroom rough-in next month are different callers: the emergency page leads with the number and after-hours total, planned-work pages with photos and lead times. Roof plumbing gets its own page because people search for it by name.
Electrician website Wollongong
Endeavour Energy distributes electricity across the Illawarra. If you hold Level 2 ASP accreditation for work on that network, or Clean Energy Council accreditation for solar, show it with the number; if not, leave it off.
Builder website Wollongong
A builder asks clients to trust them for months, so one page per finished project, with stages and photos, does more than a services list; the same goes for civil contractors quoting to developers. Residential work over $5,000 needs a NSW licence in the footer. Show HIA or Master Builders membership only while current.
Air-con and refrigeration
NSW requires a licence for this work at any value. Split pages into home installs, commercial servicing and breakdowns.
| What customers type | What they want | Page to build | What goes on it |
|---|---|---|---|
| plumbers wollongong prices | A number before they ring | Price guide | All-in totals for defined jobs |
| commercial plumbers wollongong | A contractor for a building, not a house | Commercial plumbing | Work types, after-hours cover, documents you hold |
| roof plumbers wollongong | Gutters, downpipes or a leak fixed | Roof plumbing | Your roof job photos and the materials you use |
| emergency electrician wollongong | Someone tonight | Emergency | Tap-to-call up top, real answering hours, after-hours total |
| electrician wollongong residential | A job at home | Residential electrical | Switchboards, lighting, safety switches |
| commercial electrician wollongong; industrial electrician wollongong | Fit-outs, maintenance, work in the industrial south | Commercial and industrial | Plant maintenance, test and tag if offered |
More trades: what each trade's site should lead with and quote forms into ServiceM8 or Tradify. Wix (one Sydney studio here builds on it) versus WordPress or custom: website builder or built for you; hipages-style platforms: own site or platforms. Ranking is a separate job, explained on our Wollongong SEO page.

Painters, roofers, landscapers and concreters: the page that matters most
For four more trades, this is the page we'd build first and how the NSW licence line applies.
| Trade | Page that matters most | Licence line |
|---|---|---|
| Painter | Before-and-after gallery: interiors, exteriors, strata repaints | In the footer when the job is residential building work over $5,000 |
| Roofer | Repairs and restorations, with storm and leak call-outs on their own page | Same $5,000 test; list gutters and downpipes only if your licence covers them |
| Landscaper | Finished projects: retaining walls, paving, planting | Same $5,000 residential building work test |
| Concreter | Driveways, slabs and paths, with all-in price totals | Same $5,000 residential building work test |
Check the exact category on your licence first; Verify NSW shows it as customers will.

The NSW licence line and total-price rule, worked through for a Wollongong sparkie
NSW Government guidance on building trade advertisements covers websites. Here is how it looks on a real page. General information, not legal advice.
The footer on every page
[Licensee or registered business name] · Lic. [number] (Electrician) · [business phone]
The category matches the work the site advertises, and it's live text rather than part of a logo image, so it reads on a phone and Google can see it.
Linking the number
The number links to Verify NSW, the NSW Government's lookup, so a customer can check it in one tap.
A price-guide line written as a total
Hot-water system swap, northern suburbs: $[total] all-in, call-out included.
A call-out fee shown alone, with no full price beside it, breaks the partial-price rule. Travel beyond your radius is shown as a total too.
Licensing in other states is on our national tradie page. Already have a site with no licence line? Send us the URL and we'll tell you what's missing.

Service-area pages by drive zone, not a list of suburb names
Start from where your van goes and what getting there costs. The M1 runs the length of the Illawarra, so judge a zone by how long a typical job takes door to door, with traffic and parking, not by kilometres.
| Zone | Suburbs | Build a zone page when | Skip it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northern | Helensburgh, Thirroul, Bulli, Woonona, Corrimal | Jobs up the coast fill a regular day each week, with photos | A trip north is a one-off priced as a travel total |
| Central | Wollongong, Fairy Meadow, Figtree, Mangerton | Rarely: home and service pages cover it | It's your base |
| South and industrial | Unanderra, Berkeley, Warrawong, Port Kembla | Most of your work there is in homes, with photos | It's plant or shutdown work: use the commercial page |
| Dapto and West Dapto | Dapto, West Dapto | New-estate jobs are already booked and photographed | You're still waiting for that work |
| Shellharbour | Albion Park, Oak Flats, Warilla, Shell Cove, Flinders | It's a regular run; customers search by their council name | You cross the council line only now and then |
| Kiama | Kiama, Jamberoo, Gerringong | You go south often enough to quote travel as a fixed total | It's beyond your call-out radius |
The rule: a zone page only where real jobs and photos exist, one per zone, with travel beyond your radius stated as a total. Shellharbour and Kiama businesses get the same plan and bands. Service areas without a shopfront: Google Business Profile and service areas.

Already holding a tradie website quote? Send it and we’ll check eight lines
Paste any quote into WhatsApp and we'll mark it against these eight lines, whether or not you build with us.
| Line on the quote | Ask this |
|---|---|
| GST basis | Inc GST, ex GST or not stated? Several providers never say. |
| Page count and suburb pages | Which pages, by name, and which zones get one? |
| Who writes the copy | Is copywriting in the price? Zylo's Landing and Starter leave it out ($180 a page); Growth covers five pages and Premium all. |
| Hosting after month 12 | What does hosting cost from month 13, and can I move it? |
| Domain registrant | Will the domain be registered to my business, not yours? |
| Export on cancel | Will you hand over the site files and database if I leave? |
| Deposit refundability | When does the deposit stop being refundable? Zylo's 50% does once work starts. |
| Delivery date in writing | Which date is written in, and what if it slips? |
Send the quote on WhatsApp and we'll mark it up during our Monday-to-Saturday afternoons and evenings, Wollongong time.
