Websites for painters
Websites for painters that turn quote requests into booked jobs.
Most people choosing a painter want to see your work before they ring you. If your only online presence is a Facebook page or a directory listing, they can't tell your cutting-in from a roller job, and they move on to someone who shows them.
A simple 5-page site lets you put your best interior and exterior work front and centre, explain how you quote, and give people an easy way to send through a photo of the room or fence they want done. That's usually all it takes to get the phone going.
What your site should include
Built around how painters actually win work.
A before-and-after gallery that actually loads
Painting sells on the contrast. Pair shots of tired weatherboard, peeling render or a dated feature wall with the finished result. Keep the photos sharp and let people swipe through on their phone without waiting.
Split interior and exterior clearly
These are different jobs with different worries. Someone wanting a nursery repainted cares about low-VOC paint and tidy edges. Someone with sun-baked Queenslander cladding cares about prep, primer and how long it'll last. Give each its own section.
Be upfront about what you do and don't do
Say whether you take on roof painting, fences, decks, render, commercial or strata. List the suburbs you cover. It stops you fielding calls for jobs an hour away that you were never going to take.
Explain your prep and your quote process
Cheap quotes usually skip prep. A short plain-English rundown of how you wash, sand, fill and prime, and what a written quote includes, helps people understand why your number isn't the lowest one they got.
A quote form that lets them attach a photo
Half your quoting is sizing up the job. Let people upload a photo of the wall, room or exterior straight from their phone so you can give a ballpark before you drive out.
Common mistakes
What we see go wrong on painters' websites.
Stock photos of someone else's work
Generic images of a smiling painter in white overalls tell a customer nothing. They want to see your lines, your finish and your tidy-up. Even phone photos of your own jobs beat stock every time.
No mention of the suburbs you cover
Painters get a lot of 'do you come out this way' calls. If your site never names the areas you work, you'll waste time on jobs too far out and miss the local ones searching for a painter nearby.
Hiding how to get a quote
If the only contact option is a phone number buried in the footer, you lose the people browsing at 9pm. A clear quote button on every page catches them while they're thinking about it.
Questions painters ask us
I already post jobs on Facebook. Why do I need a site?
Facebook is good for showing regulars your work, but it doesn't show up well when someone searches 'painter near me', and your best photos get buried within a week. A site is a fixed home for your work and contact details that you actually control.
Can you put my old job photos on there?
Yes. Send us what you've got from your phone and we'll lay them out as before-and-after sets. If your photos are a bit rough we'll pick the strongest ones and crop them to look their best.
Will it get me to the top of Google?
We can't promise rankings, and anyone who does is guessing. What we do is build the site cleanly, name your suburbs and services properly, and set up your Google Business Profile so you've got a fair shot locally.
What if I want to add a new service later, like roof spraying?
Just tell us. Reasonable changes like adding a service, swapping photos or updating your number are covered by the $99/month care plan, so you're not paying a developer every time.
