So we built the team we wished every tradie had in their corner — and we put our money where our mouth is.
You know the story. A tradie who’s brilliant on the tools hands over a few grand to a big agency, gets locked into a contract, and ends up with a slow, bloated website that looks alright but never actually rings the phone.
We watched it happen too many times. Quality trade businesses — the ones who turn up, do the job properly and leave the place tidy — losing work to louder, slicker operators who were simply easier to find online.
So 5 Star Tradie was built to flip the whole thing on its head. We build your website first and show you the finished article. Love it? You pay. Don’t? You walk — no deposit, no lock-in, no awkward conversation.
We only take one tradie per area, so we’re never working for your competition. We’re Australian owned, a real person answers the phone, and every plan is month-to-month because we’d rather earn your business than trap it.
That’s the whole idea: do right by good tradies, and let the work speak for itself.
You wouldn’t send one bloke out to bat, bowl and keep all day — and you shouldn’t hand your whole online presence to one stretched “web person” either. Instead you get a specialist for every job, each the best in the country at their one thing, all pulling toward the same result: more of the right work, ringing your phone.
Real people, real lanes. The person building your site isn’t the same person guessing at your ads — and you can pick up the phone to any of them.
Mitch watched too many quality tradies get outranked by louder operators and knew he wanted to be part of fixing it — he's helped build the standard the whole team runs on since. As CEO, his rule hasn't moved an inch: you see the finished site before a cent changes hands.
Tom founded 5 Star Tradie and runs Accounts end to end — the bloke who actually picks up the phone. He keeps every project moving, chases the team so you don't have to, and makes sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Sophie turns the job photos you fire through into a polished, consistent feed that makes your next customer say 'yeah, that's the tradie I want.'
Liam maps where your business sits online, spots the gaps, and builds the plan that connects every channel to more qualified enquiries.
Jess sweats the details so visitors don't have to think. Right layout, right flow, right first impression — your site works because she made it work.
Dave plays the long game and wins it. On-page, technical, local — he climbs you up Google for the searches that put real work in your calendar.
Marcus runs the campaigns that bring work in when you need it now. Sharp targeting, honest reporting, no wasted budget. He treats your ad spend like his own.
Ben is the reason your site loads fast, stays secure and never goes down at 2am. If something breaks, he's already on it — probably before you've noticed.
One team, one result. Every member lives in their lane all day — so nothing about your website, your Google presence or your ads is ever an afterthought. You run the business; we handle the online side of it.
We’ll tell you what you actually need — even when it’s “not yet”. No jargon, no scare tactics, no padding the invoice.
We back one business per trade, per area. That means we’re genuinely on your side, never building for the bloke down the road too.
We build the real thing first and show you. Love it, you pay. Don’t, you walk — no deposit, no risk, no hard feelings.
Aussie owned and operated, month-to-month, and a real person answers when you call. We earn your business every month, not with a contract.
Tell us your trade and suburb. We’ll confirm if your area’s available, then build your site for you to see — before you pay a cent. Takes 20 seconds.
