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.
Andy 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.
Pippa 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.'
Ethan maps where your business sits online, spots the gaps, and builds the plan that connects every channel to more qualified enquiries.
Rosie 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.
Libby plays the long game and wins it. On-page, technical, local — she climbs you up Google for the searches that put real work in your calendar.
Harry 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.
Antoine 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.
Real Google reviews, updated as they come in.
“Our Google Business profile alone is already bringing in more leads than we can handle, and the website looks fantastic. Tom really knows his stuff — if there’s something worth knowing in this space, he’s already on top of it.”
“I’m so glad I was able to take advantage of their one-tradie-per-area promotion and have the $3,000 setup fee waived. I’m absolutely stoked with my new website and Google Business page.”
“Worked with Tom for a few years and couldn’t recommend him enough. He understood exactly what I needed to get my sparky business set up properly online and running smoothly ever since.”
“I’ve worked with Tom on marketing for years, and it’s rare to find someone who genuinely knows their stuff without the ego that often comes with it. He’s straight-talking, easy to work with, and consistently delivers.”
“Coming from a trade background it was hard to kickstart my business in construction. Tom and the team helped me build a strong marketing platform and delivered exactly what they promised.”
“Great experience with Mitch, Tom, and the team at 5 Star Tradie. They know the trade game better than anyone I have worked with. Tom made the whole process easy, kept me in the loop.”
“Tom and the team have gone above and beyond for us, we can’t thank them enough. Tom knows anything and everything about digital marketing and our website looks amazing.”
“Very easy to deal with and really appreciate the assistance given! It’s rare to have quality customer service these days so we were blown away. Thanks a lot boys.”
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.
