The Problem

Why most Wollongong trade websites miss the local job.

The Illawarra is a narrow strip between the escarpment and the sea. A homeowner in Thirroul, a family in Dapto and a retiree in Shell Cove all search by trade and suburb: roofer Bulli, painter Figtree, electrician Albion Park.

A five-page site with a suburb list in the footer gives Google one page for every one of those searches. The bigger option is a typical agency at $3,000 to $15,000, often with 50% upfront before you see a page.

That strip leaves little room for new homes, so Wollongong renovates. KPMG names it the only regional council among New South Wales' top ten renovation markets, with money going into upgrading older homes in established neighbourhoods.

NSW adds a rule of its own. Ads for residential building work and specialist work have to carry your licence number, and NSW Fair Trading lists the internet as advertising. A website built without it is an ad without it.

Ampliia builds a 30+ page site with a page for every service and every Illawarra suburb you work, your licence details on every page, and quote requests going straight to your phone.

The Wollongong Market

The only regional council in NSW's top ten for renovations.

Wollongong's coastal strip leaves little room for new housing, so homeowners upgrade what they have. Here is what the published numbers say.

Top 10

Wollongong is the only regional council among New South Wales' top ten renovation markets, KPMG says, because of limited new housing along the coastal strip and growing investment in upgrading older homes.

Suburb Pages

The Illawarra suburbs a Build would target.

We have no Wollongong Clients yet, so these are not live pages. They show how we would map the northern suburbs, the city and Shellharbour for you: a page for each suburb you actually take work in, on your site, not ours.

NSW Licence Rules

What NSW Fair Trading expects on a Wollongong website.

In NSW, the building trade advertising rules cover the internet as well as print, TV and radio, so your website has to meet them too.

  • ·Your name or registered business name and your contractor licence number must be shown in all advertising. NSW Fair Trading also asks for the licence category of work and a business phone number. We put all of it on every page of your Build.
  • ·You need a contractor licence to carry out, advertise or contract for residential building work over $5,000 in labour and materials, including GST. Specialist work, such as electrical, plumbing, draining, gasfitting and air conditioning, needs one at any value.
  • ·Leaving those details off an ad carries a maximum penalty of $1,100 for an individual and $2,200 for a company under the Home Building Regulation 2014. Because every page carries them, there is nothing for you to remember.
  • ·You can't state a price that is only part of the cost unless the full single price is also clearly stated. If your Build shows prices, we write them as full prices.

Structure

What goes into a Wollongong Build.

Feature 01

Dedicated Service Pages

Bathroom renovations, re-roofing, decks or repaints each get their own page and quote form. No crowded one-page list of everything you do.

Feature 02

Illawarra Suburb Pages

A page for each suburb you work, from Thirroul and Bulli to Figtree and Shell Cove. Written for that area, so a local search lands on the right page.

Feature 03

Quote Form on Every Page

A mobile-first form that sends job details straight to your phone. No platform in the middle selling the same job to other tradies.

Feature 04

Tap-to-Call

A phone button on every page, so a homeowner in Corrimal or Albion Park can ring you in one tap.

Feature 05

NSW Licence & Real Proof

Your NSW contractor licence number, licence category and business phone on every page, next to photos of your real jobs.
