Built for trades. Not for agencies.
Most web agencies are built to keep you paying. We're built to get you a great website, fast, that you actually own.
The trades web game is rigged
Walk into a typical web agency as a tradie and here's the playbook: a 'discovery' process to work out your budget, a price that somehow matches it, then a 12-month contract and a site you never really own.
Stop paying and the site can vanish. Want a small change and it's another invoice. It's a model designed around the agency, not around you.
We built Scalesites to do the opposite. One flat price. Your site, live in two weeks. You own it outright. And if you ever want to leave, you take everything with you.
Scalesites vs the alternatives
The honest version.
| Scalesites | Typical agency | DIY (Wix/WordPress) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront price | $500–$750 flat | $3,000–$10,000+ | $0–$500 + your time |
| Time to live | 2 weeks | 6–12 weeks | Weeks of evenings |
| Lock-in contract | None | Usually 12 months | None |
| Who builds it | We do | They do | You do |
| Copy written for you | Included | Often extra | You write it |
| Local SEO setup | Included | Often extra | Up to you |
| Ongoing fees | Optional $99/mo | $200–$500/mo | Hosting only |
| You own it | Yes, fully | Often not | Yes |
What you actually get with us
No lock-in contracts
Pay for the website. Own it. That's the deal. No 12-month agreements, no exit clauses, no hostage situations.
2 weeks, not 3 months
Other agencies run 6–12 week timelines. We've cut that down. You're live in 2 weeks and taking enquiries from day one.
Flat price, nothing hidden
$500 or $750. No discovery calls to find out the real price. No add-on fees mid-project.
Australian owned & run
We know the Australian trades market — how locals search, what they trust, and what makes them pick up the phone.
Built to rank locally
Every site is set up with local SEO from the start — not bolted on later. Your area. Your trade. Your keywords.
Preview before you pay
We send a real preview of your site — with your branding and content — before you put your hand in your pocket.
No preview you love, no payment
We send you a real preview of your site before you pay anything. If it's not right, you don't pay and you owe us nothing. That's how confident we are that you'll want to go live.
