“We probably got no more than 3 enquiries from our old website over 2 years. We would rely on word of mouth and Hi Pages for our work. In the second month of Mike’s website being live, we’ve had 23 enquiries and we’re currently in the process of quoting 11 of them. The difference has seriously been massive.”

Hervey Bay businesses

Web design for Hervey Bay, QLD

Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast are popular with new residents and visitors, and local searches are strong year-round. A professional website helps you show up when people search your trade plus their suburb.

Your site is built for the coast: fast on a phone, clear about the areas you cover from Pialba through to Maryborough, and designed so enquiries come straight to you instead of a lead-generation platform.

Trades, builders, cleaners, clinics, accountants, cafés, tourism operators and local small businesses across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast.

  • Pialba
  • Torquay
  • Urangan
  • Scarness
  • Maryborough

Local detail

What actually matters for Hervey Bay businesses

How Fraser Coast customers actually search

Hervey Bay splits into two very different customer groups. The first is retirees and long-term residents through Pialba, Scarness, Torquay and Point Vernon, who search a trade plus the suburb, read whatever looks established and ring one number. The second is absentee owners, holiday lettings and tourism operators around Urangan and the marina, who often search from somewhere else entirely and judge you almost completely on your website because they cannot drive past your ute.

That second group is the reason a real website matters more here than in an average regional town. If your only presence is a Facebook page, an owner in Brisbane organising a repair on a Urangan unit has nothing to assess, so they keep scrolling.

Trades and service businesses I build for here

Most Fraser Coast enquiries come from trades: plumbers and electricians covering Hervey Bay through to Maryborough, builders and carpenters working on renovations and decks, cleaners servicing holiday lettings and bond cleans, plus landscapers, concreters, painters and air-conditioning installers. Marine, tourism and allied health businesses around the Esplanade and the marina follow close behind.

Your pages are written around that work, not around a generic town description. Service pages cover the jobs you want more of, a service-area section names the suburbs and towns you genuinely travel to, and the enquiry path stays short so a phone visitor can call or message in one tap.

Seasonality is built in, not ignored

Whale season and the school holidays change what Fraser Coast businesses need to say. The monthly update included in the $45 per week is where that lives: change a service, add finished-job photos, update opening details before a busy period, or put a seasonal offer on the front page without paying a developer each time.

Mike, the web designer who builds every Web Guy Mike website

Who builds it

Built by Mike. Not Outsourced.

I'm Mike. I design and build every website myself from the Gold Coast - no agency, no offshore team, no account managers. The person you talk to is the person doing the work.

I've worked with some of the world's leading marketing companies, which taught me plenty about what actually works online and what is just expensive noise. That's the thinking that goes into every small business website I build.

Straight answer

How Can I Offer This for $45 a Week?

There is no large agency or sales team sitting between you and the person building your website. You deal directly with Mike, start to finish.

The build process is streamlined and the package is focused, so the money goes into the website rather than the overhead around it. These are properly built, professional websites - the model is simply leaner.

Built With Strong SEO Foundations

Every small business website is built so Google can crawl it, read it and understand what your business does and where it works. Nobody legitimate can promise a position in the results, so I won't - but the foundations are done properly on every build.

For businesses wanting to invest further in organic Google visibility, tailored SEO services are also available.

  • Clear page structure
  • Dedicated service pages
  • Page titles written for real searches
  • Metadata on every page
  • Sensible heading structure
  • Internal linking between pages
  • Mobile-friendly layouts
  • Search-friendly content structure

Why it matters

Look Better Than Your Competitors

Customers rarely contact the first business they find. They open a few, compare what they see, and rule out the ones that look unfinished or hard to deal with.

A better website can make your business look like a much bigger business.
