The common ground

What every industry website needs

The details change from a plumber to a physio, but the foundations do not. Get these six right first.

Say what you do on the first screen

Visitors decide in seconds whether they are in the right place. Lead with what you do, who it is for and where you work, in plain words, before any slogan.

Show proof, not promises

Real photos of your work, genuine reviews and any licences or qualifications build trust faster than adjectives do.

Make the next step obvious

A tap-to-call button, a booking link or a short quote form, repeated wherever a visitor is ready to act.

Be easy to find locally

Say which suburbs or regions you serve, keep your Google Business Profile consistent with your site, and give each important service its own page.

Load fast on a phone

Many customers will meet you on a mobile while they are doing something else. Heavy images and slow scripts cost you enquiries.

Work for everyone

Clear contrast, readable text and forms that work with a keyboard or screen reader stop more customers giving up.

How does your website measure up?

Our free website health check scores your site out of 100 and lists what to fix first. Not sure what a term means? The glossary explains it in plain English.

Questions

About industry website guides

Do you build websites for my type of business?
Yes. WebDevise designs and builds custom websites for Australian businesses in many industries. Our portfolio includes security, health and wellness, education technology, pet care and community sport. If your industry is not listed on this page, the same principles still apply, and you can talk it through with us on a 15-minute discovery call.
Does my industry change the price?
No. Plans are priced by the size of the website, not the industry: Core is $99/month for a 3-page site, Plus is $129/month for a 5-page site, Max is $199/month for a 10-page site. Prices are quoted excluding GST. The design and build are included with a hosting plan, with no upfront fee.
Are these guides legal or compliance advice?
No. They are general website and marketing guidance for small businesses. Some industries, including regulated health services, financial services and licensed trades, have their own advertising and disclosure rules. Check with your industry body or regulator before you publish claims, testimonials or prices.
My industry is not listed. What should I read?
Try the search box with a related word, then browse the "Goals for any business" guides, which cover what almost every local business needs: capturing leads, taking bookings, building a brand and keeping customers. You can also ask us about your business directly.
How do I know if my current website is doing its job?
Take our free website health check. It scores your site out of 100 across speed, search, trust, accessibility and security, then lists what to fix first in order of impact.
