Overview

A lead generation website for a Brisbane roofing business. Custom WordPress theme, no page builder.

Built around one job: turn a homeowner who has noticed a stain on the ceiling into a quote request.

The problem

What was in the way

Roof restoration is a deferred purchase. Nobody wants one. The homeowner knows there is a problem and hopes it waits another year.

That changes what the site has to do. Listing services politely does not work. The page has to make the cost of waiting concrete, and it has to take the enquiry before the visitor talks themselves out of it.

Most of this traffic arrives on a phone, from a local search, with low patience.

What I built

Six parts, each with a reason

Cost of waiting as the lead message

The page opens with the replacement figure, not the restoration price. A restoration quote reads as an expense on its own. Next to a full replacement it reads as the cheaper of two options. That is the entire framing decision and everything else follows it.

Service radius map

Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast, drawn on the page. It answers the are-you-near-me question without an enquiry, which removes the most common wasted call in both directions.

Quote form above the fold

The form is the first thing in reach on mobile. No scrolling to find it, no hunting for a phone number in a header. Fields are kept to what is needed to price or triage: name, contact, suburb, and what the problem looks like.

Recent jobs as a photo grid

Real roofs, photographed on the job. No stock imagery. In trades, a picture of finished work outperforms any amount of written copy, and a stock photo actively costs trust because homeowners recognise them.

Four trust signals, stated plainly

Fourteen-plus years trading, a ten-year warranty, fully insured, 24 hour quote turnaround. Trades buyers scan for exactly these and leave when they are missing. They sit near the form rather than on an about page nobody reaches.

FAQ built from real objections

Why restore instead of replace. What the warranty actually covers. Which paint brand. How insurance jobs are handled. These are the questions asked on the phone, so they belong on the page.

How it was built

The engineering underneath

No page builderCustom WordPress theme in PHP, because the site has to be fast on a phone on mobile data
Inbox as CRMForms post directly to the owner rather than collecting in a plugin dashboard
ConventionalEvery dependency added is a thing that breaks in eighteen months

Custom WordPress theme in PHP. No page builder, deliberately. Page builders add weight to every request and produce markup nobody can maintain, and this site has to be fast on a phone on mobile data in an outer suburb.

Forms post directly to the owner rather than collecting in a plugin dashboard. A lead sitting unread in an admin area is a lost job, and for a business this size the inbox is the CRM.

Dark, high-contrast design. Trades sites that imitate corporate SaaS look wrong to the audience and convert worse.

WordPress with a custom PHP theme, custom form handling, and a static service-area map. MySQL underneath. Hand-written templates and CSS, no builder, no framework.

The build is intentionally conventional. A roofing business needs a site that keeps working when nobody is maintaining it, and every dependency added is a thing that breaks in eighteen months.

Why it matters for your project

I build software, and I measure whether it works.

The same questions I research are the ones I ask on client builds: is it reliable, is it fast, is it easy to use, and is it secure. Those four drove satisfaction in my ICT portal study, and they shape how I scope and test every project.
