COMPARISON · 2026
We're one of the companies on this page, so read it with that in mind. What we've done to earn your trust anyway is stick to what each company publishes on its own site, date it, and say plainly where someone else is the better call.

How we did this. Every figure below comes from the company's own public website, checked in August 2026. Where a company doesn't publish something, we've written "not stated" rather than guessing. We had some of these details wrong on our own homepage until August 2026 and corrected them — the details are on our statistics page. If we've misrepresented your company, email us and we'll fix it.
| Company | Published price | Pages | Copywriting | SEO setup | Turnaround | Enquiry guarantee |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ahoy Studio | NZ$3,395 + GST | 3 | Included | Included | Not stated | None stated |
| Trades Online | NZ$1,500–$3,000 + GST (Basic) NZ$3,000–$6,000 (Growth) | 3–5 5–10 |
Included | Included | 4–6 weeks | None stated |
| Tradie Design | Quote only | Not stated | Not stated | Not stated | Not stated | None stated |
| WFT (us) | NZ$1,997 flat | 5+ | Included | Included | 7 working days | Jobs In 90 — rebuild free |
Prices exclude GST where the company's site states so. Ours is GST-inclusive. Ongoing hosting is separate for most providers — Ahoy Studio, for example, publishes hosting at NZ$450 + GST per year paid to Rocketspark, plus NZ$35 + GST for the domain.
A design-led studio with genuinely good-looking work, building on the Rocketspark platform. Copywriting and Google setup are included, and the price is published openly — which is rarer than it should be in this industry.
Best for: a tradie who cares about design quality and wants a small, sharp three-page site. Worth knowing: at NZ$3,395 + GST for three pages it's the highest published per-page price here, and hosting is an additional annual cost paid to a third party.
The most complete published pricing structure of anyone in this space — three tiers, clear page counts, honest about the range. Copywriting and SEO are included across packages, and they're upfront that final pricing depends on scope.
Best for: a tradie who wants tiers to choose between, or who needs more than five pages and expects to grow into a bigger site. Worth knowing: 4–6 weeks is a longer build than some, and the ranges are wide enough that you'll need a conversation to land on a number.
A broader creative outfit doing website design alongside branding, print and advertising — so a good option if you want your signage, vehicle livery and website to match.
Best for: a tradie who wants branding and website handled together by one shop. Worth knowing: nothing is published on price, turnaround or inclusions, so you'll need to ring to find out. That's a normal way to run an agency, but it does make comparison harder.
Flat NZ$1,997, five or more pages, live in 7 working days, copywriting and local SEO included, and the only enquiry guarantee we're aware of in this market: no genuine job enquiry within 90 days and we rebuild it free.
Best for: a tradie who wants it done fast, at a known price, with someone carrying part of the risk. Worth knowing, honestly:
Strip out the marketing and there are four real variables:
That last one is worth asking everywhere, including us. Most answers will be some version of "nothing" — which is standard, and worth knowing before you sign rather than after.
There's an unrelated Australian business operating as "Websites For Tradies" at a .net.au address. No connection to us. We're the New Zealand one, at websitesfortradies.co.nz, and we only build for New Zealand trade businesses.

Book a kickoff call. If we're not — if you need bespoke functionality, or you'd rather work with someone who has ten years of examples — we'll say so on the call and point you at whoever fits better.
