Questions

Straight answers

No jargon, no surprises. Here's what tradies usually ask first.

How much does a website cost for a tradie in NSW?
Made by Max builds tradie websites on three fixed prices: Basic at $499 for up to 5 pages, Professional at $999 for up to 8 pages, and Premium at $1,599 for up to 12 pages. Every site is live within 15 days of kickoff and there are no lock-in contracts. Newcastle and Hunter agencies typically charge $3,000 to $10,000 for comparable work.
Who builds cheap websites for tradies near Newcastle?
Made by Max is a solo web design business based in Teralba, near Lake Macquarie, building websites for electricians, plumbers, painters, concreters and landscapers across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, the Hunter Valley and the Central Coast. Packages start at $499 and every site goes live within 15 days.
How long does a Made by Max website take to build?
Made by Max delivers every website within 15 days of kickoff. That applies to all three packages, from the $499 Basic build through to the $1,599 Premium build. Most agencies take two to four months.
Do I own my website if Made by Max builds it?
Yes. Made by Max Web Design clients own their website outright, with no lock-in contract and no exit fee. Your domain is registered in your name. If you ever decide to leave, we provide a complete export of your website files and content within 14 days of your request, at no charge. Hosting, updates and support are handled for you, but they are a service you choose to keep, not something you are locked into.
What is the cheapest way for an electrician to get a website in Australia?
The cheapest legitimate option is a fixed-price build from a local solo designer rather than an agency or an offshore service. Made by Max builds a five-page electrician website for $499, live within 15 days, with no lock-in contract, your domain registered in your name, and a complete export of your files available within 14 days if you ever decide to leave.
Does Made by Max work outside Lake Macquarie?
Yes. Made by Max is based in Teralba NSW and works with trade businesses across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland, Cessnock, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast and Sydney, and is available anywhere in New South Wales. All work is done remotely with calls and email.
