Website rebuild
Riverview Shutters
Plantation shutters, Perth and Mandurah
The site ran on a page builder and a heavy premium theme. Too much JavaScript loaded at once, so no amount of tweaking could get PageSpeed where it needed to be.
What we didStop bleeding clients from your outdated, slow website.
Tradegate is the connection between trade and service businesses and their clients. We rebuild slow, tired websites into fast ones that win jobs, then build the software that runs the business behind them. Designed, built and supported in Perth. Nothing sent offshore.
Google's good line
Your website is the first quote you lose.
People decide before they call
A customer looking for a tradie opens three sites on their phone. The one that loads first and looks sharp gets the call. The others never find out why.
Google notices too
Page speed and Core Web Vitals feed into how Google ranks pages. A slow site sinks in search while faster competitors take the clicks.
Page builders are the usual culprit
Heavy themes, stacked plugins and drag and drop builders load megabytes of code before your content appears. We strip that out or rebuild it lean.
Websites up front. Systems out the back.

Systems that run million dollar businesses.
Spreadsheets and paper dockets stop working once a business grows. We build the software that takes over: built around how your team actually works, owned by you, supported by us.
Warehouse inventory, end to end
- Docket scannedThe delivery docket is scanned at the dock. No retyping.
- Checked inStock is checked against the purchase order. Shorts and damage flagged on the spot.
- Put awayEvery item gets a shelf location, so anyone can find it.
- Picked and packedOrders become pick lists in walking order.
- DispatchedStock is booked out, levels update and the customer gets tracking.
Supplier ordering portals
For businesses supplying stock across the country. Trade customers log in, see their own pricing and stock levels, reorder in a few taps and track delivery. Orders flow straight into your warehouse and accounts.
Quoting, ordering and invoicing
Custom platforms that take a job from quote to order to drawings to invoice. We've rebuilt one that an offshore team couldn't get working.
AI that reads the paperwork
Invoices recognised and posted straight into Xero. Weeks of court transcripts categorised and quoted with citations. Run on your own hardware when the data can't leave the building.
Built here. Supported here.
Plenty of agencies sell you a local face and ship the work overseas. We don't. Every line of code is written in Australia by the people you talk to.
- No offshore anything
- Design, development and support all done here. Not resold, not subcontracted.
- Talk to the builder
- You deal directly with the person building your site. No account managers, no ticket queue.
- You own it
- Code, domain, hosting and logins are yours. No lock in contracts.
- Support after launch
- Updates, fixes and new features on Australian business hours. We pick up the phone.
The gate between you and your clients.
Your website is how clients find you and decide to call. Your systems are how you quote, deliver and get paid. We build both, so the connection between your business and your clients never breaks.
We come from the tools, not a marketing agency. We know how a quote turns into a job, and how a job turns into an invoice.

Recent work
All case studiesCustom software
Client and invoice platform
Accounting firm
Staff were keying client invoices into Xero by hand. Every bill was read, typed in and checked, across every client the firm looks after.
What we didCustom software
Private transcript AI
Legal practice
Court transcripts run for days, sometimes weeks. Staff spent countless hours reading them to find who said what and where. Sending them to a cloud AI service wasn't an option for client privacy.
What we didStraight answers
Anything else, call 0448 864 761.
How much does a website cost?
Every job is quoted. A speed fix on an existing site costs a lot less than a full rebuild, and a custom system is priced on scope. Run the free audit or call us and you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Can you speed up my site without rebuilding it?
Often, yes. Image compression, caching, removing unused plugins and scripts, and better hosting can make a big difference. If your theme or page builder is the bottleneck we'll tell you straight and quote a rebuild instead.
Will I lose my Google rankings in a rebuild?
Not if it's done properly. We keep your URLs, page titles, content and redirects, and we check rankings and Search Console after launch.
Do you host websites?
Yes. We offer website hosting and managed WordPress. Updates, backups and security are handled for you, and you get your own Plesk dashboard to see your site, email, domains and backups any time. Hosting is quoted with your build, or on its own if you just want to move an existing site.
Is anything outsourced overseas?
No. Design, development, hosting setup and support are all done here in Australia. You deal with the person building your site.
Is AI safe to use on confidential documents?
It can be. For legal, accounting and other sensitive work we build AI systems that run entirely on your own hardware, in your office. Nothing is sent to a cloud AI service, so client data stays private.
Who owns the website or software?
You do. You get the code, the domain and the admin logins. No lock in contracts.
Do you only work with trades?
Trades and service businesses are our bread and butter, but we also build stock, ordering and quoting systems for wholesalers and suppliers who ship Australia wide.
