Sample sites
Four renovation businesses, four different websites
A kitchen renovator, a bathroom renovator, a joinery workshop and a whole-home renovator sell in different ways, so their sites are built differently. Each sample is a complete website you can open and click through, for a business that doesn’t exist.
Built around how the business sells, not a template
A design-led kitchen business needs a browsing couple to book a consult. A bathroom renovator needs a worried owner to trust the waterproofing. A joinery workshop needs homeowners and builders to find two different front doors. A renovator doing several rooms needs each room priced and shown. Each sample below shows the layout we would use for that kind of business, and the reason behind every choice.
On your site, the stock photos become photos of your own finished rooms, the words come from you, and the licence line shows your real licence details. The samples are not templates you pick from: the page structure follows how your business sells, which we work out on the first call. Business names, suburbs and project descriptions on this page are invented for illustration.
Sample design, fictional business
Wattle & Grain Kitchens
A kitchen business that sells design-led kitchens to owners in one part of a city. The site is built to turn a browsing couple into a booked design consult.
Open the sample site Every page works. Try it on your phone.
What this layout does
- A bold split first screen
- Half dark, half kitchen photo, with one headline and one button: “Book a design consult”.
- Four kitchen layouts up front
- Island, galley and L-shape, butler’s pantries and joinery each get a tall photo card, so a buyer picks their room first.
- A journal that answers real questions
- Articles on island sizing, benchtop materials and what a kitchen costs in Melbourne, the questions buyers search before they call.
- The process next to the form
- The four steps of a kitchen job sit beside the consult form, answering “what happens after I send this?”

Sample design, fictional business
Tidewater Bathrooms
A bathroom renovator whose buyers worry about leaks and disruption. The site leads with the waterproofing story and keeps each bathroom type separate.
Open the sample site Every page works. Try it on your phone.
What this layout does
- Service area and licence in the top strip
- The two things a Queensland buyer checks first sit above everything else on every page.
- Three bathroom types, three paths
- Ensuites, main bathrooms and accessible bathrooms each lead to their own section and projects.
- The job order, with waterproofing highlighted
- Five plain steps show where the membrane goes in, which is the part owners never see.
- Project pages with progress tags
- Tags show which projects include progress photos, for buyers who want to see the work behind the tiles.

Kestrel Lane Joinery
A workshop that sells custom joinery to homeowners and made-to-drawing joinery to builders. The site splits the two audiences from the first click.
Open the sample site Every page works. Try it on your phone.
What this layout does
- Two doors in the navigation
- “For homeowners” and “For builders and designers” replace a generic menu, so each visitor reads only what applies.
- Materials as swatches
- Veneers, finishes and hardware are shown as a row of samples, the way a showroom would lay them out.
- A trade panel that asks for plans
- Builders see the three things they care about and a “Send plans” button, not a colour consult.
- Detail over wide shots
- Imagery leads with the joinery itself rather than whole rooms, which is where a workshop’s skill shows.
Page structure
- Home
- For homeowners (kitchens, wardrobes, vanities and laundries)
- For builders and designers
- Materials and finishes

Redgum Renovations
A renovator doing kitchens, bathrooms and laundries across one city. The site is calm and photo-led, and walks a buyer from the rooms to the process to a quote.
Open the sample site Every page works. Try it on your phone.
What this layout does
- Room pages with prices
- Kitchens, bathrooms and laundries each get a page with “from” prices, marked as indicative until a site measure.
- The process in four steps
- Free site measure, fixed written quote, the build, then walkthrough and handover, in a row so a buyer knows what happens and when.
- Before and after, side by side
- A drag slider puts a room mid-renovation against a finished one, so buyers see the work behind it.
- Projects with suburb and duration
- Each project card says where it was and how many weeks it took, the two things a buyer asks first.

One business, two very different websites
One fictional kitchen business, on the kind of site many renovators still have and on its sample design. Move the divide. The older site says “welcome”, hides the licence, sends buyers to Facebook and offers a gallery link instead of described projects. The sample says what the business does and where, shows the licence under the navigation and asks for one clear next step.
See your own business laid out like this
On a call we sketch the page structure for your business and point to the sample closest to it. Your site is then built from your own photos, your own words and your real licence details.
Nothing until launch, then A$249 a month plus the A$499 build fee, GST may apply. 12-month minimum term.
