Tree work has a trust problem that other trades do not: the customer is letting someone drop a large heavy thing near their house, and they have usually just had a bloke with a ute and a chainsaw knock on the door offering to do it cheap.
Your website's whole job is to look like the other kind of business. Qualified, insured, and clear about the rules.
Public liability cover with the actual figure, your qualifications, and how long you have been doing it. This is the first thing a careful customer checks and the first thing a door knocker cannot match. Leaving it off the page is leaving money on the table.
South Australia has rules about regulated and significant trees, and most homeowners have no idea whether the tree in their backyard is covered or what they are allowed to do to it. A page that explains it in plain English, and offers to handle the paperwork, gets found by people searching that exact question and positions you as the one who knows.
Tree work photographs better than almost any other trade. A big gum next to a roof, then a clean site with the lawn raked. Group them by the type of job so someone with a palm, a stump or a storm-damaged limb can find the version of their own problem.
Nobody can describe a tree accurately. Ask for a photo, roughly how tall, and how close to the house, and you can price or triage most jobs without a site visit. After a storm, when everyone rings at once, that is the difference between a full week and a chaotic one.

Yes, and it should be built expecting it. A page loads the same whether one person or five hundred are on it, so the failure point is not the hosting, it is you. What helps is a form that gathers enough to triage, an honest line about current wait times that you can change in a day, and an obvious split between emergency and routine work.
I write the first draft, you correct it. I am not an arborist and I am not going to publish planning advice under your name that you have not read. That is how every page on a client site gets written here: I do the heavy lifting, you keep the final say on anything factual.
$199 to set up, then $59 a month. The monthly covers hosting, the domain, security, backups, content updates when you need them, and me picking up the phone. There is no separate bill for small changes. The monthly runs on a 12-month minimum term, then month to month: $199 does not come close to covering a bespoke build, so the rest of it is spread across the first year rather than charged up front.
