Client spotlight

22 Electrical Works

Josh runs a small licensed electrical team out of Melbourne's east. I moved him off a rented platform onto a real 28 page website on his own domain, where the proof of the work comes straight out of the system he already runs the business on.

A three step quote form on the hero that captures the job type in about 30 seconds
A job feed showing real completed work, with the photo, the suburb and the date
Job, customer and suburb counters read live and rounded down, so they always hold up
A page for each of six services and each of the 14 suburbs he actually works
Every claim pulled back to what is true, no round the clock promise, no invented response times

Tim McCartney · Founder, Scalus

15+ years in marketing
1 billion+ video views
Masters of Media & Communications
Based in Melbourne

I started Scalus after more than 15 years in professional video production. I kept making videos for clients that never reached their potential, because there was nowhere solid to put them. No proper website, nothing published, so good work quietly disappeared. So now I build the website first. Get that foundation right, and content and advertising finally have somewhere to land.

Plans

Month to month. No lock in.

One plan, one price. The website built, hosted, kept live and looked after, for $225 a month. No contracts, no setup fees, and the price includes GST.

Questions, answered

How fast can I be live?

Four days. Demo call on day one, I build on days two and three, launch call on day four. That's it.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Everything is month to month, and your price is locked in forever, it never goes up while you're a client.

What does it cost?

$225 a month, and that is the whole thing: the website built, hosted and kept live, the SEO and AI search work, the Google review system and every ongoing change you ask for. Month to month, no build fee, no lock in, and the price includes GST.

Who builds and supports it?

Scalus is Melbourne based, founded by Tim in 2011 with a background in video production and a Masters from Swinburne. You get local support from the people who built your system.

Will I have editor access to the website?

Not directly, but any changes you need are generally completed within 4 days. Just submit your changes via email and I'll get it done.
