Cairns is searched by visitors from everywhere, and by the people who live here

Cairns lives on visitors: the reef, the Daintree, Kuranda, the Esplanade and the lagoon, and the resorts along the northern beaches at Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. Most of those visitors plan on their phones, often the night before, and they book the places that come up and look open.

Underneath the tourism is a working city of around 170,000 people with the hospital, James Cook University at Smithfield, the port and the airport, sugar cane and farming on the Tablelands, and the usual trades, cafés and clinics in Edge Hill, Redlynch, Smithfield, Earlville and Gordonvale. Those businesses live on locals, and locals search too.

What goes on a Cairns business website

Bookings, seasons and the wet

For tours, hire and stays, a booking link or enquiry form, your seasons, and plain answers to the questions visitors ask, including what happens in the wet season. For cafés and shops, hours that are right on a long weekend.

The suburbs and the beaches, by name

Locals search “plumber Redlynch”, “café Edge Hill” or “physio Smithfield”. Naming Edge Hill, Redlynch, Smithfield, Trinity Beach, Palm Cove, Earlville, Mount Sheridan, Gordonvale, Kuranda and Mareeba tells them, and tells Google.

One tap to call, book or find you

A visitor looking for dinner on the Esplanade or a resident with a dead air conditioner in January is on their phone. Call, booking and map buttons stay in reach on every screen.

Your Google Business Profile, matched to the site

Visitors see your Maps listing first. We check hours, categories, service area and photos agree with the site, and link your reviews.

Photos of your actual place and jobs

Your boat, your bikes, your workshop, your counter. Real Cairns photos, not stock reef.

Who we build for in Cairns

  • Tours and activities

    Reef trips, rainforest tours, fishing charters, dive schools and hire businesses that need bookings, seasons and a map that works for visitors.

  • Stays

    Small resorts, holiday apartments and B&Bs on the northern beaches and in the city that want direct bookings instead of paying a cut on every one.

  • Cafés, bars and food

    The Esplanade, Grafton Street, Edge Hill, Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. A menu, the hours, a map pin and photos that look like the place.

  • Tradies

    Builders, sparkies, plumbers, air-con installers, painters and roofers working across Cairns and the beaches, with the areas you cover named.

  • Rural and Tablelands services

    Contractors, machinery, fencing and farm services serving the cane and the Tablelands farms, with districts named plainly.

  • Health and clinics

    Physios, dentists, GPs and allied health near the hospital and in the suburbs, with booking and Medicare details made plain.

Across Cairns, the beaches and the Tablelands

We serve businesses across Cairns, Edge Hill, Redlynch, Smithfield, Trinity Beach, Palm Cove, Earlville, Gordonvale, Kuranda, Mareeba, Atherton, Port Douglas and Innisfail.

We are not based in Cairns. Everything happens by email, which suits a skipper between trips or a sparky on a Redlynch site. Trade business? See what goes on a tradie site. Café? Here is what a café site needs.

Questions we get asked

Anything else? Email us and you’ll hear back within 24 hours.

How much does a website cost in Cairns?

Our prices are the same across Australia: A$1,490 for a one-page Essentials site, A$2,490 for Business (up to 6 pages, copywriting, booking or enquiry set-up) and A$3,490 for Growth (up to 12 pages). All one-off. The optional care plan is A$49 a month. Business suits most tour operators, since it includes the booking set-up.

Do you have an office in Cairns?

No. We serve Cairns businesses by email and we do not have an office there. We work the same way for businesses across Far North Queensland. You get a link to your homepage design, reply with changes when you have a minute, and approve the wording before anything goes live.

How long does it take?

Your homepage design arrives within 24 hours of your go-ahead, and the finished site goes live within 72 hours if you reply quickly to the two rounds of changes. Timings run on your clock in Cairns, by email, so there is no waiting for a meeting slot.

Can the site take bookings directly?

Yes. The Business package includes a booking or enquiry set-up. If you already use a booking system, we link it so the site and the system agree on availability.

We already get bookings through the big travel sites. Why a website?

The travel sites take a cut on every booking and show your competitors beside you. A site of your own gives visitors who found you on Maps or a recommendation a direct way to book, and it is where your reviews and photos live.

My business serves locals, not tourists. Does this still apply?

Yes. Locals search “electrician Cairns” or “physio Smithfield” the same way. The page names the suburbs you cover and your Google listing backs it up.
