A website refresh and instant cost calculator for ABDR

Australian Boardwalk and Deck Restorations (ABDR) is a family owned deck and boardwalk business with more than 30 years of experience across South East Queensland. We refreshed their website and built an instant estimate calculator, so homeowners can measure their deck, see a price straight away, and send ABDR a lead with the job details already filled in.

The question every customer asks first

Almost every deck enquiry starts the same way: how much will this cost? Without a rough number, homeowners either put it off or ring around for quotes, and every one of those conversations starts from scratch.

Collin wanted to stop the tyre kickers, so he wasn't spending his days driving around quoting jobs that were never going to go ahead.

What we built

A refreshed website

Clear pages for deck sanding and resurfacing, deck restoration, repairs and maintenance, boardwalk construction and extensions, and ModWood composite work, backed by more than 30 years of experience.

An instant estimate calculator

Homeowners measure their deck, multiply length by width to get square metres, choose what needs doing, and see an estimate straight away, excluding GST. A 10% discount on sanding jobs over 100 square metres is built in.

Leads that arrive ready to quote

To see their estimate, people enter their name, phone, email, postcode and any notes. Every estimate lands in a lead log with the deck size, the service and the price shown, so ABDR can call back already knowing the job.

What changed

Homeowners get a real number before they pick up the phone, and every enquiry reaches ABDR with the deck size, the service and the estimate already attached.

Since the calculator went live, the number of quotes that go nowhere has dropped by around 30%.

The result

30%

fewer quotes that go nowhere, since the instant quote calculator went live

  • A ballpark price before they call
  • Deck size and service in every enquiry
  • Less time driving out to quote
