Atherton Tablelands

One region, a dozen towns

Most Tablelands businesses still have no proper website. The ones that fix it first get the calls.

Towns Bernie covers on the Tablelands

The Tablelands is a lot of towns, and each one searches differently

Someone in Malanda searching for a plumber does not search the same way as someone in Mareeba. Bernie builds each site so it targets the towns your customers actually live in, not a generic Far North Queensland page that suits nobody.

Atherton and the southern Tablelands

Atherton is the biggest town up here and the one most people search by name, so it is usually the anchor for a Tablelands site.
Malanda, Yungaburra, Herberton, Millaa Millaa and Ravenshoe all feed into the same trading area.
A site built around Atherton can pick up work from every one of those towns without needing a separate page for each.

Mareeba and the northern Tablelands

Mareeba is the gateway between Cairns and the Tablelands, and a lot of businesses there serve both.
Tolga, Kuranda, Dimbulah and Chillagoe sit in the same run and search for the same trades and services.
If your work crosses the range, your site needs to say so plainly or Google will only show you to one side of it.

Online shops and produce businesses

Plenty of Tablelands businesses sell something worth shipping, whether that is coffee, cheese, produce or handmade goods.
An online shop lets a Tablelands business sell past the range without opening a second shopfront.
Bernie can build a simple online shop that you can run yourself, without needing to ring anyone to change a price.

Why the Tablelands is different

Up here the gap between businesses online is still wide open

Far fewer businesses have sorted their website

In Cairns every trade has three competitors fighting over the same search. On the Tablelands most businesses still have nothing, or a page somebody built years ago that has never been touched since. A properly built site can get in front of local customers much faster up here than it ever could in town.

People search by town, not by region

Almost nobody types web design Far North Queensland. They type the name of their own town. That is why Bernie builds the town names into the site properly rather than hoping a generic regional page catches them.

Website design and web design are both worth covering

Some people search web design, others search website design, and plenty type it as one word. They are all looking for exactly the same thing, so a site that only ever uses one of those phrasings quietly misses part of its own market.

Distance is not a problem

Bernie works with Tablelands businesses over the phone. You do not have to drive down the range and Bernie does not have to drive up it. Everything gets sorted on a call, and you deal with Bernie every time, not a junior.

How it works from up on the range

One phone call, and you talk to the bloke who builds it

Ring 0455 836 000 between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday and you get Bernie. No receptionist, no booking form, no chatbot.

Bernie will ask what your business does, who you want ringing you, and which towns you actually work in. Then he will tell you what he would build and what it would cost, before you spend anything.

There are no contracts. You own the domain, the hosting and every file. If you ever want to take it elsewhere, Bernie hands the lot over without a fuss.

Common questions

What Tablelands businesses ask before they get in touch

Straight answers, no runaround, no jargon.

Do you do web design for the Atherton Tablelands, or only Cairns?

Both. Bernie works right across the Tablelands including Atherton, Mareeba, Malanda, Yungaburra, Herberton, Ravenshoe, Tolga and Kuranda, as well as Cairns and the coast. Everything is handled over the phone, so where you are on the range makes no difference.

Is website design for the Tablelands any different to Cairns?

The build is the same quality, but the wording is not. A Tablelands site needs the town names written into it properly so Google knows you serve Atherton or Mareeba rather than just somewhere in Far North Queensland. Get that wrong and you end up showing to the wrong side of the range.

Can you build an online shop for a Tablelands business?

Yes. Plenty of businesses up here sell produce, coffee, cheese or handmade goods that are well worth shipping. Bernie builds simple online shops you can run yourself, so you are not ringing anyone every time you want to change a price. Have a look at the retail and online shop page for what that involves.

How long before a Tablelands business starts showing up on Google?

Usually 60 to 90 days for a properly built site, and often quicker up here than in Cairns because there is less competition. Bernie will give you an honest timeline on the call rather than promising overnight results.

Which towns do you actually cover?

Atherton, Mareeba, Malanda, Yungaburra, Herberton, Ravenshoe, Tolga, Millaa Millaa, Kuranda and the smaller places in between. If your town is not on that list, ring anyway. Bernie works across all of Far North Queensland, so have a look at the full list of areas covered.
