Real
Multi-page static structure, category explainers, service-area intent, privacy stance, waitlist UX that stays local, and honest “coming soon” framing.
About
Urgent Trades AU is a concept prototype for a local, honest directory of after-hours / emergency trade services — starting with Central Coast NSW and Sydney.
Why this exists
When something breaks at 11pm, people search for plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, or roofers. Many results are ads, thin affiliates, or scraped numbers. This project explores a cleaner alternative: opt-in listings, clear service areas, and no invented ratings.
Who it’s for
- Residents and small businesses on the Central Coast / Sydney who need urgent trade help later
- Licensed tradies who want after-hours visibility without spammy lead-selling
- Pat (AU) reviewing structure before any public deploy
What’s real vs fake on this site
Fake / placeholder
All listing cards marked PLACEHOLDER. No company names to call, no star ratings, no phone numbers, no ABNs. Do not treat them as businesses.
Status
Not publicly deployed. Publishing (e.g. Cloudflare Pages) requires Pat’s explicit approval. See README.md in the project folder for next steps.
