Our Motorcycle retail business was advertising predominantly with TV until Ryan convinced us to try another way. Ryan has increased our turn over and profitability and we have never looked back. Web site traffic up, Social Media traffic up, showroom traffic up, phone sales up, Profit up. All whilst spending less than we used to. Digital Nectar has been a great decision for our business.

Frequently asked questions about automotive website design

What makes automotive website design different from regular web design?

Automotive website design is built around specific dealership needs: inventory management, vehicle search filters, finance enquiry forms, trade-in tools and multi-location support.

A regular web designer can build you a pretty site, but an automotive specialist builds one that actually sells vehicles.

How long does it take to design and build a dealership website?

A typical dealership website takes 6-12 weeks from start to launch. Furthermore, this depends on the size of your inventory, the features you need and how quickly you can provide content and feedback. We give you a clear timeline at the start so there are no surprises.

How much does an automotive website cost?

Pricing depends on the features, integrations and number of locations you need. Contact us for a custom quote and we’ll tailor a solution that fits your dealership’s goals and budget.

Will my new website work on mobile phones?

Yes. Every dealership website we build is mobile-first, meaning it’s designed for phones first and scaled up to desktops. Over 60% of vehicle research happens on mobile, so this is non-negotiable.

Can you integrate my existing inventory feed?

Yes. We integrate with most major automotive inventory platforms including AutoGate, iMotor and other feeds. Your stock will update automatically on your website without manual work.

Do you provide hosting and support after launch?

Yes. We offer hosting, security updates, content changes and ongoing support packages. Additionally, your website needs regular maintenance to stay secure and fast and we handle all of it.

Will my new website be SEO-friendly?

Absolutely. Every site we build includes SEO foundations to ensure fast load times, mobile optimisation, clean code, proper heading structure and schema markup. This gives your site the best chance of ranking on Google from day one.

Can you redesign my existing dealership website?

Yes. We redesign existing dealership websites and migrate your content, inventory and SEO authority to the new site. Your existing rankings are preserved and improved during the redesign process.

What platform do you build dealership websites on?

We build on WordPress with custom automotive integrations. WordPress is flexible, easy to manage and works with every inventory feed and marketing tool you’ll need.

Can my staff update the website themselves?

Yes. We build your site so non-technical staff can update content, add posts, change images and manage promotions. We also provide training and a guide document so your team feels confident from day one.

Where do you offer automotive website design services?

We’re based in Adelaide, but we build websites for dealerships across Australia. Whether you’re in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra or regional areas, we can help. Our design and development process is fully remote, so location is no barrier.

What types of dealerships do you work with?

We work with car dealerships, caravan and RV dealers, motorcycle dealerships, truck dealers and even heavy machinery. Each industry has different needs, and we tailor every website to match how your customers actually shop.

Do you build multi-location dealership websites?

Yes. Multi-location dealerships need a website that handles separate inventories, locations, contact details and staff for each branch. We build this structure into your site so each location performs well in local search.

How important is page speed for a dealership website?

Critical. Google research shows that 53% of mobile users abandon a site that takes longer than 3 seconds to load. A slow dealership website frustrates customers, costs you leads and hurts your Google ranking.

Will my website integrate with my CRM?

Yes. We integrate your website with your CRM so every enquiry, test drive booking and contact form submission flows directly into your sales pipeline. No leads get lost in inboxes.

We can also help you set up your CRM with our own solution if you don’t have one already.

Can you add finance calculators and trade-in tools?

Yes. Finance calculators, trade-in valuation tools, test drive bookings and online deposit features are common additions we build for dealerships. These tools turn casual browsers into qualified leads.

What happens if I want to add features later?

Your website is built to grow with your dealership. Therefore, we can add features, integrations and pages whenever you need them. You’re not locked into a static design.

Do you provide content and copywriting?

Yes. Many dealerships need help writing website content. We offer copywriting services that explain your dealership clearly and persuade visitors to take action.

Why is my current dealership website not getting leads?

Common reasons include slow load times, poor mobile experience, unclear call-to-actions, weak SEO, outdated design or no lead capture forms. We audit your situation, identify the gaps and rebuild your site to fix them.
