Newest first. Every entry carries its date. This page records what has actually changed, so you can see how the thing has moved rather than take our word for it.
Nine screens, and the detail behind a tap
The page was too long to read on a phone in daylight, so the weight moved rather than the words went. Six stops now run from the first ring to the tax done, one line each, and every stop opens to the full detail behind it. The questions are an accordion, so you see twelve lines instead of twelve paragraphs. The five app screens play through on their own until you touch them. There is a missed call calculator: two sliders, your own numbers, and the year they add up to. On a phone the button follows you down the page, and the pain cards swipe. Nothing was cut. Every word is still here, one tap away. Try the calculator.
Clearer words on the calls, the tax and the price
A tradesman with 40 years on the tools read the page and said where it lost him. The missed call wording was wrong, so it now describes what actually happens. The caller leaves a message, it is written out and sent to you, and if they leave nothing they get a short text back to say you will ring them. Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent now read as a one tap connect. The price carries an anchor: less than a single missed call-out, with a founder's rate locked in. The headline dropped "after tea" because it is regional, and the page now names sparky, chippy, plumber and joiner. There is a slot in the early access band for a short clip. Get early access.
The page shows the whole job now
This page used to explain quoting and leave it there. It now walks a whole week of work, from the call you miss while you are up a ladder through to the figures for your quarterly tax. There are 21 things on it, grouped into seven stages: win the work, quote it, plan the week, run the job, get paid, tax and the accountant, and everything else. See what it does.
Real screens, not drawings
Five screens from the app replace the phone mockups that were here before. They are tight crops of the parts you would use every day: the chase list, a spoken job turned into priced line items, the quarterly tax card, an overdue invoice, and the page your customer opens to say yes. The app is running on sample data. Have a proper look.
A comparison you can read in one go
A table puts the same week side by side, paper and WhatsApp on one side and the app on the other. It covers the call you miss, writing the quote, knowing whether it was read, chasing the money and the quarterly tax. Why it is different.
The early access form asks for four things
Your name, your business name, your email and a phone number. The phone number is there so we can ring you about your trade rather than send a generic email to a list. Nothing to pay, and no card asked for. Get early access.
A brighter yellow
The brand yellow on the site changed to a brighter, greener tone. The black stayed exactly the same, because it is the same black the app uses.
yellowtradie.com is live
The site went up and the early access list opened. If you are on it, you will get an email when a place opens. We are letting people in a few at a time so we can answer every message rather than send you a login and disappear.
What you get for joining early
Nothing to pay until it launches. A say in what gets built, because you tell us what gets in the way on a working day. And a low rate locked in when it goes paid, since pricing is not set yet and the people who help shape it get the lowest rate we offer.
Where your data sits
Your jobs, your customers and your prices live in the app on your own phone. The screens on this site use sample data only, and there is nothing of a real customer on this page. More questions.
