FEATURE

Show Your Best Work. Before & After. In One Click.

A visual portfolio that proves your quality — with an interactive slider that makes the transformation impossible to ignore. Upload from your phone in seconds. Unlimited uploads included.

What it does
Before/after slider with drag-to-reveal
Unlimited uploads — no storage caps
Category folders by service type

Customers can't see how good your work is from text. Photos of past work sit in your camera roll doing nothing for your business.

"Bathroom renovations" means nothing to a customer — seeing a mouldy 1980s bathroom transformed into a modern wet room means everything. Social media buries older posts — work you did 6 months ago is invisible, lost in the infinite scroll.

Basic static image grids don't show transformation; the "before" is what makes the "after" remarkable. Competitors with visual galleries capture 2x the inquiry rate because customers self-qualify by seeing similar past work. Phone photos sit in the camera roll doing nothing for the business.

The "before" is what makes the "after" remarkable. A gallery proves what text can't.

How Before/After Photo Gallery works

Upload once, organise by category, and the slider builds itself.

01

Upload from your phone or computer

Open your TradesPro dashboard and upload photos from your camera roll. For each project, upload at least one "before" and one "after" image. Unlimited uploads — no storage caps, no overage fees.

02

Organise by service type

Group projects into folders. A plumber might create "Hot Water Systems," "Blocked Drains," and "Bathroom Rough-Ins." A landscaper uses "Paving," "Lawn & Turf," "Garden Design." Each folder becomes a category tab in your gallery.

03

The slider creates itself

The tool auto-stitches each before/after pair into an interactive comparison slider. Visitors drag left to see "before," drag right to see "after." Works on desktop (mouse drag) and mobile (touch drag).

How a visual gallery books more jobs

Impact

Visual proof converts lookers into bookers

Before the gallery, customers read text descriptions and tried to imagine your work. Most couldn't — or didn't bother. With the before/after slider, they see the transformation in one drag. A cracked patio becomes an entertainment area. A 1980s bathroom becomes a modern wet room.

73% of customers say photos of past work is the #1 thing they look for on a tradie website before calling. Without a gallery, you're invisible to nearly three-quarters of your potential customers.

  • Sites with galleries generate 2.3x more contact form submissions
  • Visitors spend 45+ seconds interacting with the gallery
  • 73% of customers look for past work photos first

Categories that let customers self-qualify

A prospect looking for "bathroom renovations" doesn't want to scroll through hot water system photos. Category folders by service type let visitors filter to exactly what they need. Each folder shows a thumbnail preview and image count.

Customers find relevant work faster, self-qualify sooner, and book with confidence. The right photo of the right job can book a $9,500 project without the tradie saying a word.

  • Filter by service type – visitors find relevant work fast
  • Unlimited categories for every service you offer
  • Thumbnail previews and image counts per folder

Watermark your work and protect your images

Worried about competitors copying your photos? The optional watermark overlay stamps your business name and logo across every image. Right-click save gets them a watermarked photo that's useless to them.

All images are auto-optimised — compressed for fast loading without visible quality loss, served in WebP format on supported browsers. Lightbox view with full-screen display, pinch-to-zoom on mobile, and swipe navigation between projects.

Do I need to set anything up myself? +

What happens when a visitor interacts with the slider? +

Can I customise the gallery? +
