Website Design and Development
A website should bring in enquiries and sales, not just look nice. We design and build new websites and refresh existing ones, built to load fast, rank in Google and convert.
Websites for every stage of your business
Whether you’re starting fresh or your current site isn’t pulling its weight, we’ll build what fits.
A brand new website
Starting from scratch or outgrown what you have? We plan, design and build a site around your customers and what you need it to do.
A website refresh
Not every site needs starting over. We redesign, speed up and restructure what you have, while keeping what already works in Google.
Online stores
Stores built to sell, with products, payments and shipping set up properly and your systems connected.
Ongoing care
After launch, a monthly care plan keeps your site updated, secure and fast, with improvements based on what visitors actually do.
What’s included in every website build
Everything it takes to launch a website that works, not just one that looks good.
Strategy and planning
We start with your goals, customers and competitors, then plan the pages and journeys your site needs.
Design that fits your brand
A custom design built around your brand, designed for phones first and tested on every screen size.
Content and copy
We help shape the words on every page, so visitors understand what you do and know what to do next.
Built for Google and AI search
Clean structure, fast load times, proper headings, meta titles and image alt text from day one.
Enquiries and tracking
Forms, booking tools and Google Analytics set up, so every enquiry and sale is tracked.
Launch without losing rankings
We handle the launch, including redirects from your old pages, so the rankings you’ve built carry across.
Website results: So You! Boutique
A Rangiora boutique whose best work, Debbie’s colour analysis and styling, was invisible online. We rebuilt her Shopify store around how her customers actually shop.
Online sales up 192% in the first month
We built a custom Shopify theme that lets customers shop by their colour season, cut the homepage from 35 MB to 2.7 MB on mobile, and added online booking for colour analysis and styling for the first time. In the first month after launch, 45% of orders came from returning customers.
The relaunch newsletter hit a 50% open rate and 33% click rate, her best yet.

Your website is where your SEO, ads and social all send people. We build it to make the most of that traffic.
SEO planned in from the start
Our SEO team plans your pages and keywords before the build, not as an afterthought after launch.
Ready for your ads
Landing pages and conversion tracking set up, so your Google and Meta ads send people somewhere that converts.
Real photos and video
Our in-house team can shoot the photos and video your new site needs, so it doesn’t rely on stock images.
One team, one plan
Your website, SEO, ads and social run by the same in-house team in Christchurch, so nothing falls between agencies.
How we build your website
From the first chat to launch day, and every month after.

We learn your business, customers and goals, review your current site and plan the pages, structure and content.
Design
We design the key pages for you to review, and refine them until they look and feel right.

How much does a website cost in New Zealand?
It depends on the number of pages, the platform and features like online booking or an online store.
Every build is scoped individually, and you get a clear quote before we start. Book a free strategy chat and we’ll talk through what you need.
How long does it take to build a website?
It depends on the size of the site and the features it needs.
We give you a timeline when we scope your project, and keep you updated at every stage so you always know what’s next.
Which platforms do you build on?
Webflow, Shopify and WordPress, including WooCommerce.
We recommend the platform that suits your business: Webflow for fast, custom-designed sites, Shopify for online stores, and WordPress when you need its flexibility or already use it.
Can you refresh our existing website instead of starting again?
Yes.
If the foundations are solid, a refresh can be quicker and more affordable. We can redesign pages, improve speed and structure, and fix SEO issues while keeping what already works in Google.
Will we lose our Google rankings with a new website?
Not if it’s done properly.
We map your old pages to the new ones and set up redirects, so the rankings and links you’ve built carry across.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes, every page.
We design for phones first and test on different devices before launch, because that’s where most of your visitors are.
Is SEO included?
The foundations are.
Every site launches with clean structure, fast load times, headings, meta titles and descriptions, and image alt text. Ongoing SEO to grow your rankings is a separate service.
Can you build an online store?
Yes.
We build online stores, and can connect them to your point-of-sale, booking or stock systems, like we did for So You! Boutique with Lightspeed.
Do you look after websites after launch?
Yes, with an ongoing care plan.
We keep your site updated, secure and fast, make changes when you need them, and keep improving it based on what visitors do.
Can you connect our website to other tools?
Yes.
Booking systems, CRMs, email marketing, payment providers and stock systems can all be connected, so enquiries and orders go exactly where they need to.
Do we own our website?
Yes.
Your website, domain and content are yours. If you ever move on, everything we’ve built stays with you.
