Kia ora
You run a business, not a website. So we take the whole thing off your plate: the design, the hosting, the updates and every small change, for as long as you’re with us.
No page builders to learn, no logins to remember, no tech jargon. If something on your site needs to change, you send us an email.
What we do
Seven things, done properly. The first four come with every website; the rest you can add whenever they make sense for your business.
Custom website design
Designed mobile-first around your business, your work and your customers – not squeezed into a template. Quick to load on a phone in the ute or at the bus stop.
Hosting, security & updates
We host it, keep it secure and keep it up to date. There’s nothing technical for you to manage, ever.
Changes on request
New opening hours, a new service, fresh photos of your latest job? Just email us and we’ll make the change.
Local search setup
At launch we set up the technical side of search, so Google clearly understands who you are, where you work and what you offer. We won’t promise rankings – nobody honest can.
Google reviews on your site Add-on
Your live Google rating and reviews shown on your website, updating on their own.
Online booking Add-on
Let customers book a time or an appointment straight from your website.
Your domain
Help getting your own .co.nz or .nz domain set up in your name, or moving the one you already have. Your existing email keeps working.
Our promise
No jargon, no surprise invoices. Just a website that keeps working.
That’s the whole idea. A good website shouldn’t need you to think about it.
See it first. Then decide.
You see your finished website before you pay anything. If you don’t order, you pay nothing.
Request a preview
Tell us your business name, your town and your email address. It takes about two minutes. Got an email from us with a link? Then your preview is already done.
Your photos
Add your own photos right in the form, straight from your phone, or later through the link in your preview. Real photos of your business, your work and your team work best. No photos to hand? Then we use suitable example photos for now and swap them for yours later.
Your preview
Within 3 business days you get the link to your website, with your price. Look at it in your own time, on your phone or computer.
Your changes
Something missing or not quite right? Tell us with the form in your preview. We make the changes and you check again.
Order
Like it? Order it straight from the preview: choose your domain and pay by card. If you don’t order, you pay nothing.
Live
After your approval your website goes live at your own address, usually within two business days for a new domain.
Pricing
One price. Everything looked after.
A one-off setup fee for designing and building your site, then one monthly fee that covers the lot. All prices in New Zealand dollars. Prices exclude any local taxes (GST, sales tax).

Ask us a questionHow we work
Straight answers
Plain English and clear prices. If we can’t help with something, we’ll say so.
Honest about Google
We set up the technical groundwork properly. We don’t sell guaranteed rankings, because nobody can deliver them.

Your services, your photos, your words. No made-up reviews, no borrowed logos, no filler.
You’re free to go
On the monthly plan, cancel any month with 14 days’ notice. Your domain stays yours, whatever you decide.
Good questions
Before you ask
Do I need to know anything about websites?
Not a thing. You tell us about your business and send us some photos. We handle the design, the hosting and the technical bits.
How do changes work once the site is live?
Send us an email with what you’d like changed, such as new hours, a new service or new photos, and we’ll take care of it. Up to 3 small changes a month (about 15 minutes each) are included.
What happens if I want to leave?
On the monthly plan there’s no minimum term: after the first paid month you can cancel to the end of any billing month with 14 days’ notice. The yearly plan renews each year unless you cancel at least 14 days before the renewal date. Your domain stays registered to you, and we’ll help you hand things over.
Will you get me to the top of Google?
No one can honestly promise that. What we do is set up the technical side properly at launch, so Google understands your business, your location and your services. That gives your site a solid footing.
I already have a domain or an email address. Can I keep them?
Yes. We’ll help you connect the domain you already own, or register a new one in your name. Your existing email keeps working.
How much do Google reviews and online booking cost?
They’re optional add-ons and depend on how your business works. Email us and we’ll give you a clear price before anything is set up.
