Most website providers work on a rental model — pay monthly for a site that lives on their platform, under their account. Stop paying, or they change direction, and it's gone. We build things differently: what we make for you is genuinely yours to keep.
When we build your site, it's built on standard, well-documented tools — the same technology any competent developer in New Zealand could pick up and keep running. We hand over full documentation of how everything is set up. If you ever want to move hosting providers, bring in a different developer, or just want to know exactly what you're paying for and why, you can. Nothing about your online presence should be a mystery, and nothing about it should disappear the moment you stop paying someone.
While reaching out to local businesses, we've come across more than one "custom" website that turned out to be identical to several others — same layout, same stock photos, just the name and colours swapped. That's what happens when a site gets assembled from a template rather than actually built for the business behind it.
Every site we build — including our $100 launch offer — gets the same real hours of design and development work, not a template with your logo dropped on top. When you get in touch, you're talking to the person who's actually going to build your site, not a call centre or a support queue.
We'd rather you know exactly what you're paying for than have to hunt through a pricing page full of vague tiers. Our current offer is a flat $100 for your first website, with free hosting included until January 2027 — plain and simple, no hidden setup fees, no fine print designed to confuse you into a bigger plan than you need.
After that (or if you'd rather skip the launch offer entirely), ongoing hosting & maintenance runs on simple published plans, not a "contact us for an enterprise quote" — see the full Hosting & Maintenance Plans.
An automated check runs across every site we build once an hour, day and night, so if something breaks — a broken link, a slow load, an expired certificate — we're usually onto it before you even notice. And because everything is documented and built on portable tools, "built to last" doesn't just mean "hosted forever by us." It means your website will keep working, and keep being genuinely yours, no matter what happens down the track.
We're based here, we build for New Zealand small businesses specifically, and when you email us, you're getting a reply from a real person in New Zealand — usually within 24 hours. No offshore support queues, no generic auto-replies.
New NZ business, happy to answer questions by phone before you commit to anything — or see us on Google.
