Most website providers rent you a website. We build you one you keep.
Pay monthly for a site that lives on someone else's platform, and the moment you stop paying, or they change direction, it's gone. We build things differently.
You own what we build
Your site is 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 switch hosting providers, bring in a different developer, or just know exactly what you're paying for, you can. Nothing about your online presence should disappear the moment you stop paying someone.
Real people, not a copy-paste job
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 built for the business behind it. Every site we build, including the $100 launch offer, gets the same real hours of design and development. When you get in touch, you're talking to the person who's actually going to build your site, not a call centre.
Straightforward pricing, no surprises
We'd rather you know exactly what you're paying for than 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 4 January 2027, no hidden setup fees, no fine print. After that, ongoing hosting and maintenance runs on simple published plans, not a "contact us for an enterprise quote."
Built to last, not just built to launch
An automated check runs across every site we build once an hour, day and night. If something breaks, a broken link, a slow load, an expired certificate, we're usually onto it before you even notice. Because everything is documented and built on portable tools, built to last doesn't just mean hosted forever by us. It means your website keeps working, and stays genuinely yours, no matter what happens down the track.
New Zealand owned, New Zealand supported
We're based here and build for New Zealand small businesses specifically. 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.
The old way vs. the ForgePoint way
