Three steps.
Then we’re away.
We’ve taken a hacksaw to everything that usually makes building a website slow and painful. No eight-week discovery phase. No forty-page proposal that nobody finishes reading. No dashboard you have to learn.
We talk
Half an hour, no charge, and no pitch. This is a conversation, not a presentation.
We want to understand your business the way you understand it. Who your best customers are and where they come from. What you’ve already tried online and how it went. What a genuinely good year would look like, in real terms, not in marketing terms. Mostly, in this first meeting, we listen.
By the end of it, we’ll both have a fair sense of whether we’re a good fit. If we’re not, we’ll say so, and point you towards someone who is. Nobody signs anything over a first coffee.
What you need to bring: nothing but an honest picture of where things stand.
We build
Once we’re agreed, the work becomes ours. Design, words, code, and infrastructure, all handled in-house.
We design the site around your customers and the decisions they make, not around what looks impressive in a portfolio. We write the core pages so they read like a human wrote them and so search engines understand them. We build it on AWS with CloudFront, the fast, secure stack we put every client on.
We launch quickly, because a site that goes live in weeks and earns its keep beats a perfect site that is still in revisions six months later. You’ll see it before it goes live, of course. We’ll walk you through it, make the changes you want, and only press publish when you’re happy.
Typical time from go-ahead to launch: a few weeks, not a few months.
We look after it
This is the part that actually matters, and the part almost everyone else skips.
From launch onward, your website is simply handled. Every month we manage it, improve it, watch it, and report on it. We publish content if that’s part of your plan. We keep an eye on speed, security, search rankings, and the things you’d never think to watch. When something needs changing, you send a quick message and it gets done.
When something out in the world changes, a Google update, a competitor’s move, a shift in your rankings, we’re the ones who notice and reach out. You get on with running your business. We get on with looking after the corner of it that lives online.

Common questions
The questions people usually ask
Do I have to know anything technical?
No. That’s rather the point. You will never be asked to log in, update anything, or understand a single setting.
What if I want to leave?
After the twelve-month minimum term, you’re month to month. Give us a month’s notice whenever you like. Your website is yours to keep, no matter what.
Why twelve months?
We put a lot of work in upfront to design and build the site properly, often more than the first few months cover. The twelve months let us do that without cutting corners. After that, we stay because the work is good, not because a contract traps you.
Can I add services later?
Yes, and most people do. Almost everyone starts with the Foundation and adds SEO, content, or local search once they’ve seen the site working. There’s never any pressure to take more than you need.
What if I already have a website?
We’ll often rebuild it on our stack and bring your content across. If you’re on WordPress, we handle the migration. You don’t lose what’s worth keeping.
How much input will you need from me?
Less than you’d expect. We need your logo, a set of photos if you have them, and your honest view on what the site needs to do. We handle the writing, design, and all technical decisions. Most clients spend three or four hours across the whole build.
Do I own the website?
Yes, fully. From day one it’s yours. If you ever leave, you take it with you. No lock-in, no clever clauses about intellectual property.
What types of businesses do you work with?
Primarily trade businesses and professional services firms throughout New Zealand. Builders, plumbers, electricians, accountants, consultants, physiotherapists, financial advisers. For e-commerce, we have a separate conversation.
