Websites for small Kiwi businesses

A website that brings in work, and never becomes another job

We run the website, so you can run the business. We build you a sharp one, and it scores 90 or better on Google's speed test. The website isn't the boring part; running it is, and that's ours. The exciting part will be the extra calls.

The problem

Your customers are leaving before your site loads, and you'd never know

Not one of them rings to tell you they left.

A slow or dated site loses customers every week, and the only sign is a phone that rings less than it should.

The good news is that it's measurable. Google scores every website out of 100, and we'll send you yours, usually within five minutes.

53%of phone visits end when a page takes more than three seconds to load. That's Google's own research, from 2016.

What we do

Everything a website needs, and none of it falls to you

Designed, built, written and run for you. We've learned the hosting so nobody else has to.

  • Designed for your business

    Emma designs every page around what you do and who you want to reach, and she builds it herself, so it isn't a template with your logo dropped in.

  • Hard to break into

    No login page, no database and no plugins, which is where most small-business sites get broken into. Nothing online is unbreakable, but this is as small a target as a site gets.

  • Fast on a phone

    90 or better on Google's speed test before it goes live, on a phone, on mobile data. Chrome's own data: people give up 24% less often when a page clears that bar.

  • Found on Google locally

    Every page built so Google can tell what you do and where, and your Business Profile set up too. It's the part most sites get wrong.

  • The words written for you

    You answer questions about your business and we write every page for the people you want ringing you. No blank page, and no “send us the content” email six weeks in.

  • Kept running

    We don't do “she'll be right”. A check runs every five minutes and a speed test every month, changes are unlimited, and we fix anything that breaks.

What it costs

No build fee. From $200 a month.

That's plus GST, and it covers the build, hosting, the words, changes whenever you want them, and the two of us keeping it running and watching whether it's earning its keep. None of that is an optional extra, which we're told is unusual. The bigger plans buy room and setup, like more pages and an editor of your own, not a better build.

Six months to start, then month to month.

  • Starter

    $200 per month, plus GST

Who you're dealing with

Two people, and you'll know both by name

If you've had a website built before, you'll know the pattern: an invoice that grew, and a developer who stopped replying once it went live. There are two of us, based in Gulf Harbour, and when you ring, one of us answers. Usually the one you wanted.

  • Craig picks up the phone

    He looks after the people side, from the first call to the change you want made on a Tuesday.

  • Emma designs and builds it

    From the first design to the code that runs it, and she's the one who changes it when you ring.

How it works

Three steps, and most of the work is ours

  1. You tell us about your business

    Not about websites. What you do, why someone should pick you over the other lot, and what you want people to know in the first five seconds.

  2. We build it

    We aim for four to six weeks, depending mostly on how quickly things come back from you. You see it before it goes live, and the price you were given is the price.

  3. It goes live, the phone rings, and you get on with your work

    When something needs changing, you email or ring, and we change it. That's the whole arrangement.

Who we're wrong for

Some jobs we'll turn down

If one of these is you, there's a better shop for it.

  • You want a creative partner

    We'll have picked the hero image by Tuesday.

  • You need a proper online shop

    That's a Shopify job, and we'll tell you so on the first call.

  • You want to build it yourself

    Building it is the one job we won't hand back.

  • What we're good at

    A fast, sharp site for a business that needs one and would rather not think about it again: a café, a physio, a plumber, an accountant.
