Pricing

Count the pages you need: usually home, about, contact, and one for each service you want found on its own. Five or fewer is Starter. If you want a blog, or a page for each of several services, that's Business. If you want to change the words and photos yourself, that's Growth.

If you're not sure, start smaller. When you outgrow a plan, you move up to the next one.

Six months on every plan, then it's month to month.

Six months is enough to prove the site works. The build takes two to four weeks, so by the end of the term it has been live for most of five months. In that time we've run it and made whatever changes came up, and you've had the monthly numbers, so both of us know whether it's bringing in work. After that you stay because it's working, and for no other reason.

On every plan we build the site, write the words, host it, make every change you ask for and fix anything broken within two working days, and you can ring and get one of us. We set you up to be found on Google: titles, descriptions, headings and the code that tells search engines what each page is about, plus your Google Business Profile, set up and optimised so you can show on Google Maps. The profile is free from Google and stays yours; we're only its manager. We also set up Google Search Console, so every page can show in search and Google tells us about any problems. We keep it running, with a check every five minutes, a speed re-test every month and a monthly email with your numbers. You also get spam-filtered forms, a preview image for when your link is shared, an email address on your domain, and an optional redesign every three years, at no extra cost.

Business adds a blog, one integration and changes made within three working days.

Growth adds an editor for the words and photos, the integrations you need, your own analytics dashboard (Umami, which uses no cookies), a fuller monthly report with the Google searches that found you, and changes within two working days.

One invoice, the same amount every month. Nothing gets added on because you asked for a change, and you keep the price you joined on. If our costs ever forced a rise, you'd get 90 days' notice and could leave before it started.

The day you accept your plan and pay for the first month. That first payment covers the rest of the month you start in, and work starts once it's in. From then on the fee is paid on the 1st of each month.

The six-month minimum is that part-month plus six full months, so you know the date it ends from day one. The terms have the detail.

Nothing inside your plan. Starter covers five pages, Business ten, Growth fifteen, and the price is the same every month whatever you ask us to change. Outgrow the one you're on and you move up a plan rather than buy pages one at a time.

Work outside your plan, like building something new rather than changing what's there, is charged by the hour, and you get the price before we start, not on an invoice afterwards. Prices are in NZD and exclude GST.

You'd start a fresh six-month term. The site has to go back up and be looked after again, so it's a new arrangement rather than picking up where you left off.

Until you've approved the home page design in writing, yes. Walk away for any reason and you get every payment back.

Once the design is approved there are no refunds. The work's been done by then, so if something's wrong we'd sooner fix it than argue about it.

We charge no late fee and no interest. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it, and if it's still unpaid after about a week we remind you. Two weeks overdue, changes to your site pause until you've paid. After that we give you written notice and ten working days before the site is suspended, and only after another month unpaid could we end the agreement.

Pay what's owed and everything comes back. If we did have to end the agreement inside the six-month minimum, we could claim what we lose for the rest of it, less what we save by no longer running your site.

If money gets tight, tell Craig before any of that; we'd far rather sort something out.
