How much does a website cost?
Most small-business websites we build cost between $2,900 and $7,500 + GST, depending on pages and features, and one-page sites start at $1,500. Custom software usually starts around $9,500. Every project gets a fixed quote before any work starts, and our project estimator gives you a ballpark in under a minute.
How long does a new website take?
A Launch site typically takes 2–3 weeks from the go-ahead, a Growth site 3–5 weeks, and custom software 4–10 weeks depending on scope. The biggest variable is usually content, so we help you pull the words and photos together.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name, and you own the code, the content and the design. There are no lock-in contracts, and if you ever want to move on we hand everything over, no questions asked.
Why hand-coded instead of WordPress or Wix?
Hand-coded sites have no page-builder bloat, no plugins to patch and very little to break. That makes them faster, more secure and cheaper to run, and speed matters to both Google and your customers. You still get a site you can update: we can add a simple editor, or make changes for you on a care plan.
Will my website show up on Google?
Every site we build ships with the technical SEO done properly: fast load times, clean structure, schema markup, a sitemap and your Google Business Profile connected. Nobody can honestly guarantee a #1 ranking, but we build every page to give you the best possible start and show you exactly how you are tracking.
Do you only work with Tauranga businesses?
We are based in Tauranga and love meeting local clients in person, from the Mount to Te Puke and Katikati. We also work with businesses right across New Zealand over video call.
