It is built lean from the ground up, with fast loading pages, clear content structure and technical SEO that makes it easy for people and search engines to understand your business. Useful automation can be added where it genuinely helps. How much does a new website cost? Most WordPress and Shopify projects sit between $4,000 and $15,000 depending on scope. Custom software is priced per project after a scoping call. Book a free 30 minute call and we'll give you a real number the same week. How long does a project take? A tidy WordPress or Shopify rebuild is usually 4 to 8 weeks. Custom software depends on scope but we ship in fortnightly chunks so you see progress, not a big reveal at the end. Do you host and look after the site once it's live? Yes. We host in New Zealand, run daily backups, patch security, monitor uptime and answer the phone when something's wrong. No ticket queues. No overseas call centres. Can you work with my existing WordPress or Shopify site? Absolutely. We audit what you've got, fix what's broken, add the AI layer and speed things up. You don't always need a full rebuild to get a serious lift. What if I'm not in a main city? We work with clients all over Aotearoa. Most of it happens over video calls and Loom, with on-site visits when it matters. You get the same attention whether you're in Auckland or Alexandra.
