Christchurch-based web developer for small businesses across New Zealand.

We use a launch fee rather than a traditional setup fee. The launch fee covers the initial website build, setup, staging, launch coordination and first-version optimisation. Lite has a reduced launch fee with a 12-month plan. Starter, Growth and Pro can use the $0 launch fee option with a 12-month website management plan.

Yes, for Starter, Growth and Pro. The launch fee can be waived when you choose a 12-month website management plan. Lite has a reduced NZ$199 launch fee with a 12-month plan rather than a $0 launch fee.

If you choose the flexible monthly option and pay the launch fee, your plan runs month to month. If you choose the reduced Lite launch fee or $0 launch fee option, the plan has a 12-month minimum term.

It covers the initial build work, site setup, staging version, DNS/domain configuration, launch coordination, first-version optimisation, one initial draft, and up to two structured revision rounds. Domain registration, paid third-party tools and email/mailbox provider costs are billed separately if required.

Each launch includes one initial draft and up to two structured revision rounds. A revision round means one collected batch of feedback, so the project keeps moving cleanly. Extra revision rounds, added pages, major direction changes, or work outside the agreed scope is billed separately at the current hourly rate, with a one-hour minimum.

Not always. If the domain is already working, we can often update DNS records and leave ownership where it is.

Yes. Email records are handled carefully so your existing inboxes keep working during the website move.

Yes. Ongoing content changes are part of the monthly service, with update time depending on your plan. Included update time is there for small ongoing changes each month. Unused time does not roll over. If you need more than the included monthly time, extra work is billed at the current hourly rate, with a one-hour minimum per request.

A simple first version can usually move quickly once content, domain access, and direction are confirmed.

Yes. Each site has a password-protected staging version so you can review launches and changes before they are published to the live website.

We will be reasonable and help with a clean transition. Your domain, business content, supplied branding, photos and third-party accounts remain yours. We do not automatically provide source code, private repositories, internal tooling or deployment systems unless agreed in writing, but export or transition work can be discussed and quoted if needed.

That is the point. We handle hosting, technical setup, updates, and small ongoing changes for you.
