Web Design
Custom-built WordPress websites for Tauranga businesses. No templates, no bloated themes, no shortcuts. Every site is hand-built using modern PHP 8+, semantic HTML5, and current web standards. Our average page load sits under 1.8 seconds with Core Web Vitals compliance on launch. We design for phones first and desktops second, because over seventy percent of local web traffic is mobile. You get a site that loads fast, converts visitors into enquiries, and gives you a genuine competitive edge from day one.
SEO
Rank higher on Google. Get found by more of the right customers. Grow your business through search traffic that compounds month after month. Month one feels slow. Month six starts hurting your competitors. Month twelve, you're the default result when someone searches your service plus Tauranga. We focus exclusively on local Tauranga and Bay of Plenty businesses, so you're never just one account among hundreds. Every campaign is built around your market, your competitors, and the keywords that actually drive revenue.
Hosting & Care
Your website is your best salesperson. It should be fast, secure, backed up, updated, and online always. We host on New Zealand servers with 12ms typical latency versus 180ms from US-based hosts. That's not a minor difference, it's the gap between a site that feels instant and one that feels sluggish. Every plan includes managed WordPress updates, daily automated backups with 30-day retention, SSL certificate maintenance, uptime monitoring from multiple locations, and real local support from our Tauranga team. Not a ticket queue overseas.
Google Ads
Ads without proper landing pages, conversion tracking, and a ranking site are a leaky bucket. That's why we only run Google Ads as part of a wider strategy, not in isolation. We manage the complete journey from search to conversion, building dedicated landing pages when needed and tracking every call, form submission, and event through GA4. If the numbers don't work, we restructure the campaigns, recommend reducing spend, or pause entirely. No fluff, no vanity metrics, just honest reporting on what's actually driving revenue.
Hourly Website Work
Got a website that just needs something fixed, updated, or added? Simple hourly rate. Clear scope. No retainer lock-in. Whether it's a broken page, a content update, a new section, plugin installation, speed optimisation, SEO improvements, hack recovery, or a full hosting migration, we handle it. Most small jobs are completed within 48 hours, and our hosting clients get priority queue access. We provide time estimates before any work begins so there are never any surprises on the invoice.
