02 / WHY THE DETAILS MATTERMORE THAN A REDESIGN

Good design earns attention. Good journeys earn business.

The structure behind the visuals matters just as much as the visuals themselves. We design for the real questions, searches and decisions your customers bring to the site.

01 / FINDABLE

Search-ready foundations.

Clear URLs, page structure, crawlable content, metadata, sensible redirects and performance-conscious development.

02 / USABLE

Fewer dead ends.

Mobile-first layouts, accessible interactions, understandable navigation and calls to action where people need them.

03 / MEASURABLE

A path to the next improvement.

GA4 events, lead forms and purchase measurement set up according to the agreed scope, ready to inform SEO and advertising work.

03 / CAPABILITIESBUILT AROUND THE BRIEF

The right build.
Not the nearest template.

Whether your project needs a focused service site or connected business systems, we'll recommend a sensible platform and scope.

01 / BUSINESS WEBSITES

Make your offer instantly clear.

Professional, mobile-first websites for local businesses, trades, consultancies and B2B services. Content hierarchy, enquiry forms and SEO foundations built together.

04 / THREE WAYS TO STARTCHOOSE WHAT FITS YOUR BUSINESS

The website you need. The model that fits.

You shouldn't have to buy ongoing marketing just to get a website. And if you do need marketing, you shouldn't have to manage a separate rebuild project.

*Only with an eligible signed SEO / Google Ads Growth Plan. Marketing service fees, minimum term, rebuild scope and hosting conditions apply. The paid AI website packages are a separate offering and do not require a marketing retainer.

05 / OUR DELIVERY APPROACHCLEAR BRIEF · CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY

From first conversation to a website that works.

We make the technical decisions with you, then define the delivery checkpoints before anything changes on your live site.

01

Discover.

Business priorities, audience, existing website and the functions you actually need.

02

Design.

Information architecture, page direction, content and a visible review point.

03

Develop.

Front-end, CMS, integrations and responsive build to the agreed scope.

04

Test & launch.

Review key pages, forms, relevant redirects and tracking before coordinating go-live.

06 / AFTER LAUNCHWE ALSO KNOW HOW TO GROW IT

A website shouldn't stop at launch.

Our SEO, Google Ads and conversion teams look beyond the build: what people search, how they arrive, and whether the site makes the next step easy.

Ongoing search and advertising work is a separate engagement, not automatically included in a website development quote.

07 / GOOD QUESTIONSSTRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you
get started.

Still weighing platforms or budgets? We can recommend the right route without forcing you into the wrong package.

Ask us directly ↗︎
How much does a website cost in New Zealand?

Custom websites, Shopify development and complex integrations are quoted based on requirements. If you need a more standardised website, the separate AI Website Builder starts from US$599 for a Starter build, with the first year of hosting and care included.

Do you still develop WordPress and Shopify websites?

Yes. We support traditional WordPress and WooCommerce development, professional Shopify builds, landing pages and custom platforms. We can also recommend WebForger when its hosted model fits the brief.

Will a new design affect existing Google rankings?

A rebuild can affect rankings, so migration planning matters. We review important URLs, metadata, site structure and redirects as part of the agreed scope. No agency can guarantee rankings will remain unchanged after a migration.

Is ongoing SEO included with website development?

Search-friendly foundations are part of the website process. Ongoing keyword strategy, content work, technical optimisation and link development are separate SEO services unless your proposal explicitly includes them.

Can we get a free website rebuild instead?

Potentially. If you choose an eligible HornTech SEO or Google Ads Growth Plan, a standard rebuild and hosting can be included as benefits of the signed agreement. If you only need a website, you can purchase the build separately.

How long does a custom website project take?

Timing depends on page count, approvals, functionality, content readiness and integrations. We provide an estimated timeline after scoping rather than promising one delivery window for every project.
