DEVELOPMENT IN CHRISTCHURCH
Built by hand. Built to hold.
No page builders, no bloated themes. We write the code, which means the site loads quickly, behaves predictably, and stays maintainable long after launch.
Code you could hand to anyone.
Sites outlive the people who build them. Ours are written so the next developer can pick them up without an archaeology dig.
Modern stack.
Next.js, React and TypeScript where speed matters, WordPress where editors matter. We pick for the project, not for habit.
Talk it through
Fast by default.
Performance budgets set before we start. Images, fonts and scripts are handled properly, so good scores are the baseline rather than a later fix.
Talk it through
Genuinely editable.
A CMS shaped around how your team writes. Clear fields, sensible limits, and no way to accidentally break the layout.
Talk it through
The unglamorous parts, done properly.
Common questions.
A standard business website typically costs between $3,000 and $8,000. More complex sites with custom features, CMS integration, or e-commerce run $8,000 to $20,000. Web applications and platforms start from $15,000 and go up depending on scope. We provide a fixed quote after scoping your project.
We work with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS for modern web applications and high-performance marketing sites. For content-managed websites, we use WordPress with custom themes and Advanced Custom Fields. For e-commerce, WooCommerce or custom solutions depending on the requirements.
A marketing website typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. More complex sites with custom features or integrations take 8 to 12 weeks. Web applications can take 3 to 6 months depending on scope. We give you a timeline during scoping and keep you updated throughout.
Both. WordPress is a great choice when you need a CMS that is easy to update. Next.js is better when you need top-tier performance, complex interactive features, or a web application. We recommend the right tool for the job, not the one we prefer.
Yes. We regularly take over existing WordPress sites, fix performance issues, add new features, and rebuild sections that are not working. If a full rebuild makes more sense, we will tell you honestly rather than patching something that needs replacing.
Hosting for a standard WordPress site runs $20 to $50 per month. Next.js sites can be hosted on Vercel, often for free or under $20 per month. Domain registration is around $30 to $50 per year. We set up hosting as part of the project and can manage it for you ongoing.
Yes. We offer maintenance plans covering updates, security patches, backups, and small changes. For larger ongoing development, we work on a retainer or project basis. Most clients stay with us long-term because it is simpler than finding a new developer every time they need something.
Performance and SEO are built into every project. We optimise images, write efficient code, set up proper caching, and configure meta tags, schema markup, and heading structure. Our sites consistently score 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights.
