Custom websites built for growth, clarity, and long-term visibility. Structured for Google and AI search. Built to convert.



Looking for small business website design in Christchurch? Here’s how I help. Every project begins with a strategic questionnaire to clarify your goals, audience, and growth plans. From there, we align structure, design, and SEO so your website not only looks professional, but performs with purpose.

Before the development phase begins, you'll receive an interactive mockup of your website design based on the details from the confirmed proposal. This allows you to visualise the website layout, colours, and functionality, and ensures the design meets your expectations before we move forward.

I provide custom-designed templates for both static pages and blog posts, built using the flexible Divi Theme. These templates make it easy to maintain a consistent look and feel across your website while also allowing you to add new content or create additional pages effortlessly. Both Wordpress and Webflow offer easy-to-use interfaces enabling you to manage your site without needing technical expertise.

After your site is launched, I provide personalised training on how to use WordPress or Webflow. This ensures you can confidently manage your site, update content, and make basic edits as needed, without feeling overwhelmed by the platform.

Your website will be developed to work seamlessly across all major devices - desktops, tablets, and mobile phones. This ensures a smooth, user-friendly experience for your visitors.

Each page is carefully structured with clear headings, relevant search terms, and thoughtful on-page optimisation. From titles and meta descriptions to internal linking and content clarity, your website is designed to improve visibility and help the right customers find you online.

I will set up Google Analytics to provide insights into your website’s performance. This tool tracks key metrics such as visitor behaviour, traffic sources, and popular content, which allows you to make data-driven decisions to improve your site.
Every custom website is scoped around your specific goals, functionality, and content requirements. That's why I begin with a questionnaire. It helps define exactly what you need and ensures you’re not paying for features you don’t. As a guide, custom website projects typically start from $1,800 + GST.
At the lower end, this usually includes:
As the investment increases, additional features may include:
If you're unsure what level you need, completing the questionnaire is the best first step. It will help clarify scope.
Most custom website projects take 4 - 8 weeks from confirmation to launch. The exact timeline depends on how quickly the proposal and scope are approved, when the final copy and images are supplied and the complexity of functionality - eg bookings, eCommerce, integrations.
A typical timeline looks like this:
If content is ready and decisions are made promptly, projects can move faster. If content takes longer to finalise, the timeline naturally extends.
I primarily work with small businesses and sole traders, particularly those looking to establish credibility, grow their visibility, and attract the right clients online. Many medium-sized organisations already have in-house web teams or dedicated SEO specialists. However, I'm always open to working with medium-sized businesses where there's a clear alignment in goals, values, and scope. My strength lies in working closely with business owners, providing strategic direction, clear communication, and a hands-on approach from start to finish.
Yes. Every custom website includes foundational on-page SEO as part of the build. This covers:
This ensures your website launches with a strong search-ready foundation. However, ongoing SEO, such as content strategy, backlink development, authority building, and performance monitoring, is a separate service for businesses that want to actively grow their search visibility over time. If long-term search growth is a priority, I also offer dedicated SEO support beyond the initial build.
Yes...absolutely. Every custom website includes personalised training so you can confidently manage your own content, update text, add blog posts, and make basic edits.
As a standard inclusion, I provide one hour of training following launch. This covers the essentials of using WordPress or Wix, depending on your platform.
If your website includes more advanced functionality such as blogs, eCommerce, booking systems, or additional templates, extended training can be arranged to ensure you feel fully comfortable managing the site.
You’ll never feel “locked out” of your own website, but support is always available if you prefer ongoing assistance.
For most businesses, I recommend WordPress. WordPress offers greater flexibility, long-term autonomy, and scalability as your business grows. It allows for deeper customisation, advanced functionality, and more robust SEO capabilities. Ongoing hosting and maintenance can also be more cost-effective compared to many all-in-one website builders. Wix can be a suitable option for very small starter websites where the goal is simply to establish an online presence quickly. However, as businesses evolve and require more control, integration, and performance optimisation, WordPress typically provides far more room to grow. If you're unsure which platform is right for you, I help assess your goals during the discovery process and recommend the option that best aligns with your long-term plans.
