Websites, built well and hosted right.
A site that does its job: looks the part, loads fast, and turns up when people search. Built on modern tools, yours to own, with none of the platform lock-in or plugin churn. Then we host it and keep it healthy for a flat monthly fee that actually makes sense.
in plain terms
We design and build your website, hand it over so you own it outright, and host it for you on a simple monthly plan. No template you can't change, no logging a job every time you want to edit a sentence, no surprise bills when a plugin breaks. It is right-sized for small firms and sole operators - the appropriate site, done well, kept current.
sound familiar
The website that fights you.
- You can't update it yourselfEvery small change means emailing a developer, or wrestling a platform that wasn't built for you.
- It's slow, or it's fragileHeavy page builders and stacks of plugins that break, need patching, and are a security liability.
- You don't really own itLocked into a builder's subscription or an agency's account, and you can't leave with your own site.
- Nobody can tell you if it's workingNo idea who's visiting, what they do, or whether it brings in a single enquiry.
the build
What you get.
A custom site on our shared design system, built to be fast, findable and genuinely yours.
Fast and secure by design
Static, modern build. No database to hack, no plugin treadmill, nothing to patch at 2am. It just loads, and it stays up.
Edit it yourself
A simple content system so you can update pages, add news and change wording whenever you like, in minutes, without paying anyone.
Analytics built in
GA4, session replay and tag management wired up the first time - so you can see who's visiting and what actually works.
The build is a one-off project, fixed-price and quoted up front after a quick chat - a simple site runs $1,500-$4,000; a more involved web app, give us a call. You own the site, the domain and the accounts - leave with everything, any time.
hosting & care
Hosting, priced simply.
Once it's live, we host it and keep it healthy on a flat monthly plan. Pick the level that fits - move up or down any time.
$50 /month +GST
Managed hosting for your site. It stays up, patched and monitored, and you edit your own content whenever you like. DNS management included.
$100 /month +GST
Everything in Host, plus a plain-English monthly report - who's visiting, what they're doing, and whether the site is reaching the people you built it for.
$200 /month +GST
Everything in Insight, plus ongoing SEO, ad-performance monitoring and advice, and conversion and tag management. A light marketing hand, kept honest.
DNS management is included on every plan. Domain registration (about $25-40 a year) is billed at cost, or you own it directly - your choice. Content writing isn't included; you supply it, or we quote it separately.
common questions
Websites, answered straight.
How much does the build cost?
The build is a one-off project, priced fixed and quoted up front after a short chat. It depends on how many pages and whether you want the self-service editing and things like an automatic publications or listings feed. No marked-up "agency rate" - you get the honest scope.
Do I have to take a hosting plan?
No. You own the site and can host it wherever you like. But most people want it handled, and the plans start at $50/month - less than most DIY builders, and we do the work.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. We set up a simple content system so you can update pages, add news and change wording in minutes, without emailing anyone or paying for changes.
What happens if my site suddenly gets busy?
A static site handles traffic cheaply, so a spike usually costs nothing. Plans are based on a normal-usage baseline; if sustained traffic or the site itself grows well beyond that, we talk about it and show you the numbers first - never a surprise bill.
Do you do WordPress?
We can, but we usually don't recommend it for a small brochure or marketing site. Modern static builds are faster, safer and cheaper to run, with none of the plugin-patching overhead. We'll tell you honestly if WordPress is genuinely the right fit for you.
