Your website called. It wants an upgrade.
A website as good as the business behind it.
You’ve built a good business. You know what you’re doing. Your customers love you. Your reputation is solid. But your website? Yeah… it might not have quite kept up. 😂
I design WordPress websites for established Kāpiti and Wellington businesses that are ready for a website that looks professional, feels like them and — most importantly — helps turn visitors into customers.
Website design from $5,000 + GST.
Is it time?
Maybe you built your website years ago and haven’t really touched it since. Maybe you’ve added services, grown your team or completely changed direction — but your website is still telling the old story. Maybe it looks terrible on your phone. Maybe you can’t update the bloody thing. Maybe you’re getting traffic but hardly any enquiries. Or perhaps there’s nothing technically wrong with it… You’ve just outgrown it.
It happens. That’s usually where I come in.
Not sure whether you actually need need a new website?
Fair question. Maybe your website needs completely rebuilding. Maybe it just needs a few things fixed. Or maybe it’s actually better than you think. I’ll tell you.
Send me your website and I’ll personally take a look at it and identify the three biggest things I’d change. I’ll look at things like:
Is it immediately obvious what you do?
Does it give people a reason to choose you?
Is it easy to take the next step?
How does it work on mobile?
Is it giving Google enough information?
Could it be doing more to generate enquiries?
Then I’ll send you a quick personalised video explaining what stood out. No enormous audit. No generic automated score.
Just: “Here’s what I’d do.”
And if I think you’ve simply outgrown the website and would benefit from rebuilding it properly, I’ll explain why.
My website projects start from $5,000 + GST, so you’ll know upfront what sort of investment you’re considering.
Your website. My marketing brain. Let's see what's going on.
There is a method to the pretty stuff.
Pretty is good. Strategic is better.
Of course I want your new website to look great. But we’re not decorating the internet. Before we start designing anything, I want to understand:
Who are we trying to attract?
What are they looking for?
What services do you actually want more enquiries for?
What makes someone choose you?
What are people searching on Google?
And what do we want them to DO when they land on the site?
Those answers shape the website. Because a beautiful website that nobody finds — or nobody contacts you through — isn’t particularly useful.
What I take care of
I don’t expect you to turn up with a perfectly organised folder containing your sitemap, SEO keywords, 17 pages of polished copy and a detailed creative brief. That’s kind of why you’re hiring me. I’ll help bring the whole thing together, including:
Website copy
Design direction
WordPress development
Mobile optimisation
SEO foundations
Conversion tracking
How it works
We have a chat
First, I want to know about your business. What’s working? What’s not?Who are your customers? What do you want more of? And what do you absolutely hate about your current website? 😂 We’ll talk through what you need and I’ll recommend the best approach.
I plan it
I’ll work out the site structure, content direction, calls-to-action and how we’re going to position the business.
This is where my marketing brain gets involved.
We’re building a marketing tool — not just some nice-looking pages.
We create it
The copy, design and website come together. I manage the project and work with trusted specialists behind the scenes where needed, while you continue dealing directly with me. No getting passed around an agency. No wondering who you’re supposed to email. I’m your person.
We launch
We test everything, connect the important bits, get the website live and make sure Google can find its way around.
And then you get to send everyone your new website approximately 700 times because you’re finally proud of it. 😂
WordPress websites. Because I like you owning owning your stuff.
I’ve specialised in WordPress websites for years. One of the things I like about WordPress is that your website can grow with your business.
Need another service page? Easy.
Want to start blogging? Yep.
Need landing pages for Google Ads? Absolutely.
Want to add something new in two years that we haven’t even thought of yet? We probably can.
Your website shouldn’t need rebuilding every time your business changes.
What does a website cost?
Website projects start from $5,000 + GST.
The final investment depends on the size and complexity of the website, functionality required and the amount of content involved.
Once I’ve had a chat with you and understand what you need, I’ll give you a clear proposal so you know exactly what’s included.
No mystery hourly rate ticking away in the background.
Know what you’re paying. Know what you’re getting.
“But I can build a website myself for $300…”
You absolutely can. And for a brand-new side hustle or tiny business testing an idea, that might genuinely be the right thing to do.
But that’s not really who my websites are for. I work mainly with established businesses where the website plays an important role in generating enquiries, establishing credibility and helping customers decide who to contact.
If one new client is worth $2,000, $10,000 or $50,000 to your business, suddenly your website isn’t just an online brochure. It’s part of your sales process. And that’s what we’re investing in.
Built with Google in mind.
I spend a slightly unhealthy amount of time thinking about Google. 😂
So SEO isn’t something I suddenly remember the day before we launch your website. We consider search from the beginning.
What are your customers actually searching?
What services deserve their own pages?
What locations matter?
Does Google clearly understand what your business does?
Is the website technically structured properly?
There are never guarantees about where Google will rank a website — anyone promising you #1 probably deserves a raised eyebrow — but we can make sure we’re giving your site a strong foundation.
Hello, Google.
And if you want customers NOW...
A new website and Google Ads can make a very good team. Your ads put you in front of people actively searching for your services. Your website then has the job of convincing them: Yep. These are the people I want to contact. That’s why I offer both.

FAQs
How long does a website take?
Most website projects take several weeks from start to launch, depending on the size of the site, functionality and how quickly I receive anything I need from you. I'll give you a clearer timeframe before we begin.
Do I have to write the content?
No — and please don't spend three months avoiding your new website because you think you need to write it first. 😂
Content is something I can help with as part of the project.
Will my website work on mobile?
Absolutely.
Can you help with Google rankings?
Yes. Search visibility is considered during the build, and I also offer ongoing SEO for websites I've built where it makes sense for the business.
Can you run Google Ads to the website?
Yep. That's one of my favourite combinations.
Do you offer hosting and ongoing support?
Yes. I can look after the website after launch too, so you're not left wondering what to do when WordPress starts asking you to update 14 things.
Your website should be working harder.
If your business has grown but your website hasn’t grown with it, let’s fix that.
