Web development and hosting for Christchurch teams and organisations

Avoca Web Design

Our business was born in the Craigieburn mountains, just a hop, skip and jump from Christchurch. We're now based in sunny Nelson, working with clients right across the South Island. Canterbury still holds a special place for us.

Whether you want to reach a local Christchurch audience or you're looking to grow nationally or internationally, we can craft a website that genuinely helps you get there. We also host and maintain websites, and can increase traffic with targeted SEO and strategic planning.

Our friendly team builds long-term relationships with clients in the science, environmental, education and arts sectors. We're in it for the long haul, not just the launch.

Linda

Owner - Forsyth Property Management

I chose you because you came across calm, trustworthy and generally very nice. Also it turned out that you were patient as well!

Susie Wood

Lakes 380

Many thanks and yes we have had awesome feedback. The most interesting feedback as come from ours and other organisations who have wondered how we have produced such a great website with such limited resources.

Annika Werner

Kea Conservation Trust

I think your technical knowledge is excellent (i.e. the speed testing you have done with Oxygen vs. Elementor). You always find a solution, or have options when we have a problem.

Lubo & Denisa

Founders

From early drafts to the final launch, you helped turn our ideas into reality. Every tweak, suggestion, every "let's try this instead', you were in it with us and your ongoing support is just outstanding.

We understand what Christchurch businesses and organisations need

From research projects to professional services, we've helped Christchurch organisations grow online and reach the people who matter.

Science and Research Make complex work accessible to funders, partners, and the public. We've worked with Kea Conservation Trust, and national research projects like Our Lakes Our Future to turn dense research into clear, engaging websites.

Health and Professional Services Build patient trust before they walk through the door. A clean, credible website helps dieticians, medical practices, and consultancies stand out. We've done this for Dietary Specialists , a Canterbury health provider.

Arts and Events Sell more tickets and fill more seats. Festivals, venues, and arts organisations need websites that handle seasonal content, ticketing, and programme updates without breaking.

Business and Professional Services Get found by the right clients. Your website should make it easy for people to understand what you do and get in touch. No clutter, no confusion.

What we do

Our designers develop rock-solid websites and digital strategy, hyper-focused on your target audience and making your brand shine. We also help get you found in search engines and provide ongoing hosting and care.

Website design

Strategy-led web development, built to last

Web design

We design around your content, your audience, and the work your website needs to do. From information architecture through user experience to visual design, every decision is shaped by what the site has to achieve for your team and your visitors.

Web development

We build on Statamic for sites that handle real content and stay easy to manage, on WordPress where it fits, and on Shopify for ecommerce. Performance, accessibility and SEO are built in from the start, not bolted on later.

Launch & handover

We migrate content, preserve your search rankings, and train your team to manage the site once it's live. Launch day is the start of the relationship, not the end of the project.

Hosting and care

The work doesn't end at launch

Hosting

Fast, secure hosting on infrastructure we've chosen specifically for the sites we build. Your site loads quickly, stays up, and has daily backups in case anything ever goes wrong.

Maintenance, support & updates

Updates, monitoring, security patches, and a team you can talk to when something needs sorting. We look after the technical bits so your team doesn't have to.

Strategic partnerships

We can partner with you for a relationship that goes beyond maintenance. Regular check-ins, support retainers, analytics commentary and our Annual Strategic Review keep your site moving forward.

Content strategy & SEO

Practical advice on what to publish, how to structure it for readers and search engines, and how to make sure your content keeps earning its place over time.

Website audits

We dig into performance, accessibility, SEO and content health, then give you a clear, prioritised list of what to fix and why. Useful before a redesign, or as a standalone health check.

Annual strategic review

A yearly deep-dive paired with a strategic conversation. We look at what's working, what isn't, and what to focus on for the year ahead. Included with Peak and Summit hosting plans, or available standalone.

How we work

We’ll ask you to tell us all about your business, your dreams and your plans. Then we’ll probably fall a little bit in love with your brand and wish it was ours.

We’ll plan your digital strategy and website to really target the people you want to reach. And we’ll craft your new website with care and the latest tech to ensure the best possible results.

After launch, we’ll keep your site in tip-top shape, freeing you up to make your magic.
