We build websites that let you work your magic

You’re already doing great mahi (work). It’s time for your website to share your magic with the world and drive your business forward.

To grow, you need a great website that engages and delights your perfect clients. Working closely with you, we’ll develop a strong online strategy and a beautiful website, ensuring your business stands out.

Once the website is finished, we won’t leave you to fend for yourself. We host and maintain your site, ensuring it’s fast and safe. We train you to easily edit content, and provide ongoing support.

Our website design process

Since every business is different, every website should be too. Don’t settle for cookie cutter solutions. Get the right result for your business with a website that’s perfectly tailored to you needs.

How we do it

  • 1. Discovery

    It’s super tempting to just dive right into the details and design. However, it’s always better to have a good plan.

    We’ll spend some time digging further into your target market, search engine opportunities and put together a strategy & development plan that will get you where you need to be.

    The outcome of this stage is a custom website marketing plan.

  • 2. Prototyping

    Ok so now we’re diving into the look and feel right? Hmm not quite yet :).

    Too make sure we’re developing the right solution, we create a “working model” prototype website. This process (sometimes called “wireframing” or “UX design”) lets us quickly test functionality and refine content requirements before beginning design work.

    By doing this in the browser you can see and interact with the site and get a better feel for the end result.

  • 3. Website design and development

    Yep, you guessed it, we get into the nitty-gritty of colours, style and finalising the features and any custom functionality. We work closely with your brand to make sure the website really feels like it’s one of a kind. This is where your website really comes to life.

    Your visitors’ time is precious. We want them to spend it converting, not waiting. So as we build, we focus heavily on performance, accessibility and usability, as well as great design.

  • 4. Launch

    When the site is ready for the world, we launch. That means putting the website through our comprehensive launch checklist, making it “live” to the world and ensuring it’s firing on all cylinders.

    This is also when we make sure you know how to get the best out of your website. Easy, short learning videos and 1:1 training are built into every project launch.
