Website design for small businesses.
A proper website from $2,500, fixed. Up to 5 pages, live in four weeks, and every account in your name at the end.
Get a fixed priceMost small business websites in New Zealand do not fail on design. They fail on the basics: no clear statement of what the business does, no price or range, and a contact form that quietly goes nowhere. Our small business web design starts with those, because a plain site that answers them outperforms a beautiful one that does not. The full list is in our small business website checklist.
What $2,500 includes
Small business web design, with nothing hidden in the price.
- Up to 5 pages, built on a proven layout and adapted to your business.
- Mobile-first, because most small business visitors arrive on a phone.
- A contact form that reaches your inbox the same minute, tested before launch.
- The technical SEO groundwork: titles, headings, page speed, a sitemap and structured data.
- Setup of the domain, hosting and analytics, all in your name.
- A short handover so you know how everything fits together.

Why small businesses come to us
Website developers for small business, not for agencies.
Something you can edit
If you want to change text and images yourself, editable content is +$800, and it means you are not paying a developer every time your hours change.
Nothing held hostage
The domain, hosting, code and analytics sit in your name. If you ever want another developer to take over, you can hand them everything the same day.
Timeline
Four weeks, once the content is ready.
The build takes four weeks on a dated schedule. What decides when it starts is content: your words, your photos and your logo. We send a short list of exactly what is needed at the beginning, and if writing is the thing you have been putting off, copywriting is one of the additions above.
If you are deciding between this and a cheaper template, what $500 gets you versus $2,500 is an honest comparison, including when the cheap option is the right one. Small businesses in Auckland can also read web design in Auckland.
We work remotely with small businesses across the country, including web design in Christchurch, Wellington, Hamilton and Nelson. For the bigger picture on price, see how much a website costs in New Zealand, and for everything every build includes, website design in New Zealand.
Small business websites · FAQ
Small business website questions
How much does a small business website cost in New Zealand?
Ours start at $2,500 for up to 5 pages, fixed. Most small business sites land between $2,500 and $8,000 once you add things like editable content, bookings or an online shop, and every addition is priced up front.
Is five pages enough?
For most small businesses, yes: home, services, about, a page of work or examples, and contact. Extra pages are added at a fixed price each if you need them, such as one page per service.
Can I update the website myself?
With editable content added (+$800), yes: text, images and pages, without touching code. Without it the site is cheaper to build, and changes go through us.
Do I need to write the content?
You know your business better than we do, so the facts come from you. If writing it up is the hard part, copywriting is available as a fixed-price addition, and we work from a short conversation and your notes.
Will my small business website show up on Google?
It will be built so Google can read and index it properly from day one. Ranking for competitive terms takes ongoing work beyond that, and a complete Google Business Profile matters as much as the site for most local businesses.
Do you have an office I can visit?
No. We are a remote New Zealand studio, and the price reflects not carrying an office. Everything runs over email, scheduled calls and a staging link you can check on your phone.
