Who it's for

Christchurch businesses that need a proper website, not a project

Most small businesses don't need a six-week agency project. They need a clean, fast site that says what they do, where they work and how to get in touch, and that looks right on a phone. That's what we build: for sole traders and small teams across Christchurch, Selwyn and the rest of Canterbury, from trades and cleaners to cafés, salons, clinics, tutors and small shops.

You don't fill in a brief or book a meeting. You describe the business the way you'd describe it to a customer, and the site gets built from that.

How build-first works

You see the real site before anyone asks for money

  1. Describe your business in a sentence or two.What you do, where you work, and the phone or email you want customers to use. Add anything that matters to you, like the feel you're after.
  2. Your site is built while you wait.Usually a minute or two. It appears at a private preview link that works on your phone, isn't shown to search engines, and stays live for 14 days.
  3. Ask for changes, or add your logo.You get three free rounds: describe a change ("warmer colours", "put the phone number up top") or ask for a completely fresh design. Upload your logo and the design is rebuilt around it.
  4. Love it? Claim it and pay.Pick your options and we email payment details. Bank transfer or PayPal; no card details ever touch our site. Once your payment lands, we connect your domain or send you the files.

What a Christchurch small-business site needs to get right

When someone in Christchurch looks for a business like yours, they're usually on a phone and want three answers fast: do you do the job, do you cover their area, and how do they reach you. Your site is built around those.

  • Your area, in plain words. Tell us where you work and where you don't. If you cover Halswell and Rolleston but not Rangiora, the site says so, and customers don't waste a call.
  • Contact that works with one tap. Phone numbers and email addresses become tap-to-call and tap-to-email links. There are no web forms to break, and nothing collects customer data you'd then have to look after.
  • Fast on a phone. Our sites carry no scripts, no tracking and no outside fonts or files, so there's very little to load.
  • Your words, in New Zealand English. The copy is written from what you tell us. Nothing is padded with filler.
  • Opening hours, prices and services, if you want them shown. We only publish what you give us.

One honest note on Google: no one can promise you a ranking, and we won't. A well-made site helps, and so does a free Google Business Profile for your business. Link your new site from it once you have one.

What we won't do

No invented reviews. No rented website.

  • We never invent reviews, star ratings, awards, years in business or client logos. If you haven't told us something, it isn't on your site.
  • We don't fill your site with stock photos of strangers posing as your team. The design is drawn for your business. After you buy, we can add real photos you send us.
  • We don't lock you into a subscription. Once you've paid, the site is yours: code and content. Your first year of hosting and small changes is included, and after that you choose what you want, including taking the files free.
  • We don't hold your domain. Register it in your own name with any New Zealand registrar, and we'll help connect it.
Questions from Christchurch businesses

Straight answers

Do we need to meet?

No. Everything happens online: your short description, the preview link, and email. If you have a question, a real person answers it.

Are you based in Christchurch?

We're a New Zealand business that works online, and we build for businesses anywhere in the country, including Christchurch, Selwyn and the rest of Canterbury. There's no shopfront to visit; that's part of how the price stays low.

Who actually builds it?

An AI agent (Claude, by Anthropic) builds the website from your description. That's why it takes minutes and costs a fraction of an agency. A person looks after payments, connecting your domain, and any questions.

Can I use my own .co.nz domain?

Yes. Register the domain in your own name with any New Zealand registrar and pay them directly. Once your site is paid for, we help point the domain at it. If you don't have one yet, your site can run on the free link we give you.

What if I need changes after it's live?

Small changes are included for the first 12 months: up to three a month, such as new prices, updated hours, a new service or a photo you send us. Bigger work, like extra pages, is priced on the pricing page.

What happens if I don't like the preview?

Close the tab. You owe nothing, and the preview expires on its own after 14 days.
