Your first website.
You need a proper home online, but finding the time to organise it keeps slipping. I’ll help turn your ideas and content into a website you’re ready to share.
New Zealand web studio
A Website You’re Proud To Share.
Custom websites for New Zealand businesses, organisations, and personal projects—whether you’re starting fresh or replacing a site you’ve outgrown. Designed, built, and managed by one person you can talk to directly.
NZD $50/month. No upfront build fee. Minimum 24-month term.
Wherever you’re starting from.
A website you’ve outgrown.
Your current site no longer reflects the work you do. I’ll help bring the design, content, and experience up to date, while keeping what still works.
Either way, people should understand what you do, see reasons to trust you, and find an obvious way to get in touch. I’ll help you put that in place and keep it looked after.

Visit siteEverything your website needs, handled in one place.
I’m Rhys, the person who designs, builds, and looks after your website. Based in Southland, I work with clients throughout New Zealand and beyond.
With Managed Website, you’ll deal directly with me from our first conversation through to launch and the changes you need afterwards.
A site designed around what you do
A custom design built around your content, your audience, and what you want them to do next. Clear and easy to use on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Clear information and straightforward enquiries
Help visitors understand what you offer and how to contact you. Clear copy and search foundations — including page structure, sitemaps, and Search Console setup — are part of the build.
Hosting and maintenance handled
Your site runs on Cloudflare, with secure HTTPS, DNS management, maintenance, and recovery support included in Managed Website. One person keeps it all looked after.
Help when something needs updating
Send a request through your client dashboard and speak directly with Rhys. General website updates within reasonable limits are included, and your support history stays in one place.
From first message to live website.
Your first chance to review the work is a private working website, with a simple document for your feedback. You can see how the pages fit together before approving the launch.
Agree the plan
We agree who the site is for, what it needs to do, the content it needs, and the scope of the work. That gives us a clear starting point, whether this is your first website or a replacement.
Review your website
During the project, you receive a private working preview and a simple review document. See the pages, try the navigation, and give feedback before approving the site for launch.
Launch and keep it current
I publish your approved site and handle the hosting and maintenance. When your content changes, request an update through your dashboard — general updates within reasonable limits are included.
Your website, built and looked after.
Managed Website includes the build and ongoing care. Add search growth, content, or business email if you need them.
