Website Redesign NZ — Stop Losing Clients to a Site That Makes the Wrong First Impression

It is a monthly subscription that covers everything: website design and build, managed hosting, SSL, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, minor content updates, and quarterly strategy calls. There is no large upfront cost — you pay a predictable monthly fee and we own the ongoing performance of the site. If you cancel, the site is no longer active under the agreement.

Because we maintain the hosting, security, performance, and software environment the site runs on. The subscription model works because we spread the design and build cost across the relationship. If the relationship ends, the infrastructure agreement ends too. We are clear about this upfront — it is not a gotcha, it is how the model works.

For most NZ small business sites of 5 to 15 pages, 4 to 6 weeks from sign-off on the strategy to launch. Complex sites with ecommerce, booking systems, or large content libraries take longer. We give you a realistic timeline at the outset and do not compress the QA phase to hit an arbitrary deadline.

A poorly executed redesign will. URL structure changes without proper 301 redirects, removing keyword-rich content, and breaking internal linking are the three most common causes of post-redesign ranking loss. We plan the entire redirect map, maintain all existing keyword targets, and run a post-launch crawl to catch any issues before they compound.

We build on WordPress with a custom block theme — the same platform and methodology behind this site. WordPress powers 43% of the web for a reason: it is fast when built correctly, flexible, and you are never locked into a proprietary system. If you already have an existing platform with a specific requirement, discuss it at the strategy call and we will be straight with you about whether it is the right fit.
