Small Business Web Design in New Zealand
Our small business web design starts at NZ$2,490 + GST, fixed. For that you get a custom WordPress website you own, designed and built by us in Te Puke. Afterwards we host it and look after it on our managed hosting.
It suits sole traders, trades, clinics, practices, and local shops, the businesses that need a proper website that brings in enquiries rather than a big custom build. We work with businesses across New Zealand.
What You Get
- Up to six pages, designed around your business and your brand.
- A design you see before it goes live. We build on a private staging site, you review it there, and we refine it with you.
- Built in WordPress with Elementor, so you can change text and images yourself after launch.
- A contact form (Fluent Forms Pro) that sends enquiries straight to your inbox.
- Mobile-first design that works properly on a phone, where most of your visitors will be.
- SEO foundations at launch: page titles, descriptions, headings, and a sitemap set up in Slim SEO.
- A handover session where we show you how to edit everything.
- No lock-in. The site is yours, built on WordPress.
What It Doesn't Include
We’d rather you know this now than find out halfway through.
What It Costs Over Five Years
A website isn’t a one-off cost, so here’s the five-year picture. Hosting covers daily backups, security and monitoring. Our Site Support plans add plugin updates done for you and time for changes each month.
| Cost | Over five years |
|---|---|
| Website build (one-off) | NZ$2,490 |
| Hosting, Medium plan (NZ$39.95 a month) | NZ$2,397 |
| Build and hosting | NZ$4,887 |
| Site Support Lite, optional (NZ$49 a month) | NZ$2,940 |
| Build, hosting and Site Support Lite | NZ$7,827 |
All prices + GST, correct October 2026. Five years = 60 months: NZ$39.95 × 60 = NZ$2,397; NZ$49 × 60 = NZ$2,940. Any extra plugin licences your site needs are listed in your quote.
What a Good Small Business Website Needs
A good small business website says clearly what you do and where you do it, makes it easy to get in touch, loads fast on a phone, and shows proof that you do good work. Get those four right and you’re most of the way there.
How It Runs and How Long It Takes
Around 4 to 6 weeks from when we receive your copy and images.
- 1. Kick-off. We talk through your business, agree the pages and the design direction, and you send us your words, photos, and logo.
- 2. Design. We design the site around your brand.
- 3. Build. We build every page on a private staging site, with your contact form working.
- 4. Your review. You go through the whole site on staging and tell us what to change. We refine it together.
- 5. Go live. Final checks, then your domain points to the new site.
- 6. Handover. We show you how to edit your site, and we keep hosting and looking after it.

Small Business Website Questions
We’re here to help. Can’t find your answer? Get in touch.
How much does a small business website cost in NZ?
With us, from NZ$2,490 + GST for a site of up to six pages, plus managed hosting from NZ$39.95 a month + GST, where we keep your site up to date with security updates. Bigger sites with stores, bookings or integrations cost more and are quoted on scope.
Can I make a free website for my small business?
Yes. Website builders have free and low-cost plans, and they can be fine to start with. The trade-offs are that you don’t own the site, you pay more as you add features, and the time you spend building it is time away from your business.
How long does a small business website take?
Around 4 to 6 weeks from when we receive your copy and images. The biggest factor is usually how quickly the content comes together.
Do I need to write the content?
Yes, you supply the words and photos, because you know your business best. We adapt and tidy them so they fit the site and read well.
What if I want to change it later?
You can edit text and images yourself in WordPress, and we show you how at handover. If you’d rather we do it, a Site Support plan includes up to an hour of changes a month, starting at NZ$49 + GST.
