Well-made websites for Taranaki businesses.
We’re a small web design studio in New Plymouth. We design and hand-build fast websites for the cafés, trades, clinics and makers of the ring plain, and we’re just down the road when you need us.
From first coffee to launch day.
Five plain steps, one person you can call the whole way through. No account managers, no offshore hand-offs.
Week 1
Discover
A coffee or a call in New Plymouth. We learn how your customers find you, what they ask, and what the site has to do for the business.
Week 1–2
Design
Real pages with your words in them, on your phone, before a line of production code. You comment; we refine.
Week 2–8
Build
Hand-built and tested on slow phones and old laptops. Accessible, fast and found by search from day one.
Launch day
Launch
Domain, email records, Google Business Profile, redirects from your old site. We stay on call for the first week.
Ongoing
Care
On the monthly plans: hosting, updates, backups and small changes, plus ongoing improvements, from someone who answers the phone and lives down the road.
Three ways to work with us.
Compare packagesBuild & handover
For businesses that have someone to run a website, or already have a host. We design and build your site, then hand over the keys: the code, content, domain and logins, with a walkthrough. You host it wherever you like.
from $300
Build, host & maintain
For owners who want a website that just works, with no tech to think about. We build it, host it and look after it. Security updates, backups, monitoring and small changes are all handled for you.
$149/mo
Build, host & grow
For businesses that want their website to keep getting better. Everything in Build, host & maintain, plus a standing plan to keep improving: monthly reviews of speed and search, new content and pages, and changes driven by how visitors use the site.
$399/mo
Prices in NZD, excluding GST. Builds start at $300 for a static site and $2,500 for a dynamic site. The monthly plans add hosting and care to the build, and you can cancel with a month’s notice.
Down the road, not offshore.
Taranaki Websites is based in New Plymouth and works across the ring plain, from Waitara to Hāwera.
- We’ll come to you
- Meetings at your counter, your workshop or a café on Devon Street. Seeing how you work makes for a better site.
- We know how Taranaki searches
- “Plumber Inglewood”, “café near Pukekura Park”. Local search has its own patterns, and we write for them.
- NZ hours, NZ law
- Same time zone, the Privacy Act 2020 and the Consumer Guarantees Act. No overnight emails to a team overseas.
- One person, start to finish
- The person you meet is the person who designs and builds your site, and who answers when something breaks.
Tell us about your business.
A short message is plenty. We reply within one working day with honest advice, even if that’s “you don’t need a new website yet”.
