Website Design FAQs
Got a question? I’ve got answers
Whether you're wondering which package is right for you, how the process works or what happens after your website goes live, you'll find the answers below. And if there's something I've missed, just get in touch.
Packages
-
I offer three website packages, depending on what your business needs:
Starter — One Page Website
A professionally designed one-page website for businesses with a simple, focused offering.
$3,250 + GST · 1 week.
Core — Custom Website
A custom-designed website of up to 7 pages, ideal for businesses that need more space to showcase their services, story and expertise.
$5,000 + GST · 2 weeks
E-Com — Ecommerce WebsiteA professionally designed online store with up to 5 pages and 20 products. Ideal for businesses selling physical products, digital products or online courses.
$6,500 + GST · 3 weeks
-
It really comes down to what your website needs to do.
If you have a simple offering and don't need a large website, Starter may be all you need.
If you need multiple pages to showcase your business, services, team or expertise, Core is likely the best fit.
And if you're ready to sell products, digital products or courses online, E-Com is designed for you.
Still not sure? That's what I'm here for. Send me an enquiry and I'll point you in the right direction.
-
Yes. Each package has a defined scope to keep the process and pricing straightforward, but additional pages, products and custom functionality can be added where needed. I'll quote these separately based on what you need.
The Process
-
The timeline depends on your chosen package:
Starter: 1 week
Core: 2 weeks
E-Com: 3 weeksThese are focused project timelines, so having your content and images ready before we begin is important.
-
Not necessarily, but you'll need to have your content, images and client questionnaire ready one week before your project starts.
This gives me everything I need to hit the ground running when your project begins.
-
Not at all.
If you'd like to chat before we get started, I'm happy to jump on a call. But if you'd rather keep things simple and communicate by email, that's completely fine too.
I offer in person meetings for clients based in Christchurch.
-
I'll handle the design, development and technical side of your website, but I'll need your input along the way.
You'll have opportunities to review the website and provide feedback before we launch. My job is to make the process as easy as possible, you don't need to know anything about website design or development.
-
Absolutely. In fact, I love email.
If you're not a fan of video calls or prefer having everything in writing, we can communicate entirely by email throughout your project.
Design + Content
-
You can provide your own copy, or I can help refine it through my Professional Copy Edit add-on.
I'll also make sure your website content is structured clearly and set up with SEO in mind.
-
If your existing brand needs a little polish before we start your website, I offer a Mini Brand Refresh as an optional add-on.
Custom brand identity packages are quoted on request.
-
That's okay. I'll work with the images you have and can advise you on what types of imagery will work best for your website. If professional photography is important for your business, I can also point you in the right direction.
Technical
-
I work with Squarespace, Framer and Shopify, depending on what your website needs. I'll recommend the platform that makes the most sense for your business rather than trying to make every project fit the same platform.
-
Yes. Every website includes basic SEO setup as part of the project, including page titles, meta descriptions, image optimisation and other essential on-page SEO.
I'll make sure your website has a solid SEO foundation from the start, although ongoing SEO and Google rankings can't be guaranteed.
-
Yes. The E-Com package is designed for businesses selling physical products, digital products or online courses.
Depending on what you're selling and how complex your store needs to be, I'll recommend Shopify or Squarespace and help set everything up ready for launch.
-
The E-Com package is designed specifically for online selling, so if ecommerce is a core part of what your website needs to do, this is the best option.
If you have a small number of products or a simple payment requirement, get in touch and we can discuss what would work best.
Pricing + Payments
-
My three packages start at:
Starter: $3250 + GST
Core: $5,000 + GST
E-Com: $6,500 + GSTEach package has a clearly defined scope, so you know what you're getting and what you're investing from the beginning.
-
Yes. All three packages can be paid upfront or over three monthly payments.
Payment plans include a 20% surcharge:
Starter: 3 × $1,200 + GST
Core: 3 × $1,800 + GST
E-Com: 3 × $2,400 + GST -
For upfront payments, a 50% deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining 50% due one week before your project starts.
For payment plans, the first payment is made when your booking is confirmed, followed by two monthly payments.
-
International clients can pay by bank transfer in their local currency, with payment converted to NZD, or by card via Stripe. I'll provide all the payment details when your invoice is issued.
General
-
Your website is live! I'll send through a handover guide with video tutorials so you can confidently manage your website, plus one month of email support to help with anything that comes up.
-
Yes. Your website will be built on a platform that allows you to make your own updates and changes. I'll show you how everything works during the handover process, so you're not left wondering what to do once your website is live.
-
Your project includes one month of email support after launch. If you need help beyond that, just get in touch and we can discuss what you need.
-
Not at all. I'm based in Christchurch, New Zealand, but I work with businesses throughout New Zealand and around the world. Most of the process can be handled entirely online, so you don't need to be local to work with me.
Still have a question?
Can't find what you're looking for?
No problem. Send me an enquiry and tell me a little about your business and what you're looking for. I'll get back to you within two business days.
