THE STARTER WEBSITE

Keep it simple,
make it count

A professionally designed one page website, created around your business and built to make a strong first impression.

If you're a new business, a sole trader, or simply don't need a large website, the Starter Website gives you everything you need to get online professionally, without paying for pages you don't need right now.

$3,000 + GST

LET’S GET STARTED

Are we a good fit?

You don't need a huge website to make a big impression.

The Starter Website is designed for businesses that have a clear offering and want a polished, professional online presence without the time, cost or content needed for a larger website.

It's a great fit if you're starting out, keeping things simple, or simply don't need seven pages to tell people what you do.

The Starter Website is ideal for

  • Sole traders and small businesses

  • Service-based businesses

  • Businesses with a simple, focused offering

  • Businesses that want a professional alternative to DIY

  • Businesses that don't need a large or content-heavy website

  • Businesses that want to get online now, with the option to build on their website as they grow.

Meet YOUR DESIGNER

Ellie Manahi

I've spent the last 10 years designing websites and helping businesses bring their brands to life. Today, I work with clients across New Zealand and around the world, creating websites that are strategic, beautifully designed and genuinely enjoyable to use.

I love the sweet spot between aesthetics and functionality. A website should look amazing, but it also needs to communicate clearly, work seamlessly and help your business grow.

The Starter Website is designed for businesses that don't need a huge website, without compromising on the details that make a website feel considered and completely you.
