Web design and build in Wānaka.
For Wānaka operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
Knows the New Zealand rules.
Fast sites in New Zealand English, written for your towns and services, with enquiry forms that actually reach a person.
- Payday filing, every payday
- Holidays Act until August 2028
- ACC levies set by industry
Wānaka businesses gear up for ski season from June, then summer visitors. We automate rostering, bookings and guest messages so small teams handle big weeks.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
Quotes with GST, consent paperwork, LBP records and health and safety logs: the admin every New Zealand trade business carries.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Small team.
Real systems.
Zero fluff.
What web design and build covers
What changes for Wānaka teams after this lands: the work that used to need a person stays done, the work that needs a person gets done with their attention undivided.
- Conversion focused wireframes signed off before design
- Build on a stack you can host cheaply and edit safely
- Analytics and lead routing wired in from day one
- Performance budget enforced at launch and after
- No annual contracts
- No AI theatre
What Wānaka runs on.
Wānaka's visitor economy centres on its lakes, mountains and ski areas, Cardrona, Treble Cone and Snow Farm, which operate from June to October.
Lake Wanaka Tourism has more than 450 member businesses. Ski areas operate from June to October.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
Good questions, answered
Are there hidden costs we should plan for?
Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default web design and build stack we reach for is Astro, Cloudflare Pages, Figma, Claude, Plausible, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run - Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
What's a typical engagement length for Wānaka businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
