Website Design and Development Christchurch

The Essential Website is our core website design and development package for Christchurch businesses. It covers the fundamentals properly: clear structure, considered design, clean build, and a site that leads people to the next step.
It is built on Squarespace or Rocketspark, based on what fits your business and how you prefer to manage updates.

The Essential Website is $3,500.

It includes a discovery session to lock in the page structure and content direction, a five-page build designed as one consistent system, mobile optimisation, contact form setup, and analytics setup with GA4 and the key marketing tags.

We also do the SEO foundations, including page titles, meta descriptions, and sitemap basics. You bring the raw content and images. We edit, structure, and place it so it reads cleanly and feels intentional.

Two review rounds are included.

Most service businesses need the same core pages because people look for the same answers in the same order.

A typical build includes a home page that makes your offer clear and points to a next step, a services page that explains what you do and who it’s for, an about page that builds credibility without padding, a proof page with projects, reviews, results, or examples, and a contact page that removes friction and makes it straightforward to enquire.

If your business needs a different mix, we shape the page set around what matters most.

We start by confirming the structure and what the site needs to achieve.

Then we build the first draft layout and navigation, so you can see the shape of the site early.

Once the structure is right, you send through your content and images. It can be rough notes. We refine it and place it where it belongs.

From there, we move through two focused review rounds, polish everything, connect analytics, run final checks, and launch.

We finish with a handover so you can make updates without hesitation.

This package gives you the foundations that make rankings possible. The site is built with a clear structure, clean page topics, and the basic on-page setup done properly.

We need your logo and any brand assets you have, plus a few example sites you like so we can align on direction.

We need your content, even if it is rough, and your images. If you do not have strong photos, we can guide you toward options that still feel premium.

We also need to confirm how you want enquiries to come in, whether that is a form, phone calls, email, or a booking link.

Yes. We can add pages, sections, and features as your business evolves.

Most of the time, the best move is to get the core right first, then build out from what people actually respond to.

Because the site is designed to be manageable, you can also handle day-to-day updates yourself without feeling locked out.

Yes. The Essential Website is where most businesses start.
