The Content Refill
ONGOING BLOG CONTENT. SITES WE BUILT ONLY.
$300 + GST per article
Ongoing blog posts written to show up in Google, ChatGPT, and AI Overviews. Only for sites we built ourselves. Why? Because that's the only way we can promise the schema, internal linking, and publishing pipeline actually work.
- 1,500 to 2,500 word posts
- FAQ schema and topic-cluster interlinks
- Written answer-first, easy to skim
- Sounds like you. Written by humans. No AI slop.
- Published straight to your site by us
- Monthly performance check-in
- No monthly minimum, order what you need, cancel whenever
Why clients only? Because we control the schema, internal links, and publishing pipeline on our own builds. That's what makes the content actually rank. Good blog posts on a busted site is fuel in a dead engine. We won't sell that.
The Brand Imagery Pack
CUSTOM IMAGES FOR EVERY PAGE. NO STOCK PHOTOS.
$450 + GST per build, or $75 + GST per Content Refill article
Most small business sites run on the same stock photos as their competitors. This pack replaces them: a hero for every page, a card image for every service, and a sharing image for every URL, all in one consistent look written for your business and your part of the country. Art-directed by us from a written brief, generated with commercial AI image models, and you pick the finals from a contact sheet before anything goes live.
- 8 to 12 scenes briefed around your services and location
- Two candidates per scene; you choose on a contact sheet
- Hero, service card and social sharing image for every page
- Cut to every size the build needs, WebP and JPG, alt text written
- One consistent style across the whole site
- Licensed for your commercial use, no stock library fees
- Article header + sharing image for Content Refill posts
Why not stock photos? Because the same smiling tradie is on forty other sites, and Google and ChatGPT can tell. Images briefed around your actual services and suburb read as yours, load fast at every size, and give every page a proper sharing preview instead of a blank card.

> PRICING QUESTIONS
Do the prices include GST?
No. Every price on this page is in New Zealand dollars and excludes GST, which is added at 15% on the invoice. The Content Refill is listed the same way, at $300 + GST per article, and the Brand Imagery Pack at $450 + GST per build.
Are the Brand Imagery Pack images AI generated?
Yes, and we say so. We write a brief for your business, your services and your area, generate two candidates per scene with commercial image models, and you pick the finals on a contact sheet. Faces, hands and anything with lettering are checked by us before delivery. The point is a consistent look that belongs to your site instead of the same stock photo your competitor is using.
Is the quote really fixed?
Yes. You get one number within 48 hours of telling us what you need, and it only changes if you change the scope. There is no hourly billing and no discovery-phase fee.
What does a $5,000 Starter Build include?
Five to eight hand-coded pages in React or Next.js, schema and FAQ markup, a contact form with spam protection, Google Business Profile setup help, and deployment to Netlify or Vercel with SSL. It is aimed at solo operators, tradies and small businesses that need to show up on Google.
What happens after launch?
You own the site and the code. Managed hosting starts at $50 a month if you want us to run it. One-off changes are a flat per-task rate, and the Content Refill is available for sites we built. Neither is a retainer; you can stop at any time.
How long does a build take?
Most websites ship in 2 to 4 weeks after the quote is accepted. Web apps and SaaS platforms are scoped and timed individually, usually 4 to 8 weeks.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. The Business Build includes a light CMS (Sanity or Payload) so you can change text, images, products, prices and articles without us; Exudy's owner runs 105 products this way and Cloudbase Print edits featured products in Payload. Web apps include an admin dashboard. The Starter Build is static by default, with changes at a flat per-task rate or under the support plan. Design and layout changes are code on any platform, and we make those for you.
Not sure which tier fits? Small business website design covers the Starter Build in detail; our websites and web apps show what each tier has shipped. Recruitment, HR and advisory firms can start from the CRM platform instead of a blank scope.
