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.
> WHAT WE DON'T DO

We build ranking in. We don't rent it to you.
✕ Backlink packages
2010 called. We build the site properly instead.
✕ WordPress, Wix, Squarespace
No page builders. No plugin bloat. Hand-coded only.
> 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.
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.
