> QUESTIONS SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ASK
How much does a small business website cost in NZ?
Our Starter Build is $5,000 NZD for a 5 to 8 page hand-coded website. Businesses with several services or locations usually land in the Business Build tier from $10,000 NZD. Both are fixed quotes sent within 48 hours. Managed hosting and support plans start at $30 a month.
How long does it take?
Most small business websites are live in 2 to 4 weeks. Málama, a seven-page practitioner site with Calendly booking, went live in under two weeks. Content is the usual bottleneck, so we start on copy in the first week.
Why not WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?
Template sites carry plugin bloat, monthly subscriptions and slow load times. We hand-code instead. CoverMania replaced 15 WordPress plugins with a site that has zero plugins and zero database, which cut hosting costs and left nothing to patch. You still get a way to edit content: Exudy runs on a Sanity CMS the owner uses without a developer.
Can I get quotes with photos from my website?
Yes. Arborist Auckland takes up to 5 photos with each enquiry, Solis Panelbeaters takes up to 6 and delivers them into their assessing software, and CoverMania uses a three-step quote form with uploads so jobs arrive pre-scoped.
Will my business show up in my suburb?
That is what the service-area pages are for. Tommy Paint Redo has a page for each north Auckland area it serves and ranks for suburb-level searches; Solis Panelbeaters targets nine suburbs and CoverMania ten Auckland areas plus five marinas. Each page carries LocalBusiness schema for that area.
