Website and app development in Queenstown

Fast, search-ready websites and web apps for Queenstown and Central Otago businesses, made by the same team that makes your video, so the two finally work together.

A website that does your video justice

A lot of small business websites are slow templates with a video embedded as an afterthought. We build the other way round: the site is designed around your content, whether that is a showreel on the homepage, a gallery of past work or a booking page, and it loads fast on a phone in a car park.

We build sites by hand or in WordPress, and we look after the parts most people never see: page structure, business schema, the sitemap, Search Console and the link to your Google Business Profile. The site you are reading now is our own work and scores 95 to 100 on Google's Lighthouse performance test.

What we build

Business websites

Service pages, a portfolio, reviews and a contact form, written and structured to be found for what you do and where you do it.

Campaign landing pages

One focused page for an event, a launch or an ad campaign, built to load instantly and convert the click. Pairs well with our social video.

Web apps and member areas

Sign-in, uploads, dashboards and review queues for customers, students or staff, running on modern cloud infrastructure.

Installable phone apps

Web apps that go on the home screen and open like an app, without the cost and wait of the app stores.

SEO and Google Business Profile

Technical SEO, structured data and a site that matches your Google listing, so search engines understand who you are and where.

Forms that feed your CRM

Enquiries straight into HubSpot or your inbox, with a fallback so none go missing.

Frequently asked questions

Can you build an app for the App Store?

Most businesses do not need one. We build web apps that install on a phone's home screen and behave like an app, with no app store approval or fees. If your project genuinely needs a native iOS or Android app, we will tell you so.

Can you work on our existing WordPress site?

Yes. We work in WordPress as well as on hand-built sites, including technical SEO, structured data and speed improvements.

Will the site be set up for Google?

Every page gets its own title and description and a clean heading structure. The site gets business schema, a sitemap, Search Console, and a proper link to your Google Business Profile.

Can the contact form go straight into our CRM?

Yes. Our own forms send enquiries into HubSpot, with an email fallback so an enquiry is never lost if something is down.
