WHY WORK WITH ME
A website is only as strong as the business behind it
Before I design anything, I get to know your business. Using my 5 Dimensional approach, I look at five things together: your business, your clients, your market, you as the owner, and the patterns driving or holding back your growth.
What I find shapes everything. The layout, the words and the search strategy all come from the same understanding of your business, so they work together instead of pulling in different directions.
You give me the pieces of the puzzle and I create. You won't need another thing to micromanage.

VIRTUAL MEL
A year of website update work for a Taupo bookkeeping and admin business: dedicated service pages, schema and an llms.txt file so Google and AI tools understand exactly what Mel does.
When the 2026 VA Awards judges searched for her, she showed up, and she went on to win Freelancer of the Year.
How we will work together
1. DISCOVERY
A conversation about your business, your clients and what your website needs to do.
2. PLAN
Page structure, keywords and the feeling you want visitors to leave with.
3. DESIGN AND WRITE
Layout, copy and imagery that sound and look like you.
4. BUILD AND LAUNCH
Tested on phone and desktop, set up with Google Search Console, ready to share.
5. KEEPING IT FED
Updates, fresh content and tracking so it keeps working, if and when you want ongoing support.
Is this you?
You're great at what you do, and you want a website that shows it.
Your service or product is already great, but your website isn't doing it justice
You're open to a fresh perspective, even if it means doing a few things differently
You want someone you can trust with the details, so there's nothing for you to micromanage
You're happy to play your part, whether that's photos, feedback or a quick yes
If that sounds like you, we'll work really well together.
Need more than a website?
ONE PARTNER WHO CAN SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE
A website works best when what happens after the enquiry works too. I also help with sales systems and client journey design, brand and marketing alignment, and Xero bookkeeping and GST, for clients who want one partner who sees the whole picture.
Website design questions
DO YOU ONLY BUILD ON ROCKETSPARK?
Rocketspark is my first choice for most small businesses, and I'm a Bronze Design Partner. I look at other platforms case by case, especially if you already have a site on Wix or Squarespace.
DO I NEED TO WRITE MY OWN WEBSITE CONTENT?
No. You can bring your own words and I'll refine them for search and readability, or I'll write it for you. Either way, it will sound like you.
HOW LONG UNTIL MY WEBSITE SHOWS UP ON GOOGLE?
Searches for your business name can rank within weeks. The Bach in Mangawhai reached #1 for its name in three weeks. Wider local searches usually take a few months, depending on your competition and how often the site is fed.
DO YOU WORK WITH BUSINESSES OUTSIDE AUCKLAND?
Yes. I'm based in Silverdale and work with businesses across New Zealand, all online.
HOW MUCH DOES A WEBSITE COST?
I offer ready-to-go 3 and 6 page website packages at a set price, so you know the investment upfront, with no waiting on a quote. Each package already includes everything a small business website needs to look good, get found on Google and bring in enquiries, because I know what it takes. See the website packages page for what's included in each.
