Small business websites, built from an IT lens.
Clean, fast, well-hosted websites for Waikato and Bay of Plenty trades and small professional services — with email, DNS, SSL and ongoing support all from one team.
What's included
Most small business websites we are called in to look at have the same recurring problem: the website was built by one provider, the email is hosted by another, the DNS is managed by a third, and the original developer has moved on. When something needs to change — a new domain, a renewed SSL, an email deliverability issue, a hosting migration — the customer is left chasing three vendors who each blame each other. The website itself is often fine; the support around it is what fails. Having one team across the website, the email and the DNS doesn't make any individual layer cheaper, but it removes most of the operating cost of carrying separate vendors.
- Site design and build (Astro / static-site, or WordPress, depending on the editing pattern that fits)
- Hosting — recommendation, setup and ongoing management
- DNS configuration covering website, email and any subdomain services
- SSL provisioning and ongoing renewal
- Basic on-page SEO setup — page structure, meta tags, structured data, sitemap, Google Search Console verification
How we deliver it
We start by being honest about scope. If your business needs a custom-designed brand site with photography, copywriting, marketing strategy and ongoing content programmes, we will tell you that's outside our scope and refer you to a website agency we trust. If your business needs a competent, professional, fast-loading website that does what a small business website should do — explain what you do, let people contact you, show up for your business name on Google, look right on a phone — we can do that well and at small-business pricing. Build runs as a small project: scope conversation, draft pages for your review, content load, hosting and DNS cutover, launch. Post-launch support runs under your existing Managed IT agreement or a small standalone monthly arrangement.
Outcomes
- A working website hosted on infrastructure we also manage
- Email, DNS and SSL on the same accountability model as the site
- Basic SEO foundations in place — no shortcuts that get the site penalised later
- One team to call when something needs to change, regardless of which layer of the stack the change is on
