I build clean, mobile-friendly websites for local tradies, cafes, salons and shops. Your hours, your work, your phone number, one tap away. Built by a local, usually live in 1–2 weeks.
Most people find you on their phone, often from your Google listing. Your site should answer their questions fast and make it easy to get in touch.
Looks sharp and loads quickly on a phone, a tablet or a laptop.
Your number and address are always one tap away.
A simple enquiry form, or a button to the booking system you already use (Fresha, Setmore and the like).
Photo galleries, before-and-afters, menus, price lists and opening hours, whatever fits your business.
Hosted on Cloudflare with HTTPS (the padlock), so no "Not secure" warnings.
Clear page titles and descriptions, and your Google listing's "Website" button pointed at your new site.
A painter working across the greater Bream Bay region. (Full disclosure: Susan's my mum, and she was my first client.)
Same quality site either way. Pick whether you'd like to look after it yourself or have me look after it for you.
$750 NZD one-off
You own and run it. No monthly fee from me.
$500 upfront + $39/month
Your website built, then looked after for you.
All prices in New Zealand dollars. GST may apply. Your domain name (about $25–35 a year) is separate and stays in your name on both options.
In person, over the phone or by message. We talk about what your customers need to see. No obligation.
Photos of your work, your hours, prices or menu. Rough notes are fine; I'll tidy the wording.
You get a preview link to look over on your phone. Tell me what to change.
The site goes live on your domain. I hand it over, or look after it on the care plan.
Timing: usually about 1–2 weeks once I have your photos and text.
Yes. That's your web address, like yourbusiness.co.nz. It costs about $25–35 a year and is registered in your name. If you already have one (even if it doesn't show anything yet), we can use it. If not, I'll help you pick and register one.
You do. Your domain is always in your name. With Build & hand over, the site sits on your own Cloudflare account, so it's fully yours from day one. On the care plan I look after the hosting for you, and if you ever leave, I'll hand the site over to you.
On the care plan, small text and photo updates are included. Just send them through. With Build & hand over the site is yours to change. I'm happy to make changes for a quoted price, or you can move onto the care plan later.
Usually about 1–2 weeks once I have your photos and text. Getting those together is normally the slowest part, and I'm happy to help.
Keep your Facebook page! A website just makes things easier for customers who aren't on Facebook or don't want to log in. They can see your hours, prices and work straight away. It also gives your Google listing somewhere proper to link to.
No. Build & hand over is a one-off payment. The care plan is month to month with one month's notice.
Prices are in NZ dollars. GST may apply. I'll confirm the exact total before you commit to anything.
I'm Luke Jacobs, a local. I build websites for the businesses I'd actually use around Bream Bay and Whangārei. You deal with me directly, face to face if you like, and I'll keep things simple.
