What a website
costs in NZ.
You shouldn't have to enquire just to learn the ballpark. These are guide prices in NZD and exclude GST, for work by TJ Design, a web design studio on the Kāpiti Coast working with businesses right across New Zealand. Your actual quote is fixed before any work starts, and it doesn't creep.

Template look, you do all the work, and there's no one to call when it breaks.
Custom-designed and yours to keep. We host it, back it up and keep it updated.
Built for enterprise scale. Overkill for most local businesses.
Every project includes hosting and domain setup. Then for $89 a month we host your site on fast, modern infrastructure, keep it backed up, and handle your content changes and small tweaks. One bill, everything looked after, no builder subscription and nothing to learn. Your domain renews separately (around $30–$50 a year), and the site is always 100% yours.
The bits people
actually ask about.
Is the price a quote or an estimate?
A quote. The figures above are guide pricing so you know the ballpark without having to enquire. Your actual quote is fixed before any work starts, and it doesn't creep — no hourly surprises and no padding.
Do your prices include GST?
No — every figure on this page is plus GST. Your quote will show the GST amount and the total separately, so there's no surprise at invoice time.
Do I own the website?
Yes, completely. The site is 100% yours. If you ever want to move it to another provider we hand over everything — there's no lock-in and nothing held hostage.
What are the ongoing costs after launch?
Hosting and care is $89 a month plus GST, covering hosting, backups, and your content changes and small tweaks. Your domain renews separately at roughly $30–$50 a year. There's no builder subscription on top of that.
Why not just use Wix or Squarespace?
A DIY builder runs about $20–$60 a month plus your time, and you get a template look, all of the work, and nobody to call when it breaks. A custom build costs more up front, but it's designed around your business and it's yours to keep. We wrote a longer comparison: website builder vs hiring a web designer.
How long does it take?
A landing page is usually live in one to two weeks, a business website in two to four, and an online store in three to six.
