Your Timaru business deserves a site that ranks
South Canterbury's port town on Caroline Bay. Demand is not the problem in Timaru. The question is whether the business people find first is yours.
We build the site to rank for the terms that produce paying work in Timaru, and keep at it after launch — the part most studios quietly skip. Published price from $299 a month, everything in it.
What it takes to get found in Timaru
Main-centre markets are decided on coverage rather than on how the homepage looks. The sites ranking for Timaru generally have a page per service, load fast on mobile, and kept adding content long after the build was signed off.
Very few got there within a month, and anyone promising you that in a market this competitive is selling something. We build the structure that makes the climb possible and then add to it every month — because a site that stops improving begins sliding.
In August 2026 we ran the search a customer would run for a web designer in Timaru. The top three ordinary listings, below the map, were part local and part out-of-town. That mix is the normal picture, and it is the one worth knowing before anybody spends money on a website.
How this works in practice
There is no Timaru office and nobody who will drive out to meet you. What there is: prices you can read before making contact, a fixed 10-business-day delivery, and monthly work you can verify, because every fix we claim is confirmed by an independent re-crawl of your site. Plenty of clients have never met us and have a better website than the competitor who sat through three meetings.
- Free 20-minute call — you tell us what your business does and for whom; we tell you honestly whether we fit. No proposal theater.
- Every price is published — $299, $599 or $1,199 a month in USD, no setup fee, cancel any month.
- Live in 10 business days from kick-off, or your first month is free — that promise is in writing.
- Improved every month — new pages and ongoing SEO, with every fix verified by an independent re-crawl.
What you pay, and what that includes
A business in Timaru has three real options. Builder software is cheaper because you do the building, the writing and the search work yourself. A one-off build costs more up front and then leaves the upkeep with you. The third is a monthly price with the work inside it — ours, at $299 a month in USD, no setup fee and no lock-in.
Pay yearly and get two months free. Cancel any time and we refund the unused months pro rata — the annual plan is a discount, not a lock-in.

Frequently asked questions
Does the time difference make this awkward?
Less than you would expect. The studio works Indonesian hours, and a New Zealand afternoon falls on our working morning — so anything sent after lunch is usually answered the same day rather than overnight.
Who owns the website and the data?
You do. The domain is in your name from day one, and the content, the Search Console property and the Analytics account are yours rather than ours. Nothing about leaving requires our cooperation.
Is there a contract?
No. Cancel in any month, with no notice period and no exit fee. Your domain is registered in your name from day one and you get a full export of the site and its content within five business days of leaving.
How long until I see results in Timaru?
The site is live in 10 business days and your first monthly report shows every fix that shipped, so the work is visible immediately. Rankings are slower — they compound over months and depend on your competitors and how long your domain has existed. In a main centre they are slower again. Anyone quoting a date is guessing.
Do you charge in New Zealand dollars?
Our published prices are in US dollars — $299, $599 or $1,199 a month — the same for every market outside the Benelux. Your card converts at your bank's rate on the day; there are no local surcharges and nothing hidden.
