Getting your Westport business found on Google
The coal-and-adventure town on the Buller. In a town like Westport, the businesses winning online are rarely the biggest. They are the ones whose website was actually built to be found.
We build websites made from the outset to be found for the searches that bring work — your trade alongside Westport — and improved every month afterwards. One fixed price from $299 a month in USD, everything included, no setup fee.
Getting found in Westport: the honest version
Most local websites around Westport share three faults: slow on a phone, one thin page covering every service, and no clear signal about which areas the business actually serves.
Fixing those three properly is usually the entire difference between page three and page one. None of it is secret and none of it is expensive — it is work that was never done, because whoever built the site was paid to launch it rather than to make it rank. That work is what the monthly plan covers.
A small measured thing rather than an assertion: in August 2026 the top three ordinary results for a web designer in Westport held both businesses based in the area and firms running the same page for many towns. We check this before we build, for your trade rather than ours.
Honest about how we work
The studio runs on Indonesian hours, and a New Zealand afternoon lands on our working morning — so a question sent from Westport after lunch generally gets an answer the same day. Beyond that there is nothing unusual about it: published prices, a site live in 10 business days, and a monthly report carrying the before-and-after HTML for everything that changed.
- 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
Websites around Westport are sold three ways: cheap software you run yourself, a one-off build you then maintain yourself, or a monthly price with the work inside it. We are the third. $299 a month in USD, no setup fee, no minimum term, and the whole price list is there to read before you get in touch.

Frequently asked questions
Will the site work properly on phones?
Yes, and it is not an afterthought. Most local searches happen on a phone and Google judges the site by its mobile version. Mobile speed is measured before and after every change and appears in your monthly report.
How fast will my website be live?
Within 10 business days of the kick-off call. If we miss that date your first month is free, and that promise is in writing.
Do I have to write the content?
No, we write all the copy. You send your logo, any photos you have (or we use professional stock images) and the basic facts about the business — that is the whole input needed from you.
Do you have an office in Westport?
No. We work remotely for businesses across New Zealand, including Westport. The first conversation is a free 20-minute call, and you see published prices before committing to anything.
Do you buy backlinks?
No. We do not buy links and we will not pretend the ones we earn arrived faster than they did. It is listed openly as not included, alongside ads management and online shops — naming the exclusions is what makes a published price believable.
