A website for your Whanganui business, built to be found

The heritage city on New Zealand's longest navigable river. Whanganui carries a good share of Manawatū-Whanganui's trade, and nearly all of it now starts with somebody searching for a service and a suburb.

Our sites are built for search rather than for a portfolio shot — structured for how people around Whanganui really look for a business, then improved month after month. From $299 a month in USD, no setup fee and no contract.

What ranking in Whanganui actually takes

Main-centre markets are decided on coverage rather than on how the homepage looks. The sites ranking for Whanganui 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 searched for a web designer in Whanganui and read the results properly. None of the top three ordinary listings — the ones under the map — belonged to a studio in the town. Most were firms based somewhere else, running one page per town. We are telling you because most businesses have never once looked at what their own search results actually contain.

Working with a remote studio

The studio runs on Indonesian hours, and a New Zealand afternoon lands on our working morning — so a question sent from Whanganui 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.

The cost of a website in Whanganui, without waiting on a quote

A business in Whanganui 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

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.

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.

How do I know the work actually happened?

Every fix is verified by an independent re-crawl and arrives in your monthly report as before-and-after HTML. We also run the same Engine against our own site and publish the live result, failures included, at justmarket.me/self-audit — so you can judge the standard before spending anything.

What does a website cost for a business in Whanganui?

The same as anywhere, because every price is published: from $299 a month, all included — domain, hosting, copywriting, ongoing SEO. No setup fee, cancel any month.

Can you get my business to number one on Google in Whanganui?

Nobody can guarantee a Google ranking, and Google says as much in its own guidance — it warns that anyone promising one is a red flag. What we guarantee instead is the price, the scope, the delivery date, what you own and the exit, and every fix is proven with a re-crawl you can read yourself.
