What matters
Five things a website for shops and brands has to get right.
The product page is the salesperson
Photos, the right details, shipping and returns answered before they’re asked, reviews where they count. Most NZ stores lose the sale on a thin product page, not at checkout.
Trust for a five-figure purchase
Selling machinery, furniture or equipment online means people need to trust you before they call. Clear specs, real photos, plain terms, a phone number, and a site that doesn’t look like a scam.
Shipping and payments set up properly
NZ couriers, GST, Afterpay or Laybuy if it suits, rural delivery, click and collect. Configured so the first order doesn’t become a support ticket.
Google Shopping and retargeting
Once the store works, Shopping ads and retargeting ads for people who left a cart are the two highest-return campaigns most small stores never run.
Room to grow
Built so you can add products, categories and pages yourself, and so the store still works when you have 2,000 SKUs instead of 20.
Who we’ve built for
Retail & online stores we work with.
Case study
Pulse Health
A clinic that also sells compression garments in-clinic and by mail. The store lives inside the clinic site, in the same design and tone, so buying feels like part of the care rather than a hand-off to another company.

Getting found, then getting more
A website is step one. Here’s how the next steps usually look for shops and brands.
SEO
Local SEO (Google Business Profile, suburb pages, reviews) is the highest-return marketing for most shops and brands, for a fixed monthly fee.
Ads
Google Shopping puts your products in front of people searching for exactly them. Meta retargeting brings back people who looked and left. Together they are the standard growth engine for a small NZ store, once the product pages are worth landing on. A management fee you know before you start.

Straight answers
Retail & online stores questions, answered.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify if you want simplicity and are happy with its monthly fee; WooCommerce if you want more control and lower running costs; custom if you have unusual needs. We’ll recommend one and explain why in plain English.
How much does an online store cost?
More than a brochure site, because there’s more to build: store setup, payments and shipping, product page design, tracking and training. You get a fixed written quote after the free preview. How we quote.
Can you move our existing store?
Yes. Products, customers and orders can be migrated, and your old store stays live until the new one is ready.
Do you handle the product photos?
We’ll advise on how to shoot them well on a phone and process what you send. Studio photography can be arranged and quoted.
