WEBSITE DESIGN, BUILD AND MAINTENANCE
Website Design and Development
based in Queenstown, New Zealand
Sam Jones – Web Developer
Whether you’re into the technical side of things, or not, we’ll talk with you in terms you understand.
Easy to find.
Easy to use.
We build the sites your clients, and Google, will love. Plus you can manage your site content with ease – from your computer, your tablet or your phone.
Great idea?
It can be done.
Have an idea for your website but not sure if it’s difficult, or even possible? Give us a call and we’ll make it happen!
We love happy clients
All website builds include 2 hours of remittance work with you, after site completion, to ensure that you are happy with the finished product.
Responsive Designs
Magical Device Balance.
It's all about them
Design should be simple yet engaging, navigation clear, and UX intuitive.
Is Responsive enough?
Sometimes your desktop-focused website just isn’t appropriate for the mobile arena. No problem. We can redirect your mobile visitors to a mobile landing page, or another site altogether. Whatever is most appropriate.
Keep it simple
Mobile users are very goal-oriented. They expect to be able to get what they need, immediately, and on their own terms.
We make your message bold and clear, to maximise user interaction.
It has to be quick!
You bet it does. We use blazingly fast hosting, CDNs and intelligent design to keep your website users on your site.
Let us take care of that.
(We don’t just design and build websites.)
Your one-stop web shop.
Domains
Need a domain name?
Or just need yours looked after?
We’ll take care of that for you.
Registering, transferring and renewing – you can leave it with us.
Hosting
Speed and price are important.
We’ll host your site on a great server, with pricing and resources appropriate for your site.
If your needs change, we’ll upgrade or move it for you to something more powerful.
Get sorted with a professional email address.
We’ll set you up to run email addresses @yourdomain.com through Gmail, so you can enjoy the ease-of-use, great spam filtering and lots of space.
Maintenance
Join our Website Maintenance Plan and we’ll make sure your website stays in tip-top shape.
Optimisation, updates, daily backups and more are all part of the package.

BREAK ONE
breakone.co.nz
Break One Clay Target Shooting in Queenstown were having trouble with their booking forms. While we were fixing those they decided they’d like to have their site moved to a faster server, and rebuilt in a new, more functional, theme but still maintaining the existing design. ‘No problem’ we said.
KOVACS
www.kovacs.co.nz
Kovacs have been designing and constructing luxury furniture in New Zealand for over half a century. Using only the very best materials their expert crafts-people build stylish and enduring pieces that you will love. We felt their website should reflect that.
PAVEMENT
pavement.co.nz
With their skate fashion store based in Dunedin, Craig and Evie had been dreaming of a new website for quite a while. We integrated their existing point-of-sale software with a brand new Shopify website, hooked in Lay-Buy and automatic shipping through Go Sweet Spot and they are rolling!
TOPFLITE
https://topflite.co.nz/
Topflite produce and sell a huge range of pet food products. This e-commerce site easily handles some tricky requirements – including different pricing and availability for Wholesalers, Vet Clinics, Pet Stores and the general public. Shipping, payment options and more also change depending on the user role.
FEAR FACTORY QUEENSTOWN
fearfactory.co.nz
The new Fear Factory site had been live in the wild for a little over a month when they called to say that online bookings had more than doubled. That’s a result! With e-commerce and a couple of fun design features this was a fun site to build for fantastic clients. I’m still too scared to try it.
QUEENSTOWN WEDDING HIRE

“We provide a stunning range of décor details and larger hire items to add that something special to your wedding day. If you need an extra helping hand on your wedding day, we have a number of setup assistance services that you might find useful.” An e-commerce site designed for quotes, not instant payment.
ISLAND TRAVEL NETWORK
islandtravelnetwork.com/
During the build of this site it grew from just 3 Fijian resorts to nearly 100 resorts across 5 different Pacific locations, with Deals, Cruises and so much more. A fairly simple site, functionality-wise, it is designed primarily as a lead-generator.

I approached Sam after getting a great recommendation from a client of his. He understood exactly what I was after and researched ideas for me to make it even better! He just ‘got’ what I wanted in terms of look and functionality and made sure I was set up for future ideas as well.
Highly recommended if you want an easy, seamless approach to building a fantastic website that suits your needs and brand.
