Answers to the questions we get asked most often.
It depends on scope and complexity. A brand identity project starts around $15,000 NZD. A custom website typically ranges from $25,000 to $80,000 NZD. SaaS products and complex applications start at $60,000 NZD. We provide detailed quotes after an initial discovery conversation.
Brand identity: 6–8 weeks. Custom website: 8–14 weeks. Digital product: 12–24 weeks depending on complexity. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the proposal stage and keep you updated throughout.

We use modern frameworks and tools: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Node.js, Shopify, WordPress, Figma, and more. We choose the stack based on your project's needs, not our preferences.
Yes. We offer retainer-based support packages that include hosting, maintenance, content updates, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement. Most of our clients stay on a retainer after launch.
Of course. Many clients come to us with an established brand that needs a new website or digital product. We'll work within your existing brand guidelines while pushing the quality forward.
We build in revision rounds at every stage. Our design phase includes two rounds of revisions for major concepts and unlimited minor refinements. We don't move to development until you're happy with the design.
Every website we build is optimised for search engines by default: clean code, fast load times, proper meta tags, schema markup, and mobile-first design. We also offer dedicated SEO strategy and content services as an add-on.
