Chances are, you're here because you want a website. But you don't want just any website, you want a website that works are hard as you do. Are you sick and tired of so called "designers" making you a mediocre website? Do you want to stand out in a competitive market? If so, we're probably a great match for each other!
I can build you a fast, visually appealing and functional website that meet's your business's unique needs. All for a reasonable price.

Jocelyn Peach - Nursing ChampioNZ
I specialise in mobile-first development, which means that I design the site for small screens first, then make the website react to larger screens by scaling up and repositioning elements. This leads to a seamless experience for your customers on all screen sizes.
Currently, I cater towards small-to-medium sized businesses that are aiming for rapid growth. I can produce all sorts of sites like Blogs, Online Portals and Stores. I can also produce jaw-dropping animations to show your customers that you really mean business. Your project can also be delivered in phases to better align with cashflow needs or to test a concept out.

Your website should be both good looking and blazingly fast. I can do both.
Through years of trial and error, I know what works visually and what doesn't. For example: this site looks pretty good because every animation and stylistic choice have been made with years of experience. A visually appealing website helps build trust with your clients. When was the last time you bought something from a dodgy looking website?
My experience also means that I have a few tricks up my sleeve to ensure your website loads quickly. For some clients, a slow site can be a barrier to working with you. If you're looking for extreme speed, I can also write your backend (the part of the site that provides the actual functionality) in Rust - a programming language designed for speed.

This was my very first website for a client that I got to make completely from scratch. Throughout this project, I completely transformed the domain www.ppsl.nz from a placeholder website to something that could generate leads and advertise services to potential clients.
A second stage is planned with additional functionality. If you would like a good idea of my design capabilities, I strongly advise you to check it out.
The site was designed with mobile-first design principles, and looks good on all screen sizes. This philosophy ensures that you don't miss out on sales from mobile customers because of a poorly designed site. It was built using the SvelteKit framework, which gave me full control over appearance and functionality.

You -hopefully- don't deliver shoddy products to your customers, so why should your website look lazy? I use modern tooling to develop your websites to allow me to focus on improving your customers' experience instead of wasting time fighting the tooling. This leads to a win-win, you don't pay me for time unnecessarily spent while taming my tooling and customers experience a more polished website.
Currently, I use SvelteKit, TypeScript, GSAP and Tailwind CSS to develop projects. This toolset allows me to quickly develop visually appealing sites that meet your aesthetic and functional needs. I am also a pretty quick learner, and have picked up new tooling within a matter of hours to help clients.
You'll notice that none of the tools I prefer are drag and drop website builders. All of them require code in some form to be useful. I've found some of these website builders to be limiting and slow, by coding your website, I have more or less complete control over looks, feel and functionality. Websites written with code also have the potential to be much faster because of reduced overheads - impressing customers and saving your resources.
You put a lot of effort into your business. Don't let your site be a let-down.
I offer three main services to my clients covering all parts of your website's journey.
Website Development - As opposed to the design side, programming is really my strong point. I can deliver fast, efficient and secure programs. Instead of using a CMS to design your website, I write it in code to deliver you faster performance and a wider range of features.
I can do quite a few things, but here's a few common features I can do for you:
As a general rule of thumb, if it's been done before, I can probably do it for you. Websites where the website itself is what your paying for - like games, social media and streaming platforms - usually require a significant investment and might be in the range of NZD$20,000 upwards, but I have done this sort of project in the past. Feel free to email me at (Please enable JavaScript to view my email address, this helps reduce spam).
Website Deployment & Maintenance - I also know my way around all the tools necessary to turn your website from a prototype only accessible on my machine to a website visible throughout the whole internet.
Instead of offering managed hosting, I walk you through how to purchase your own server and domain name, then set it up on your behalf. This means that you have full control over your own website and can change whatever settings you like without having to go through me. Controlling your own server also means that if you find a better deal, you can capitalise on the savings!
In the unlikely event you face issues down the line, you're not on your own. I will help with any issues you may face down the line. For the most part, all this configuration is set and forget.
You can reach me at: (Please enable JavaScript to view my email address, this helps reduce spam).
Usually I arrange a video call to discuss your unique requirements and to give you an idea of the pricing.
Then, I'll prepare an itemised estimate as well as an agreement (negotiable) for the work I will perform. Once we have agreed, I will regularly check in with you for progress updates and feedback.
Feel free to email me with any questions you may have.
