Work we have shipped

Three kinds of site. Same habit: learn the business, then build what it needs.

A retail and local service website.

Retail and local service

  1. Hours, address, and what you can actually get done.
  2. Written for locals, motels, Airbnbs, and people passing through.
  3. Set up to be found in Google, not only a pretty homepage.
  4. The real shop on Karamea Road, not stock pictures.
  5. A clear next step — where they are and when they are open.
A global software product website.

Global SaaS

  1. Software for customers, not a brochure for one business.
  2. Accounts, plans, and signup on the site.
  3. Payments through Stripe.
  4. Built for customers in more than one country.
  5. Proof we ship product — guidebook, concierge, analytics — not a hosting plan you rent.
A membership website for a professional network.

Membership site

  1. A home for a professional network, in English and te reo.
  2. Makes the case for joining — global access, travel funding, advocacy — without selling it at the till.
  3. Join is an application. The board reviews it. Payment is invoiced off the website.
  4. A travel-card calculator so people heading overseas know the deadline.
  5. WordPress they own, hosted in New Zealand.

New website

A WordPress site you own, on Bear Host in New Zealand. Simple brochure, a working service site, or a shop.

New Builds

Already have a site?

Move WordPress onto NZ hosting, or leave Squarespace or Wix. You keep the files.

Existing sites

What we can do

The site is the front door. Around it we connect the tools you already run, and add only what the job needs.

A site you own

Custom WordPress on Bear Host in New Zealand. Not a rented builder.

Stripe payments

Deposits and full payments through Stripe, the globally recognised payment gateway customers already trust.

Bookings on your calendar

Jobs land where you already work. Google Calendar, or the diary you use now.

AI where it earns its keep

A guest concierge is one example. It can just as easily quote, answer FAQs, or sit on the front desk — trained on your rules, hours, and products. We scope the job. We do not sell one AI widget to everyone.

Google and AI search

So the business is named when someone searches, or when they ask ChatGPT or Gemini.

Google Cloud and the rest of the stack

Workspace, Drive, and Cloud APIs when the site must talk to Google. CRM, inventory, and event systems when that is where the truth lives.
