Web Development

Your website is often the first — and most scrutinised — touchpoint a potential client has with your business. We build web products that hold up under that scrutiny: fast, secure, and engineered with the kind of attention to detail that separates professional work from templated mediocrity.

Based in Wānaka, we work with clients across New Zealand and internationally, from early-stage startups to established enterprise organisations.

Attention to Detail

Good web development isn't just about getting something working — it's about getting it right. We review every component, every integration, and every edge case before it ships. No sloppy markup, no half-implemented features, no copy-pasted solutions that break six months down the line.

We choose our tools deliberately. SilverStripe CMS for clients who need a robust, flexible content platform. React and Next.js where performance and interactivity demand it. The right framework for your project — not whatever's easiest for us.

 
Speed

A slow website costs you business. Google penalises it. Users abandon it.

We optimise for real-world performance from the first line of code — not as an afterthought once the site is live. That means lean builds, properly sized assets, server-side rendering where it matters, and infrastructure tuned for your load profile.

Our sites consistently score well on Core Web Vitals, the performance metrics Google uses to assess user experience and rank pages in search results. Fast isn't a feature — it's the baseline.

 
Security

Security vulnerabilities are almost always the result of shortcuts — outdated dependencies, misconfigured permissions, input fields that weren't properly validated. We don't take shortcuts.

Every project includes security-conscious development practices as standard: input sanitisation, HTTPS enforcement, least-privilege access controls, dependency auditing, and sensible defaults throughout. For clients with higher risk profiles, we can provide hardened configurations, security review, and ongoing monitoring as part of a managed hosting package.

 
What We Build

SilverStripe CMS — Custom themes, complex data models, multi-site setups, and CMS upgrades. We're experienced SilverStripe developers with a track record of large-scale builds across New Zealand.
React & Next.js — Single-page apps, server-rendered frontends, and headless CMS integrations for when performance and interactivity are non-negotiable.
Progressive Web Apps — Offline capability, app-like experiences, and mobile-first delivery without the overhead of a native app.
API integrations — Connecting your web platform to payment gateways, ERPs, CRMs, third-party data sources, and custom internal systems.
Performance optimisation — Audits and fixes for existing sites struggling with load times, Core Web Vitals, or hosting bottlenecks.
Ongoing maintenance — CMS updates, security patches, feature additions, and technical support on a retainer or as-needed basis.

 

Who We Work With

We've delivered web projects for clients including RealNZ, EBOSS, Christchurch City Council, Otago Polytechnic, and Snowsports NZ — alongside a range of SMEs, startups, and professional services firms across Aotearoa.

Whether you're starting from scratch, rebuilding something that's fallen behind, or need a technical partner to take over an existing codebase, we're comfortable working at any stage of the product lifecycle.
