Why choose WordPress?
WordPress is the most popular website system in the world, running well over 40% of all websites. That popularity is a big advantage for your business:
- full control: add pages, posts, products and forms whenever you like
- room to grow: thousands of plugins add features like bookings, memberships and online shops
- no lock-in: WordPress is open source, so your site can be hosted anywhere
- easy to find help: it's the system most web developers know
If your website needs to change often, carry lots of content or grow with your business, WordPress is usually the right choice. If you want something simpler and lower-maintenance, have a look at our custom built websites.
Not all WordPress sites are built the same.
WordPress can be a joy or a headache, depending on how it's built. We build ours so you can actually use it.
Easy, intuitive editing
We set up the editor around your content, so updating a page feels obvious, not like flying a plane.
Custom design
Designed and built for your business, with custom elements made to reflect who you are.
Only the plugins you need
Fewer plugins means a faster, more secure site with less to update and less that can break.
Secure and backed up
Hosted on our New Zealand servers with daily backups, firewalls and 24/7 monitoring.
Training included
ProStart sites include training, so you and your team can confidently make changes.
Optional updates
We can keep WordPress and your plugins up to date for $65 + GST per update, tested and checked.
