★★★★★
We have had a great experience with Ian and the Team helping us with the hosting and revamp of our website and increase the SEO and make other tweaks as well. The advice received has been invaluable to us in an area we don’t have real experience. Communication has been great and we know we are working with someone we can trust. Highly Recommended.
★★★★★
We worked with Ian to build our company website. His ability to translate what we required and then develop the framework through to the finished site was amazing. Ian has a unique skill for design and the technical development required. We are very pleased with the end result. John – Chief Compliance Officer, Healthpoint Ltd.
★★★★★
Ian is as delightful as he is experienced. I've gone from fretting about technical issues to feeling in completely safe hands. I have recommended him to my friends and I'll recommend him to you.
Web Development FAQs
A few good things to know about web development in Auckland and beyond.
One team handles both the front end (what visitors see) and the back end (server, database, logic). Nothing gets lost in a handover, so the design is buildable and the code is efficient.
WordPress — with WooCommerce for stores — is flexible and cost-effective for most business sites when it's built properly. For complex logic or specific requirements, a custom build (SilverStripe or our own CMS) can fit better. We recommend the right tool for you, not the one that suits us.
Yes — 100%. We build on open-source foundations and hand you the code, data and IP outright. No lock-in, no ongoing licence fees; host it anywhere and hire any developer.
Security is built in from the first line of code and continued at the server level — hardened config, controlled access, current software and active monitoring. We run ~100 sites on our own servers, so we see real-world threats daily and design against them.
Every build gets a Cardo site report (our own platform) — a Site Health Score across speed, SEO, security and AI-readiness. We build to a high score and keep it there, so u0022fastu0022 is a number you can see.
Most slow sites carry weight they don't need — page-builder bloat, heavy plugins, unoptimised images and queries. We rebuild on clean code, tune caching and queries, and treat Core Web Vitals as a requirement.
