WordPress Development Services for NZ Businesses
Whether you need a new site, an online store or someone to sort out the site you already have, these are the jobs we take on.
New WordPress websites
Custom-designed business sites for trades, professional services, tourism operators and local brands, built on a lightweight theme instead of a bloated page-builder template.
WooCommerce stores
Online shops with GST-inclusive pricing, NZ shipping zones, and payment options such as Stripe, Windcave and PayPal, tested end to end before launch.
Site takeovers & fixes
Taking over a site from a previous developer? We audit it, fix broken plugins and layouts, and document how everything works.
Speed & Core Web Vitals
Slow sites lose enquiries. We trim plugins, optimise images and scripts, and set up caching so pages load quickly on mobile.
Migrations to WordPress
Moving from Wix, Squarespace or an old CMS, with every old URL redirected so you keep the Google rankings you have earned.
Care plans
Monthly updates, off-site backups, uptime and security monitoring, and small content changes when you need them.
Choosing a Platform
WordPress, Shopify or a Custom Build?
WordPress
Best for service businesses, content-led sites and WooCommerce stores where you want full ownership and no per-sale platform fees.
Shopify
Best for stores that want a fully hosted platform and are comfortable with monthly and transaction fees.
Custom build
Best for portals, booking platforms and software with complex logic. See our custom software development for NZ.
What NZ sites need to get right
- 15% GST shown and calculated correctly
- NZ shipping zones or courier rates
- Fast load times on mobile networks
- Privacy policy and consent aligned with the Privacy Act 2020
- Accessible forms, headings and colour contrast
- Google Business Profile and Search Console set up at launch
Working Remotely
How We Work With New Zealand Clients
We don't have an office in New Zealand and we won't pretend to. What we offer instead is a clear process: a written scope and fixed quote, calls booked in your business hours, a staging site you can check at any time, and a named contact for the whole project.

We agree pages, features and integrations in writing, then send a fixed quote.
02
Design
Mobile and desktop designs for key pages, reviewed with you.
03
Build on staging
Theme, content, WooCommerce and integrations on a private staging site.
04
Test & launch
Forms, payments, speed, redirects and SEO checks, then go live.
05
Train & support
A walkthrough for your team and an optional care plan.
FAQs
WordPress Development in NZ: Common Questions
Do you work with New Zealand businesses remotely?
Yes. We are a remote team and do not have a New Zealand office. We schedule calls in your business hours, share progress on a staging site and keep everything in writing.
Should I choose WordPress, Shopify or a custom website?
WordPress suits content-led and lead-generation sites and small to mid-sized WooCommerce stores you want full control over. Shopify suits stores that want a fully hosted platform and accept monthly and transaction fees. A custom build suits platforms with complex logic. We will recommend one based on your requirements.
Can WooCommerce handle GST and New Zealand payments?
Yes. WooCommerce can apply 15% GST, show GST-inclusive prices and produce tax invoices. Stripe, Windcave and PayPal are common payment options for New Zealand stores, and shipping can be set up by region or with courier rate plugins.
How much does a WordPress website cost in New Zealand?
It depends on the number of unique page designs, e-commerce, integrations and how much content is migrated or written. We quote each project individually with an itemised, fixed quote.
Can you take over or fix an existing WordPress site?
Yes. We take over sites built by other developers to fix speed problems, broken plugins, security issues and outdated themes, and to keep them updated.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We build with editable blocks and give your team a short walkthrough, so you can update text, images, blog posts and products without a developer.
