Custom website design that does not look like a template, paired with the engineering and CRO discipline to make it convert. Built in Auckland, shipped fast, owned by you.
Quick Answer
Website design is where most digital marketing investments live or die. A site that loads slowly, looks generic, or confuses visitors on what to do next will burn every paid click and every organic visit you send to it. At Kiwitech Labs in Auckland, we design websites the way performance marketers wish they could — with conversion behaviour, page speed, and brand consistency built into the design phase, not bolted on after launch.

Selected Work

Every engagement includes: user research (3-5 customer interviews, GA4 audit if you have an existing site, competitor teardown), strategy & wireframes (information architecture, page-by-page wireframes, conversion path mapping), visual design (custom design system in Figma — typography, colour, components, hover states, dark/light themes if relevant), engineering (the build itself in the platform we agreed on, plus all CMS configuration), QA (cross-browser, cross-device, accessibility WCAG 2.1 AA), and launch support (DNS migration, redirect mapping for SEO, GA4 + GTM + Search Console wired up, training session for your team).
Post-launch, we offer optional monthly care plans that include uptime monitoring, security updates, content edits, analytics reporting, and CRO experiments. Most clients keep us on for the first 90 days minimum to bed the site in and iterate on the data — that is where the conversion lift actually happens.
Pricing starts at NZ$1,500 for small business websites (5-8 pages, custom design, WordPress or Webflow), NZ$3,500 for standard 10-15 page sites with a custom CMS, and NZ$8,000+ for premium custom builds with bespoke design and integrations. Enterprise builds with complex integrations from NZ$15,000+. We give fixed quotes after discovery — no scope-creep surprises.

Next.js (React) — our default for marketing sites, SaaS, and headless e-commerce. Fastest performance, best for Core Web Vitals, infinitely customisable. We host on Vercel.
Shopify (and headless Shopify on Next.js) — our default for e-commerce. Theme customisation, custom app development, and full headless builds for brands that need design freedom Shopify themes cannot provide.
WordPress — still the right choice for content-heavy publishers, businesses that need a familiar CMS for non-technical editors, and sites with complex multi-author workflows. We build on Bricks, Oxygen, or fully custom themes — not page builders that bloat the page.
Webflow — for corporate sites where design freedom and a no-code CMS for marketing are both priorities. Great for fast iteration without engineering involvement.
Silverstripe — we maintain Silverstripe expertise for NZ government and enterprise clients who require it. Not our default recommendation but we ship it well when needed.
Why Choose Us
Our website design process is research-led, not template-led. Every project starts with user research (interviews with three to five of your actual customers, plus analytics review of any existing site), a competitor teardown of your top three rivals, and a wireframe phase that resolves the page hierarchy before a designer opens Figma. The visual design phase then layers a custom identity — typography, imagery, micro-interactions — onto a structure we have already proven works.
Original, hand-crafted design systems in Figma — not template adaptations. Typography, colour, components, micro-interactions all designed for your brand specifically.
Designed and engineered for mobile first (where 60-80% of NZ traffic lives), then enhanced for tablet and desktop. Touch targets, scroll behaviour, and load order all optimised for thumb-driven browsing.
Every page designed around a conversion path mapped from real user research. Hero, navigation, CTAs, and forms structured to move visitors toward the action that matters.
Built to pass Google Core Web Vitals on day one — LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1. Page speed compounds across SEO, ad quality scores, and conversion rate.
Whichever CMS makes most sense (WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Sanity, Storyblok, Next.js + custom) — configured so non-technical team members can edit content without breaking the design system.
Schema markup, XML sitemap, robots.txt, GA4, GTM, Search Console, and conversion tracking all configured at launch. Not retro-fitted three months later.
Industries
Kiwitech works with Auckland and wider New Zealand businesses across 25+ industries, but four verticals dominate our roster: property (Auckland developers, apartment launches, agency networks), education (private schools, tertiary providers, edtech), healthcare (specialist groups, dental and dermatology clinics, allied-health practices), and food and beverage (CBD and Ponsonby cafes, Britomart fine dining, food-court chains, cloud kitchens). SaaS, D2C retail, fashion boutiques across Newmarket and Ponsonby, and South Auckland industrial manufacturers round out the next tier of growing accounts.

FAQ
Small business websites (5-8 pages, custom design) start at NZ$1,500 and ship in 3-4 weeks. Standard 10-15 page sites with a custom CMS sit at NZ$3,500. Premium custom builds with bespoke design and integrations from NZ$8,000. Shopify e-commerce from NZ$2,500. Headless Shopify on Next.js from NZ$15,000.

Depends on your business. Content-heavy publishers and businesses with non-technical editors → WordPress. E-commerce → Shopify (or headless Shopify on Next.js for design freedom). Corporate marketing sites where design freedom matters → Webflow. SaaS, marketing sites, and headless e-commerce → Next.js. We make the recommendation in the first call based on your team, budget, and roadmap.
Both. About 60% of our website projects are redesigns of existing sites. We start with an audit of the current site (analytics, heatmaps, customer feedback), identify the top conversion leaks, and redesign with those in mind. Redesigns typically deliver 40-80% conversion rate improvement at the same traffic level.
Yes — we design and engineer for Core Web Vitals from day one. We treat a Core Web Vitals pass as a launch requirement, not a nice-to-have, and we test against it before a site goes live. We use modern image formats (WebP, AVIF), lazy-load below-the-fold content, ship minimal JavaScript, and host on infrastructure tuned for speed (Vercel for Next.js, optimised WP hosting for WordPress).
Yes. Every site we build includes CMS training for your marketing team — typically a 90-minute live session where we walk through editing pages, publishing posts, swapping images, and updating navigation. We also leave you with written documentation. Most clients handle their own edits after handover; others prefer to keep us on a content care plan.
Yes, always. You own the code (GitHub repo handed over), the design files (Figma), the CMS account, the hosting account, and the analytics. We do not gate anything. If you ever leave us, you take all of it with you and any other agency or in-house team can pick up where we left off.
Yes — our small-business website package is designed specifically for Auckland businesses needing a custom-looking site at a startup budget. Five to eight pages, custom design (not a template), WordPress or Webflow build, NZ$1,500 fixed, shipped in 3-4 weeks. About 60% of our website projects fit this bucket — it's the most popular package we sell.
