#1 Rated Web Development Agency in Christchurch
Web Development Agency in Christchurch
Web development for Christchurch businesses — Next.js, WordPress, Shopify, headless e-commerce, custom integrations. Built remotely from our Mt Eden Auckland studio with quarterly in-person visits.
Quick Answer
Web development for Christchurch businesses spans the same stack we run from our Mt Eden Auckland studio: Next.js for marketing sites and SaaS, WordPress for content-led publishers and small businesses, Shopify (and headless Shopify on Next.js) for e-commerce, and Webflow for design-led brochure builds. The engineering standards do not change because the client is in Christchurch — Core Web Vitals pass on launch day, accessibility WCAG 2.1 AA, security hardening, server-side analytics, and proper deployment pipelines on every project.

CASE 01
D2C Bags & Accessories
5× organic traffic
3.2× ROAS
launched in 8 weeks
Premium Bag D2C Brand
full e-commerce build + 5× organic traffic
A premium bag and backpack label came to us with a Shopify theme that converted at 0.6%, paid ads burning through ad spend with no attribution, and zero organic search presence. We rebuilt the storefront on a custom Next.js + headless Shopify stack, redesigned the product pages around a clean editorial layout, shot every SKU in our in-house studio, and shipped 40+ SEO-optimised category and lookbook pages. Within 90 days organic traffic grew 5×, Meta and Google ROAS lifted from 1.4× to 3.2×, and average order value climbed 28% on the back of bundle merchandising and improved size-fit content.

FAQ
Web Development Agency in Christchurch — common questions.
Do you work with Christchurch businesses remotely?
+
Yes — most of our Christchurch clients are delivered remotely via Slack, Google Meet, Notion, and GitHub. Quarterly in-person visits for retained engagements. The remote workflow is well-tested — about a third of our portfolio is delivered this way.
Which web development platform should I use?
+
Depends on the business. Next.js for marketing sites, SaaS, and high-design brands. WordPress for content-led publishers and small businesses needing easy self-editing. Shopify for e-commerce. Headless Shopify on Next.js for e-commerce brands needing design freedom or performance. We recommend the right platform in the first call.
Do you handle migrations from legacy CMSes?
+
Yes — we migrate from older WordPress sites, Squarespace, Wix, Drupal, Joomla, Silverstripe, and custom systems regularly. Migration includes content extraction, redirect mapping (preserving SEO), and a parallel-run period so you can compare conversion before fully switching over.
Can you build custom integrations with our ERP or CRM?
+
Yes — common integrations include HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, Xero, MYOB, and custom in-house ERPs. We have built bespoke API integrations for clients in Christchurch agritech, Auckland SaaS, and Wellington fintech.

Shopify starter stores from NZ$2,500. Standard custom-CMS site NZ$3,500. Premium Next.js or WordPress builds NZ$5,000-$12,000. Enterprise builds with complex integrations from NZ$15,000+. All quoted fixed after a paid discovery.
