Websites
I enjoy creating beautiful, functional and search-engine friendly sites for small businesses, schools, community organisations and artists that meet your needs and are affordable without compromising on quality.
Explore some of the many websites I've created.

 This motel in Greymouth, NZ wanted a new website and updated photos of their rooms and facilities. Good thing I'm a photographer too, so could do a combined package for them. |  This talented quilter wanted a place to showcase and sell their work. They weren't sure of what they wanted when they started, so we worked together, taking as long as they needed, to produce a site that was perfect for their needs. |  Image-rich, this website is like a brochure for prospective clients, and is easily updated. If you want tuition afterwards, I am happy to do so, charging by the hour. |

 Dynamic with video backgrounds, and strong SEO to come in on Page 1 of Google results from the time it was published. If you don't need a large website but want to put your business in the public eye, something like this could work for you! |  The owner of this website was keen to learn how to create a website, so after putting the initial design together for her, I helped her learn what to do so she could manage it herself. If you want tuition afterwards, I am happy to do so, charging by the hour. |  Designed to showcase a place with lots of photos, this site also integrates external tools to help visitors see reviews and a booking calendar. If you want to expand your reach beyond just Airbnb or other selling sites that take a big chunk of your profit, let's talk! |
 This client wanted to use Google instead of another web design service. Many schools and organisations use Google Workplace, so want their websites to be under that too. Having worked in schools for many years, and creating countless school websites in my time, that's no problem for me. I'm also a Google Certified Educator at Levels 1 and 2. |  We wanted the work to be the star of this website, and to free the artist from worrying about maintaining it, so they could continue with what they do best - sculpting! They pay a small fee for me to update images when needed, which I'm happy to do. |  This website was a labour of love and gift to the community to create to showcase wedding vendors in my region. It is easily updated and people can search for services by type and area. If you have specific needs for your website, let's talk. I find creative solutions! |

Websites will range in price, depending on your budget and what you are after. You can expect to pay between NZ$500 to $1500 for the design. (About US$300 to $900.) There are domain name and website hosting fees, which are not huge, and don't go to me. I will talk through these with you to help you find out what best suits your needs. Once your website is up and running, you can then choose about the level of ongoing support for your site you would like, from running it yourself to letting me update it as needed. Up to you!
