Pay for what you need
The preview is free, and the quote is based on the pages you need, not a package stuffed with extras. A clear one-page site is often plenty to start with.
Small business website design, NZ
Websites Built for Small Businesses
You run a business, not a web project. Wots Office builds professional websites for small businesses across New Zealand, and we handle all the technical bits for you. You see a working preview of your website before you pay anything.
Sound familiar?
The things small business owners actually tell us.
"I'm not technical."
Nothing to learn
No website builder, no logins, no plugins. You look at a link and reply to an email. We do the rest, including setting up your web address.
"I need it to look professional, fast."
Something real, early
We don't start with questionnaires and mood boards. We start by building, so the first thing you see is an actual website for your business.
"My customers are all on their phones."
Phones come first
Every page is designed for a small screen first, then scaled up for laptops. Text is readable without zooming and buttons are easy to tap.
"I want enquiries, not just a pretty site."
Built to be contacted
Tap to call, tap for directions, your hours and a clear next step right at the top. The things people need before they get in touch.
"I want to show up on Google."
The basics, done properly
Clear page titles, a proper description of your business and fast pages. No one can honestly promise you the top spot, but a good website gives Google something to work with.
The essentials
What goes on a small business website?
Less than you'd think. Most customers visit your website to answer a few quick questions, and a good small business site answers them without making anyone hunt.
- What you do and where. One clear sentence at the top, so people know they're in the right place.
- Your services or products. Enough detail to help someone choose you, without an essay.
- How to reach you. Phone, email and a tap-to-call button that works on mobile.
- When and where. Opening hours, your address or the areas you cover, and a map link.
- Why you. A short bit about you, plus reviews or photos of your work if you have them.
You don't need to write any of it. We put together a first draft from your business details, and you tell us what to change.

Questions
Small business questions, straight answers.
Do I need to write the words for my website?
No. We write a first draft using your business details. You read it and tell us what's wrong or missing, which is much easier than starting from a blank page.
Do I need to own a web address already?
No. If you already have one, we can use it. If not, we can set one up for you, like yourbusiness.co.nz, and it's yours.
What if I don't like the preview?
Tell us what you'd change and we'll update it. If it's still not right for you, that's fine. There's nothing to pay.
I'm not in Auckland. Can you still help?
Yes. We're based in Auckland, but the whole process happens by email, so it works the same wherever you are in New Zealand.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how many pages you need and whether you already have a web address. The preview is free, and we send you a simple quote before you decide. More on pricing.
