Havelock North is a village with a city's worth of small businesses. Boutique shops, cafés and restaurants around the village centre, professional practices and health clinics, wineries and food producers on the edge of town, and trades who work across the whole of Hawke's Bay. Te Mata Peak brings walkers and visitors, and the schools bring families from well outside the area.
We work with Havelock North businesses remotely, over the phone and on video. We don't have an office in the village and we won't claim one. What you get is a fixed price you can read before you call, a site planned around how your customers search, and someone who keeps it current after it goes live.

- Ongoing care: hosting, changes, security and seasonal updates handled for you

Questions
Do I need to be in Havelock North to work with you?
No. Most of the work happens over the phone, video calls and email, so it doesn't matter where your office or workshop is. What matters is that we understand your customers, and we take the time to.
How much does a website cost for a Havelock North business?
Our projects land between $5k and $10k + GST, with branding, design and an SEO plan included. A DIY site on Squarespace or Wix costs a few hundred dollars a year in plan and domain fees, but you do the building and upkeep yourself. Our cost guide has the full breakdown with sources.
Do you build sites for boutique shops, cafés and wineries?
Yes. Opening hours, menus, what's in stock or in season, online orders and directions, on a site that works on a phone in the street and is easy to keep current.
Should Havelock North have its own page if I already rank in Hastings?
Yes. Havelock North is a few minutes from Hastings, but people search it as a separate place. A dedicated page with real local detail gives you a chance in those searches without weakening your Hastings page.
