Richmond is the main town of Tasman District and home to the district council, and it has grown into a busy business centre in its own right. Retail along Queen Street and around Richmond Mall, trades, engineering and light industry towards Hope and Appleby, and horticulture, orchards and vineyards spreading out across the Waimea Plains.
Further out, Māpua, Motueka and the road to Kaiteriteri and Golden Bay are full of hospitality, accommodation and tourism businesses that live and die by the summer season and by how easy they are to find on a phone.
We work with Richmond and Tasman businesses remotely, over the phone and on video. We don't have an office in Tasman and we won't claim one. You get 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.
What we'd do for your business
- A brand and website that match the quality of what you make, grow or build
- A page of its own for Richmond, separate from Nelson, because that is how people here search
- For trades, engineering and rural services: the work you do, the areas you cover and a quick way to ask for a quote
- For orchards, vineyards and food producers: what's in season, where to buy, and orders or cellar-door hours

Questions
Do I need to be in Richmond or Tasman 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 Richmond or Tasman business?
Our projects land between $5k and $10k + GST, with branding, design, the build 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 NZ cost guide has the full breakdown with sources.
Do you build sites for orchards, vineyards and rural businesses?
Yes. What you grow or make, when it's available, where to buy it, and an easy way for trade buyers and visitors to get in touch, on a site that loads quickly on a rural connection.
Is Richmond part of Nelson?
Not for council purposes. Richmond is the seat of Tasman District Council, while Nelson has its own city council, even though the two towns run into each other. People search them separately, so a business serving both does best with a page for each.
