Frequently Asked Questions
What makes What IF Web different from other Christchurch web agencies?
We're a small team, which means you deal directly with the people doing the work. No account managers. No handoffs. What IF Web is a Webflow Premium Partner based in Christchurch, building websites and brands for businesses locally and globally. See our work if you want to know what that looks like in practice.
How do I know if a Christchurch web developer is right for my business?
If your site is primarily a marketing tool and your team needs to be able to update it without technical help, a local Webflow developer is usually the right call. If you need complex backend functionality or a custom application, the conversation is different. We're happy to tell you which one applies to your situation.
What does a Christchurch web developer cost?
A professional business website built by a Christchurch agency typically runs $8,000 to $20,000. Basic templated sites start lower. For a full breakdown of what's involved at each price point, see our Christchurch website pricing guide.
Why should I hire a local Christchurch web developer instead of going offshore?
A local developer knows your market and has a reputation to protect in the same city you operate in. Offshore can look cheaper upfront, but time zone friction, communication overhead, and limited knowledge of the New Zealand market add up. Most businesses that go offshore end up paying a local to fix it anyway.
Is What IF Web based in Christchurch?
Yes. What IF Web is based on St Asaph Street in Christchurch and works with businesses locally and internationally. If you're based in Christchurch and want to meet in person, we're happy to do that.
Does What IF Web build on Webflow?
Yes. What IF Web is a Webflow Premium Partner based in Christchurch, New Zealand. We build on Webflow when it's the right fit for the project. See our case studies for examples, or get in touch to talk about your project.
Can clients update a Webflow site themselves?
Yes. Webflow's CMS is built for non-technical users. Clients can update content and publish new pages without touching code. Developers can also build draggable components that give clients layout flexibility without the risk of breaking the site.
