Marketing Websites

All Roads Lead Back to Your Website

"Build it and they will come" isn't enough anymore. Marketing these days is the chaos of chasing which channels are working and where your brand is showing up, from search and social to ads and even AI.

But What IF we told you your website still matters?

It's the one channel you fully control, and the one place every other channel points back to. Even AI tools read your website to decide what to think about your business. We help businesses plan, design and build websites that're worth the trip, wherever their visitors come from.

There's More To a Website Than You'd Think!

We’ve picked up a few skills that can help your site punch above its weight.

Website Design & Development

Your website should look and feel like your brand, which means you will need a website that visitors understand immediately. Our web design and web development services cover responsive design that works across every device, with animations and high quality visuals that bring your brand to life. We develop most marketing websites in Webflow, meaning once your site is live your team can update content and make changes without any help.

Website Strategy

Every project starts with understanding your business. We run an initial discovery meeting to map out your goals, review your current site, and research your competitors. From there we define your sitemap, plan your content, and set up a clear strategy your whole team can see and sign off on. Every great website starts with good foundations. You can learn more about our Website Strategy here. You can learn more about Copywriting here.

SEO & AI Search

Every website we develop has solid SEO foundations baked in. Clean structure and proper headings that give your content the best shot at ranking. Our prime focus however is AI Search, making sure your brand shows up when someone asks an AI tool like ChatGPT a question your business should be answering.

CMS Development

Your website should be something your team can manage, not something that sends you back to the agency every time a page needs updating. Our CMS development sets up a content system tailored to how your team works, whether that's Webflow or Strapi. Your marketing manager can update pages and publish new content without waiting on a developer.

Analytics and Web Tracking Setup

Knowing where your visitors come from and what they do on your site is critical for making good marketing decisions. Our analytics and tracking setup covers Google Tag Manager and GA4, giving your marketing manager the data they need to know what is working and where to focus next.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marketing Websites

What is a website strategy process?

A website strategy process is the discovery and planning phase that happens before any design or development work begins. It typically includes stakeholder workshops, user research, competitive analysis, and a technical audit of any existing site. The output is a strategic framework that guides the entire project and reduces the risk of building the wrong thing.

What's the difference between a templated and a custom website?

A templated site starts from a pre-built design that gets adjusted to fit your brand. It's faster and cheaper but has limitations in how distinctive it can look and how well it scales. A custom site is designed from scratch around your brand and your audience, which costs more upfront and tends to perform better over time.

How much does a web design company cost in New Zealand?

A professional B2B website typically runs $8,000 to $20,000 with a reputable agency. Template-based builds start lower. Enterprise and custom builds go higher. For a full breakdown, see our website pricing guide.

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.

What is a marketing website?

A marketing website is a lead-generation site built to convert visitors into enquiries, trials, or customers. Unlike a brochure site, which exists to describe a business, or a product website, which lets users interact with a live application, a marketing website is optimised for conversion: strong messaging, clear calls to action, integrated forms, tracking, and content that supports SEO and paid campaigns. For most B2B and SaaS companies, the marketing website is the top of the sales funnel and the single most measurable channel the marketing team owns.

What's the difference between a marketing website and a product website?

A marketing website sells the product. A product website is the product. Marketing sites focus on messaging, positioning, lead capture, and content that supports SEO and campaigns. Product sites (or product portals) sit behind a login. They're where the custom web application lives. Most SaaS companies need both: a fast, editable marketing site for growth, and a separate product surface for the app itself.
