Webhandler NZ — websites for local businesses in Hawke's Bay, Christchurch and beyond
Make it easy for customers to call, book and order from your business.
Fast, phone-first websites for local businesses looking to upgrade their style and look. Every site is custom-made to fit the style you want, never a template.
Most local business websites take about 10 seconds to load on a phone. Mine load in 1 to 2.
Based on 18 Hawke's Bay business websites I tested with Google's Lighthouse, October 2026.
Nine example sites

Not from Hawke's Bay? That's fine. The demos are set here because it's home, and the businesses are made up. I work with businesses anywhere, over the phone or a video call.
Google Boost: get picked on Google Maps
Most people find a café, mechanic or shop on Google Maps before they ever see a website. Google Boost is me looking after that listing for you, with or without a website.
- Set up properly. The right hours, categories, photos, menu and booking links.
- More reviews. A QR card for your counter so happy customers can review you in seconds, and I reply to every review.
- Kept fresh. Two posts a month and a short report showing calls, direction requests and views.
$119 setup, then $29 a month.
What it costs
Founding-client rates for my first ten clients. Prices are in NZ dollars, with no GST on top. Six-month minimum, then month to month with 30 days' notice.

Not included, quoted first if you want them: extra pages ($69 each), logo design (from $199), writing your text from scratch (from $139), and professional photos. Full terms

Questions
How long does it take?
No more than 10 days once I have your logo, photos, and menu or prices.
Is GST added on top?
No. I'm not GST-registered, so the price you see is the price you pay.
Is there a contract?
Monthly plans have a six-month minimum, then it's month to month with 30 days' notice. Pay once and there's no minimum.
I already have a website. What happens to it?
You keep your domain, so customers and Google find the new site at the same address. I bring over anything worth keeping and make sure old links still work.
Who owns the website?
You do. The domain is in your name, and if you leave, you take everything with you.
Can you get me to number one on Google?
Nobody can honestly promise that. I promise the work, and a short monthly report showing what changed.
