Frequently Asked Questions
Capabilities & Scope
What exact services do you offer?
We provide a complete, end-to-end design and digital ecosystem for your business. Over the last three decades, we have refined our core services to support small-to-medium enterprises across New Zealand:
Brand Identity & Logo Design: Crafting memorable logos, colour palettes, and full brand guidelines.
Web Design & Development: Building high-performing, mobile-first websites tailored to your business goals.
Print & Physical Media: Designing vehicle graphics, interior office branding, corporate stationery, and high-impact signage.
Digital Marketing & SEO: Creating targeted Google Ads landing pages, Facebook advertising campaigns, and foundational search engine optimisation.
Do you work with brand-new startups, or only established businesses?
We work with both. Whether you are a brand-new startup looking to hit the market with a professional edge, or an established Kiwi company requiring a major rebrand and digital overhaul, we scale our creative approach to match your stage of business. We take pride in building relationships that last—many of our clients have partnered with us for well over a decade.
We need more than just a website—can you handle things like fleet vehicle graphics or physical signage?
Absolutely. We are true brand guardians, meaning we ensure your visual identity transitions seamlessly from the digital screen to the physical street. We regularly manage comprehensive branding rollouts that include fleet vehicle wraps, lobby signage, architectural graphics, and uniform designs so your business looks cohesive at every touchpoint.
The Process & Collaboration
What is it like working with a boutique husband-and-wife studio vs. a large agency?
You get direct access to over 30 years of industry experience without the agency overhead, corporate layers, or junior account managers. When you call us, you speak directly to the creatives doing the actual work on your brand and code. This agile approach allows us to deliver deeply personal service, rapid response times, and a genuine investment in your long-term business growth.
How long does a typical branding or website project take?
A standard, comprehensive website development or rebranding project typically takes between 2 to 6 weeks from our initial strategy session to launch day. This timeline relies heavily on prompt feedback loops and content readiness, which we help keep on track using clear, straightforward milestones.
Do I need to provide all the website copy and photography, or do you handle that?
We can handle it entirely. We know busy business owners rarely have time to write paragraphs of text or take high-res imagery, so we offer professional copywriting and environmental brand photography to tell your story authentically. If you already have existing assets, we will gladly audit, polish, and optimise them to ensure they align perfectly with your new design.
Pricing, Ownership & Tech
How do you structure your pricing?
We believe in absolute transparency with zero hidden surprises for your cash flow. We provide clear, upfront, fixed-scope quotes for major projects like website builds and rebrands so you know exactly what your investment is from day one. For ongoing technical updates, digital marketing tweaks, or ad-hoc design collateral, we offer flexible, predictable support models.
Once the website is built, who actually owns it?
You do—100%. We never build on restrictive, proprietary systems that hold your business hostage. Your domain, your website platform, your custom design assets, and all hosted content belong entirely to you, giving you total freedom and ultimate asset control from the moment the project concludes.
Will I be able to update my own website, or do I need to call you for every minor change?
You will have full capability to make updates yourself. We build using intuitive, modern platforms that make it easy to edit text, swap out images, or add new portfolio items. Of course, if you ever get stuck or simply prefer us to handle updates while you run your business, we are only a quick phone call away.
Results & Post-Launch
How do you ensure our new website actually ranks on Google?
We don't just build pretty digital brochures; we build high-performing lead generators. Every single website we deploy comes with essential, built-in local SEO best practices baked directly into the foundation:
Clean, semantic code structure and rapid mobile loading speeds.
Properly mapped page hierarchies, meta descriptions, and image alt tags.
Strategic keyword integration tailored directly to your local target audience.
Heading
Enter your content...
We don't just hand over the keys and disappear into the night. We offer ongoing website care and growth partnerships that include secure hosting, routine security updates, backup management, and continuous optimisation for your digital marketing campaigns.
We are based outside of Auckland—can we still work together?
Definitely. While we love working face-to-face with local businesses around Auckland, we work seamlessly with clients right across New Zealand. Between phone calls, video meetings, and shared digital workspaces, distance is never a barrier to creating exceptional work together.
