Website Design for NZ Small Businesses, AI-Built to Score in the High 90s
Media Giant is a Wellington web design company building fast, SEO-ready websites for New Zealand small businesses. AI does the heavy build work, our team polishes every page, and content writing and a photoshoot are included. No upfront fee on monthly plans. No stock photos.
AI-built web design. Human polish.
The machine does the heavy lifting. Andy, Ryan and the team make it sound like you. Nothing goes live unreviewed, and nothing costs extra for the privilege.
The brief is human
A real conversation about what you sell and who buys it.
The build is AI
Pages, markup and first-draft copy assembled in hours, not weeks. That speed is why monthly plans carry no build fee.
The polish is human
Voice, photography and SEO reworked by our team. Andy and Ryan sign off.
The launch is measured
Speed and security tested before handover. Nothing ships slow.
A website design that gets found, loads fast and turns visits into enquiries.
Most small business websites look fine and do very little. They load slowly on a phone, they are vague about what the business does and where, and the contact form emails nobody. Good web design fixes all three before it worries about colours.
Every site we build is designed around the searches your customers already make, written by our team rather than left to you, and photographed at your premises. Whether you need a brand new website or a website redesign, the brief is the same: be found, be understood inside ten seconds, and make getting in touch easy. If you are local, see what we do for web design in Wellington.
Designed to be found
One page per service, written around real search terms, with clean headings, metadata and structured data. Moving from an old site? Redirects keep the rankings you already have.
Built to load fast
Modern build, compressed images and no plugin bloat. Every site is tested on Google PageSpeed Insights before handover, with typical launch scores in the high 90s.
Made to convert

With us, a small business website is $250 a month with nothing upfront, or a one-off $1,500 (Entry) or $2,500 (Standard) build followed by $50 a month for hosting and support. All prices are ex GST. The build fee is waived on the $850/mo Website + SEO and Blogging plan and the $1,100/mo Full Digital plan. Every package is on our pricing page, and our guide to what a small business website should cost in NZ compares the wider market.
Most sites go from brief to live in days, not months. AI handles the heavy build work; our team refines design, copy and SEO before launch.
On the Monthly path, correct: a flat fee from $250/mo (ex GST) covers the build, hosting, support and everything listed above, and the term opens up after 12 months. If you would rather own the build outright, it is $1,500 for the Entry site or $2,500 for the Standard site, then $50/mo.
AI generates the structure, code and first-draft content at speed. Then Andy, Ryan and the team review every page for design, copywriting, SEO and performance before anything goes live. Nothing ships unreviewed.
Yes. Your domain and content are yours. If you leave after the open term, we'll help you transition.
We rebuild it on our modern stack, keep your rankings with proper redirects, and almost always improve your PageSpeed score dramatically. Send us the URL and we'll audit it free.
Included in the plan, no separate invoice. We shoot on location at your premises anywhere in greater Wellington, from the Kāpiti Coast to the Wairarapa: a workshop in Lower Hutt, a clinic in Newtown, a storefront on Cuba Street. Further afield we arrange the shoot with you when we plan the build, and it is still included. Real photos of real people beat stock every time, and the photos are yours to use on social and in ads too.
