Websites
Your Website, your wayA website doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. I can help you create something that looks great, works well, and — best of all — that you can manage yourself. Whether you're a small business, a community group, or someone with a passion to share, I'll work with you one-on-one right here in Whangārei to get your website looking and feeling just right.
Learn to manage your own website
I can guide you through the process of building a website that suits your style, time, and budget — including free options that are surprisingly capable. We'll cover the essentials: layout, text, images, what is SEO, and how to keep the website up to date yourself. No jargon, no rushing — just friendly, practical help at your pace. Available at your place or mine, by appointment, Monday to Friday. Need me to do it for you?
I can take care of the design and initial setup — you just bring your content. We can talk through options that best suit your business or project. You keep the ownership and copyright, and I'm available to help with website updates if needed. Get in touch to talk through what you have in mind. |
