Common Questions
How much does a professional website cost in New Zealand?
YourHQ websites start at $3,800 NZD + GST one-time, with monthly Caretaker care from $149/mo NZD. Traditional agencies typically charge $5,000 to $15,000 NZD upfront, then bill per change. DIY tools like Wix and Squarespace cost $30 to $50/mo NZD, but require 40 to 80 hours of your own time. We sit between the two with a productised, one-conversation model.
How long does it take to build a website in New Zealand?
Most YourHQ clients are live within 1 to 2 weeks. The whole thing takes less than 30 minutes of your time. One Drive-Home Interview, one round of copy feedback, then we build, preview, and go live.
Do you build websites outside Whangārei or Northland?
Yes. YourHQ is based in Whangārei and works with clients across all of New Zealand. Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Tauranga, the lot. The whole process happens remotely. Phone, email, and texts. No travel needed.
What makes YourHQ different from a traditional NZ web design agency?
Three things. First, every site is hand-coded by Lian personally. No outsourcing, no junior staff, no templates. Second, the Caretaker model means I stay on after launch. Hosting, security, on-demand updates. I don't build and disappear. Third, the price is fixed and known upfront.
What if I already have a website?
Most of my clients do. I start fresh, in your voice, to where you are now. Your old site stays up until launch day, then we transition the domain across.
Do I own the website I pay for?
Completely. Your domain, content, and design are yours unconditionally from day one. If you ever leave, I provide a full static export. Nothing held hostage.
Will my New Zealand website rank on Google?
Every YourHQ site is built for both standard search (SEO) and AI-generated answers (AEO). Mobile-first, hand-coded, loads in under a second, with proper structured data and Google Business Profile setup included.
