Developing websites from our bases in the Marlborough Sounds and Blenheim

6 top reasons for choosing Website Designs NZ as your website developer

Reason 1 - Realistic Prices

One reason we are in this business is because we were shocked at the outrageous prices some web developers were charging for their [sometimes sub-standard] work. If you've had a few quotes from different companies you'll know what we mean - a simple website for example can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the developer. And even worse, the higher costs often do not reflect the quality of the final product.

We keep our prices down by working from a home-office. Having a flash office on the main street would mean higher overheads, which would have to be reflected in client invoices.

We like to produce our high quality work at a really fair price, and that way everyone's happy.

Reason 2 - Cross Browser Testing

A web browser is the program you view web pages on. Many people don't realise that there are many web browsers available, not just Microsoft Internet Explorer. In fact, over 100 different browsers and versions are available for Windows, Mac and Linux computer systems, and they all have differences in how they handle and display website code.

Many developers test their work on Internet Explorer v6 for Windows. In addition, we also test on the newer versions of Internet Explorer, as well as Konqueror, Mozilla, Google Chrome, Opera and Firefox - both Windows and Linux versions.

Reason 3 - Standards Compliance

All our new website development work complies with website standards for HTML and CSS. This helps ensure your website will display and function correctly now and into the future on Windows, Apple Mac and Linux computer systems.

Compliance to these standards also helps to ensure correct website rendering even on unreleased versions of web browsers.

Reason 4 - Pride and Self Preservation!

We take pride in developing websites to a really high standard. And because a lot of work we are contracted to do comes from word-of-mouth referrals we have to produce great results for our clients, or we'd soon be out of business. Simple as that!

We are owner-operated - when you contract Website Designs NZ to do development work you know the work will be carried out by the business owner, not a less experienced employee or young fellow struggling at his "summer holidays job".

Reason 5 - We develop your site from scratch to final product...

Web design and coding is just part of the web development process. Once the website development is complete there is website hosting to setup, domain name to configure, as well as attending to new email address(es) linked to your domain name. If you wish to manage these issues yourself that's great, but if not then we can complete the setup for you at a very small extra cost.

Reason 6 - Home grown

Support New Zealand, we're 100% Kiwi and that's important. If there's a problem with your website you won't find yourself talking to a call center employee in the Philippines or Bangalore. Problems do occasionally occur, and like one well known Kiwi used to say, "it's the putting right that counts".

We support Kiwi business whenever possible. We utilise quality NZ data-centers for web hosting, purchase domain services through NZ providers and share in the buzz of NZ businesses succeeding with the help of a reliable Kiwi-made website.
