Website design services that actually work in 2025
We design websites that attract attention, generate traffic, and help grow your business in New Zealand.
Many websites look fine but do little. We create websites that perform. We use AI tools, SEO optimisation, and a content-first approach to make your website valuable.
If you’re running a small business in New Zealand, ask yourself: When was the last time your website brought in a lead or showed up in search? If the answer is “not recently,” you’re missing out.
I use this same strategy on my own site — richardhayes.co.nz. Every blog post I publish helps people find me, connect with my ideas, and get in touch.
Website Design Services for How People in New Zealand Use the Web Today
Many websites look fine but do little. We create websites that perform. We use AI tools, SEO optimisation, and a content-first approach to make your website valuable.
If you’re running a small business in New Zealand, ask yourself: When was the last time your website brought in a lead or showed up in search? If the answer is “not recently,” you’re missing out.
I use this same strategy on my own site — richardhayes.co.nz. Every blog post I publish helps people find me, connect with my ideas, and get in touch.
Your audience is on the move. They search, they skim, they scroll. We build websites that work with that behaviour:
- AI-assisted content planning to save time and improve results
- Search-optimised pages for higher rankings
- Content structured for sharing across social platforms
- Fast mobile-friendly design to keep users engaged
My site uses this exact approach. It’s lean, it’s quick, and it gets found.
Why My Website Design Services Are Different
A website should support your business goals. Here’s how mine do that:
If you write a short post each week, here’s what happens:
- It’s optimised for relevant keywords
- It appears in Google search results
- It becomes easy to share on social media
- It attracts people actively looking for your service — especially here in New Zealand
This is how content works over time. This is how I’ve built visibility through richardhayes.co.nz. I’ll help you do the same.
Why I Built It This Way
I built my own site to improve this model. Not just as a portfolio, but as a working example. Each blog post is a door into my business. It helps me reach people, start conversations, and grow.
Clients don’t come from ads. They come from finding something useful I’ve shared. That’s the power of a website that works.
I’ll show you how to set yours up the same way — especially if you’re based in New Zealand and want a smarter local web presence.
How the Process Works
1. Discover – We clarify what you want the site to achieve.
2. Build – We design a fast, clean website with built-in optimisation.
3. Optimise – Your site is loaded with tools to rank, share, and grow.
4. Publish – We give you the structure and content prompts to keep it fresh.
You’ll have a modern site plus the tools to use it effectively.
What You Get
- Clear messaging that speaks to your ideal customer
- Pages optimised for search from day one
- Built-in blog strategy for long-term traffic
- Tools and training so you’re not dependent on anyone
This works. It’s the same system I use. If it works for me, it can work for you — whether you’re in Auckland, Wellington, or anywhere across New Zealand.
See It in Action: A Real Example
I applied this same framework to richardhayes.co.nz. With a few blog posts, some smart SEO work, and social content tied into each page — this site became a lead generator instead of a quiet placeholder.
One article alone brought in a new client within two weeks of posting. That’s the power of doing it right.
If it works for me, it can work for you. Let me help you build a version of this that fits your business.
