How we work

How a build
actually goes.

01
Discovery

We learn your business, your clients, and your goals, whether we design from scratch or start from one of our templates.

02
Design

Custom layouts, brand-aligned visuals, and a look that makes you stand out from every competitor.

03
Build

Clean code, fast load times, mobile-perfect, and ready to rank on Google from day one.

04
Launch & Grow

We hand over the keys, train you up, and stay available for ongoing improvements.

3D & Interactive

We build things
other studios can't.

Interactive 3D scenes and WebGL animation. It isn't right for every project, but when it fits, people remember the site.

Based in
Kāpiti.
Working NZ-wide.

We're a two-person studio. No account managers, no offshore handoffs. You deal directly with the people building your site.

Design isn't decoration here. It's whether the phone rings.

The TJ Design promise

What we promise.

Made to convert

Every page is built around one goal: turning visitors into enquiries. Looking good is the baseline, not the point.

Honest, every step

Plain English and a fixed quote up front. If a smaller scope would serve you better to start, we'll say so.

Yours to keep

We hand over the keys and show you how to run it yourself. Or we look after hosting, updates and tweaks. Always your call.

Guide pricing

What it
usually costs.

You shouldn't have to enquire just to learn the ballpark. Guide prices in NZD. Your actual quote is fixed before any work starts, and it doesn't creep.

Landing Page
from $1,500

One sharp page built to launch fast and convert. Ideal for campaigns, trades and new ventures.

  • Custom one-page design
  • Enquiry form & click-to-call
  • SEO & analytics set up
  • Live in 1–2 weeks
Online Store
from $5,000

Sell online with a store that's fast, trustworthy and easy to run. Products, payments and shipping sorted.

  • Custom storefront design
  • Checkout, payments & shipping
  • Product management training
  • Live in 3–6 weeks
DIY builder
$20–$60/month + your time

Template look, you do all the work, and there's no one to call when it breaks.

TJ Design
$1,500–$6,000 build · $89/mo hosting & care

Custom-designed and yours to keep. We host it, back it up and keep it updated.

Big agency
$8,000–$30,000+

Built for enterprise scale. Overkill for most local businesses.

After launch — hosting & care, $89/month

Every project includes hosting and domain setup. Then for $89 a month we host your site on fast, modern infrastructure, keep it backed up, and handle your content changes and small tweaks. One bill, everything looked after, no builder subscription and nothing to learn. Your domain renews separately (around $30–$50 a year), and the site is always 100% yours.

Common questions

Questions we
get a lot.

Landing pages start around $1,500, most business websites land between $2,500 and $6,000, and online stores start around $5,000. After launch, our hosting & care plan is $89/month. Every project gets a clear, fixed quote up front after a quick, free chat. No hourly surprises, no padding. We'll also be honest if a smaller scope would serve you better to start.

Most business websites take around two to four weeks from kick-off to launch. Landing pages can be faster, and larger e-commerce or custom builds take a little longer. We agree a timeline with you at the start and keep you updated the whole way through.

Yes. Every project includes hosting and domain setup, then our hosting & care plan is $89/month: we host the site, keep it backed up, and handle your content updates and small tweaks so you never have to touch the code. And the site is always yours. If you ever want to move it, we hand over everything.

Always. Every site we build is mobile-first, fast-loading, and set up with the SEO fundamentals: clean structure, proper metadata, and performance that helps you rank. A beautiful site that's slow or invisible on Google isn't doing its job.

Not at all. We're based on the Kāpiti Coast but work with clients across New Zealand and Australia. Everything can be done remotely over calls and email, and if you're local we're always happy to meet in person.

Just a rough idea of what you want to achieve. You don't need to have everything figured out. That's what the discovery step is for. We'll guide you through the questions that matter and handle the design and technical side from there.
