Auckland sites built to be found

Most agency sites look fine and rank nowhere. Our web design starts where theirs ends: fast pages, clean structure and SEO handled from day one, with your own photography instead of stock. Then we write it, build it and launch it — and keep checking your rankings monthly for a year.

What is Creative Co's website design service?

Creative Co is an Auckland web design studio building websites for New Zealand small businesses with SEO built in from the start — keyword research before design, pages structured around what customers actually search for, and original photography shot by our own photographers instead of stock images. Websites are fixed-price from $1,750, launched in 4–6 weeks on a CMS your team can update, and include a monthly SEO crawl with ranking tracking for the first twelve months.

Common questions

Specific to website design. General questions live on the pricing page.

Keyword research before we design, pages structured around what people actually search for, and the technical side — speed, redirects, Search Console — done before launch. After that, our own crawler checks the site every month for the first twelve months and flags anything that would hurt your rankings, with movement tracked straight from Search Console data.

Fixed price from $1,750 for a site of up to eight designed pages, including copywriting, SEO setup and training — with a written quote before anything starts. Larger sites and e-commerce are quoted per project. No hourly billing, and no surprise invoices at launch.

Four to six weeks from kickoff to launch: goals and page map agreed in week one, design in weeks two to three, build on a staging link you can watch in weeks three to five, then launch with redirects mapped so you keep your existing rankings.

Usually a headless CMS with a hand-built front end, so any developer — or your own team — can work on it after us. If you already run WordPress or Shopify well, we'll work there instead rather than migrate you for the sake of it.

No — but it's our unfair advantage. We're photographers as well as designers, so a shoot day is part of the build rather than another vendor to manage, and sites we shoot for perform better. We'll always price the option.

Yes. If there aren't any, a light brand pass is $3,200 and happens before design starts.

You own the hosting account; we set it up. Our care plan covers updates and backups at $220 a month if you'd rather not.

We're based in Auckland, and photography shoots are easiest here — but we design and build websites for businesses across New Zealand, with the whole process run over staging links and video calls when distance calls for it.
