New Zealand · September 2026
Someone planning a renovation or a build usually looks at two or three builders before they call anyone. Your website’s job is to be one of the ones they find, and to look like real, finished work when they do. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.
Building work is rarely a same-day decision. People search “renovation builder Nelson”, “deck builder near me”, “house extensions”, then look at two or three results side by side over a few days before picking up the phone. Photos of finished work do more here than almost anything else you can put on a page, because people are judging your standard before they ever speak to you.
That is different from an emergency trade, and it changes what the website needs to do. It is not answering a crisis. It is the thing that turns “looks decent” into “I’ll call this one” when someone is quietly comparing their options.
For restricted building work (work affecting a home’s primary structure or weathertightness), New Zealand law requires a Licensed Building Practitioner to do or supervise it, under the Building Act 2004, with a Certificate of Design Work or Record of Building Work provided afterwards. Skipping it carries fines up to $50,000. For work outside that definition (a low deck, fencing, non-structural renovation), an LBP is not a legal requirement, but showing your licence, if you hold one, is still one of the clearest trust signals available and almost nobody uses it.
If you are a Master Build 10-Year Guarantee member, that is worth a line too. It covers structural defects for ten years, loss of deposit, non-completion, and problems with workmanship or materials, up to the value of the contract. Most people planning a build have no way to tell one business from another beyond a few photos. Anything that removes doubt before they call is doing real work.
Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.
It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.
The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.
If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of builders they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.
We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.
If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, it is worth doing regardless, because it is where your reviews and photos of past jobs show up first, often before anyone reaches your website at all. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.
Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.
Yes, if you hold one. Showing it, rather than leaving people to take your word for it, is one of the clearest trust signals available.
Photos of finished work matter more here than for almost any other trade. Along with that: the towns you cover, the kind of jobs you take on, and a phone number that gets answered.
Only for restricted building work, meaning anything affecting a home’s structure or weathertightness, where the law requires an LBP to do or supervise it. For other jobs it is not a legal requirement, but showing your licence if you hold one still helps.
For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.
Not a builder? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, tilers, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.
Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.
Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
