Why should I invest in my website?

A powerful website is your business’s best investment

Your website is more than just a digital storefront – it’s the heart of your online presence and often the first impression customers have of your business. A professionally designed website helps you build credibility, connect with your audience, and turn visitors into loyal customers.

When done right, your website works as a 24/7 sales tool, showcasing your brand, streamlining customer interactions, and driving growth. Whether you’re aiming to attract new customers, sell products online, or simply make it easier for clients to reach you, investing in your website is one of the smartest business decisions you can make.

Let’s work together

Let’s create a website your business deserves

A great website is the foundation of your digital presence – and we’re here to help you build it. Book your free discovery call today to chat about how Zesty Creative can design and deliver a website that’s perfect for your business.

Our timelines vary depending on the package and complexity of your site, but most websites are completed within 6-8 weeks from the start of the project.

Absolutely! We can create engaging copy for your site and source high-quality images if needed – or work with what you provide.

Yes, all of our websites are fully responsive, meaning they’ll look great and function seamlessly on any device.

We primarily use WordPress for its flexibility and scalability but can work with other platforms if required.

Why WordPress? While other platforms might seem attractive with lower entry fees, those costs often climb quickly as you start adding features like e-commerce, payment gateways, booking systems, or additional users. The more you need, the higher your monthly costs become. Plus, these platforms can lock you into their ecosystem, making it difficult (and often expensive) to move your website elsewhere if you decide to switch. I’ve even heard designers compare them to “digital traps” – tempting you with low upfront fees, only to tie you into ongoing costs and limitations.

With WordPress and its e-commerce add-on WooCommerce, you avoid those restrictions. WordPress is an open-source platform, meaning the software itself is free to use, robust, and constantly updated by a global community of developers. This translates to a highly secure and flexible platform. As long as your site is maintained and plugins come from reputable sources, your website will remain secure and functional. Think of it like putting on your seatbelt – with regular updates and good practices, your site is protected from potential risks.

But here’s where WordPress really stands out: scale and transparency. WordPress powers about 43.5% of the internet, which means there’s an immense community constantly improving and safeguarding its code. If a vulnerability is found, it’s identified and fixed rapidly, with updates often rolled out within hours. Compare that to private platforms, which may have fewer resources, slower fixes, and varying levels of transparency about security breaches. With WordPress, I can confidently say that you have control over your site’s safety and functionality, without being at the mercy of a platform’s priorities or profit margins.

Kadence is a powerful toolkit that enhances the way WordPress works, giving you more flexibility and functionality without compromising speed or simplicity.

Here’s how it works: WordPress uses a system called Gutenberg blocks, where you add “blocks” like headings, text, images, or other elements to build a page – think of it as a digital version of Publisher. Kadence adds an extra layer of functionality with its advanced blocks and plugins, designed to enhance (not replace) Gutenberg. This makes creating pages faster, easier, and an all-around smoother experience. Plus, because Kadence is lightweight, your site stays speedy and efficient.

Kadence also offers professionally designed templates that help speed up the design process. These templates provide a solid starting point for your website, showcasing the latest design trends and Kadence features. Think of it like having a blueprint to guide your project – it’s so much easier to create something beautiful when you have a clear starting point!

At Zesty, we hold a developer licence for Kadence. This allows us to provide you with access to premium Kadence products as part of your website build. With Kadence and our expertise, we create stunning, professional websites that are not only user-friendly but also designed to delight your customers.

We prioritise using web hosting providers based in New Zealand and Australia to ensure the best performance, reliability, and support for our clients. Here’s why it matters:

  • Faster website speeds: Hosting your website closer to your target audience significantly improves loading times. Faster websites not only enhance the user experience but also contribute to better SEO rankings.
  • Data security and compliance: Local hosting ensures your website data is stored within NZ or Australian servers, adhering to regional privacy laws and regulations. This gives you peace of mind knowing your data is secure and compliant.
  • Personalised support: Local hosting providers understand the unique needs of businesses in NZ and Australia. Should an issue arise, you’ll benefit from prompt, personalised support in your time zone.
  • Reduced latency: With servers geographically closer to your audience, latency (the delay in transferring data) is reduced. This is especially important for websites with high traffic or complex functionality.

By hosting locally, we ensure your website delivers top-notch performance and provides a seamless experience for your customers, all while supporting regional businesses.

Yes, we offer ongoing maintenance packages to keep your site updated, secure, and running smoothly after launch.
