Website development, SEO and digital marketing for Wellington businesses
Wellington is the seat of New Zealand's government, and a large share of its private sector supplies ministries and agencies — which means procurement portals, supplier registration and websites expected to meet the government's own web accessibility standards. We are a web design company in India building for Wellington firms at published prices, with seo services aimed at the searches a public-sector buyer makes, and no office in the city.

Working with us in Wellington
What Wellington businesses run into, and what we do about it
Government suppliers are held to the government's accessibility standard
New Zealand government agencies publish a Web Accessibility Standard and a Web Usability Standard, built on WCAG, and the suppliers who sell to them are increasingly expected to meet the same bar on their own sites. We build to WCAG as a default rather than an add-on — keyboard navigation, contrast, alt text, readable structure — so a Wellington supplier's site does not fail the first check a procurement officer runs.
Public-sector procurement runs through portals, not cold calls
Tenders are published through the government's electronic tenders service, and a supplier's credibility is checked on its website before a bid is read. The web design company Wellington suppliers need builds a capability profile, a document library and a case-study format that answers a tender evaluator's questions in the order they ask them.
Local search is small in volume and high in intent
Type 'seo agency Wellington' into Google and the volume is modest compared with Auckland, which is precisely why the searches that do happen matter. Local seo services here mean a Google Business Profile that is accurate, suburb pages for the Hutt Valley and Porirua where you actually serve, and content aimed at the professional-services questions a Wellington buyer types.
A film and creative sector that sells globally
Miramar's screen industry and the studios around it sell services to overseas productions, which means a site that is judged from Los Angeles or London before it is judged locally. The small business website design we build for creative firms is fast, portfolio-led and readable by the AI assistants a foreign producer now asks first.

Why Wellington clients work with us
Built for the distance
Wellington is six and a half hours ahead of India, seven and a half in daylight saving, so we run every engagement on a detailed written brief, a daily written update and calls booked in advance for the window that overlaps our morning.
Accessibility as a default, not a line item
Because so many Wellington firms supply government, we build to WCAG by default and document it, so the accessibility statement on your site describes what was actually done rather than what was promised.
No office in Wellington, said plainly
We are not on Lambton Quay or in Te Aro and we will not imply it. What you get is published pricing, an Indian GST registration you can verify, a small paid first step, and delivery on a written cadence.
New Zealand dollars, no GST added for B2B
Local NZD account details through a licensed cross-border payment provider make payment a domestic transfer, and under the non-resident supplier rules we do not add the 15% GST when you are GST-registered and give us your number.

How it works
Questions from Wellington clients
Do you have an office in Wellington?
No. We deliver from India on a written cadence, with calls booked ahead for your late afternoon. We are honest that the time difference is the largest we work with, and we plan around it rather than promise it away.
Are you a digital marketing agency in Wellington or a web design company?
Both, plus software. The same team builds the websites and ecommerce stores, runs the SEO and social retainers, and writes the custom software and WhatsApp automation. A digital marketing agency Wellington suppliers hire for content can here also build the accessible site the content sits on.
Do you charge GST, and is the invoice in NZD?
The invoice is in New Zealand dollars as an export of services. If you are a GST-registered New Zealand business using our services for that business, the non-resident supplier rules mean we do not add the 15% GST — give us your GST number and it is noted.
How do you handle the timezone gap with Wellington?
New Zealand is six and a half hours ahead of India, seven and a half during daylight saving from September to April, so your morning is our late evening. The default is async — a written brief, a daily written update — with calls booked in advance for the window that works.
What does a website or SEO cost for a Wellington business?
The published New Zealand figures: a business website from NZ$2,500 to NZ$6,000 by page count and complexity, and SEO retainers from NZ$900 to NZ$1,800 a month. Accessibility work is included in the build, not charged on top.
