FAQ – Web Design & Development
How much does a website cost in New Zealand?
Pricing varies by scope. Typical NZ ranges you’ll see from agencies are roughly $2,500–$6,500 depending on size, features, ecommerce, and content. E-Commerce builds commonly start higher at $6,500. Use this as ballpark – your final quote will follow a clear scope and deliverables. Sky Media is always glad to help and create a solution tailored to your needs — balancing both functionality and budget.
How long does it take to design and build a website?
For a small business brochure site: ~2–4 weeks. For E-Commerce or custom integrations: ~4–6 weeks. Timelines depend on how fast content/approvals arrive and the number of revisions. At Sky Media we map milestones (strategy → design → build → QA → launch) so you know exactly what’s next and when.
Which platform do you use to build websites?
We design and develop all websites in WordPress, the world’s most trusted website platform. For online stores, we use WooCommerce — a powerful ecommerce plugin built for WordPress. This combination gives you full control, flexibility, and scalability, without ongoing subscription fees. It’s perfect for NZ businesses that want a custom site they truly own and can grow over time.
Will my new website be SEO-ready from day one?
Yes—our builds ship with technical SEO best practices: clean IA, crawlable navigation, schema where relevant, fast hosting setup, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and on-page basics (titles, meta, headings, alt text). We can also create SEO-driven copy and an internal-link plan to target your keywords.
Do you provide content, photography, and copywriting or do I?
Both options work. If you supply assets, we’ll optimise them. If you need help, our team can plan site architecture, write conversion-focused copy, source/brief photography, and set brand-consistent tone across pages.
What about hosting, domains, security, and backups?
We set up fast, secure hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and a firewall/security layer. You can keep your existing domain registrar— we’ll handle DNS and go-live without downtime. Post-launch, our care plans keep everything up to date and protected.
Can you migrate my current website without losing Google rankings?
Yes. We audit current URLs, map 301 redirects, migrate content/media, preserve key metadata, and fix internal links. This protects existing equity and helps your new site grow from a stronger base.
Do you integrate bookings, payments, CRMs, and marketing tools?
Absolutely. Common integrations include Stripe/PayPal/Afterpay, booking systems (e.g., Timely), inventory and POS, HubSpot/Mailchimp/Klaviyo, and GA4 + conversion tracking. We also add consent and event tracking so you can measure real leads and sales.
What does ongoing website maintenance cost?
Maintenance depends on update frequency and complexity. We offer monthly care plans covering updates, security, backups, small content changes, and reporting; ecommerce or high-traffic sites typically need a higher tier. We’ll recommend a plan to match your risk tolerance and growth goals.
Who owns my website after launch?
You do. We provide you admin access and documentation. Any third-party licenses (themes, plugins, apps) continue under their terms, but the custom work we create for you is yours per our agreement.
