You’re in the right place. At Paragon Design, we’ve been helping Auckland and New Zealand businesses succeed online for over 25 years — and we’ve answered a lot of questions along the way.
What does your website design service in Auckland include?
We deliver end-to-end website design: planning, wireframes, responsive development (WordPress), hosting setup, SEO basics, and training. You’ll have a fully functional, easy-to-manage site built for local New Zealand audiences.
How much does a small business website cost in New Zealand?
This is almost impossible to answer! Every business owner has different requirements, so we would always discuss your needs as the first step and then give you an estimate before commencing work.
How long does it take to build a website?
On average, websites are completed within 3–6 weeks from brief to launch, assuming timely feedback and content from you. Complex projects might take longer; simpler sites can be faster.
Do I own my website and domain once it’s built?
Yes — once launched, you own your website and domain. We provide all access details, transfer any registrations to you, and offer optional ongoing maintenance if desired.
What does web hosting include and do you host websites?
We offer NZ-based hosting with SSL, backups, speed optimisation, and 24/7 support. Yes—we host with fast, local providers and include setup in every website package.
How are domain names registered and renewed?
Domain names (e.g. .co.nz, .kiwi, .com) are registered yearly and must be renewed annually or multi-year. We can manage registration and renewal reminders for you.
What happens if I let my domain expire?
If a domain expires, your website and email go offline. There’s usually a short grace period (30–90 days for .co.nz). We can auto-renew domains to avoid disruption.
Do you provide SEO services and how long does it take to see results?
Yes—we offer comprehensive SEO including keyword research, on-page work, and local optimisation. SEO results typically begin within 3–6 months and grow over time.
Can I edit the website myself after launch?
Absolutely. We build sites using WordPress and provide a tutorial so you can update content easily. We also offer paid maintenance if you’d prefer we handle updates.
What’s included in a free website audit?
A free audit includes technical checks (speed, security), SEO evaluation, content review, and actionable improvement suggestions—tailored for your NZ business. After the audit, we can discuss a plan to optimise or redesign your site.
