About Build a Website NZ

Helping New Zealand Businesses Make Better Decisions About Their Websites

Building a website can feel complicated.

There are website builders, domains, hosting, design, SEO, ecommerce, online marketing and plenty of technical terms to get your head around. If you're a business owner, you probably don't want to become a web developer. You simply want to understand what you need, make good decisions and build a website that works for your business.

That's why we created BuildAWebsite.nz.

BuildAWebsite.nz is a practical resource for New Zealand businesses that want to learn how websites work, understand their options and make the most of their online presence.

More Than Just a Website Builder

We believe a website should do more than give your business an address on the internet.

A good business website should help people find you, understand what you offer, trust your business and take the next step—whether that's making an enquiry, booking a service or buying something online.

Our goal is to explain the things that matter in plain English, without unnecessary technical jargon.

You'll find practical information about:

  • How websites work
  • How to build a website
  • Choosing a website builder
  • Website design and content
  • Website costs
  • Domains and hosting
  • Search engine optimisation
  • Local SEO
  • Ecommerce and online stores
  • Website marketing
  • Growing your business online

Whether you're starting your first website or looking to improve an existing one, we're here to help you understand what you're doing and why.

Built Around New Zealand Businesses

BuildAWebsite.nz is specifically focused on the needs of New Zealand businesses.

The right website for a local tradesperson isn't necessarily the right website for an online retailer. A consultant, café, professional service business or growing ecommerce store will all have different requirements.

That's why we focus on practical advice that helps you choose the right approach for your business, your customers and where you want your business to go.

Who Is Behind BuildAWebsite.nz?

BuildAWebsite.nz is powered by the team behind Website World, a website building and ecommerce service used by businesses to create and manage their websites online.

Website World has been helping businesses build websites for many years, with tools covering website building, content management, ecommerce, SEO, hosting and other online business requirements.

BuildAWebsite.nz gives that experience a different purpose: to help people understand websites before they decide what they need.

You can learn about your options here, compare different approaches and then, if Website World is the right fit for you, use its tools to build and manage your website.

Our Approach

We don't believe building a website should mean handing everything over to someone else and hoping it works.

We believe business owners should be able to understand their website, control their content and make changes as their business develops.

That's why we focus on practical information and tools that help you take control of your online presence.

And when you're ready to build, Website World provides the technology behind BuildAWebsite.nz.
