WordPress Rebuilds
Your site is holding your business back. Let's fix that.
WordPress website rebuilds for Auckland businesses — faster load times, better mobile experience, and a design built to convert visitors into enquiries.
Signs It's Time
When a refresh isn't enough.
Some problems are symptoms of a deeper issue — a site that was built wrong or is too old to fix efficiently.
If your site takes more than 3 seconds to load on mobile, you're losing visitors before they even see your business. Slow sites rank lower and convert worse.
Over 60% of web traffic is mobile. A site that forces visitors to pinch-zoom or scroll sideways is losing you enquiries every day.
If changing a phone number or adding a new service requires calling a developer, you're paying for something that should be simple.
A website that looks good but doesn't get enquiries has a conversion problem — weak CTAs, poor structure, or missing trust signals. That's fixable.

Our Process
From audit to launch — simple and transparent.
Six clear steps. You know what's happening at every stage.
Free Audit
We review your existing site and identify exactly what's holding it back — speed, SEO, conversion, security. No obligation.
Scope & Quote
We scope the rebuild based on your pages, requirements, and goals. A fixed-price quote with no surprises.
Build on Staging
The new site is built on a private staging URL so you can review it fully before anything goes live.
Review & Refine
Two structured rounds of feedback to refine the design and content until everything is right.
Launch
We migrate the new site live, set up all redirects, and submit to Google Search Console. Your old site URL stays intact.
Training & Support
A handover session covering how to manage your new site, plus 30 days of post-launch support.
Rebuild Questions Answered
Common questions from Auckland business owners considering a WordPress rebuild.
How long does a WordPress rebuild take?
Most small business site rebuilds take 2–3 weeks from project start to launch. Larger sites with more pages or custom functionality may take 3–5 weeks. We'll give you a specific timeline at the scoping stage.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I rebuild?
Not if it's done correctly. We map all your existing URLs, set up 301 redirects for any that change, and submit the new sitemap to Google Search Console. In most cases, rankings are maintained or improve — because the new site is better structured and faster. We also pair rebuilds with WordPress SEO optimisation to maximise ranking gains.
Do I have to use WordPress?
No — we build on WordPress as our default because it's what most clients already have and it's easy to manage. But if there's a reason to use a different platform, we can discuss alternatives.
Can you rebuild a site that was built by someone else?
Yes. We can rebuild any WordPress site regardless of who originally built it. We start with a full audit so we understand what's there and what's worth keeping.
What happens to my existing hosting and domain?
Your domain stays in your name and continues pointing to your existing site throughout the build. On launch day, we update the DNS to point to the new site. Hosting can be moved to our managed NZ hosting or stay where it is — we'll advise based on performance.

We'll review your current site and tell you exactly what's holding it back. Takes 24 hours.
