About Kiwi Web Design

A web designer who actually cares about your results.

I'm Charlie — founder of Kiwi Web Design. I started this business because I kept seeing Auckland small businesses stuck with expensive, slow, or ineffective websites that weren't generating any work.

I believe every small business deserves a fast, modern website that works as hard as they do — without a big-agency price tag or months-long timelines.

The Story

Why I started Kiwi Web Design.

Before starting KWD, I worked across digital marketing and web projects in Auckland. I noticed the same problem over and over: small businesses — tradies, café owners, healthcare providers — were either paying too much for too little, or had DIY sites that were holding them back.

Big agencies charge big-agency rates. Freelancers from overseas don't know the Auckland market. Template builders create sites that look the same as everyone else. See how we compare in our guide to Auckland web design agencies. None of these options were serving Auckland small business owners well.

So I built Kiwi Web Design around a simple idea: deliver professional, results-focused websites for Auckland small businesses at a price they can justify, with a level of care and communication that larger agencies don't offer.

I'm based in Grey Lynn. I meet clients for coffee. I answer my own emails. Every project follows a clear, transparent build process — and I genuinely care whether your website is generating work for you.

How We Work

The values that guide every project.

These aren't marketing words — they're the principles I try to apply to every client engagement.

Results First

A website that doesn't generate enquiries isn't a success — no matter how good it looks. We measure success by the leads and revenue your site generates.

Honest Advice

We'll tell you what you actually need — even if that means a smaller project than you planned, or recommending another provider. You'll never be oversold.

Move Fast

Most of our clients are live in 2–3 weeks. We believe in getting you in front of customers quickly — then iterating — rather than spending months in planning.

Local First

We're based in Grey Lynn. We meet clients in person, understand the Auckland market, and care about local business success. This isn't an overseas operation.
