Auckland Web Design & Development

Your website, in very good hands.

Websites by The Caretakers

We build websites and then we care for them. It's literally our name.

Most business websites are – if we're honest – very expensive brochures. They sit there. They look fine. They do nothing. The ones we build are not that. Ours answer questions, bring in leads, book jobs, and talk to your other systems. Every day, without complaining.

We're a small, senior team based in Auckland. No account managers. No offshore anything. No templates. You talk to the person actually building your site, which is nice because we've been doing this for more than ten years and we're quite good at it.

Whether you want a shiny new marketing site, a custom web application, or an overdue rebuild of something currently held together with plugins and prayer, we can probably help.

Give Alex a call on 022 020 8262. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you. We're after long partnerships, not quick wins.

Want to talk it through? Call Alex, our Technical Director. He's one of the people who will actually plan and build your website.

We know far too much about our clients' industries.

We've spent a decade working inside the New Zealand insurance market. We know the compliance copy. We know quote flows. We know what happens when you try to plug a shiny new website into an underwriting system from 2004. We know what your marketing team wants. We also know what your compliance lead won't let them have.

We've been working with insurance companies since literally day one. We've taken scrappy challengers to category leaders – and are experts in the space.

Selling into construction, trades and health & safety is a different sport entirely. The audience is sceptical. The sales cycle is long. The person buying is almost never the person using the thing. We've learned how to make websites that actually talk to that audience, using outcomes and evidence and video instead of the usual buzzword soup.

With Workdek we helped launch an entirely new category of safety product into the New Zealand construction market. Which is a polite way of saying we convinced a lot of stubborn people to do things differently.

Farmers and primary producers do not suffer fluff. They want a site that loads on a dodgy rural connection, that says what you sell in words that make sense, and that has the phone number somewhere they can actually find it. We build for how people actually behave, not for how a marketing deck says they behave.

Agmax is a 30-year-old family business selling dairy hygiene and animal health products. They trusted us with a full rebrand and a new digital platform, which was generous of them given how easy that would have been to get wrong.

The Caretakers have been working with Star Insure for several years. From an IT view, they have proven to be a proactive, reliable and professional and valued partner. They have taken the time to learn and understand our business, and worked with us to change our systems to achieve operational efficiency and deliver value to our organisation.

You've made it past the testimonials. At this point you should probably just call Alex.

How we build websites

Custom-built, with the right tool for the job.

Caretakers team watching a developer at work

Every site we build is custom. No themes or templates. No page-builder spaghetti. No mystery plugins you'll be scared to update six months from now. We've gone deep on a handful of tools instead of dabbling in everything, and between them they cover everything a New Zealand business actually needs.

We design for conversion for both existing brands, and those created by us. We measure results, and when the site's live we don't disappear, which is why most of our clients have been with us for years. These are our preferred tools for building websites.

Go on then

You'll talk to a developer, not a salesperson.

If you're in Auckland, our technical director can meet you in person. If you're anywhere else in New Zealand, a video call works fine. Either way you'll speak directly with one of the people who'd actually be planning and building your site.

Call Alex on 022 020 8262 or use the form. It comes straight to the team, and we actually reply.
