Parents check your website before they ever ring you. What do they find?

Word of mouth finds your centre. Your website decides whether a family books a visit or keeps scrolling.

Parents go on small cues: real photos of your rooms, the faces of your kaiako, fees they can understand, and a simple way to come and see for themselves. Every Pixly site is built around that moment.

How it works

Live within three weeks of receiving your photos and content.

Step one

A chat about direction

A 30-minute call about your centre, your style and what inspires you. Afterwards I send a photo shot list and a guide to the content I’ll need.

Step two

You send, we kick off

Once your photos and content are in, the build begins and the three weeks start.

Step three

Design and review

I design your site and send the draft for your review. I make your changes, then send it back for approval.

Step four

Live and booking visits

Final tweaks, your Discover forms connected, and your site launches on WordPress. Families can book a visit that day.

Kind words

“We’re thrilled with our new Canopy Early Learning website! Michelle from Pixly Websites was easy to work with and brought our ideas and brief to life beautifully.

Although the website has only been live a short time, we’ve already received several compliments. We would highly recommend Michelle and wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.”

Hi, I'm Michelle. One designer, start to finish.

Book a 15-minute chat

I come from a marketing and strategy background, and that’s where my love of websites and branding grew. Now I build websites for independent centres across New Zealand, and every one starts with strategy: who your families are, what they need to see, and what gets them to book a visit.

I know what parents look for and how little time owners have to spare.

You deal with me from the first call to launch day. No account managers, no web person who disappears.

Fair questions

How long does it take?

Three weeks from the day your photos and content arrive. The shot list and content guide I send after our first call make that part as quick as possible. Need it sooner? A one-week rush build is available as an extra, depending on my schedule.

What do I need to provide?

Your photos and the words for each page. I’ll refine your words so they read well online. If you’d rather I write the pages for you, that’s available as an extra.

How many changes can I make?

Two rounds of revisions are included, so you review the draft, I make your changes, then you check it again before approval. A brand new direction after that is quoted separately.

Will it work with Discover?

Yes. Your visit and enrolment buttons connect to your Discover forms, so enquiries land straight in the system you already use.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your hosting, domain and WordPress site are all in your name, and you pay the provider directly. If you ever move on, everything goes with you.

Can I update it myself?

Yes. With the Edit it yourself setup you can change text, photos and notices without touching the design. Or choose the Care Plan and I’ll keep it current for you.

We already have a website. Is it worth redoing?

Send me the link and I’ll record a free two-minute video showing what’s working, what’s missing and one quick win. No call needed.

New owner? Opening soon?

Make the centre feel like yours before the next intake.

Tell me a little about your centre. Add your current website and I’ll send back a free two-minute video audit. I reply within a working day.
