Website Design · New Zealand

Websites that feel like you

Beautiful, custom websites for NZ small businesses — childcare centres, service providers, and local brands that want to stand out and turn visitors into customers.

What I Do

NZ small business websites, built properly

I design and build custom websites for New Zealand small businesses — with a soft spot for childcare centres, early education providers, and family-focused services that deserve a site as warm as they are.

Every project is done by me, personally. That means consistent communication, thoughtful design decisions, and a website built around your specific goals — not a template pulled off a shelf.

Custom Website Design

Designed from scratch to reflect your brand. No cookie-cutter templates.

SEO-Ready from Day One

Built with search engines in mind so the right people can find you.

Mobile-First Development

Looks sharp and works perfectly on every screen — phone, tablet, desktop.

Ongoing Support

I don't disappear after launch. Updates, changes, questions — I'm here.

About Me

Hi, I'm Michelle — nice to meet you

I started Pixly because I kept seeing incredible NZ small businesses — especially childcare centres and early education providers — settling for websites that just didn't do them justice. A great website should feel like a natural extension of who you are.

I work with a small number of clients at a time so every project gets the attention it deserves. No hand-offs. No waiting weeks for a reply. Just honest, thoughtful work from someone who genuinely cares about your results.

I work remotely with small businesses across NZ and beyond — from childcare centres and family services to tradespeople and local boutiques.

How It Works

From first chat to live website

A clear, collaborative process so you always know what's happening and what's next.

01

Get in Touch

Tell me about your business and what you're looking for — no commitment needed.

02

Proposal & Plan

I send a detailed proposal covering scope, timeline, and pricing so there are no surprises.

03

Build

Your site is built from scratch — you get one round of revisions to fine-tune everything before we move to launch.

04

Launch

We go live together. I handle all the technical side so you don't have to lift a finger.

05

Go Live & Get Found

We set up your SEO, connect your Google Business profile, and make sure you're ready to be found online.

Why Pixly

Not an agency. Not a template.
Just better.

Here's what makes working with me different from most web designers.

You deal with one person

No account managers or hand-offs to juniors. I design it, build it, and support it — start to finish.

Custom-built, not templated

Every website is designed from scratch for you. You'll never see your site on someone else's business.

Quick turnaround

Most projects launch within 2 weeks. I keep a small client load so your project gets real focus.

Straightforward communication

No jargon, no runaround. I explain everything clearly and keep you in the loop at every stage.

Pricing

Clear, upfront pricing. No surprises.

All packages include custom design, development, and launch support. A 50% deposit secures your spot, with the remaining 50% due on launch day.

FAQ

Questions I get all the time

Most projects are completed within 2 weeks from kick-off to launch. If you need it sooner, a 5-day turnaround is available — just mention it when you reach out.

You'll drive the content — you know your business best. I'll help shape and refine your copy, and where you don't have photos I can source quality stock imagery to fill the gaps.

Sites are built with custom code, so they're not designed for DIY editing. That's why the maintenance package exists — I handle any updates for you so you can focus on running your business.

All sites are built with custom code for speed, flexibility, and a truly unique result. You own everything — hosting and domain are set up on your own account.

A 50% deposit is required to secure your spot, with the remaining 50% due on launch day. Simple and straightforward — no surprises.

Yes, redesigns are something I do often. Whether you need a full overhaul or just a refresh, I'll start by understanding what's not working with your current site and what you'd like to achieve instead.
