Start with the buyer
Keep information useful and current
A website can look finished while its content process is still unclear. If several people write, check and approve a page, the CMS needs to support those responsibilities. Ask who can publish, what needs review and what happens when the person maintaining a section leaves.
WellingtonNZ identifies creative, digital and science-related activity in its regional development plan. That provides a reason to investigate these audiences, rather than assuming every Wellington business needs an enterprise platform. The project scope still comes from your users and your current systems.
The illustration shows a website-planning concept. Published client work is shown separately below.

What to review on your Wellington website
Accessible completion
Review the enquiry task with a keyboard, clear validation, readable errors and a confirmed success message.
Release responsibility
Document preview, approval, deployment, rollback and the person responsible for supporting the application.
Built for your business
A website your team can keep current
Give visitors useful answers and give your staff a practical way to maintain them. The website scope can cover both the public experience and the work behind each update.
Easy-to-manage content
Keep service details, resources and team information up to date through a CMS that fits your staff. Roles, reusable layouts and previews can make publishing easier to review.
Accessible information and forms
Help people navigate with a keyboard, understand field labels and recover from an input error. Include readable mobile pages and the main customer tasks in the design review.
Member and client experiences
Where a public website is only part of the brief, scope a member area, dashboard or connected application. Plan permissions and data access alongside the screens people use.
What we build

WordPress publishing workflows
Define editing roles, reusable blocks and review responsibilities. Test an ordinary content change with the people who will publish it.
React and Next.js application interfaces
Map account permissions, form validation and error recovery. Public service information should remain accessible and crawlable.
Headless CMS for shared content
Use content models for material that appears across channels. Include preview, scheduled publishing and the path from approval to release.
Platform and scope
Build accessibility into the tasks and acceptance criteria
Put the acceptance criteria in the scope: which pages, assistive technologies and tasks will be tested, who reviews findings and how remediation is approved.
Accessible website tasks
Start with headings, link descriptions, keyboard navigation, visible focus and readable contrast. For forms, review labels, instructions, error messages and the ability to correct a submission. Test the task with realistic content, zoom and a narrow screen.
WordPress, React and headless CMS
A WordPress website can support a clear editing workflow with a small set of approved blocks. Next.js can serve public content while React supports an account interface or a more involved form. A headless CMS adds value when content reuse and approvals justify operating separate systems.
Commissioning and review requirements
For a public-sector brief, confirm the applicable New Zealand government standards and procurement requirements with the commissioning team. We do not claim accreditation, government supplier status or compliance from a screenshot. An agreed accessibility target needs manual testing as well as automated checks.

Let’s discuss your website
Is your website difficult to update or use?

Budget, ownership and remote delivery for Wellington
What shapes the quote
A Wellington content or application project needs an estimate for content modelling, approval rules, accessibility testing and integration work. Confirm who supplies policy or technical content and how many review rounds are included.
Scope and ownership
Ask for a written scope covering design, content, development, testing and handover, with exclusions and recurring costs. Published starting fees elsewhere on this website are in USD. Confirm invoice currency, taxes and payment terms in the proposal. Repository, domain, hosting and CMS access should have named owners.
Working with our Noida team
Engineering delivery is from Noida, India. Agree review windows using Pacific/Auckland and Asia/Kolkata with the date included; New Zealand observes daylight saving. The New Zealand contact page explains the existing Auckland contact arrangements. A regional service page does not establish a staffed office in this city.
Performance and search checks
A fast, discoverable Wellington website
Crawlable content and useful URLs
Publish service descriptions, policy information and document links in HTML that people and search engines can follow. Use descriptive page titles, a clear heading hierarchy, self-canonical URLs and a sitemap. When replacing documents or pages, agree what happens to existing inbound links before changing the content.
Mobile and desktop performance
Use realistic content for testing: a long organisation name, an important document, an invalid form entry and keyboard navigation through the task. Review fonts, document downloads and third-party scripts alongside image sizes. The real-user targets are LCP at or below 2.5 seconds, INP at or below 200 milliseconds and CLS at or below 0.1 at the 75th percentile, separately for mobile and desktop. Lab results help diagnose a page before launch; they do not establish those field results.
Indexing and enquiry measurement
Agree who checks indexing, broken document links, form failures and content review dates after launch. Search Console can show which Wellington and wider New Zealand queries lead to useful pages. A successful form receipt is a separate event from opening a page or clicking its contact button.
Before you decide
Before commissioning a Wellington website
Can you work on a Wellington public-sector website?
Share the brief and procurement requirements for review. Confirm eligibility, the applicable accessibility standard, security requirements and delivery conditions before an engagement. No government supplier status or public-sector track record is claimed here.
Can you work with an existing Wellington WordPress website?
Share its URL and what is failing. We review the current content, editing, integrations and performance before proposing repairs or a rebuild. Confirm access and scope before any production changes.
When should we choose Next.js, React or headless WordPress?
Choose from the content and application requirements. WordPress can suit direct editing; Next.js can combine public pages with connected interfaces; React supports application behaviour. Headless adds separate publishing and frontend responsibilities that need a clear benefit.
What will you need for a useful estimate?
Send the existing URL, intended users, key tasks, page or product inventory, integrations, content owner, budget and target launch window. Explain what must continue working through a migration.
Do you have a staffed office here?
Engineering delivery is from Noida, India. Confirm any local contact or meeting arrangements through the existing New Zealand location page. This page describes a service area and does not claim a staffed office in this city.
