Why

Why Pixelsmith

Twenty years, 100+ NZ websites, and one person who actually picks up the phone. Here's what that means for you.

Why work with me

The short version.

You deal with me, not a call centre.

I'm Christchurch-based, so I can meet at your place rather than over Zoom. When something needs sorting, you ring me - not a ticket queue.

20+ years, 100+ NZ sites.

I've built websites for small Kiwi businesses since before "responsive" was a word. I think commercially - your site is a tool for winning customers, not a vanity piece.

You own everything.

Your domain, your content, your accounts. No hostage situations, no being locked out of your own website.

Fixed pricing, no surprises.

You'll know what it costs before I start. No creeping monthly fees, no surprise invoices to change a phone number.

Honest about what works.

I won't promise you the top of Google or traffic miracles. I build sites that are fast, well-structured and easy to find - then tell you the truth about the rest.

Fast sites that earn their keep.

Quick to load, sharp on a phone, and built to turn visitors into enquiries. (This page is itself the proof.)

What clients say

Don't just take my word for it.

Real reviews from real Kiwi businesses - some via Google, some sent directly.

I couldn't recommend Pixelsmith more highly. Kat developed our website from scratch and her expertise and friendly but professional manner always shines through. She made the whole process smooth, seamless and easy to understand. Kat is always happy to help if we need it. We are more than happy to recommend Pixelsmith.

We have loved our relationship with Pixelsmith over the last three years - they respond quickly to our requests, but also challenge and push us to move beyond our preconceptions to present our full value to the world.

Kat from Pixelsmith is a website wizard! I started the process without a firm idea of what I needed or how the site should look. Kat was a total saint as I navigated various directions. She was incredibly patient and provided insightful advice on what would best serve my practice. My only non-negotiable was that the site had to authentically reflect my mahi…

Pixelsmith has provided us with a professionally designed website that is perfect for our needs. Kat was incredibly helpful in working with us to incorporate our requirements, spending a lot of time helping us to plan the structure and functionality of the website (which is quite complex!). Working with Pixelsmith has been a dream - we highly recommend their services!

Thinking about building our website we were staring into the void. When we connected with Pixel Smith it was like the void gave us a big warm hug back! We knew what we were after, however couldn't articulate it, and in no way could we design it. Kat took time to learning about who we are, then just said 'send me some images and text'. I think she has a…

We have been a client of Pixelsmith for several years. Kat has created and managed our beautiful website, and creates and manages our events on Social Media. Kat is amazing to deal with, so professional, creative and just excellent at her job!

Pixelsmith were a dream to work with in the creation of a website for my construction company. Kat led the project with complete professionalism and produced a polished website that has exceeded my expectations.
