National Outdoor RetailerLarge-catalogue search and checkoutWhat we build
From a fast brochure site to a multi-tenant SaaS, our Auckland team covers the full web development stack — UX design, frontend, backend, third-party integrations, and the ongoing engineering work that keeps a site shipping after launch.
E-commerce & Shopify
Shopify, headless commerce, and custom checkout flows for New Zealand brands. We integrate with your ERP, payments, and fulfillment, and tune the storefront for conversion rather than just looks.
Web apps & SaaS platforms
Dashboards, internal tools, customer portals, and full SaaS products. Typed end-to-end with TypeScript and Go, observable in production, and architected to scale as your business grows.
Start with the problem, not a package
A new website is not always the answer. We first work out what is slowing the business down, what already deserves to stay, and the smallest useful change that can move it forward.
A new business or offer
Shape the positioning, content, and customer journey together, then build the public-facing site around the questions people need answered before they act.
A site that is underperforming
Find out whether slow pages, weak search visibility, awkward editing, or a broken enquiry path can be repaired before committing to a full rebuild.
A workflow held together manually
Replace spreadsheets, repeated data entry, and disconnected tools with a focused portal or operational system that fits the way your team already works.
Not sure which starting point fits? Send us the current URL or describe the bottleneck in a few lines. We will tell you whether this looks like a focused repair, a new site, or a custom system — including when the honest answer is to keep what you have.
Talk through your starting pointHow a build actually runs, week by week
We work in delivery weeks rather than open-ended phases, so you always know which week you are in and what lands at the end of it. This is the shape of a typical four-week marketing site; longer projects extend the build weeks rather than adding new stages.

Discovery & scope
Week 1
A working session with whoever makes the decisions — usually two hours, in person in Auckland or over a call. We map what the site has to do commercially, who it is for, what already works, and what the current site is costing you in lost enquiries. You leave that week with a written scope, a sitemap, and the fixed price. If we think your budget is better spent somewhere other than a rebuild, we say so here, before you have paid for anything.

Design
Week 2
We design the key templates — usually the homepage, a service page and a content template — in the browser rather than in flat mockups, so you review the real thing at real widths on a real phone. One structured round of feedback, one revision. We hold the typography, spacing and hierarchy decisions to an editorial standard rather than dropping your brand into a stock theme.
- 03
Build
Weeks 3 – 5
Frontend, backend, integrations and content migration, on a staging URL you can open at any time — no black box, no waiting until the end to see progress. Accessibility and performance are enforced as we build rather than audited afterwards: keyboard paths, contrast, semantic structure, and Core Web Vitals all checked before a page is called done. You review as it goes, so nothing is a surprise in the final week.
- 04
Launch & aftercare
Final week
DNS cutover, redirects mapped from every old URL so you keep the rankings you already have, analytics and Search Console verified, structured data validated, and a handover session recorded for your team. Then thirty days of included defect support cover issues that surface under real traffic. After that, ongoing work is quoted hourly or provided under a written maintenance scope.

Go, React, PostgreSQL and AWS. This is the end of the range Auckland web development can reach when the problem is operational rather than promotional.
The technology, and why it matters to your business
A stack list tells you nothing. Here is what each choice buys you commercially — and if a different tool fits your situation better, we will tell you that instead of selling you ours.
Next.js and React, because speed is revenue
Google ranks on Core Web Vitals, and Auckland shoppers on mobile data leave slow pages. We build on Next.js so pages render on the server and ship as static assets from an edge network — the same architecture that took Innox Trading to a 1.05 second average load and a PageSpeed score of 99. On WordPress with a page-builder plugin, the same content typically runs three to five times slower, and every plugin is an unpatched security surface you inherit.
TypeScript and Go, because bugs cost more than features
Both ends of the system are typed, which means whole categories of runtime failure are caught in our editor rather than by your customer at checkout. For anything with real operational load — orders, inventory, bookings, payments — we use Go on the backend, and we ship with logging and monitoring in place so a problem is visible to us before your team notices it.
Ownership and handover, written down
Your domain, customer accounts, content and business data remain under your control. Rights to custom deliverables, repository access and handover are defined in the project agreement; YuNet pre-existing tools and third-party licences retain their existing terms.
Why Auckland businesses choose us
We're a small Auckland-based team of senior engineers and designers — no offshoring, no juniors learning on your project. You get fixed scope and timelines before we start, written ownership and handover terms, and a team that stays accessible long after launch. Bilingual support in English and Mandarin, serving clients across Auckland and all of New Zealand.
Questions Auckland businesses ask us
The things that come up in almost every first conversation, answered properly.
