Website offer scope

What the standard offer includes.

GRID EATER keeps standard business websites simple. Our website builds start from NZ$495 + GST and eligible standard hosting from around NZ$95 + GST per year. These prices cover the work most small and medium New Zealand businesses actually need. If a project falls outside this scope, we will explain why and quote it before doing extra chargeable work.

Website builds from NZ$495 + GST
Eligible hosting from around NZ$95 + GST/year

Usually included in the NZ$495 + GST build

Standard business website

  • Modern responsive website for mobile and desktop.
  • Normal initial static pages and content needed for a straightforward business site.
  • Contact or enquiry forms and standard business features.
  • Strong security foundations and SSL/HTTPS.

Setup and launch

  • DNS and ordinary email configuration assistance.
  • Google Analytics, Search Console and related Google setup where appropriate and authorised.
  • Reasonable migration from an existing website or provider.
  • Most standard builds or migrations completed in 1-3 business days once we have the required access, information and assets.

Content that changes all the time

We can automate a lot

Where a business regularly publishes articles, videos, appearances or other reliable online content, we can often build automated feeds or integrations so the website updates itself. Where technically reasonable, this kind of initial automation can be included within the NZ$495 + GST build.

Unlimited manual updates are not included

The standard build does not include endless ongoing manual article publishing, product entry or customised content management by GRID EATER. We can instead configure practical customer editing access, automate suitable feeds, or quote an ongoing management service if you want us to keep doing the work.

E-commerce and product catalogues

Existing shops

Where clean, compatible product data already exists, the standard NZ$495 + GST offer can generally include migration of up to 50 existing products. Larger catalogues, difficult exports, extensive image cleanup, unusual variants or unsupported legacy systems may require a separate quote.

New shops

If product data does not already exist, we can generally create up to 10 products as representative examples and templates within the standard build. You can then add the remaining products yourself. Once you tell us you are finished, one reasonable final review/check of your product setup is included.

More complex commerce is still possible.Subscriptions, specialist tax or shipping rules, marketplace synchronisation, large or complicated variant structures, extensive product creation and very large catalogues are separately scoped where required.

NZ$95 + GST annual hosting

Eligible standard sites

The around NZ$95 + GST annual hosting offer is intended for efficient standard business websites and includes managed website delivery, DNS, SSL and ordinary infrastructure required for that site.

When another plan may be needed

Unusually high traffic, large storage requirements, heavy compute workloads, specialist databases or other advanced infrastructure can require a different hosting arrangement. We will explain this before moving a site onto a more expensive plan.

Third-party charges

Third-party provider charges may not be included. Examples can include domain registrations outside an agreed package, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 subscriptions, payment processing fees, paid software licences, paid plugins, external platforms and specialist services controlled by another provider.

Work normally quoted separately

  • Large custom applications or bespoke software systems.
  • Extensive bespoke design or revision cycles beyond normal website iteration.
  • Unlimited ongoing manual content, article or product entry.
  • Oversized or unusually complex e-commerce catalogues.
  • Specialist integrations beyond the reasonable baseline of a standard business website.
  • Paid third-party fees and services unless they are specifically stated as included.
No surprise extras.If work falls outside the standard offer, we will explain why and quote it before doing extra chargeable work.
