What a GRID EATER business website actually includes
The NZ$495 + GST starting point is possible because AI compresses repetitive production work, not because the finished website is stripped of professional engineering fundamentals.
The commercial scope
A straightforward business website can be a new build, rebuild or transfer within the agreed scope.
Complex commerce, custom applications, large migrations, specialist integrations, paid licences and unusual content requirements are quoted separately.
- Initial discovery and scope confirmation
- Responsive implementation
- Normal content migration or creation within agreed scope
- DNS and SSL launch configuration
- Google service setup where applicable
- Chosen business-email provider connection where practical
Quality standard
The site is expected to be a real production website, not a disposable mock-up or generated page dump.
The finished implementation is reviewed for usability, technical search foundations, mobile behaviour and deployment quality before launch.
- Semantic HTML and sensible document structure
- Responsive layouts
- Accessible interaction patterns
- Performance-conscious assets
- HTTPS and managed DNS
- Source-controlled deployment where applicable
Why the price is different
Modern AI systems can shorten research, first-pass implementation, repetitive coding, migration and testing tasks that once consumed many billable hours.
Around 15 years of web and digital experience provides the judgement needed to decide what should be automated, what should be kept simple and what requires human review.
- Lower labour overhead
- Faster iteration
- Reusable engineering patterns
- Modern managed infrastructure
- Human accountability for the final outcome
Web standards, code and frameworks
We are not locked to a single framework. Straightforward sites should stay straightforward; applications can use deeper stacks when justified.
