Small business websites: from one page to four, done properly

Are we overkill for a simple website? No.

Looney Devs is best known for custom web apps and software, so people sometimes assume a three-page brochure site is too small for us. It is not. The habits that make our bigger projects fast and reliable, clean code, no plugin stacks, server-rendered pages and proper security, cost nothing extra on a small site. You simply get a small site that works like a big one.

What you do not get is the agency overhead: no account manager, no six-week discovery phase, no monthly retainer you did not ask for. You talk to the person who builds your site, you check a preview on your own phone, and you launch.

The ladder: one page, a few pages, or a full business site

Start with what you need today and add pages as the business grows. Every option is priced in New Zealand dollars before GST, straight from our quote builder, so there are no surprises.

• Landing page, $1,500: one focused page with everything a visitor needs. What you do, who it is for, where you are, and a clear way to call, book or ask for a quote.
• Extra pages, $350 each: add an about page, a services page, a gallery or a contact page to the landing page as you need them. A four-page site built this way is still well under the cost of a full business website.
• Business website, $4,500: home, about, services and contact included, plus two extra pages, for businesses that get compared against competitors before the phone rings.
• Template, custom or premium design on any of the above, depending on how much you want the site to stand out.

Fast, secure and reliable, not just pretty

Most small business sites are built on a page builder with a dozen plugins. They look fine on day one, then slow down, break on an update or get hacked through a plugin nobody maintains. We code sites in Next.js and React, the same technology large product companies use, and host them with HTTPS, automated deployments and backups from the start.

The result loads in well under two seconds on a phone, passes Google Core Web Vitals, and does not need weekly updates to stay secure. For a small business that means fewer support calls and a site that still works in three years.

Found on Google from day one

A small site has to work hard on search, because it is often the only marketing a small business does. Every site ships with the technical SEO already done: unique titles and descriptions, a sitemap, structured data that tells Google your business name, location and services, and fast server-rendered pages. We also help you set up your Google Business Profile so you show up in the map results for your suburb.

Who this is for

The simple-site option fits:

• Trades and sole operators who need a credible page that ranks for their suburb and service
• Cafés, salons, studios and clinics that need hours, location, a menu or prices and a booking link
• New businesses testing an idea before investing in a bigger site
• Professionals, consultants and coaches who mostly need people to find them and get in touch
• Anyone replacing a slow, dated or hacked page-builder site with something that just works

How it runs

You price the site in the quote builder in about five minutes and we confirm by email. We agree the page structure, you send photos and draft text, and we build the site with a private preview link you can check on your phone. A landing page is typically live within one to two weeks and a four-page site in two to three. Hosting and support are optional add-ons, not a condition of the job.
