Mount Maunganui
Your web designer in Mount Maunganui
Looney Devs is based right here at the Mount. We design and build websites, booking systems and online stores for the cafés, accommodation, tourism operators, trades and professionals who make the Mount what it is.
A studio at the foot of Mauao
This is home. We live and work at the Mount, between Main Beach, Maunganui Road and the industrial streets off Hewletts Road, so we know the rhythm of the place: the summer rush, the cruise ship days, the quiet winter weeks when every booking counts.
That rhythm shapes the websites Mount businesses need. A visitor stepping off a cruise ship or arriving for a long weekend is searching on a phone, often on patchy mobile data, and deciding in seconds. Your site has to load instantly, show the essentials up front and let them book, order or find you without friction.
What Mount businesses ask us for
The Mount has a distinctive business mix, and our work reflects it:
- Cafés and restaurants: menus that load fast, opening hours and online ordering
- Accommodation and holiday rentals: direct booking that saves on platform commission
- Tourism and activities: surf schools, tours and hire with online booking and payments
- Health, fitness and beauty: class timetables, memberships and appointment booking
- Trades and industrial businesses near the port: quote-request sites that win local jobs
- Real estate and property services: listings, appraisals and lead capture
Direct bookings, fewer commissions
Many Mount businesses rely on booking platforms that take a cut of every sale. Those platforms are useful for discovery, but a good direct booking path on your own website keeps more of the margin for repeat guests and locals. We build booking and payment flows that connect to the calendar and tools you already use, so a direct booking takes no more admin than a platform one.
Local, in person, and quick to respond
Being local means we can sit down with you, walk through your business and see it the way your customers do. It also means fast answers in the same time zone when something needs changing before a busy weekend.
Most of the process still happens online: you price the project in our quote builder, review progress on a private preview link and approve changes from your phone. You get the convenience of a remote team with a familiar face down the road.
