Web Engineering & Design
Websites that bring you work
A good website earns its cost back in enquiries. A bad one just sits there. The difference is rarely cosmetic. It's whether people find it on Google, trust it on mobile, and know exactly what to do when they land.
The Standard We Build To
Engineered for speed, conversion, and zero headache
99/100
Average Google PageSpeed & Core Web Vitals score on mobile.

The Difference
Typical agency templates vs. Areonix web engineering
A side-by-side breakdown of what happens when your website is treated as an engineered asset rather than a rented monthly headache.
| Operational Area | ✕ Typical Agency / WordPress & Wix | ✓ With Areonix Engineered Websites |
|---|---|---|
| Page Speed & Vitals | Slow 4–7s load times weighed down by 35+ plugins and bloated theme code. | Sub-second load times with 95–100 Google PageSpeed scores on mobile. |
| Ownership & Control | Proprietary platform lock-in or agency holding hosting and files hostage. | 100% full ownership of your source code, domain name, and media assets. |
| Security & Maintenance | Constant plugin alerts, PHP updates, database vulnerabilities, and spam bot attacks. | Pre-rendered static edge security with zero database attack surface. |
| Search Ranking (SEO) | Generic meta tag plugin with missing local Schema markup and poor mobile vitals. | Engineered Schema.org JSON-LD microdata, clean semantic HTML, and lightning LCP. |
| Content Updates | Complex page builders where moving a photo breaks the entire layout on mobile. | Send us the change and it's live the same day, with no page builder to wrestle with and no risk of breaking the layout. |
| Mobile Experience | Desktop layouts squeezed onto phones with tiny buttons and clunky popups. | Designed for thumbs first: big tap targets, click-to-call, and fast mobile forms. |
| Support After Launch | Agency disappears once the final invoice is paid, charging $180/hr for simple tweaks. | Reliable NZ hosting, automated daily backups, and prompt ongoing support. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers before we start
Everything you need to know about how we build, host, and support your website.
Do I actually own my website and domain name?
Yes, 100%. You own the domain name, the source code, and all images and text.
We don't believe in holding clients hostage. If you ever want to move your site elsewhere, we hand you everything with zero friction.
How easy is it for me to update text and photos?
You send us what needs to change (text, photos, pricing) and we get it live, usually the same day.
You're not editing a website's code yourself, so there's never a risk of breaking the page trying.
How long does a new website build usually take?
A standard business website typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from discovery to live launch.
E-commerce stores or custom web applications with complex integrations generally take 4 to 6 weeks. We give you a clear project schedule before we start.
Can you connect with my existing software (Xero, Stripe, CRM)?
Yes. We specialise in integrations. We can connect your quote forms and checkouts directly to Xero for invoicing, Stripe for card payments, or your CRM of choice.
What ongoing costs are involved?
Once built, you only pay for your domain renewal and fast NZ hosting & maintenance.
We don't charge mandatory monthly retainer lock-ins or surprise fees. Everything is stated clearly in your proposal before we write a single line of code.
