MOCA

Based in Tauranga, MOCA is a small web development and design team that works with businesses across New Zealand, as well as designers and agencies looking for a technical partner to build out their projects. The team describes itself as a mix of creatives and technical staff focused on turning complex business problems into working web applications, ranging from websites and client portals to eCommerce stores and custom software. Past project examples listed include work for Generation Homes, Kale Print, Tahi Health, Putahi Manawa, Road Science, Compatico and Budget Blinds, covering design, UX, development and CMS integration. Core services include website development, eCommerce build-outs, custom software, search and discovery (SEO), and hosting and maintenance, with stated specialisation in Craft CMS, Webflow and Shopify. AI advisory is also offered, aimed at helping clients adopt appropriate tools and automate tasks. The described working approach follows four stages: planning and focus (including workshops to understand business goals, audience and buying cycle), digital strategy (producing a site map, service schedule, timeframes and budget), execution (creative and functional design, technology implementation and content strategy), and measurement and review (ongoing performance monitoring alongside SEO and security checks). For designers and agencies, MOCA positions itself as a build partner, taking on the development side of projects designed by others, while for business owners it offers problem-solving workshops and recommendations for designers or strategists in addition to direct development work.
