WebCanny

Based in Napier and serving small businesses across New Zealand and Australia, WebCanny focuses on affordable website design and related digital services. Over 15 years the agency states it has sold more than 9000 websites, working with clients such as charter operators, clinics, mortgage brokers, wedding services, furniture retailers and car care businesses. Its client base is largely small and medium-sized operators looking for low-cost, straightforward web presence rather than large-scale enterprise builds. The core service is packaged web design, including responsive website builds, responsive re-designs, upgrades from static to responsive sites, Facebook-integrated site layouts and e-commerce shopping cart builds with payment gateway setup. Packages bundle domain registration, web hosting, email accounts and, in some cases, SSL certificates. WebCanny also lists SEO, IT managed services, social media marketing and video production, including explainer videos, among its offerings. Its build process follows a five-step method: an initial consultation to select a domain name and understand the client's business, selection from a library of design layouts, content addition with input from a content writer aimed at search ranking, a review stage where a draft is checked and adjusted, and a final launch stage that includes CMS training and email account setup. Monthly subscription packages are also offered, with some including a website built at no separate charge as part of the subscription.
