Websites, stores and apps for New Zealand businesses, at a fixed price.
A senior team that has shipped websites since 2011, with a written scope, a fixed price and replies the same working day.
The Dev Studio works with businesses across New Zealand, from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to Hamilton, Tauranga, Dunedin and Queenstown. We design and build websites and Shopify stores, run SEO and paid ads, and build mobile apps.
New Zealand customers expect GST-inclusive prices, familiar ways to pay and a site that works well on a phone. We build for all three and set up tracking so you can see what brings enquiries and sales.

- Wellington

We work remotely, so anywhere in New Zealand is covered. Our morning overlaps with the end of the New Zealand working day, and we reply on WhatsApp and email within one working day.
