Web development by the person who answers your questions.
Matthias has been building for the web since 2004. Our sites are built to be fast, accessible and easy for your team to edit, and joined to the bookings, shop and CRM you already use.
What we build
A CMS your team will actually use
Every build includes a client-editable CMS, set up around how you publish. For one recruitment client, adding a new job takes about five minutes, photos included.
Integrations
Bookings, CRM forms, buyer registrations, calculators, client portals. One simple integration is in a Core Build, up to three in a Growth Build, and a Flagship is scoped.
Headless when it fits
Sometimes the right answer is several systems behind one site. TOSTÉ runs a Next.js front end with Sanity for content and Shopify for the shop, so each part does what it is good at.
Speed and accessibility as standard
Fast pages, clean markup and accessibility standards are part of every build, as is the SEO foundation: structure, titles, descriptions, a sitemap and analytics.
How a build runs
You get a fixed price for an agreed scope. A 40 to 50% deposit books the project, and the balance is paid at milestones. Anything outside the scope is quoted in writing before work starts.
You review the site on a staging address before launch. Launch includes training and a handover pack, and after that a care plan keeps it current. See website maintenance.

Questions about web development.
- How much does custom web development cost?
- Builds start at NZ$20,000 to NZ$25,000 for up to ten pages, NZ$35,000 to NZ$45,000 for up to twenty with copywriting and a brand refresh, and from NZ$60,000 for larger projects. Prices are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST.
- Which CMS do you use?
- Every build includes a client-editable CMS, chosen for how your team publishes rather than out of habit. Where a site has distinct parts, it can be several systems behind one front end: TOSTÉ uses Sanity for content and Shopify for the shop.
- Can you connect the site to our booking system or CRM?
- Yes. Integrations with bookings, CRMs, portals and calculators are part of every package: one simple integration in a Core Build, up to three in a Growth Build, and scoped on a Flagship.
- Do you build web apps, portals and custom tools?
- Yes. Client and member portals, multi-location or multi-language sites and custom calculators and tools are priced separately, in writing, rather than bundled into a package.
- How long does a website build take?
- A Core Build typically takes six to eight weeks and a Growth Build ten to fourteen. The variable is almost always content and photography, not development.
- Who owns the website?
- You do. Your domain, your content and your accounts are in your name, and if you ever leave, you leave with everything.
