A proper home for your business. Clear, quick on a phone, easy to find on Google, and written so people know what to do next.
Website design in Hamilton, for businesses all over NZ
A website with a bit of cunning.
Sitefox builds good-looking, quick websites for small businesses, plus the clever parts behind them: online shops, food ordering, bookings and tools made for how you work.
45+ small-business websites built and live, and counting.
What we build
If your business needs it online, we can build it.
Online shops
Products, cart, checkout, order emails and a back office to run it from. No app store bolted on top.
Food ordering
Your menu, paid online, straight to a screen in the kitchen. No platform taking a cut of each order.
Bookings and enquiries
Let people book, ask or get a quote at 9pm, and have it land in your inbox ready to answer.
Website makeovers
Already got a site that looks tired or never brings in work? We rebuild it and keep what is worth keeping.
Google Ads
Be at the top of Google the day you want more work. We set up and look after your ads, aimed at the people and places you actually serve, so your budget isn't wasted.
From $150 NZD a month, plus your ad spend

Learning app
Spelling Challenge
Look, cover, spell, check. Each word appears as letter tiles with the tricky part in gold, then hides so it can be spelt from memory. This is the public demo of an app made for one learner.
- Eight letter patterns
- Hear each word read aloud
- Practise the words you missed
Learning app
Times Tables Challenge
The spelling game's maths partner. Pick a times table and work out one sum at a time, with no timer: accuracy comes before speed. Get one wrong and it counts you up to the answer.
- Every table from ×1 to ×12
- Mix it up across all tables
- Practise the sums you missed
The fun bits
Little touches people remember.
Like the swish under our own headline. Small, clever extras make a site feel like yours, and give people a reason to smile, stay and come back. Have a play with these ones from Akewz.
Akewz
A logo with a bit of life
The Akewz winged smiley floats gently on the home page and bobs along in the header. It is a tiny thing, but people notice it.

A Christmas page that counts down
Falling snow, a snowman and a live countdown to the last day to order for delivery before Christmas. Seasonal pages like this can come back every year.
Why Sitefox
Four house rules.
1
Fast beats fancy
Most of your customers are on a phone with one bar of signal. Every site is built to load quickly there first.
2
No cut of your sales
Your orders are your money. We charge for building and looking after the site, not a slice of each sale.
3
Plain English only
You get straight answers from a real person who built your site, not a ticket number and a help centre.
4
Built around you
No squeezing your business into a template. If you work a certain way, the site works that way too.
How it works
From a chat to a live site.
1
Tell us about it
What you do, who you do it for, and what you want the site to get done.
2
We get building
We write the words, sort the design and build the real thing, not a mock-up.
3
You try it out
Click around it on your own phone, tell us what to change, and we change it.
4
We go live
We connect your domain, get you on Google and keep it all running from there.

FAQ
Good questions.
What kinds of business do you work with?
Cafés, trades, trainers and ecommerce sites. If you are not sure you fit, ask.
Where are you based?
Hamilton, in the Waikato. We build websites for businesses all over New Zealand, so it does not matter where you are.
How long does it take?
A standard business website is usually a matter of days once we know what you need. Shops and bigger jobs take longer, and we will give you a straight timeframe with the quote.
Can I change things myself?
On shops and ordering sites, yes: you get a back office for products, prices and photos. On a business website, just send us the change and we will do it.
I already have a website. Can you take it over?
Yes. We rebuild it, keep what is working and move your domain across, so your email and your Google listing carry on as they should.
Do I need to write the words or take the photos?
No. We write the first draft of the words from what you tell us. Your own photos are always best, but we can work with what you have.
What are we building?
Tell us a bit about your business and what you are after. You will hear back from a real person.
