How It Works
From first conversation to live website in 72 hours. Here's exactly what working with Searchable looks like — no surprises, no jargon.

Discovery Call
We start with a free 30-minute call to understand your business, your goals, and what you need from your website. We'll talk through how many pages you want, the style and feel you're after, and whether you have existing branding — or need us to create it.
- check_circlePages and site structure
- check_circleDesign style and references
- check_circleBranding — logo, colours, fonts (we can create these for you if needed, quoted separately)
- check_circlePhotography and imagery (we can source stock photos)
- check_circleYour timeline and any specific requirements
Domain Purchase or Transfer
Every website needs a domain. We'll help you secure the right one — or transfer your existing domain across. Importantly, the domain is always registered in your name. You own it. We simply manage the technical setup on your behalf.
- check_circleNew domain: we'll recommend and purchase it under your name
- check_circleExisting domain: we handle the transfer or DNS update
- check_circleYou retain full ownership and can take it anywhere at any time
- check_circleWe manage renewals and DNS on your behalf
Your domain belongs to you — not us. If you ever leave, you take it with you.
Content & Asset Collection
Before we can build, we need your content. This is usually the step that determines how fast a project moves. The more prepared you are, the faster we can build. We'll send you a simple checklist so nothing gets missed.
- check_circleWritten content for each page (or we can write it for you)
- check_circleYour logo in a high-resolution format
- check_circleAny photos of your business, team, or work
- check_circleYour contact details and business information
- check_circleLogins to any existing platforms if transferring content
Not sure about your copy? We offer copywriting as an add-on — just let us know on the call.
We Build Your Site
Once we have everything we need, we get to work. Most standard sites are built and ready for review within 72 hours. More complex projects — custom features, large page counts, e-commerce — may take longer, and we'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
- check_circleMobile-first, responsive design
- check_circleFast load times optimised for NZ users
- check_circleSEO foundations built in — page titles, meta descriptions, sitemap
- check_circleContact form and Google Maps (if required)
- check_circleConnected to a simple content management system so you can update it yourself
The 72-hour clock starts once we have all your content and assets — not from the initial call.
Review & Revisions
We'll share a staging link so you can review the site before it goes live. You'll have the chance to request changes — wording, layout, colours, anything that doesn't feel right. We include two rounds of revisions in every project.
- check_circlePrivate staging link to review before launch
- check_circleTwo rounds of revisions included
- check_circleConsolidated feedback works best — gather all your notes before sending
- check_circleAdditional revision rounds available if needed
Launch & Handover
Once you're happy, we launch. We handle all the technical steps — connecting your domain, configuring SSL, submitting to Google Search Console, and setting up analytics. We also walk you through how to use your CMS so you can make simple updates yourself.
- check_circleDomain connected and SSL certificate activated
- check_circleGoogle Search Console and sitemap submitted
- check_circleGoogle Analytics set up
- check_circleCMS walkthrough so you can edit content yourself
- check_circleFull handover of all logins and credentials
You leave with everything — logins, credentials, and the knowledge to manage your own site.
Hosting & Ongoing Support
Your site runs on a fast, reliable global hosting platform. We manage the infrastructure so you never have to worry about downtime, security, or updates. And if you ever need changes made, we're a message away.
- check_circleManaged hosting on a global CDN — fast anywhere in New Zealand
- check_circleSecurity monitoring and software updates handled for you
- check_circleContent updates available on request (charged per hour or via a monthly support plan)
- check_circlePriority support for existing clients
