Q: How much does a website cost in Greymouth?
Prices vary depending on your needs. For a basic brochure-style site, local designers typically quote from NZ$2000 to NZ$5,000. Custom builds, complex functionality, or e-commerce often cost more, sometimes NZ$5,000 and up, depending on features and integrations
Q: What should I expect included in the website build?
A standard small-business website often includes pages like Home, About, Services, Blog, and Contact, along with legal pages (e.g. privacy policy). Coastal Designs builds these included, adding SEO, responsive design, and CMS integration as standard
