Good work.
In their words.
The people behind the projects.
Here’s what working with FernByte felt like.
A closer look
Working with Avi has been a great experience from start to finish. He has delivered high-quality work, been responsive and flexible throughout the process, and consistently taken feedback on board to get the details right. I’ve been very pleased with both the quality of the final website and the level of service provided, and I’d happily recommend Avi and Fernbyte to others.

Before we
get started.
Costs, timelines and the details in between. Here’s what you need to know about your new website.
Something else on your mind?
Ask us directlyHow much does a website cost?
Professional websites start from NZD $499 for Starter, $999 for Business and $1,499 for E-Commerce. Managed hosting starts from $49, $99 and $149 per month respectively.
How long does it take to build a website?
Package targets are 3 days for Starter, 7 days for Business and 14 days for E-Commerce from deposit. Customer delays, scope changes and custom requirements can extend delivery.
Do you serve businesses across Australia and New Zealand?
Yes! We serve businesses across New Zealand and Australia. Being a dedicated NZ/AU team means you get direct communication with your web designer—no offshore handoffs or timezone issues.
What's included in the setup price?
Every package includes mobile-responsive design, SEO foundations, contact forms, basic analytics, SSL setup and handover. Managed hosting starts from $49, $99 or $149 per month. Domains and substantial content creation are quoted separately.
Will my website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website is designed to work across phones, tablets and desktops, with mobile usability checked before launch.
Do you offer payment plans?
Website projects normally use a minimum 20% deposit and the remaining 80% on completion. Another schedule applies only when agreed in writing before work begins.
What if I'm not happy with the design?
Starter includes one design-revision round, Business includes two and E-Commerce includes three. Additional revisions or scope changes are quoted separately. We proceed beyond the draft direction only after approval.
Is SEO included?
Yes. Every website includes SEO best practices: fast loading speeds, mobile optimization, meta tags, structured data, sitemap, and clean code. For businesses wanting to rank higher in local search, we offer ongoing SEO packages.
