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.
Clear scope. Clear pricing.
A good place to start.

A clear website that helps customers choose you
A good local business website should answer the questions customers have before they call: what you do, where you work, why they should trust you, and how to take the next step. FernByte designs websites for Palmerston North and Manawatu businesses with that practical journey in mind. We combine design, development, local SEO foundations, and ongoing technical support in one place.
Mobile-friendly design
Your website is designed to work clearly on phones, tablets, and desktops. We review the navigation, text, images and enquiry forms on smaller screens so customers can explore your services and contact you without pinching or sideways scrolling.
Local SEO foundations
SEO-friendly web design starts with useful service pages, clear headings and descriptive page titles. We prepare descriptions, clean URLs, internal links and sitemap support, and include relevant business and service information. These foundations help Google understand the website; ongoing search growth is a separate task and rankings are not guaranteed.
Fast, focused pages
We keep pages lightweight and organise the journey around the actions your customer should take: call, enquire, book, or buy.
A site you own
Your website is built for your business, with clear handover and practical options for hosting, updates, and ongoing technical support.
Built around your customers
Small business website design in Palmerston North
Your website does not need every possible feature. It needs to explain your business, answer the questions customers ask and make the next step easy. We agree the pages and enquiry journey before the build, with a package or custom quote that fits the work.
Service businesses and trades
Show your services, the areas you cover and how to request a quote or visit. Our Shadz Automotive project combines dedicated WOF, servicing and repairs pages with phone links and a booking-request journey. The workshop confirms each appointment.

Help visitors understand each service before they enquire. For Bevan Gray Advisory, we organised leadership advisory, executive education and governance into separate pages, supported by an insights library and a direct contact journey.

An online store needs product information, payments, inventory and shipping details. Our E-Commerce package includes up to 15 initial products. Tell us about the catalogue and any existing systems so we can confirm the scope and third-party costs before work starts.
Compare website packagesSupport after launch
Web design, hosting and updates
A finished website still needs hosting and a way to keep business information current. FernByte's published monthly plans start at $49 for Starter, $99 for Business and $149 for E-Commerce, alongside the one-off build fee. We confirm the hosting arrangement and support scope in your quote.
Keeping your information current
Starter includes one small update per month, Business two and E-Commerce three. These cover small text and image changes. New pages, additional features and substantial redesigns are quoted separately; unused updates do not carry over.
Editing and handover
Tell us if you need to publish articles, update products or edit pages yourself. We agree the editing tools and access for your project before the build. After full payment, you own the completed website work created specifically for you, subject to our terms and third-party licences. Hosting cancellation includes a handover.
Domains and substantial copywriting or photography are separately quoted unless expressly included. Plan your first-year website budget

From first conversation to launch
We start with your customers, services, goals, and existing brand. From there we agree on the pages and features, then give you a clear quote and realistic timeline. You see the direction before launch and can give feedback in plain English. Once approved, we complete the technical setup, check the mobile experience, and make the site ready to share.
Plan
A short discovery conversation turns your goals into a practical page and content plan.
Design and build
We create the site, prepare the key search metadata, and keep you updated as it comes together.
Review and launch
You review the result, we complete final checks, and the approved website goes live.
Support
Choose ongoing hosting and updates, or take a clear handover. Local help remains available when you need it.
Local when you want to talk
FernByte is based in Palmerston North. That means you can work with a nearby team for your website, hosting, and business IT support instead of coordinating several providers.

Good questions. Clear answers.
Frequently asked questions.
How much does web design cost in Palmerston North?
Our Starter package is from NZD $499 setup plus $49/month. Business is from $999 setup plus $99/month, and E-Commerce from $1,499 setup plus $149/month. The setup fee covers the agreed design and build; the monthly plan covers hosting, security and the included updates. Domains, substantial content creation and additional features are quoted separately. We confirm your scope and costs before work begins.
How quickly can my new website launch?
Most focused business websites can launch in 3-14 days once we have the content, images, approvals, and access we need. Larger or more complex projects take longer, and we will give you a realistic timeline in the quote.
Can you help with website hosting and updates?
Yes. We can include a hosting option and ongoing support, or provide a clear handover if you prefer to manage the site elsewhere. FernByte also provides local IT support, so you have one team for the website and wider business technology.
Will my website be set up for Google?
We include core technical and on-page SEO foundations such as page titles, descriptions, headings, clean URLs, mobile responsiveness, sitemap support, and relevant local business information. Rankings still depend on competition, content quality, authority, and time.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Send us your current website and explain what needs to work better, such as the mobile layout, service information or enquiry journey. We review the existing pages, content and features before recommending a redesign scope. Tell us about any booking, payment or other integrations you need to keep so these can be included in the quote.
Who owns the website, and can I move it later?
After full payment, the custom code and completed website work created for your project are yours. If you stop hosting with FernByte, we provide a handover so you can continue with another provider. Third-party licensed assets and paid subscriptions are excluded unless they are transferable.
Do you only build websites for Palmerston North businesses?
No. This page is for our local Palmerston North and Manawatu service, but FernByte also designs websites for businesses across New Zealand and Australia, with worldwide enquiries welcome.
