Who builds websites for New Zealand businesses?
99 Francs is a web design and development studio working with New Zealand clients remotely. The team shipped Auckland property websites — 4 Madeira Place in Grafton and The Pacifica Penthouse in Auckland CBD — in collaboration with Glasshouse Digital. Projects are outcome-based with no upfront payment: promo landing pages start from NZ$2,000, marketing websites from NZ$3,000, and property websites run NZ$8–15K, with no GST added on top.
How payment works
No deposit. You pay when a phase is done — and you're happy with it.
Most agencies start with an invoice. We start with work. Every project is split into phases with a fixed scope and price, and payment happens only at the end of a phase, once you've seen the result working.
No upfront payment
There is no deposit. We start the first phase at our own risk — our only path to revenue is progress you actually want to pay for.
Pay at the end of each phase
You review the working result — design, pages, code — and pay only when you're satisfied with it. If you're still not satisfied after revisions, you owe nothing for that phase.
Honest exits
Either side can stop between phases, and you keep everything produced so far. No lock-in, no sunk-cost pressure.
What you get
Development that keeps the website fast, editable and faithful to the design.
The build should not flatten the design or create a maintenance problem. We keep implementation decisions tied to performance, content ownership, responsive behavior and the launch goal.
Design and development in one team
Strategy, UX, visual design and the build stay with one senior team — no handoffs between a design shop and a separate dev shop.
Webflow or Next.js build
We build in Webflow when your team needs easy content editing, or in React/Next.js when the site needs custom logic, integrations or app-like behavior.
CMS and content ownership
Collections, templates and editor workflows planned so your team can publish pages, listings and posts without calling a developer.
Technical SEO baseline
Metadata, structured data, sitemaps, redirects and performance are part of the build — the site is ready for Google and AI search from day one.
What it costs
Honest ranges in NZD — fixed per phase, no GST added on top.
Promo / campaign landing page
One focused page for ads traffic: design, build, forms and analytics.
from NZ$2,000
Marketing website
Multi-page site with CMS; the price scales with page count. A full multi-page studio site typically lands around NZ$5–7K.
from NZ$3,000
Property / real-estate website
Launch sites for developments and luxury listings, like 4 Madeira Place and The Pacifica Penthouse.
NZ$8–15K
Custom web development
React/Next.js builds with custom logic, integrations and product-like behavior.
from NZ$15K
Every project is split into phases with a fixed scope and price. You pay at the end of a phase — only when you're satisfied with the working result.
Best fit
Use this service when the website has to become a real launch surface, not just a mockup.
You're in New Zealand, we're not
Our working day overlaps the New Zealand morning, we work async by default and keep overlap hours for calls. 4 Madeira Place and The Pacifica Penthouse were both shipped remotely, in collaboration with Auckland's Glasshouse Digital.
You need proof, not promises
Two Auckland property websites are live and linked below, alongside logistics, e-commerce and SaaS work. And because payment comes after each phase, the proof always arrives before the invoice.
You've been burned by an agency before
The outcome-based model removes the usual risk: no deposit, fixed phase pricing, and you can stop between phases keeping everything produced so far.
You need it fast
A typical marketing site ships in two to four weeks, phase by phase, with the first working result inside the first week.
Process
From build scope to live website.
The process keeps design, content, CMS, integrations, QA and launch readiness in one line so the final site is easier to ship and maintain.
Scope the first phase
A short call or email thread. We define what phase one delivers, its fixed price in NZD and its timeline. No contract theatre, no deposit.
Design
Concept and page designs tuned to your brand and goal — you see and approve the direction before any build starts.
Build
Webflow or Next.js implementation with CMS, animations, forms, integrations and a technical SEO baseline.
Launch and support
QA across devices, launch checklist and handoff notes — then ongoing phases only if you want them.

Client testimonial
“Vines Estate sold out all 18 homes — and we believe Alexander's work on the landing page was a huge contributing factor. His designs were high-calibre at every step, our feedback (which was minimal) was actioned immediately, and the client was consistently impressed with the output. Couldn't recommend him highly enough.”

New Zealand web development FAQ
Questions New Zealand clients ask before working with us.
With 99 Francs, promo landing pages start from NZ$2,000, marketing websites from NZ$3,000 (scaling with page count), property and real-estate websites run NZ$8–15K, and custom web development starts from NZ$15K. These are final prices — no GST is added on top. Every phase has a fixed price agreed before it starts, and you pay only at the end of a phase.
No. There is no deposit and no upfront payment. Projects are split into phases with a fixed scope and price, and you pay at the end of each phase — only when you are satisfied with the working result. If you are still not satisfied after revisions, you owe nothing for that phase.
Yes. 99 Francs built the websites for 4 Madeira Place, a townhouse development in Grafton, Auckland, and The Pacifica Penthouse, the highest residence in New Zealand — both in collaboration with Auckland's Glasshouse Digital.
Our working day overlaps the New Zealand morning. We work async by default — clear briefs, recorded walkthroughs, same-day responses — and keep overlap hours for calls. Both of our Auckland projects were delivered remotely this way.
Both. We build in Webflow when your team needs to edit content easily, and in React/Next.js when the site needs custom logic, integrations or app-like behavior. We recommend the platform after understanding your content and your team.
Yes. We design and build custom AI agents when the wider product needs authentication, dashboards, approvals, customer-facing forms or integrations. Comparable custom agent work is priced at NZ$1,750–17,500, with no GST added — 30% below the public local range — and each phase is paid only after the working result is accepted.
A promo landing page takes about a week. A typical marketing website ships in two to four weeks, and property websites usually take three to six weeks depending on scope. Work is phased, so you see the first working result within the first week.
