Websites for small businesses around New Zealand.
I’m Hamish, and I run Ripple, a small web studio in Ōtautahi Christchurch. I design and build websites myself, so you deal directly with me throughout the project, from the first conversation to launch and any help you need afterwards.
Straightforward websites start from $950. Larger projects are priced individually.
What I can do for you
A website for your business
From $950
A clean, fast website that tells people what you do and makes it easy to get in touch. Includes up to five pages and a layout that works on phones, tablets and computers.
Something bigger
Quoted for your project
Need more pages, online bookings, a shop or something built around the way your business works? We can work through what you need, and I’ll give you a written quote before starting.
Hosting and ongoing support
Optional, monthly
I can host your website and take care of updates and fixes after launch. The cost depends on what your site needs, and you’re free to arrange hosting elsewhere.
The 1000 Springs Project
A rebuilt website and interactive explorer for a scientific dataset covering New Zealand’s geothermal springs.
- The project
- The 1000 Springs Project, run by GNS Science and the University of Waikato, collected physical measurements, water chemistry and microbial data from springs across the Taupō Volcanic Zone.
- The problem
- The original website was around a decade old. The data was valuable, but the site was difficult to use on phones, and finding your way around the information could be a challenge.
- What I built
- A field guide explaining the springs and their hazards, alongside an interactive explorer with a map, filters, charts and individual pages for each spring.
- The result
- 792 spring records across 12 geothermal systems, with measurements, chemistry and microbial diversity linked back to their original records.
Data from the 1000 Springs Project, used under a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licence. I designed and built the website and explorer.
How a project works
We talk
We’ll have a quick call or exchange a few emails about your business and what you want the website to do.
I send you a quote
You’ll know what’s included, how much it costs and what to expect before I start.
I build the site
I’ll share it with you as I go, so you can try it out and let me know what needs changing.
We get it live
Once you’re happy with it, I’ll connect your domain and check everything is working. I can also look after the site afterwards if you’d like.
A small web studio in Christchurch
I’m Hamish Lindsay, and Ripple is my one-person web studio. I build websites and software in Ōtautahi Christchurch for businesses throughout New Zealand.
You’ll work directly with me, rather than being passed between a salesperson, designer and developer. I’ll explain the options, answer your questions and let you know if I think something isn’t worth the money.
I started Ripple to help small businesses get better websites without having to take on a big agency or figure out all the technical details themselves.
If you’re thinking about a new website, or your current one needs some work, get in touch and tell me what you have in mind.
Tell me about your business
Send me a few lines about your business and what you need. If you already have a website, include the link. I usually reply the same day on weekdays.
