New Zealand's development market is small, which means good local teams are frequently booked out and rates reflect scarcity as much as skill. For well-specified projects, that combination makes an offshore team with clear accountability an easy comparison to make.
We keep an Auckland office for local contracting and deliver with one senior engineering team, on the same written terms as every other market we work in.
Local office: Auckland CBD, Auckland 1010. Meet in person, or work entirely over WhatsApp — the terms and the team are identical either way.

Questions, answered.
How much timezone overlap is there?
Can data be hosted in New Zealand or Australia?
Do you work with Australian and New Zealand clients differently?
How fast will we get a quote?
Do we own the source code?
What are the payment terms?
What happens after launch?
Six things we put in writing.
Not values on a wall — contract terms. Ask any other supplier to match them line by line.
A price in 24 hours
Send a brief, get a fixed written price and a delivery date the next working day. Free, no obligation, and the scope document is yours to keep even if you go elsewhere.
The price does not move
Fixed, not an estimate. If scope changes we re-quote in writing and you approve before we build it. You will never open a surprise invoice.
Half on delivery
50% to start, 50% when it is live and you are satisfied. You never fund the whole project up front.
Unlimited design revisions
We do not write production code until you approve the screens. Changing your mind at that stage costs nothing.
You own everything
Full source code, design files and credentials on delivery. No licence, no platform fee, nothing that stops another developer taking over.
30 days of fixes included
Free bug fixing for a month after launch, then an optional retainer only if you want one.
Every one of these is in the agreement before you pay anything. See how we evidence our claims →
