Heritage Saunas reached a 4.6% enquiry conversion rate against a 2.7% industry benchmark, with zero paid advertising and two to three qualified leads a week within three months of launch. That's what the site did, not what city it was built from.
A lot of the web design conversation in Wellington still centres on government and public sector work, which runs on a different set of priorities to a commercial business trying to convert enquiries into revenue. We work with established Wellington businesses from our Auckland and Queenstown studios, running discovery, design review and training over video as standard practice, not a workaround for distance.
Every project starts from a different position. What stays constant is the first question: what does this need to achieve commercially? The steps below are built around the answer.
We learn your business, your customers and what the site needs to achieve, run over video from the outset.
Every page designed and reviewed together, with changes made live on the call where useful.
Built to the approved design and tested properly before anything goes live.
Your team trained on the CMS before launch, over video with the same detail as an in-person session.
“We hired Skyrocket to rebuild our two websites on Shopify (one for NZ, one for Australia) and we were extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Skyrocket were efficient and cost-effective, delivering everything we wanted for our websites on time and on-budget. I have 15 years of experience in e-commerce and performance marketing, working both client side and agency side. I can honestly say that our project with Skyrocket was one of the smoothest I’ve experienced, and I would enlist them again in a second.”

Clean Collective
A new Webflow or Shopify site, designed and built from scratch. Discovery, wireframes, Figma design and a build structured for how your team manages content, run entirely over video.
Your current site has the bones but isn't performing commercially. We audit what's there, identify what's holding it back and redesign with a specific brief.
You have a live site and need a specialist in your corner. Development work, feature additions and performance improvements, handled the same way regardless of where you're based.
No. Discovery, design review and training all run over video as standard. Clients are welcome to visit either studio, but the process doesn't require it.
Most projects run eight to twelve weeks from a signed brief to launch. More complex builds with larger CMS architectures or custom integrations take longer.
Both. Which platform is right depends on whether the site needs to sell products directly. We'll recommend the platform that suits the business, not the one we'd rather build on.
Yes. We handle migrations from WordPress, Squarespace, Wix and other platforms, with URL mapping and SEO preservation built into the scope.
Before a project starts, we often come to you. Sitting in your space, understanding how the business operates and working through the brief face to face gives us context that a video call doesn't quite replicate.
