Lighthouse Web Aotearoa
We design a high-fidelity, interactive website concept before you pay a thing. See the work. Feel the difference. Then decide.

The idea behind Lighthouse Web
Most studios ask you to imagine what your website could be. We’d rather just show you.
A finished design is the only pitch that can’t exaggerate. You either see your business in it, or you don’t.
Before we introduce ourselves, we learn how your business works and build the website we believe it deserves. Then we send you the key.
No mockups. No moodboards. No forty-page proposals.
Aotearoa New Zealand — the coast we work from
02 — How it works
Three quiet steps. You only decide at the end.
We study your business.
We learn what you do, how you speak and what your customers search for — using relevant public business information, then checking it with you.
RESEARCH — CAREFUL, LIMITED, REVIEWED
We build the preview.
We design and write a high-fidelity interactive website concept, then place it at an access-key-protected Lighthouse address for you.
DESIGN — INTERACTIVE, POLISHED, RESTRICTED
You see it and decide.
Your email includes the access key. Love the work and we agree a clear launch proposal before you commit; say no and you owe nothing.
DECISION — ENTIRELY YOURS
No deposits
No pressure
No obligation
A final price agreed before you commit
03 — What’s included
Considered, complete, and cared for.
Every website we build carries the same standard — whether it’s for a two-chair barber or a twelve-boat charter company. The preview you receive is already built this way.
01
Design & words
Layout, art direction and copy written for how New Zealanders actually read and buy — not filler shipped from a template.
02
Found locally
Structured so your neighbourhood can find you — the suburb by name, the “near me”, the services people genuinely search for.
03
Speed
Fast on a rural connection and gentle on a data plan. Every image, font and script earns its place.
04
Access for everyone
Readable contrast, keyboard navigation, screen-reader friendly structure. Your customers aren’t all the same, and your website shouldn’t assume so.
05
Hosting & care
Your launch proposal sets out the hosting, monitoring, patching and backup care we’ll provide while you run your business.
06
It keeps evolving
Seasonal menus, new photos, a price that changed. Your agreed care plan makes routine updates clear and easy.
Who we build for
04 — Live proof
Proof should be live, not hypothetical.
Elite Dental Care is a real Auckland website designed and built by Digifinity — the studio behind Lighthouse Web.
It wasn’t commissioned through Lighthouse Web, and we won’t pretend otherwise. It shows the quality, thinking and complete build standard we bring to your project.
Elite Dental Care remains an independent Digifinity project. Shown here with permission as a standard-of-work example.

01
Clear journeys
Services, pricing and the right next step are always easy to find.
02
Built to convert
Online booking turns attention into a real appointment.
03
Complete platform
Team, treatments, reviews and trust signals work as one system.
05 — Where we work
Built here. For here.
Lighthouse Web is New Zealand owned and operated. We design for the businesses that hold this coastline together — the cafés, clinics, trades, farms and galleries between Cape Reinga and Bluff.
Local hours. Global-grade infrastructure. A studio that knows the difference between Riverton and Riversdale — and answers its own email.

A light left on for you
06 — Access-key previews
Your preview opens with a key.
Every website concept begins at a dedicated preview address — yourbusiness.lighthouseweb.co.nz.
The customer-facing address opens with an access key and carries search-engine noindex controls. Share the key only with people you trust. If you decide to proceed, we agree the launch scope in writing and refine it with you. If not, the preview is withdrawn.
07 — Fair questions
You’re right to ask.
There isn’t one. We only build previews for businesses we genuinely believe we can serve well. If the work isn’t right for you, it goes dark and you owe us nothing.
The preview is free. If you want to launch, we give you a written proposal with one clear price and the exact design, build, copy, launch, hosting and care scope. You see the work and the complete investment before you agree to anything.
Open your current site and the preview side by side. Keep whichever serves your business better — even if that’s the one you already have.
Most previews are ready within two weeks. Refinements, domain connection and launch often take another two, depending on your feedback, content and any integrations. Your written proposal confirms the project plan.
Your domain and content remain yours. Our written agreement sets out the transfer or licence of bespoke design and code after payment, while stock, fonts and open-source components keep their existing licences. If you move on, we provide the agreed handover and part on good terms.
No. We draft every page from relevant public business facts, then work with you to correct and polish it. For launch, we use photos you own or authorise, properly licensed imagery, or art-direct what’s needed.
The preview goes dark. We don’t reuse it for a competitor or keep chasing you. “No” is a complete answer.
