JXM/STUDIO
About · The studio

We're a NZ + AU studio building websites, ads & AI.

Founded in Auckland, with operators in Melbourne and remote across NZ + AU. We work directly with business owners — no account managers, no outsourced juniors, no agency layers between you and the work.

Why we exist

Tired of agency theatre.

GroundUp Landscaping — one of our recent NZ web builds, ranked #1 on Google

We built JXM Studio because we kept watching business owners pay agencies thousands of dollars for slow, generic work. Pitch decks instead of working demos. Account managers playing telephone between the client and the people actually doing the building. Six-month timelines for what should take a month.

The owners deserved better. They deserved to talk directly with the designer and the developer, not an intermediary who'd relay the brief and then relay the feedback and charge for both.

So we set up JXM to do it differently. Every engagement is direct — the people on the weekly call are the people building your site. No junior handoffs. No outsourced developers. No mystery.

We work in 4-week sprints with a fixed price agreed up front. You see the site come together in real time on a staging URL. Weekly check-ins keep you in the loop without turning into email chains. Most projects ship in a month.

What we stand for

01 · Transparency

Honest communication

No hidden costs, no confusing jargon, no surprise invoices. You see what's being built every week on a live staging URL.

02 · Direct access

You talk to the builders

You work directly with the people designing and building your site — not an account manager passing notes. Weekly calls with the actual team.

03 · Fixed timelines

We ship on the date

4-week sprints with a fixed price up front. We tell you the date and we ship on it. No slipped deadlines, no vague status updates.

04 · Quality that ranks

Sites that load and rank

We build sites that load fast, look sharp and rank on Google. The numbers from our portfolio speak for themselves.

How we work.

01 · 01

Discover

Free 30-min call. We map your goals, your audience, your budget and what to ship first. You leave the call with a real direction, even if you don't end up hiring us.

02 · 02

Build

Fixed timeline, fixed price, weekly check-ins. Real designs you can poke at — not slide decks. You see the site come together in real time on a staging URL.

03 · 03

Ship

Launch day support, analytics wired in from day one, training so your team can run the site without us. We hang around for the inevitable launch-week tweaks.

Where we work.

Auckland · NZ

Our home base. Most of the team is here. We do in-person meetings around Auckland for local clients.

Melbourne · AU

Our Australian base. We work with clients across Victoria, NSW and Queensland from here.

Remote · NZ + AU + global

We've shipped work for clients in Wellington, Christchurch, Brisbane, Sydney, San Diego and beyond. The whole engagement runs over video calls and a shared staging URL.

Common questions.

Where are you based?+
Auckland, New Zealand is our home base, with an Australian base in Melbourne. The wider team is distributed across NZ and AU.
Do you work with businesses outside NZ and AU?+
Yes — we've shipped projects in the US, Europe and beyond. Most of the engagement is async plus weekly video calls, so distance doesn't matter much.
How long does a typical project take?+
2–6 weeks depending on scope. A 5-page trade site is usually 2–3 weeks. An e-commerce build with custom integrations is 4–8 weeks. We give you a fixed timeline up front, not a rough estimate.
How much does it cost?+
Websites range from $1k for a simple landing page or one-pager, right up to $15k for a full custom build with multiple pages, integrations and SEO baked in. AI implementations range from $2k–$30k depending on scope. We quote everything as a fixed price up front — no surprise invoices, ever.
Do you offer ongoing support after launch?+
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance and improvement retainers, and we're available for ad-hoc tweaks too. Most clients stay on a retainer because they keep adding features after launch.
What makes you different from other agencies?+
No middlemen. No outsourced juniors. No six-month timelines for what should take a month. You talk directly with the people doing the work, every step of the way.
