Websites that ship
leads, not impressions.

Conversion-built sites for trades, e-commerce and real estate. Fast, mobile-first, indexed by Google in a week — designed to ship leads not impressions.

Websites that ship leads, not slideshows.

In NZ and AU, your website is still the single highest-leverage marketing asset you own. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. SEO compounds. A well-built site for a trades business, an e-commerce brand, or a real estate agent will keep producing enquiries for years — if it was built properly to begin with. Most aren't. Most are slow, template-heavy sites that look fine on a designer's Retina screen but convert poorly on a 4G phone in a suburb at 7am.

The typical NZ web design agency builds for design awards, not conversion. The homepage looks great in the pitch, but the contact form is buried, the page takes 4 seconds to load on mobile, and Google can't figure out what suburb you serve. Custom websites done by a small, direct team — no account managers, no outsourced developers — are how you avoid that outcome.

JXM Studio builds custom websites for NZ and AU businesses from first principles. No templates. Mobile-first on every build. We target Lighthouse 95+ on performance, wire in SEO foundations (schema markup, suburb landing pages, sitemap, Google Search Console) from day one, and build every form and call-to-action to convert browsers into booked jobs. If you're searching for a web design Auckland studio or an NZ web design agency that talks straight and ships on time — this is it.

Common questions.

How long does a website take?+
Most sites ship in 2-5 weeks. A simple 5-page trade site takes ~2-3 weeks. A custom e-commerce build with integrations is 4-8 weeks. We give you a fixed date up front and we hit it.
How much does a website cost?+
Most builds land between $3-15k. Trade sites are usually $3-5k. E-commerce starts around $8k. Custom apps and complex builds are quoted individually. Every quote is fixed — no surprise invoices.
Do you do hosting?+
Yes. Most clients are hosted on Vercel or Netlify on our infrastructure for ~$30-50/month including a global CDN, SSL, and Cloudflare. You're never locked in — we'll happily migrate you to your own hosting if you'd rather.
What about SEO?+
Every site we build ships with SEO foundations: schema markup, suburb landing pages where relevant, sitemap, Google Search Console hooked up. Ongoing SEO (link building, content) is a separate retainer if you want it.
Do you build on WordPress?+
No. We build on Next.js (React) — faster, more secure, easier to maintain. If you specifically need WordPress for a CMS reason, we'll recommend a partner. But 95% of small businesses are better off on what we build.
What if I want to update the site myself afterwards?+
Easy. We wire up a simple CMS (Sanity / Payload / similar) for any content you'll want to change regularly — services, prices, blog posts. You get an admin panel; we hand over the keys.
