Tahi Digital Agency — Web Design & Digital Marketing, Wellington

Web Design

Websites that earn their keep

Every site we build starts with your business goal — more bookings, more enquiries, more online sales — and every design decision flows from that. No templates, no page-builders, no themes. Just clean code written for your customers and for Google.

Brochure sites

Five to twelve pages of sharp copy, fast-loading imagery and a contact form that actually gets answered. Built on a CMS you can edit yourself. From $4,500.

E-commerce

Shopify or WooCommerce stores with payment, shipping zones and inventory baked in from day one. Includes three months of post-launch support. From $8,500.

Web applications

Booking systems, client portals, membership areas — the custom tools that make your business run. Scoped and quoted per project, typically $12,000–$25,000.

All sites include HTTPS, 90+ Lighthouse scores, NZ-hosted infrastructure and a twelve-month warranty on bugs.

Digital Marketing

Spend less, show up more

We manage Google Ads, organic SEO and social campaigns for businesses that want to know exactly where their money goes. Every client gets a monthly report they can actually read — plain language, real numbers, next steps.

Google Ads management

Search, display and shopping campaigns. We write the ads, build the landing pages and tune the bids weekly. Management from $850/month + ad spend.

SEO

Technical audit, content strategy, local citations and link building for businesses targeting NZ customers. From $1,200/month, six-month minimum.

Social media

Content calendars, ad creative and community management across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. From $950/month for two platforms.

No lock-in contracts. We keep clients because the numbers work, not because of fine print.

Case Studies

What the work looks like

Kapiti Coast Kitchens

A Paraparaumu kitchen renovation company getting zero online leads despite spending $1,800/month on Google Ads.

Problem
Generic ads pointed at the home page. No conversion tracking. Broad-match keywords burning budget on "kitchen design ideas" searchers with no intent to hire.
What we did
Built dedicated landing pages for "kitchen renovation Kapiti" and "custom kitchens Wellington", restructured campaigns around exact-match and phrase-match terms, installed call tracking and form analytics.
Result
Cost per lead dropped from $420 to $68 in four months. Monthly qualified enquiries went from 2 to 19 on the same ad budget.
–84% cost per lead9.5× more enquiries

Tidal Yoga Studio

A new Petone studio with no web presence, launching into a suburb with four established competitors.

Problem
No website, no Google Business Profile, no class booking system. The owner was managing everything through Instagram DMs.
What we did
Designed and built a ten-page site with integrated class booking via Momoyoga, set up Google Business Profile with weekly posts and review prompts, ran a three-month Facebook awareness campaign targeting Petone, Eastbourne and Lower Hutt.
Result
127 class bookings in the first month. The studio hit 80% class capacity by month three and dropped the Facebook ads because word of mouth took over.

Henderson & Park Lawyers

A Thorndon commercial law firm whose decade-old website ranked on page four for "commercial lawyer Wellington."

Problem
An outdated site with no blog, no schema markup, 8-second load times and zero internal linking strategy.
What we did
Rebuilt the site for speed (0.9s LCP), published twelve long-form guides on NZ commercial law topics, implemented FAQ schema and practice-area structured data, earned links from NZ Law Society and Wellington Chamber.
Result
Page one for "commercial lawyer Wellington" within five months. Organic traffic grew 340% over twelve months, now the firm's largest source of new-client enquiries.

Our Process

Six steps, no surprises

  1. Discovery call

    A free 30-minute call where we learn about your business, your customers and what success looks like. We ask more questions than we answer.

  2. Strategy & proposal

    Within a week you receive a written proposal with scope, timeline, fixed price and the metrics we will use to prove the work is paying off.

  3. Design

    Wireframes first, then high-fidelity mockups in the browser — not Photoshop. You see real pages on your phone before we write a line of production code.

  4. Development

    Clean, semantic code built for speed, accessibility and search engines. We test on real devices and run Lighthouse, axe and Pa11y before every deploy.

  5. Launch

    We handle DNS, SSL, redirects, Google Search Console, analytics and the go-live checklist. You get a screencast walkthrough of your new CMS.

  6. Ongoing optimisation

    Monthly reporting on traffic, conversions and ad spend. Quarterly strategy reviews. We tune what's working and cut what isn't. Optional retainer from $650/month.

The Team

Four people, one floor, no account managers

We don't hand you off. The person on the strategy call is the person building your site and reading your analytics.

Mere Whaitiri

Creative Director

Ex-Saatchi, ex-Clemenger. Left big-agency life in 2020 to start Tahi from a Cuba Street co-working desk. Runs brand strategy, UX and client relationships.

Josh Carrington

Lead Developer

Full-stack with a preference for the front. Writes semantic HTML, accessibility-first CSS and the smallest JavaScript he can get away with. Previously at Catalyst IT.

Priya Reddy

Digital Strategist

Google Ads certified, Analytics certified, allergic to dashboards nobody reads. Manages campaigns, writes ad copy and produces monthly reports clients actually open.

Sam Ngata

Content & SEO

Journalist turned content strategist. Writes the long-form guides, manages the editorial calendar and does the outreach nobody else wants to do.

"We've tried three agencies in five years. Tahi is the first one where I can actually reach the person doing the work. Our enquiries doubled in the first quarter."

— Hana Mitchell, Kapiti Coast Kitchens

"They said they'd get us on page one and they did it in five months. No other agency even gave us a timeline."

— Richard Park, Henderson & Park Lawyers

"Mere's team built our booking site in four weeks and it's been rock solid. I haven't had a single DM asking how to book since launch."
