Web design in Christchurch
One person, working directly with the owner. No account manager, no brief form, no agency in between.
Nuri Studio is a one-person web studio in Christchurch. It builds websites for small businesses — the practice, the restaurant, the trade, the shop — and it builds the systems behind them when the website alone is not the job.
Most quotes for a small business site come from an agency that will assign you to whoever is free, or from a template shop that will hand you something you cannot change afterwards. This is neither. You talk to the person building it, you see it on a real link while it is being built, and when it is done it is yours.
Work is taken across Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand — the studio is in Christchurch and the published work is in Auckland, so distance has not been the deciding factor. Being able to sit across a table from you sometimes is genuinely better, and it is not a requirement.
What you get
A site that loads immediately
Built as static pages where it can be, so it is fast on a phone on mobile data outside your shop. Speed is not a vanity metric here — it is the difference between a visitor waiting and a visitor leaving.
Something you can change yourself
Prices, hours, photos, a new service. If it is the kind of thing that changes, it is the kind of thing you should be able to change at seven on a Friday without ringing anyone.
Findable by the people looking for you
Proper page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and local business markup, set up when the site is built rather than sold to you as an extra six months later.
An enquiry that reaches you
A form that emails you directly, keeps what the customer typed if something goes wrong, and asks for enough to make your reply useful.

Not a mockup and not a list of logos — the systems described above, running, with a way in.
Questions
Do you only work with businesses in Christchurch?
No. The studio is based in Christchurch and takes work across New Zealand. The published work is an Auckland practice. Being in the same city means we can meet, which helps but has never been the deciding factor.
How long does a website take?
It depends on whether the job is a site or a system behind a site. A straightforward business site is a matter of weeks; something with ordering, bookings or an owner's dashboard behind it takes longer, and you see it on a real link the whole way through rather than waiting for a reveal at the end.
Will I be able to update it myself?
Yes, for the things that actually change. The point of the dashboard in the work above is that the owner adds a dish, changes a price or closes next Sunday without a developer, a deploy, or waiting until Monday.
Who will I be dealing with?
One person, the whole way through — the same person who builds it. There is no account manager and nothing gets handed to a team you have not met.
