What does your business website need?
Start with the questions a new customer would ask. A clear description of your services, the areas you serve and a simple way to enquire are more useful than filling pages with general sales language.
- Home: explain what your business offers and who it helps.
- Services: describe the work you do, with relevant scope and pricing information you are ready to publish.
- About: introduce the people behind your business and any qualifications you can substantiate.
- Work or products: use your own photos and accurate examples, with permission where needed.
- Contact: make your phone, email, service area and enquiry route easy to find on a mobile screen.
A trade business might focus on services and locations; a consultant might explain expertise and the enquiry process. You do not need every page type. We can discuss the structure that fits your business.
How to choose a website provider
Ask who writes the content, who builds the pages and who helps after launch. A DIY builder gives you tools to create the site yourself. Hosting alone provides somewhere for a site to run. Lokale is a done-for-you website service: you provide your business details, we prepare the website, and you review it.
Compare the full scope as well as the price. Confirm page limits, recurring fees, domain arrangements, update allowances and the cost of work outside the plan. Our pay monthly website guide explains the current Lokale options.
What is included from NZ$49/month?
The Starter plan includes up to five pages, mobile-ready design, an enquiry inbox and human design support. Larger plans offer additional features. Compare all current plans before deciding what you need.
You can review a preview before choosing a plan. A preview is private; publishing requires an eligible active subscription and completion of any required domain steps. Extra functionality or work beyond your plan allowance may require a separate quote.
What should you prepare?
Bring your business name, services, contact details and service area. If you have a logo, photos or a social page, share material you have permission to use. Check that business claims, prices and opening hours are accurate. Our AI website design guide explains how we use these details and where human review fits.
You do not need to choose a template or learn a website editor. Start with what you have and discuss any missing information with Imee.
