Website Design in Tauranga, Built to Be Found & Ready to Convert
Wix, Shopify & Squarespace websites for SMEs across New Zealand & Australia.
Your website has one job, to bring you customers while you get on with running your business. If yours is buried on page 3 of Google, looks dated, or is doing nothing, that is fixable. I design websites with the strategy, structure and SEO to actually pull their weight, then hand them over for you to update yourself, or step in when you need.

Who is this for ?
You boot-strapped your website at the start while figuring out everything there is to know about managing a business. But now your DIY brand and website isn't competing with the big players, and you're ready to up-level? Or maybe you want to make sure it's done right off the bat, enabling rapid business growth from the start.
I work 1:1 with founders, service providers and product creators, mostly across Tauranga, the wider Bay of Plenty, New Zealand and Australia. I keep things personal, practical and free of agency jargon, and I will tell you straight what will work for your business and what is a waste of your money.

CHOOSING A PLATFORM
Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify? I’ll help you choose.
Different businesses need different platforms. I’ll recommend the right one based on your business, not what’s easiest for me to build. That honest advice is the difference between a site that scales and one you outgrow in a year.
RECOMMENDED FOR MOST
Wix
My specialty — Partner for 10+ years
Powerful SEO controls, real layout flexibility, and a CMS that scales as your business grows. The platform I reach for first when there isn’t a strong reason to go elsewhere.
BEST FOR
Service providers, small businesses, content-rich sites
Squarespace
Elegant out of the box
Beautiful templates and less fuss. Great when the focus is showing the work, photographers, makers, studios and you want a calm editing experience.
BEST FOR
Visual brands, creatives, portfolio-led businesses
Shopify
The e-commerce gold standard
When you’re selling a real range of products with stock to manage, Shopify is built for the job. Inventory, shipping, payments, all handled properly from day one.
BEST FOR
Serious online stores with larger catalogues
what makes CIP different?
You work with me, from strategy through to launch.
Most agencies hand websites off to a junior developer once the design is signed off. Here, your brand, copy, design, and SEO are considered as one connected system. The only additional people are hand-picked collaborators such as photographers or specialist copy-writers.
I also design and build your branding alongside your website, if you need both. Your visual identity and your customer-facing site grow up together, so the result feels like a coherent extension of your brand at every touch-point.

— SPECIALISING IN WIX
Wix Expert & More
I am a Wix Expert Legend status partner which puts me in a small group of designers in New Zealand who have been recognised by Wix for the quality of their work. This means I know how to make the platform work hard for your business, but still keep it simple for you to manage. I have been a Wix partner for 12+ years and working in it everyday makes me efficient and effective with the latest tools.
I also design on Squarespace, Shopify and Rocketspark, so the recommendation you get is based on what genuinely suits your business, not just the tool I happen to like. If you are selling products, running a service, or building a brand from scratch, I will point you to the platform that will serve you best for years, not just at launch.

Award: Named Best Branding & Web Design Agency, Tauranga 2026
"We absolutely loved what Zoe has put together for us in Shopify and nailed the brief perfectly. Having the work undertaken in another country didnt seem to be a problem with an effective feedback method in place. Nothing was a problem for Zoe and she was willing to jump into any requirement. "
✴ Anthony Kumnick - Grampians Vinegar
"Zoe absolutely nailed it with our new website for Stang Media NZ Ltd. She was great to work with, quick to pick up on our design style and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. What started as a basic site is now something that truly meets the needs of both our team and our clients, new and existing"
✴ Sandra Grammer - Stang Media
"I've worked with Zoe on several projects and she's been awesome to deal with. Her communication is clear and she's responsive. She has delivered excellent results for both my business and another client, including branding, website build and website maintenance/additions. I highly recommend her service."
