Web Design: Built to Look Great and Get Found
A beautiful website is a great start, but it’s even better when people can actually find it. That’s why design and SEO happen together here, right from day one.
Your website should work as hard as you do. At Banter Web Design, every website is designed and optimised for search from the very first decision, not patched with SEO after the fact. Based in Tauranga and working across Bay of Plenty and nationwide, you’ll work directly with founder Gabrielle Williams throughout your project and beyond, not a rotating team of account managers.
New Website Builds
Whether you’re a tradesperson keen to bring in a few more enquiries alongside your word of mouth work, or a professional services business ready for a site that truly reflects what you do, a new website from Banter is designed around how your customers actually search for and find businesses like yours. You’ll get a site that’s genuinely yours, not a generic template stretched to fit.
What's included:
- Discovery call & a clear written proposal before any work begins.
- WordPress website designed to your specifications.
- Mobile-friendly and fast-loading as standard.
- Copy written or refined to speak directly to your customers.
- SEO foundations built in from the first page, not added afterwards.
- A first draft ready to preview within 3 to 6 weeks.
Step 1: Discovery call
A relaxed chat so I can get to know you and your business, and understand exactly what you need from your website.
Step 2: Proposal
I'll send through a clear proposal outlining what's involved and the plan for your project, so you know exactly what to expect before anything begins.
Step 3: The build.
Once you're happy to go ahead, I get to work. Within 3 to 6 weeks, you'll receive your first draft to preview and go through your own revisions.
Step 4: Launch & ongoing support
Your site goes live, and if you choose ongoing support, we keep working together long after launch.

Let's Talk About What Your Website Should Be Doing for You
Website Redesigns & Rebuilds
If your website was put together by a mate, a cheap DIY builder, or an agency you haven’t heard from in a while, you’re definitely not alone, it’s a really common starting point. A rebuild with Banter freshens up the look and strengthens the foundations underneath it, so your site can finally start working as hard as you do.
What's included:
- A review of your current site, what's working and what isn't.
- A fresh design that reflects the quality of your work.
- Rebuilt SEO foundations, not just a visual refresh.
- Content and page structure reworked to actually convert enquiries.
- A smooth switch-over, so you're not offline or losing enquiries mid-rebuild.
SEO Built In From Day One
Every Banter website is built with SEO foundations from the very first page, so nothing needs bolting on later. That means clean structure, fast loading, and content written to actually rank, alongside a design that looks the part too.
What's included:
- Keyword research to guide page structure and content from the start.
- On-page SEO basics done properly (titles, headings, meta descriptions).
- A technically sound site that loads fast and works well on mobile.
- Local SEO signals built in for local searches.
- A solid foundation to build ongoing SEO work on after launch, if you choose to.
Support After Launch
You work with me personally, from the first conversation through to years down the track. Some Banter clients have stayed for over 6 years, because the relationship works as well as the results.
What's included:
- Direct access to me, not a support ticket queue.
- Help with small updates and questions after launch.
- The option to add an ongoing SEO retainer once your site is live.
- Advice as your business grows and your website needs evolve.
