Website design & development
Approachable websites that work.
Most business owners know they need a website. What they don’t know is how much work it can be to get it right and keep it right:
- Making the design look as good on a phone screen;
- Optimising it well for search (SEO);
- Integrating with marketing tools;
- Keeping content fresh and compelling;
- Dealing with privacy and security; and
- Making sure it still works when devices and browsers change.
That’s where Getbusi comes in.
We build websites that are easy to maintain, and will show up when people search for what you do. Nearly all website visits come from phones now. Therefore every site we build works just as well on a phone screen as a laptop or desktop. We can also set them up to integrate with the tools you already use. Email marketing, social media, accounting software. So you spend less time wrangling and double-handling data.
But a website isn’t just a technical exercise. It’s how people first encounter your business. We work with you to capture what makes you different. Your voice, your values, your personality — distill it into concise, compelling words and design. The web is still 90% words, so we spend real time getting them right.
Platform Matters
For most businesses, Shopify or Squarespace is the right choice. They’re reliable, low-maintenance, easy to update, and won’t break when you update a plugin. WordPress might be popular, but it’s also a maintenance nightmare unless you’re paying someone to babysit it.
When off-the-shelf platforms don’t fit we can build your company its own tailored digital workspace. A custom web application, with front-of-house and back-of-house tools, built for exactly how the business operates. These are often larger projects but can be totally transformative.
