Known there. Based here.
Westport for the day-to-day. Eastern Southland, West Otago for the old relationships. Conversation in New Zealand hours, not a random platform ticket queue somewhere else on the planet.

Websites that work.
I build custom websites for small business and for people who need something that actually fits. I work from Westport and I am putting a proper stake back into Eastern Southland and West Otago, where a lot of people already know the name. Design, new builds, rescue, repair and rebuilds — nearly thirty years of experience.
Why this shop
One person. Clear work. Clean result.
If you need a simple website, a rebuild of something that has gone stale, or a custom site that off-the-shelf tools cannot handle, that is the work I do. Websites built in New Zealand, by a New Zealander, for other New Zealanders.

About
Ken France. Not a factory.
I build custom websites for small business and for clients who need a particular solution, not a theme with the logo swapped. That has been the job for nearly thirty years.
Over 400 websites have gone out to clients across New Zealand. Most were new. Some were rescues. Some were quiet rebuilds after a host, a plugin or a well-meaning nephew had made a mess.
I live and work in Westport. I am rebuilding a presence in Eastern Southland and West Otago — Gore, Tapanui and the towns around it — because that is where a lot of people already know me and what I do. You get a person on the phone, not a ticket queue. If the website should be simple, it will be simple, and it will stay simple.
Built to last a stretch
No page-builder sludge if we have a say. Pages that a human can still edit in five or even ten years are the point.
Services
Four jobs. Done properly.
Website design
Layout, type, colour and structure that suit the business — not a template with your name dropped in the header.
New websites
From a blank brief to a live site. Pages that load fast, read clearly on a phone, and do not need a handbook.
Website rescue and repair
Broken forms, hijacked WordPress, vanished email, a host or designer that wandered off. I diagnose it, fix it, and leave it stable.
Rebuilds
Keep the good parts of an old site, throw out the dated, and put the site where it can still be maintained.
Contact
Call or email. A person answers.
No form to fill out. If you want a new site, a rebuild, or something pulled out of a ditch, ring or write.
