Why do I need a website designer?
Can't I just download a free template from the internet?
I know of many people who have spent hours upon hours trying to build a free website for themselves off a template they downloaded for free from the internet. The thing is, those free templates are not as easy as they say they are. One man spent 50 hours trying to build himself a website off a free template. His charge out rate for his own business is $40 an hour, so in wasting 50 hours that's an opportunity cost of $2000 he wasted trying to build a "free" website, that Code Monkey could have built for around $400.
Having said that, it's human nature, and especially Kiwi nature, to want to at least give it a go first. Check out these sites for free website templates and see how you get on:

I downloaded a free template and it won't work. Can you help?
Sorry, but the coding in those free templates is a nightmare, and once it has been messed up, it is almost impossible to sort out. It will be much quicker, and cheaper, to have Code Monkey start from scratch and build your website from the ground up.
You built me a website and I haven't gotten lots of new clients. Why not?
If you get a new website and do not promote it, it is similar to having 5000 glossy brochures printed, and putting them in the cupboard. See the Marketing your website page for more information on how to promote your site.
You built me a website and it's not showing up in Google. Why not?
Google officially has a nine-month stand-down period before listing new websites. That said, a new website will often show up earlier on Google.
How can I make my business be the first hit on Google?
Pay lots of money. See the Search Engine Optimisation section on the Website design page for more information.
I don't live in Tauranga / New Zealand. Can you still build a website for me?
Code Monkey has clients all over New Zealand. As long as you have have access to a computer and the internet, Code Monkey can build you a website, whether your live in Tauranga, Auckland, or overseas.
