My experience with the team at Design Garage was exceptional and I'd highly recommend them for all your business design needs. From the get go the team were able to articulate my ideas and were able to seamlessly develop a brand that I'm extremely proud of. From market research, logo conceptualisation, business cards and website development these girls know their stuff! Design Garage provided sound business advice and came up with a number of ideas that I hadn't considered. We had a tight time frame to get The Flower Cart operational in time for Valentines Day and the team were able work their magic to meet deadlines. The girls treated my business like their business (my success will be their success) and have gone above and beyond to help with google advertising and making modifications to the website at a moments notice. They've taken the time to show me how the website works behind the scenes so that I continue to develop my brand and strategy. Thanks so much Casie, Maddie and Sam!! All an pleasure to work with!

NZ BASED EXPERTS
Definitely not – we take the time to listen and work with you to craft something unique and perfect for your brand.
We can (and would love to!) optimise your website for SEO, but it’s a bit of a long game – it takes time to move up the ranks. We can help you get there.
Start by filling out the enquiry form. We will be in touch with you to talk about your brand. We will send you a proposal to sign. Once this is filled out we will send you a 50% invoice for the deposit. Once you have paid we will get started. You will fill out a questionnaire about your brand or book in a meeting. It’s important we know what you offer and who your clients are. We will then get on to designing your new Shopify website and send it your way for feedback. Together we finalise the design and provide some training. We then launch the website and complete some specific checks for Shopify websites so that your website performs the best it possibly can.
A deposit of 50% is required prior to starting your project. The remaining balance is due at the end. Payment plans are available.
Provided everything runs smoothly and clear communication is maintained, the turnaround time is generally 6-8 weeks.
Yes, we will provide full training so that you can edit all the pages on the website.
All Shopify websites are hosted by Shopify. We will set this up for you and you will pay directly to Shopify.
Design Garage can help write your content and take your photos. We are experts in what content works and how a website should flow. We give you an outline of all the content we need for the website. We offer a professional photo service where we can come on site to take a range of photos that reflect your business and brand.
We create Shopify sites that aren’t just easy to manage, they’re designed to sell. Clean, on-brand, and built for businesses serious about scaling their online sales.
