Great work! We hired Revibe to finish up a Joomla project begun by another firm that was not going well. With a minimum of direction, they jumped in right away and took care of all outstanding tasks, exactly as we asked for. It was quite a thrill to watch a firm move so quickly and understand what was needed with only two emails of explanation. In addition, pricing was very fair. Our only regret is that we didn't start with Revibe to begin with. Highly recommended!

Working with Brett @ Embed has been fantastic! He is always super helpful, quick to respond to queries and get things fixed. No query has been met with no, a solution to what we wanted to do has always been found. They work well with our other suppliers, and are always helpful.

I am very impressed with Brett Ransley of Embed Limited. His knowledge is excellent and he is happy to impart his knowledge. He is friendly, very helpful and very professional. I made a commercial decision to leave a long association with our previous I.T. service provider and move over to Embed Limited. I am also impressed with the energy Brett brings and the value that he adds to our business. I am very happy and I have no hesitation at all to recommend Embed Limited.

Dolphinz Swim School had an existing Joomla based website that needed a refresh and various security updates. Brett is one of the few Joomla website builders that we could find. He was able to get our website up to date without having to do a full rebuild and all the time and money associated with that. He provided a cost effective solution for our business and understood our needs well. We would recommend Bretts skills and service to any business that needs website support.

Depending on the age of your website, we may require you to make some updates in order to make it more secure for our servers.

We can change anything you want on a website using a variety of methods and tools. Given we have the access needed to your website either via FTP, cPanel, or SSH, and you are operating an Opensource content management system such as WordPress, Magento, Joomla or Drupal then we should have no issues making changes you need. The time to make changes may vary depending on the complexity of your website, how the other developers have built the site and the extent of the change. If you have a website using software like Shopify, Wix or another alternative, we are limited by what is possible to change.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question. It all depends on the type of website you’re building, the features you want it to have, your budget, and your skillset and experience. Generally speaking, though, it takes anywhere from a few days to a few months to build a website. The more complex your website is and the more features you want it to have, the longer it’s likely to take. On the other hand, if you follow a well-planned and efficient development process, building a website can be both enjoyable and rewarding. If you have a tight deadline, we can shuffle projects to make it work for you.

There isn't a set amount that a website costs in New Zealand. The price can vary depending on the complexity of the website and the features that are included. On average, a basic website can cost anywhere from $1500 to $8000. More complex websites can cost upwards of $15,000, or large-scale eCommerce may even break $100,000 The price also depends on who is building your website, the timeline, the budget and the requirements. If you bring any quote to us from a competitor, we will beat it by 15%. You can save time and money by having pre-built templates, using priority software or doing it yourself, there are downsides to each method, so talk to us to decide the easiest path forward for your business.
