Custom Website & App Development for Growing Businesses

Our packages provide starting prices, but every project is scoped around what you actually need. Final pricing depends on the functionality, integrations and complexity of the project. All prices are in NZD and exclude GST.

Absolutely. You don’t need to come to us with a technical specification. We start with an approximately 40-minute discovery meeting to understand your business, how you work, what you want to achieve and what your customers need. From there, we can recommend the right approach and define what should actually be built.

Yes. MKN Automate is New Zealand based and works worldwide. Website, application and digital solution projects can be delivered remotely.

If you haven’t purchased a domain or arranged hosting yet, we can help you choose a suitable provider and hosting option for your region. Business email is often available as part of, or alongside, your hosting service. If you choose ongoing support with us, we can also help you set up your business email. Otherwise, we’ll set up only what is required for the website where necessary.

Yes. SEO optimisation is available as an additional service. We can optimise your website for search and provide a report showing the SEO work completed. We’re not a full-service marketing agency, so if you need broader ongoing SEO or digital marketing services, we can recommend one of our trusted partners.

Not necessarily. We integrate AI where it adds real value. We assess whether AI is genuinely worthwhile for the requirement — and where a simpler automation may be the better solution.

Yes. We can — and we do this often. For example, we can add booking functionality, instant quotes and other business features to an existing website, so you don’t necessarily need to build a new website from scratch.

Yes. We practise full project handover. Once the project is complete, you can receive the website together with the relevant keys, credentials and administrative access, transferred to accounts associated with your own email wherever applicable. You’re not required to stay with MKN Automate to keep control of your website.

We offer ongoing support, but you’re never locked in. You can continue with MKN Automate or choose another provider to support your website. And if you decide to manage it elsewhere and need our help again later, we’ll always be happy to assist.

For larger projects, we usually recommend building in stages. We start with what matters most, get it working, and then add the next features step by step. It keeps the project easier to manage and gives you more flexibility as your needs evolve.

We’ll need you to provide the content required for your website, such as business information, text, photos and any other relevant information. If you’d like us to help generate content using AI, you’ll need to give us the information and direction needed to create it accurately. During the project, we’ll also ask you to review the work, provide feedback and approve key stages. If you’re not taking ongoing support with MKN Automate, we may also need you to set up or provide access to the accounts and services required for the website. Your specific responsibilities, approvals and anything we need from you will be clearly set out in the project agreement before we start.
