Tauranga
web designer
We love Tauranga, we have built over a 100 sites for local businesses
Need a local web designer who knows what they’re doing and doesn’t muck you around? That’s us - What the Heck!. We’ve been building websites, online stores, and custom apps since 2015, helping businesses across Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, and Papamoa get results online.


Whether you’re starting fresh or your current site just isn’t cutting it, I design and build with purpose: clean layouts, smart SEO, and real-world thinking behind every project.
Websites that convert (Not Just Look Good)
Plenty of websites look slick but do nothing for your business. I focus on sites that:
- Load fast and look good on mobile
- Are built to convert visitors into customers
- Use SEO best practices from the start
- Are easy for you to manage and update
- Don’t need a developer every time you change a heading
I build on platforms like:
- Shopify – for ecommerce that scales
- Webflow – for marketing sites that are fast and flexible
- Custom AI-powered apps – for businesses ready to automate or innovate
And no, I don’t touch WordPress. It’s clunky, slow, and not what I recommend in 2025.
Local Tauranga Clients
We've worked with many well-known local businesses including:
- Golf 360 – Shopify store for NZ’s premium golf retailer
- Da Vinci Clinic – Plastic surgery clinic in central Tauranga
- Duncan Dental – Full-service dental practice in Fraser St
- Stihl Shop Mt Maunganui – Custom site for a local retail legend
If you're based in Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, Papamoa or anywhere in the wider Bay of Plenty, we're local, responsive, and easy to deal with. We only take on a small number of projects at a time so you’re never just a number.
