We build
We design and build your site, showing you how it's taking shape as we go. You see it early, you give feedback, and nothing appears that you haven't looked at.
You launch
Your site goes live, and we don't disappear. The all-inclusive plan covers hosting, updates, security and every content change — you never have to bother with any of it.

Why Canterbury

- One person, from first message to every future change
- Clear, itemised pricing agreed before we start
- Built to the same standards as large-agency work
- All-inclusive care long after you launch

“A few years ago I transferred the running and servicing of my website to Zach. I chose a local web designer wanting to support a small business. I am extremely pleased that all my expectations have been met and more. He recently finished building my new website — it looks great and is easy to navigate. I'm very, very happy.”

“Zach is brilliant. He made me an amazing website, and did it so quickly too. His communication was excellent and he replied quickly, even sometimes into the evening. I'm not very technically minded and he helped me set things up my end. I'm so happy with the outcome.”
