From What You've Got to a Website That's Sorted.
ArrowSite removes most of the work normally involved in getting a website built. If you already have useful business content online, we may be able to build your website free. Starting from scratch? We can build that too. Either way, we handle the technical work and keep the process simple.
How does ArrowSite work?
ArrowSite is a done-for-you website service for New Zealand small businesses. If you already have enough useful business information and imagery online, ArrowSite can use that material to design and build your website for free. If you're starting from scratch, new websites start from $995. You review the website, receive one included revision round, connect your domain and ArrowSite manages the technical website environment for $40/month Website Hosting.
First, which situation are you in?
The process depends on whether you already have usable content online or you're starting from scratch.
I Already Have Content Online
Use this pathway if your business already has useful information and imagery available through an existing website, Facebook, Instagram or another suitable online source.
$0 design & build if eligible
Check My EligibilityI'm Starting From Scratch
Use this pathway if your business doesn't have enough existing online content for ArrowSite to work from. We'll build your website from the information you provide.

How the Free Website process works
$0 design & build if eligible + $40/month Website Hosting
Send us what you've already got
Share your existing website, Facebook page, Instagram profile or another approved online source. You don't need to write a traditional website brief — just give us somewhere your business already exists online.
We check whether there's enough to work with
We review your source material to confirm there's enough useful information and imagery — what the business does, services, contact details, branding and imagery — to build a credible brochure website. Not every submission automatically qualifies. If there isn't enough, you can use the New Website pathway instead.
We build the website
If eligible, ArrowSite turns your existing material into a professionally structured ArrowSite. We combine your existing business information with proven website structures, AI-assisted production and human quality control. ArrowSite does the build — you don't receive website-builder software to figure out yourself.
You see the website
We send you a preview link so you can review your new website on your phone, tablet and desktop. You can see your new website before you spend a cent. There's no obligation to launch it.
Tell us what needs changing
One complete initial revision round is included. Submit your reasonable pre-launch amendments together as one consolidated revision round. This is not unlimited revisions or continuous free editing — it's one included round before launch.
Decide whether you want to launch
If you're happy with your ArrowSite and want to make it live, activate Website Hosting at $40/month with a 12-month minimum. If you don't want to proceed with the preview, there's no obligation to activate it.
Connect your domain
Your domain remains yours — ArrowSite does not take ownership of it. You remain responsible for domain registration and renewal. We provide the connection instructions needed to point your domain to your new website, and optional Domain Connection Assistance is available if you'd like help.
Your ArrowSite goes live
Once the website is approved, Website Hosting is active and the domain is correctly connected, your ArrowSite is published on your domain. Days, not months.
Starting from scratch?
Here's how it works
From $995 + $40/month Website Hosting
Tell us about your business
Start by providing core business information — your business name, what you do, your services and your contact details. Share any branding, logo and imagery you have.
Complete the information ArrowSite needs
A from-scratch website needs more input from you because there's no existing online presence to work from. Our guided process collects what we need — business description, main services, target customers, key differentiators, contact details and imagery — without turning it into a traditional long discovery process.
ArrowSite creates the website
We take your supplied material and create the website using proven website structures, professional design principles, AI-assisted production and human checking. AI isn't the customer proposition — it's the production tool that makes ArrowSite faster.
Review the website
We send you a preview link to review the completed ArrowSite before launch. One initial revision round is included. This review before launch is separate from paid post-launch changes.
Finalise the website
ArrowSite implements your included revision. Once approved, the website can progress toward launch. There are no additional design approval stages or meetings required.
Connect your domain
The same domain rules apply: you own your domain, you remain responsible for registration and renewal, and ArrowSite provides the connection instructions. We don't provide general registrar or email support.
Go live
Once ready, approved and connected, your ArrowSite launches on your domain. The build starts from $995, and Website Hosting is $40/month with a 12-month minimum.
How much work do I have to do?
ArrowSite is designed to require much less customer involvement than a traditional website project.
If you already have usable business information online, you generally provide the source, review the website and submit your included revision. If you're starting from scratch, you'll need to provide more information about your business before ArrowSite can build the site.
You generally do not need to:
What to expect along the way
What do I need to give ArrowSite?
If you're applying for a Free Website, start by providing your existing website, Facebook page, Instagram profile or another suitable online source. If you're starting from scratch, you'll need to provide information about your business, services, branding, imagery and contact details through the New Website process.
How long does it take to get an ArrowSite?
ArrowSite is designed to get straightforward small-business websites live in days rather than months. The actual timing depends on the website requirements, how quickly you review the site and how smoothly the domain connection is completed.
How many revisions do I get?
One complete revision round is included before launch. Customers should consolidate their reasonable changes into that round. After the website is live, customer-requested Basic Website Updates normally cost $20 per logical change.
Do I need a discovery meeting?
Usually not. ArrowSite is designed as a streamlined website service, so most of the information we need is collected online rather than through a traditional series of discovery meetings. If something important needs clarification, the ArrowSite team can contact you.
Do I need to transfer my domain to ArrowSite?
No. Your domain remains yours and does not need to become ArrowSite's property. Once your website is ready to launch, ArrowSite provides the website connection details required to point the domain to your new website.
What happens after three years?
Customers who remain continuously with ArrowSite become eligible for another website refresh after three years at no additional website build cost, subject to the ArrowSite website scope. Never have an outdated website again.
Once your website is live, we keep the technical side sorted.
ArrowSite handles the website's technical environment through Website Hosting. You don't manage hosting, SSL, platform maintenance, plugins or website software.
Website Hosting — $40/month
Includes hosting, SSL, ArrowSite platform maintenance and technical support. If something we've built stops working, we fix it at no charge.
Need a content change? $20 Basic Website Update
Phone number, opening hours, a photo, some text, a link — customer-requested content changes are $20 each.
Technical faults? Fixed free
If something ArrowSite has built isn't working correctly, that's a technical issue — we fix it at no charge.
Free three-year refresh
Stay with ArrowSite and after three years we'll give your website another design refresh for free.
What if I don't qualify for a Free Website?
Not qualifying for the Free Website doesn't mean ArrowSite can't build your website. If there isn't enough existing online information for us to work from, you can use the New Website service instead, with builds starting from $995 plus $40/month Website Hosting.
Build My Website From ScratchWhat if my website needs more functionality?
ArrowSite specialises in straightforward brochure websites. It's not built for ecommerce, customer portals, membership systems, complex integrations, custom applications or large publishing sites. ArrowSite can point the business toward a more suitable custom website solution.
