Hi, I'm Wayne

I'm based in beautiful Wanaka and enjoy helping businesses create websites that look professional and work hard behind the scenes.

I work directly with every client from start to finish, taking the time to understand your business and explain everything in plain English—without the technical jargon.

Whether you're launching a new business or updating an existing website, my goal is simple: create a website you'll be proud of and one that helps your business grow.

Why Choose Wanaka Web Works

Choosing someone to build your website is about more than just design—it's about working with someone you can trust.

At Wanaka Web Works, I work with you personally from our very first conversation through to the launch of your website. There are no salespeople, no overseas call centres, and no confusing technical jargon—just honest advice and friendly support every step of the way.

Every website I build is designed to be fast, mobile-friendly, easy to manage, and built with search engine optimisation (SEO) in mind. Whether you need a brand-new website or want to refresh an existing one, I'll create a site that reflects your business and helps you connect with more customers.

When your website is live, I'm still here if you need me. From updates and maintenance to advice and ongoing support, my goal is to build lasting relationships, not just websites.

Whether you're starting a new business, refreshing an existing website, or looking to improve your online presence, I'm here to help.

Proudly Local

"Let's Build Something Great Together"

 

Wanaka Web Works began with a simple idea—to help businesses and community organisations create professional websites without the high price tag or complicated process.

Over the years, I've built more than 30 websites for small businesses, tourism operators, tradespeople, community groups and charities throughout New Zealand. Every project has taught me something new, but one thing has always remained the same: I genuinely enjoy helping people succeed online.

I believe creating a website should be a collaborative experience. That's why I work directly with every client, taking the time to understand their business, answer questions in plain English, and build a website that reflects who they are and what they do.

One project that is especially meaningful to me was creating the Alzheimer's Otago website. It was a privilege to support such an important organisation by providing a modern, accessible website that helps connect people with valuable information and services. Projects like this remind me that a website can do much more than promote a business—it can make a real difference to a community.

Whether I'm building a brand-new website, redesigning an existing one, or helping improve a site's visibility on Google, my goal is always the same: to create a website that looks professional, performs well, and helps my clients achieve lasting success.
