Introductory offer: the first 30 Debut websites are built for $695 + GST. After that, the set-up fee is $995 + GST. See pricing

Your business is ready. Is your website?

Every business has a debut. This is yours: your first professional presence online, written and built for you by real people, and live in two to three weeks.

We built Debut for start-ups and new businesses that are not trading yet and do not have $10,000 to spend on a website. So the upfront cost is small: one set-up fee, then a monthly plan you can cancel anytime. No blank page to fill in, no waiting months to be seen, and your site is set up to be found on Google and AI search from day one.

Debut does not currently include ecommerce or online shops.

Is Debut right for your business?

If any of these sounds like you, Debut was built for your situation. It is for new businesses, sole traders, and startups across New Zealand who need a professional online presence quickly, without the cost or wait of a full custom build.

  • You have just started a business and need to look credible online
  • You are operating without a website and know it is holding you back
  • You want a real website built for your business, not a template you have to figure out yourself
  • You have been putting a website off because you do not know what to write
  • You need to get online without having to spend a small fortune
  • Your neighbour's tech-savvy son made you a website (or maybe you tried to make one yourself) and you are embarrassed to send people to it
  • You already paid for a website with another provider and it never shows up in search
  • You know you need to be found on Google and AI searches but have no idea where to start
  • You want someone to handle the domain, hosting, and technical setup for you

Debut does not include ecommerce. If you need an online shop, other website packages are available.

What does Debut include?

Everything handled. Here is what you get.

Your website

You answer a structured set of questions about your business, your clients, and your goals. We turn your answers into polished, professional copy. Every page, every heading, every word.

Three pages minimum

With the option to add more whenever you need them.

Your brand, on every screen

Mobile-responsive design with your brand colours and chosen font style.

Photos sourced for you

Stock photography matched to your business if you do not have your own.

One round of revisions

Before go-live, so the site is right before anyone sees it.

Found on Google and AI search tools too

Being built is not the same as being found. Every Debut site is set up to show up.

SEO setup

So the right people can find you on Google.

Answer engine optimisation

So your business appears in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Most website builders do not include this.

Schema markup built in

For local business visibility across New Zealand.

Google Business Profile guide

Included after go-live so your listing matches your site.

Domain and hosting

The technical side, handled. Nothing for you to set up, renew, or worry about.

Domain included

Registration and connection included, or use your existing domain.

Hosting, SSL, and CDN

Hosting, SSL certificate, and global content delivery network included.

Edit it yourself

A content editor so you can update your site, no developer needed.

Renewal covered

Domain renewal included in your monthly plan from year two onward.

platforms: Google, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude

Parallax Films

They had a website. It just was not doing the work it needed to do.

Parallax Films is a Christchurch-based video production and photography company with clients including TVNZ, Tourism New Zealand, and government organisations across New Zealand. They moved to Debut from another platform.

In the first week after their Debut site went live, they received more than $20,000 in enquiries. Monthly organic search traffic has grown by 60%. The site now appears in Google Search, Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. Search and AI visibility built in from day one through proper schema and structured data.

Parallax moved from an existing site. Most Debut clients are starting fresh. Either way, the same foundations apply.

    You are redirected to our intake form straight after payment. Tell us about your business, your pages, your colours, and upload your content and photos. There is a section for each page so nothing gets missed. Takes only about an hour of your time.

  3. Website build

    Our Christchurch team builds your site. You receive a preview link to review within five working days of us receiving your complete brief.

  4. Go live

    One round of revisions, then your site is live. We connect your domain and send you a short video walkthrough of your content editor.

For the people, by the people

Working with New Zealand businesses every day, we kept hearing the same thing: getting a website that actually performed felt out of reach. Too complicated. Too slow. Too much to manage on top of running a business.

Debut is the answer to that. A service built specifically to make professional websites accessible to New Zealand small businesses, without the complexity. High standard of work, straightforward process, clear pricing.

Every Debut website is designed, written, and launched by our Christchurch team. You are not working with a platform. You are working with people.

Everything you need to know

Debut is a fully managed website service for New Zealand small businesses. We build your website from scratch, host it on fast global infrastructure, connect your domain, and give you an easy content editor so you can update your own content. It is backed by C i Marketing, a Christchurch marketing agency.

Most Debut websites are ready to review within two to three weeks of receiving your completed intake brief.

Your monthly or annual fee covers hosting on enterprise-grade global infrastructure, your content management system, SSL certificate, ongoing technical maintenance, and access to our support team.

Yes. Every Debut site includes a simple content editor built into your website. Log in, update your own text and images, and changes go live within about 60 seconds. No tech knowledge needed. For bigger changes, such as new sections, layout work, SEO updates, or structural improvements, those are handled by our team either as part of your scheduled reviews on the annual plan or as a paid add-on.

Your domain is registered in your business name and you own it outright. If you ever decide to move on, the domain comes with you.

No problem at all. We can connect your existing domain to your Debut site. Just let us know in the intake form and we will handle the rest.

Monthly plans can be cancelled anytime. Annual plans are billed for the full year. Either way, your domain is always yours to keep.

Extra pages are $100 + GST setup each, once only. Once built, there is no ongoing charge per page. They are included in your base plan from that point on.
