Got an email from James with a link to your site?
That's us. We built it from your public reviews and job photos. The link is private, it comes down after 30 days, and you owe nothing unless you decide to go ahead. Just reply to the email if you'd like to talk about it, or if you'd rather we didn't contact you again.
How it works
-
01
Tell us about your business
As much or as little as you like. Have a ramble: the work you do, where you do it, how you like to run things.
-
02
We build your site
From what you've told us, plus anything useful we can find online, like your reviews, job photos and logo. You get a private link to it.
-
03
Ask for changes
Have a look and tell us what to change. We keep at it until it's right. Not for you? Walk away, you owe nothing.
-
04
Pay once you're happy
Then it's $500, which covers setting up your domain and hosting, and we put it live. After that it's $50 at the end of each month.
One price. We do the lot.
You don't need to know a thing about websites. Here's all you do:
- Tell us about your business.
- Tell us what to change.
- Say when it's right.
All prices include GST. No deposit, and your monthly price is fixed for the first 12 months.
Everything else is on us, all included
- Your site, built for phones first. Your work, your reviews, your words.
- Your .co.nz domain. Registered in your name, set up and renewed while you're with us.
- Hosting, security and backups. Fast, and nothing for you to update.
- Enquiries to your inbox. From a contact form that works.
- Email on your own domain. info@yourbusiness.co.nz, landing in the inbox you already use.
- Set up for Google. So Google knows what you do and where, plus help with your Google Business Profile.
- Small changes whenever you need them. Email us a new photo, price or job and we'll update it.
- No lock-in. Cancel by email any time and take your site and domain with you.
Rather host it yourself? It's the same $500, we hand over the finished site files, and there's no monthly fee. Later changes are quoted.
Not in the standard plan: online shops, booking systems, customer logins, extra domains and full email mailboxes. Ask and we'll quote it upfront.
One we made earlier
An example site for Wrenfield Roofing, a roofer we made up. It's built the way we'd build yours: the work up front, the number one tap away, and a quote form that takes a minute.
Try it like a customer would. Tap Call Tom, text him a photo or send the quote form, and see what turns up on Tom's phone.
Nothing is sent or saved. It all happens on this page.

Hi Tom, can you look at the flashing round our chimney? It drips into the hallway when it rains.

Start from the logo you've got
A fuzzy photo of the van door or a tiny file from years ago is plenty. We redraw it sharp, take its colours and build your site around them, so it all looks like one business.
- The old logo, 84 by 32 pixels and fuzzy
- Redrawn sharp, so it holds up at any size
- Its colours, tidied up: ironsand, hi-vis orange and cream
- A real house, and the site built over it
Questions
Do I own the website?
Yes. Once it's paid for, the site is yours and the domain is registered in your name. If you ever leave, we hand over the files and the domain's transfer code.
Why does it cost less than an agency?
Because it's all we do. One kind of website, one price, no meetings and no account managers. That keeps our costs down, so yours stay down too.
What do I need to give you?
Nothing to start. We use what's already public about your business: your reviews, job photos and logo. Once you go ahead, you can send better photos and tell us what to change.
I already have a website. Can you help?
Yes. Tell us the address. If it isn't bringing you work, we'll build you a better one and you can compare them side by side.
What counts as a small change?
Updating text, prices, opening hours, photos or a new job for your gallery. Ask whenever you need, there's no set number. Bigger things, like a whole new page or a new feature, get a fixed quote before we start.
Do you pay for referrals?
Yes. If you tell a business you know about us and they go ahead and pay for their site, we pay you $50 by bank transfer. You don't need to be a client. Just tell them you may get $50, and ask them to mention your name. The details are in our terms.
Who is behind Brine?
Brine is run by James, who builds websites because he enjoys it. It started with a frustration: more than once he went to hire a tradie with great reviews and found their website broken, gone, or impossible to use on a phone. Good people were missing out on work because of something that should be easy to fix.
An agency charges thousands for that. Brine doesn't. We build the whole site for you from your real jobs and reviews, set it up, and look after it, so you can get on with the work you're good at.
Get your site built
Tell us about your business, as much or as little as you like. We'll reply by email within one working day, and send your site's private link when it's ready.
No calls, no spam. We only use your details to build your site and reply to you. Ask us any time to see or fix them.
