Built for a clear outcome
A small business website should make your value clear, earn trust, and turn the right visitor into an enquiry.
Shan Studio combines website design, content structure, development, and search fundamentals in one focused build. That means fewer handoffs, a quicker launch, and a site that remains easy to own after it goes live.
Services

Common questions
Before you get in touch.
Do you build websites for Invercargill and Southland businesses?
Yes — that is the home patch. Shan Studio is based in Invercargill, so Southland projects start in person, usually over a coffee. Launch sites are quoted fixed and work the same way whether you are in Invercargill or Auckland.
Do you use WordPress, Squarespace, or page builders?
No. I build custom, lightweight sites for better performance, security, and design control. If a builder genuinely suits your situation better, I will say so rather than take the project.
How much does a website cost?
A typical launch site or small business site starts at NZD 2,500, quoted fixed after a scope call.
How long does a typical build take?
Most website projects are completed within two to three weeks from the scope call, with the shape of the site agreed before the build starts.
