A small studio
in Christchurch
Retrofit builds websites, brands and the systems behind them for Canterbury businesses: tradies, cafes, clinics.
A handful of jobs at a time, so the person who scoped your project is the person who builds it. When you ring, you get the person doing the work, not an account manager.

design, build & systems
Proud to be building things that fit brands. The design, the code, and whatever system ends up sitting behind it, all of it is mine.
That is how the studio works. None of the core build gets handed down a chain, nothing gets built by somebody who wasn’t in the room when it was scoped, and there is nobody for me to blame if it goes sideways.
I work out of Christchurch and I answer my own phone.

Live, then looked after
ongoing
good fit if
- you want a site that fits your brand and earns its keep
- you want it looked after, not handed over
- the same person, start to finish, suits you
not us if
- you want a template with your logo in it
- you want it built by committee
- you want it built once and never touched again
