Modern Websites Built to Grow With Your Business
Your website should do more than look professional. It should clearly explain your business, work properly on every screen, load efficiently, support your search visibility and make it easy for customers to take the next step.
Stealth Media designs and develops modern WordPress websites and WooCommerce stores for New Zealand businesses — built around usability, conversion, flexibility and long-term digital growth.

- What a Modern Website Needs
Good Design Is Only the Start.
A modern business website has several jobs to do at once. It needs to represent the brand, give visitors confidence, work well on mobile, guide people to the right information and turn interest into enquiries, bookings or sales.
That is why we plan the website around the complete customer journey — not just the homepage.
01
Clear
Visitors should quickly understand what you do, who you help and what they should do next.
02
Mobile-Friendly
Important content and actions must work properly across phones, tablets and desktop.
03
Fast + Stable
A well-built site should aim for strong loading, responsiveness and visual stability.
04
Conversion-Focused
Calls, forms, purchases and other important actions should be easy to find and complete.
05
Search-Ready
The structure, content and technical foundation should support SEO + AI Search work from the start.
- Website Design + Development
From Focused Business Websites to Ecommerce Stores.
Every project starts with what the business actually needs. Some companies need a focused service website that generates enquiries. Others need a complete redesign, ecommerce, custom functionality or integrations with the tools already used in the business.
We plan the structure first, then design and develop a WordPress website that can grow with the company rather than forcing the business into a rigid template.
Business Websites
Professional service and company websites designed to explain the business clearly and generate enquiries.
Website Redesigns
Rebuild outdated or limiting websites around the current brand, services, technology and growth goals.
WordPress Development
Flexible WordPress builds with room for future content, integrations and functionality.
Ecommerce Stores
WooCommerce stores for businesses that need to sell products, services or other suitable offerings online.
Custom Functionality
Forms, bookings, memberships, integrations or other agreed functionality where the project requires it.
- Website Redesigns
Has Your Website Fallen Behind Your Business?
A website can still be online and technically functioning while no longer doing a good job for the business.
The brand may have changed. Services may have expanded. The site may be difficult to update, poor on mobile, slow, unclear, visually dated or built on technology that is becoming harder to maintain.
A redesign gives us the opportunity to keep what still has value, remove what no longer works and rebuild the website around where the business is going next.
Signs it may be time for a redesign:
- The brand has changed
- Services have expanded
- Difficult to update
- Poor on mobile
- Slow, unclear or visually dated
- Built on technology that is harder to maintain

- Built on WordPress
Flexible Enough for Today. Extensible Enough for What Comes Next.
Stealth Media builds on WordPress because it provides an open-source, flexible foundation for business websites of many different sizes and types.
A well-planned WordPress website can evolve as the business changes — with new pages, content, forms, analytics, ecommerce, integrations and other functionality added over time without rebuilding the entire digital presence every time something changes.
The platform gives businesses control over their content and provides developers with a large ecosystem of tools and extension options.
- Ecommerce Website Design
Create an Online Store That Is Easy to Shop — and Ready to Grow.
An ecommerce website needs to do more than display products. Customers need to find what they are looking for, understand what they are buying, trust the purchase process and complete checkout with as little unnecessary friction as possible.
For suitable ecommerce projects, Stealth Media builds with WooCommerce — the open-source ecommerce platform for WordPress. This gives businesses flexibility over the storefront, product structure, checkout experience, integrations and future development.
Products + Categories
Clear product organisation, information, imagery and navigation.
Checkout + Payments
A straightforward purchase journey with suitable payment-provider integrations.
Mobile Shopping
Product and checkout experiences designed to work well on smaller screens.
Shipping / Delivery
Suitable shipping, pickup or delivery rules based on the project requirements.
Promotions
Coupons, sales and promotional functionality where appropriate.
Integrations
Connect suitable accounting, CRM, booking, subscription or other business tools where supported.
- Built for Search + Marketing
Your Website Should Support the Rest of Your Digital Growth.
A website is not an isolated brochure. It is where SEO traffic, Google Ads, social media, referrals and direct visitors eventually arrive.
We therefore structure new websites so they can support the marketing work around them. That means clear service pages, crawlable content, logical navigation, strong calls-to-action and room for ongoing optimisation.
GROW — SEO + AI Search
Clear content, logical structure and technical foundations that support ongoing search visibility work.
ACCELERATE — Google Ads
Relevant landing pages and conversion paths that give paid traffic a better destination.
ENGAGE — Social Media
Strong pages and content that social campaigns can link visitors back to.
PROTECT — Website Care
Ongoing hosting, maintenance, backups and support after launch.

Common Questions About Website Design & Ecommerce
What platform do you build websites on?
Stealth Media primarily builds business websites on WordPress and uses WooCommerce for suitable ecommerce projects.
Will my new website work on mobile?
Yes. New websites are planned to work across mobile, tablet and desktop, with important content and actions available across screen sizes.
Will the website be SEO-ready?
We build with a clean structure, crawlable content, logical headings, internal-linking opportunities and overall page experience in mind. Full SEO + AI Search research, content strategy and ongoing optimisation are handled through GROW.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. We first review the current platform, content, technical condition and what the business needs now. In some cases parts can be retained; in others a clean rebuild is the better option.
Can you build an online store?
Yes. For suitable projects we use WooCommerce on WordPress and configure the store around the products, payments, delivery requirements and integrations agreed in the project scope.
Can I update the website myself?
WordPress gives businesses practical content-management options. The level of editing access, training and ongoing support can be agreed as part of the project.
How much does a website cost?
Website pricing depends on the number of pages, design complexity, content, ecommerce requirements, integrations and custom functionality. We provide a scoped proposal once we understand what the project actually needs.
