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
Your business name, what you do and where. If your reviews or job photos are on NoCowboys, Google or Facebook, say where. Takes two minutes.
-
02
We build your site
From your real work, your reviews and your logo. We email you a private link to your finished site, normally within a week.
-
03
You decide
Like it? Tell us what to change and we'll make it right. Not for you? Walk away. You owe nothing.
-
04
We put it live
Once you're happy, pay the $500. We set up your domain, launch the site and look after it from then on.
What you get
- A site that's actually yours. Your photos, your reviews, your words. Built for phones first, because that's where your customers look.
- Your own .co.nz domain, registered in your name and renewed every year while you're with us.
- Enquiries straight to your inbox from a contact form that works.
- Hosting, security and backups. Fast, and nothing for you to update.
- Small changes whenever you need them, within fair use. Email us a new photo, price or job and we'll update it.
- Email forwarding. An address on your own domain, like info@yourbusiness.co.nz, that lands in the inbox you already use.
- Set up for Google. Your site built so Google understands what you do and where, plus help setting up your Google Business Profile.
Not in the standard plan
Online shops, booking systems, customer logins, extra domains and full email mailboxes. If you need one, ask and we'll quote it upfront before any work starts.
One we made earlier
This is an example site for a made-up roofer, built the way we'd build yours: your work up front, your number one tap away, and nothing a customer has to hunt for.
Scroll it like a customer would.

When a customer fills in the quote form, Tom's phone goes. Send a test enquiry and watch it arrive.
Nothing is sent or saved. It all happens on this page.

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. If they ever add up to more than about 2 hours of work in a month, we'll tell you before doing more. 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 a little about your business. 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.
