Loved by Kiwi Businesses

We love providing our customers with such a powerful website builder, modern and professional website templates, local support and our specialty, amazing eCommerce websites! Check out what our customers have to say about Website World:

Easy to transfer from another website platform, quick comms from support for help, lots of features included in the price where others charge for every add on such as bulk emailing. I was weighing up a switch to Shopify over Website World, but when I worked out the monthly fees and the transaction fees that Shopify charges, the switch to Website World was a no brainer!!

Rachael

I've been dealing with Website World since they first started and have found them to be awesome to deal with, professional and the quality of their service is outstanding. It helps being good value for money as well and I like that they are NZ based. Highly recommend.

Collette Fergus

Website World is fantastic, provides so many options for your B2B or B2C business. Their customer support is amazing, so patient and friendly for those of us without a technical background. This has far exceeded my expectations, would definitely recommend. Totally brilliant service.

SL Lighting

I'm solidly reassured with local, effective website tools that are ever improving. The sense of community I have with other users makes it unimaginable to consider any other service provider. Thank you Website World team - you have been the consistent theme through thick and thin. You make the difference.

Ocre Art

Professional, responsive and a great team to deal with. No issues relocating our site from overseas into the hands of this NZ Team. Great having local support during NZ hours. Lots of new developments, integration with NZ API's etc, lots of extend NZ developer options and support for this wanting to extend past the range of templates. Highly recommend you give a good look into!

Tony Robinson

Website World have been great since I first started building my website. It doesn't take long to work out how to use it if you are not HTML savvy. Customer service respond in good time. I recommend joining Website World if you want to build your own site, NZ operated is a real plus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a website builder?

A website builder is a user-friendly tool used to create a website without needing to know or use coding. The website builder platform contains all of the necessary parts needed to build, design and launch a website. Designed, built and supported in New Zealand, Website World is one of NZ's best website builders, giving businesses all the tools and features they need to build exceptional websites.

A website builder works through your internet browser; there is no need to download any software. You simply choose a website template which looks and feels something like the end result you are after. Then using the drag and drop editor, select the colours, fonts and features you want, add your content and go live.

The benefits of choosing a website builder to create your new website, are that it is quick to set up, doesn't need any coding knowledge or graphic design skills, offers plenty of easy to use customisation features, and requires no system maintenance or updates by you. Unlike other website platforms such as WordPress, you do not need to update security, plugins or design features, as we take care of all of that for you.

Do I need any technical experience to build my website?

No! That's the great thing about using our website builder; you do not need any technical experience or knowledge to create a website. Our free website builder contains professionally designed templates, both a Drag and Drop editor and a Contentbox editor, and many customisable features to build a website which meets your business' needs.

How is this different from Shopify or Wix?

Website World, Shopify and Wix all have their own website builder. The key differences are that Website World is NZ owned and operated, does not charge for any payment option transaction fees, has trade ordering and pricing and rural address delivery detection and address verification. Since 2000, we have hosted thousands of websites for businesses throughout NZ and the world. We are a leading eCommerce provider and provide fast and secure NZ based web hosting and domain services.

Can I get help to design my website?

Yes, you can use the services of a professional web designer experienced in using our platform to help design your website. We have a list of web designers we can refer you to, as well as our experienced support team who are available to answer any design questions you may have.

I've never built a website before, does this matter?

Absolutely not, you do not need to have any knowledge of or experience in building websites to create your own using our website builder. Our website builder is easy to use, has in-depth help articles and videos, plus a helpful and experienced NZ support team!

What is a domain name and why do I need one?

A domain name is the address of your website on the internet. Your website's name, it will always stay the same, unless you change it or don't renew it. A domain name can be any unique combination of letters or numbers, but is usually only letters. You will need to 'buy' or register your domain name and renew it each each in order to retain ownership. You can register your domain name here.

What is website hosting?

Website hosting is a paid online service that publishes your website live 24/7 on the internet for anyone to see. As well as a domain name, you will need to pay for website hosting to make your website live. The web host or web hosting service provider, of which we at Website World are one, provide the technologies and services to get and keep your website live on the internet. Your web hosting fee covers the 'leasing' of space on our servers where all the files and data from your website is stored. Our servers help to keep your information secure, as well as making sure your website can be seen by visitors whenever they want and wherever they are in the world.

Do I need a credit card to use the free trial option?

No, there is no credit card required to use our website free trial option. All that is needed are your contact details, and you will have full access to our powerful website builder and content management system. Your free trial is for 30 days and can be extended upon request.

What if I need more than 30 days of my free trial?
