Experience that keeps
things straightforward.
Lone Wolf Studio is an independent website development studio in Whanganui, New Zealand, helping businesses build faster, more accessible websites without the agency overhead. After more than fifteen years working in web development and agencies, I've learned that great websites come from getting the fundamentals right.
Working independently keeps things simple. You deal directly with the person designing, building, and supporting your website, so nothing gets lost in translation. From straightforward business websites to more complex builds, the goal remains the same: creating reliable, scalable websites that are built to perform and grow with your business.
Everything your website needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Focused on the work that makes the biggest difference: building, improving, maintaining, and fixing websites that help businesses grow.
Website builds
A fast, clean website designed around what your business actually needs. Not what a template decided it needs.
AI websites
Got an AI-built website that is almost there but not quite working? I can help you get it across the line.
Rebuilds and rescues
Inherited a mess? I have untangled hundreds of them. Bring me the site nobody else wants to touch.
Care plans
Updates, backups, security, small fixes. The boring stuff, handled quietly, so you never have to think about it.
Speed and SEO
Your site should load before your customer loses interest. I make that happen, and I measure it so you can see.
One developer. Fewer handoffs. Better outcomes.
Fifteen years in the website development industry teaches you where projects go wrong. It is almost never the code. It is the layers between you and the person writing it.
You talk to the developer
Every email, every call, every decision: me. No account manager translating your words into a ticket and hoping for the best.
Quotes that hold
One person has famously low overheads. You pay for the work, not the office plants. When I quote a number, that is the number.
Fifteen years of pattern recognition
Whatever is wrong with your site, I have seen it before. Probably twice. The second time is usually funnier.
Built so you own it
Documented, tidy, and yours. You can update it yourself, and you are never held hostage by your own website.
How it works
Talk
Thirty minutes, free, no slideshow. You tell me what the site needs to do. I tell you if I am the right person for it.
Plan
A fixed quote and a real timeline. Scope in writing, so neither of us gets surprised later.
Build
You see progress on a staging link. No six week silence followed by a big reveal you did not ask for.
Launch, then stay
I do not vanish after go live. Care plans keep the site fast, patched, and boring in the best way.
Is your website ready for AI search?
Search is changing. AI is increasingly answering questions directly, making it important that your website is easy for AI to read and understand.
Discover your AI search score
Free score in under a minute. No signup needed. No spam, ever.
For Big Teams
Whitelabel, quietly.
Your brand, your clients. I work under your banner and deliver to your deadlines. Big teams keep me on speed dial because I step in, get it done, and keep things moving.
NDA friendly
Happy to sign yours before we even talk scope.
Your tools, your workflow
Slack, Asana, Trello, carrier pigeon. I slot in.
Overflow or ongoing
One rescue job or a standing retainer. Both work.
No handoffs
You brief one developer. That is who does the work.
Ready when you are.
Tell me about the website your business needs, or the one you are stuck with. I'll get you moving in the right direction.
