Step 1
Discovery
Here's where we ask a heap of questions, we want to know it all.
Knowledge is power and the more we know the better you can compete.
+
We’re a New Zealand company, which means many of our clients have small budgets by world standards.
And that means we have to think.
Let's talk >
Web Design And Development
Strategy trumps
Strategy trumps beauty. Heck, it trumps everything!
We put strategy first, everything else comes second.
If a website doesn’t deliver business results, it’s a bad website. No matter how good it looks.
Our clients come from all sectors. Our portfolio includes websites for lead generation, ecommerce, awareness, positioning and promotion.
We're developers too – we love the stuff others hate, like integrating ERP / POS / custom / raspberry pi data into your site. Like creating custom web apps.
We put greatness within reach
System 7 was established in 2008 to put world class web solutions in the hands of any company – even those without world-class budgets.
Our team is a good mix of business savvy people and really smart techies. Between us, we find ways to put world class web solutions within reach of New Zealand businesses.

Our Process
We are suckers for process. It can drive clients a little nutty during planning and development. But it allows us to deliver on what we promise, which is often more than our clients thought their budget would allow. It means the little things work, as well as the big things.
Here’s what our process typically looks like.
Step 2
The Brainstorm
Finding your taste, understanding your likes and dislikes and combining them with what will work in your market to gain the knowledge to move forward.
+Step 3
Site-mapping
Think of a site map as a guide for your customers to make the decision you want them to. Strong pathways increase your conversions.
+Step 4
Planning
This is where it all comes together. Once we know what pages are needed, their purpose, what content is required and the design, we can get cracking!
+Step 5
The Build
Now, we get down to business and you can relax. We begin the first round of design, development and content loading. Not to mention a lot of testing.
+Step 6
Client Review
Now we relax, well... we wait eagerly! You get to see what we've done, tell us what you think and we will take the notes.
+Step 7
Refinement
After the note-taking we head back to our ranch and get started on the refining stage.
Dotting the i's and crossing the t's until everything is all approved.
+Step 8
Go Live!!!
The moment we've all been waiting for. We stand up for the National Anthem, release the coders from a dimly lit basement and celebrate by pushing the Go Live button.
