Palmy is a city of students, soldiers, scientists and the businesses that serve them

Palmerston North has Massey University, Linton Military Camp and Ohakea just up the road, and a cluster of food and farming research around FoodHQ and the Fonterra research centre. That means a lot of people arriving each year who have no local knowledge and search for everything from a dentist to a mechanic.

Business life runs around The Square and Broadway Avenue, out to the Plaza, Terrace End and Hokowhitu, and along the distribution hubs by the airport and the rail yards, since Palmy is where a lot of the lower North Island’s freight passes through. Most local firms are known by name. The website makes sure the name still gets found.

What goes on a Palmerston North business website

The suburbs and the nearby towns

Naming Hokowhitu, Terrace End, Awapuni, Highbury, Milson, Kelvin Grove, Roslyn and Ashhurst, and Feilding or Levin if you go there, helps a local see you cover them and helps Google with searches like “plumber Feilding”.

One tap to call, book or find you

A student with a dead car battery or a new arrival looking for a GP is on their phone. Call, booking and map buttons stay in reach on every screen.

Hours and term-time notes in one place

Massey terms, army postings and the show at Manfeild change who is in town. One spot on the site to change hours and add a note, so the site never argues with your door.

A Google Business Profile that matches

We check your Maps listing has the same hours, categories and service area as the site, so Google sees one consistent business.

Real photos from real Palmy jobs

A bathroom you did in Hokowhitu, your counter on George Street, your clinic room. Your own photos, not stock.

Questions we get asked

Anything else? Email us and you’ll hear back within 24 hours.

How much does a website cost in Palmerston North?

Our prices are the same across New Zealand: NZ$1,490 for a one-page Essentials site, NZ$2,490 for Business (up to 6 pages, copywriting, booking or enquiry set-up) and NZ$3,490 for Growth (up to 12 pages). All one-off. The optional care plan is NZ$49 a month. Business suits most clinics and trades with a few services to explain. For a wider look at prices, see our NZ website cost guide.

Do you have an office in Palmerston North?

No. We serve Palmerston North businesses by email and we do not have an office there. We work the same way for businesses across the lower North Island. You get a link to your homepage design, reply with changes when you have a minute, and approve the wording before anything goes live.

How long does it take?

Your homepage design arrives within 24 hours of your go-ahead, and the finished site goes live within 72 hours if you reply quickly to the two rounds of changes. Timings run on your clock in Palmerston North, by email, so there is no waiting for a meeting slot.

Should the site say Palmerston North or Palmy?

Both, where it reads naturally. People search “Palmerston North” far more than “Palmy”, so the page title and headings use the full name, and the writing can use Palmy where a local would.

I’m in Feilding. Is that covered?

Yes. The page can lead with Feilding and say you cover Palmerston North and the Manawatū, or the other way round, whichever matches where your customers are.

Can you replace my old site without losing my domain?

Yes. We design the new homepage from what is already there, you compare the two, and if you go ahead we move the domain across so the old links still work.
