Waikato · New Zealand

Waikato web design for Hamilton and the towns that feed it.

Hamilton is the city. The region is dairy towns, the Coromandel coast, King Country, and Taupō. Each of those is its own search.

Waikato is more than one query

A Cambridge equine business, a Tokoroa supplier, a Raglan cafe, and a Taupō lodge do not share a customer. They share a region, so they share a hub, and they each get a page.

Own Forge builds from Wellington and works across the Waikato on a call. You own the finished site.

Do you treat the Coromandel as Auckland?
