Lychee

A small New Zealand studio crafting website experiences for businesses whose reputation deserves a better first impression.

(What we build)

What we'll
build for you

We're one small studio, so the same hands take your site from first sketch to launch, and we won't send anything out until you're proud of it.

E-commerce

Your store is your hardest-working salesperson. We build it to load in a blink and make buying effortless, on Shopify or Webflow, a platform that meets you where you are.

001

Brand Sites

Your brand site speaks for you before you're in the room. We build it to land fast, and hold its own against anyone in your field.

002

Immersives

Some ideas need more than a flat page. We build immersive 3D and motion that still loads in under a second, the kind of work most studios quietly avoid.

003

The best work is beautiful and fast. So that's all we build. You shouldn't have to choose, and we never make you.

won't compromise.

Craft

over corners

Every pixel and every millisecond is considered. We won't send out anything we can't stand behind.

Honest

, always

We tell you what it'll really cost and how long it'll take. No jargon, and none of the dark patterns built to trick people into clicking.

Yours

, and looked after

What we make is yours to keep, and we don't disappear once it's live. We're here to keep it running for as long as you want us around.

(Our process)

Four phases,
one journey.

From the first conversation to long after launch, here's how we'll work together.

001

Groundwork

We get to know your business and what the site really needs to do for the people who'll use it. The brand you've built is where we start, not an afterthought.

002

Structure

We map how the site is built and set the bar for how premium and trustworthy it needs to feel, before we design a thing. Decisions are cheap now and expensive later.

003

Craft

Design and build move together, not in sequence. Motion and 3D appear where they earn their place, never at the cost of load time.

004

Aftercare

We launch the site and get your team comfortable running it, then stay on to keep it fast and current.

(For Agencies)

We build
what you design

The Hard Stuff

The work that usually gets cut for time: WebGL scenes, shaders, scroll-bound timelines. Held at 60fps on mid-range hardware.

Tech Stack

React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Three.js, GSAP, Framer Motion, Tailwind, Webflow. We slot into your codebase, not the other way around.

Audit

Green Core Web Vitals on mobile, WCAG 2.2 AA, and SEO wired in from the first commit. Speed is the point, not a later pass.

True to the Comp

Your design rebuilt to the pixel. The spacing and easing match the file exactly, not an approximation of it.

(Honest Answers)

Good questions,
straight answers.

We design websites, build them, and look after them once they're live. One small studio handles all of it, from the first idea through to hosting and upkeep. Online stores, brand sites, interactive 3D, all held to the same standard.

From around $350/month, all-in: design, build, hosting and care, nothing else to buy. Prefer to own it? One-off projects run high four figures to mid five figures, fixed-quote. Tell us your budget and we'll be straight about what's possible.

A few weeks, not months. Bigger interactive builds take longer. Either way, you get a real timeline up front, and we stick to it.

Whatever suits your project, and yes, you can always update it yourself. Most of our sites run on Webflow, so you can edit them without a developer. When a project needs real 3D or speed a platform can't reach, we hand-code it and wire in an easy editor. We pick the tool that fits you, not the one that's easiest for us.

You'll have one shared space where the timeline and deliverables live, so nothing's ever a mystery, plus regular check-ins over Slack or Discord, whichever suits you. We can plug into the tools you already use, and we'll jump on a call whenever there's a real decision or milestone to talk through.

Your site is yours. The content is yours, and so is the code we write for your project; on Webflow, it's your account and content. You're never locked in. After launch, run it yourself or keep us on a care plan, and you can take it elsewhere whenever you like.

Development is our craft, that's what we do best. If you arrive with designs, or your own designer, we'll build them exactly as intended.
