THE PERSON BEHIND THE WEBSITES

Real business experience.
Better websites.

I'm Antony, the person behind Butcher Web Design. I help New Zealand businesses build a stronger online presence with websites and digital solutions designed around how they actually work.

I didn't start out building websites.

I started out running a business and looking for a better way to do things.

Before starting Butcher Web Design, I spent years building and running Hygieia Chemicals, a New Zealand cleaning chemical supply business. Like many business owners, I needed a website that worked properly without becoming another expensive, time-consuming part of running the business.

I became frustrated with the cost and limitations of traditional website platforms. I wanted more flexibility, more control and the ability to build features around the way my business actually operated.

So I started building my own solutions. What began as improving my own website grew into developing online stores, customer portals and practical digital systems.

That's why I started Butcher Web Design: to help other businesses get the same flexibility and control, without paying for things they don't need.

Your website should work for your business.

I don't believe businesses should have to change the way they operate just to fit the limitations of their website. Whether you need a straightforward business website, an online store or something more specialised, the technology should make running your business easier — not harder.

A different approach to web design.

No complicated agency process. Just practical solutions, honest communication and a website built around your needs.

01

Real business experience

I understand the challenges of running a business because I run one myself. My focus is on solutions that are genuinely useful, not unnecessary extras.

02

Direct communication

When you work with Butcher Web Design, you deal directly with me. No sales teams, no unnecessary handovers and no confusion about who is building your website.

03

Built around your business

Every business works differently. I take the time to understand what you need and build a solution that fits your goals, customers and day-to-day operations.

04

Support beyond launch

A website should grow with your business. I offer ongoing hosting, maintenance and support, including small updates to keep things running smoothly.

Straightforward from start to finish.

I work directly with you to understand your business, what you want to achieve and what your customers need.

From the first conversation through to launch and ongoing support, you'll know who you're dealing with and what's happening with your project.
