A professional digital presence for iwi, hapū, Māori land trusts, and Māori enterprises — built in a single day so you can focus on the mahi that matters.
The digital gap facing Māori organisations
Iwi, hapū, and Māori enterprises are among the most dynamic organisations in Aotearoa. Post-settlement entities manage significant asset portfolios, Māori land trusts steward whenua across generations, and Māori businesses contribute over $70 billion to the New Zealand economy. Yet many still lack a basic digital presence that reflects the scale and significance of their mahi.
This isn't about a lack of ambition — it's about priorities. When you're managing Treaty settlement assets, running AGMs for thousands of beneficiaries, or delivering social programmes for whānau, building a website falls to the bottom of the list. But without one, your organisation is invisible to potential partners, funders, and the very whānau you serve.
A Build in a Day engagement gets your iwi or Māori organisation online quickly and respectfully. We understand that digital tools must serve your kaupapa — not the other way around. No generic templates. No culturally tone-deaf stock imagery. A website that reflects who you are and what you stand for.
What you get in a day
Organisational profile & whakapapa
Tell your story — your history, your rohe, your people, your vision. A dedicated section that introduces your organisation with the depth and mana it deserves.
Whānau & beneficiary information hub
A clear, accessible page for whānau to find key information — AGM dates, grant applications, contact details, and updates from the rūnanga or trust board.
Contact & location pages
Office locations, marae details, key contacts, and enquiry forms. Essential for whānau engagement, partnership enquiries, and government communication.
Mobile-optimised design
Works perfectly on phones — because most whānau are accessing information from mobile devices, not desktops.
Bilingual content support
Te Reo Māori and English content presented with equal prominence. We ensure macrons are handled correctly throughout and te reo is never an afterthought.
Hosting & domain setup
Domain registration, hosting, SSL, and email — all sorted by end of day. You walk away with a live, working website your whānau can visit tonight.
How the day works
Morning kōrero
A 30-minute call where you share your organisation's story, goals, and what matters most to your whānau. We listen first, build second.
We build while you work
Send us your photos, logos, and key information. We handle the design and content while you focus on your day — no technical knowledge needed.
Midday review
Check the preview on your phone or laptop. Let us know if anything needs adjusting — tone, imagery, te reo content. We refine same afternoon.
Live by 5pm
Your website goes live before end of day. Domain connected, forms working, ready for whānau to visit and partners to discover.
What changes after launch
Visible to whānau
Beneficiaries and whānau can find your organisation online, access key information, and stay connected — without chasing phone calls or waiting for pānui.
Partnership-ready
Government agencies, funders, and potential partners can see your kaupapa, your track record, and how to engage with your organisation professionally.
Cultural authenticity
A digital presence that reflects Te Ao Māori values — not a generic business template with a koru slapped on it.
Foundation for growth
A professional starting point that can evolve into a full digital platform as your organisation's needs grow.
Frequently asked questions
Absolutely. We build with full Unicode support and ensure macrons display correctly across all devices and browsers. If you provide content in te reo, it's presented with the same care and prominence as English content.
Phone photos of your people, your rohe, and your mahi are perfect. Real imagery always outperforms stock photos. We'll handle editing and layout to make everything look polished.
The Build in a Day site can include enquiry and application forms. For complex grant management with workflows and tracking, we'd recommend our Launch or Grow service to build a proper portal.
We approach every iwi and Māori organisation engagement with respect and a willingness to listen. We don't assume we know your tikanga — we ask, we learn, and we build what serves your kaupapa.
Yes. We set up a simple content management system so your team can update pānui, event dates, and news without technical skills. We also provide training and support.
