Aotearoa Web Design
Aotearoa Web Design is just me – Jason Koning. I’m a professional WordPress consultant who has made my living building, hosting and maintaining WordPress sites for small businesses across New Zealand for more than ten years.
I formed my company out of the chaos of the Christchurch earthquakes and have grown my business since then, working mostly from my home office. I don’t have a sign-written car or a “a unique selling proposition”, and I don’t wear a suit – my point of difference is that I continuously strive to provide great service and exceptional ongoing support. When clients work with Aotearoa Web Design, they work with a real person who knows them and their business, personally.
