Who We Are

The Founders.

Our Mission

Help Small & Medium Businesses look as good online as they are in real life.

We started LaunchDeck after seeing great local businesses lose trust because their websites looked outdated, unclear, or hard to use. Our goal is to build websites that feel modern, credible, and practical for real customers.

At LaunchDeck, we focus on creating websites and digital experiences that feel authentic, engaging, and easy for customers to connect with. Whether you're a tradie, sole trader, or growing business, we're here to make the process approachable, clear, and genuinely helpful from start to finish.

Fair and personal

We keep communication direct, scope clear, and pricing grounded for Small & Medium Business budgets.

Built for growth

From launch sites to redesigns and ecommerce, we focus on pages that support enquiries and long-term growth.

No inflated agency bloat

You get high-quality work without the layers, delays, and enterprise-level overhead.

With a background in sales, relationship building, and helping businesses grow, I'm passionate about helping business owners navigate the online world with confidence.

At LaunchDeck, I work closely with clients to understand who they are, how they want their business to be perceived, and how we can create an online presence that genuinely reflects the quality of their brand. I believe websites, branding, and digital marketing shouldn't feel overwhelming or confusing — they should feel approachable, clear, and built around real business goals.

My focus is on helping businesses understand the importance of first impressions online. From the tone of voice your brand uses, to how your website feels to potential customers, every detail plays a role in building trust and attracting attention in an increasingly digital world.

A great website isn't just about looking professional — it's about standing out, creating confidence in your brand, and helping more people discover your business. At LaunchDeck, we're passionate about making high-quality online presence accessible for businesses without the confusion or inflated costs often seen in the industry.

Hey, I'm Brett, a Tauranga local and family man with 13 years of experience in web design. I've spent over a decade teaching it, which means I know how to take something complex and make it simple — for your customers, and for you throughout the whole process.

LaunchDeck started because we kept seeing the same problem, great small businesses being priced out of quality web design, or paying agency rates for websites that didn't justify the cost. Professional web design should be accessible, transparent, and affordable without sacrificing quality.

My goal is clean, modern websites without the massive agency price tag, and a process that's actually stress-free from start to finish. If you're ready to upgrade your online presence, we'd love to chat.
