What my clients say
Most of my work comes from word of mouth recommendations - and my website - so I'm very proud to share some of these kind words from my lovely clients.
The businesses and organisations I work with are often family-run small businesses, stretched for time and with no desire whatsoever to learn how to do a website. They just want to keep doing what they do best, and have me do what I do best - for them. Exactly like how I hire a Thames accountant to do all the accounting stuff for me, as that is most definitely NOT my THING!
Does that sound like you? Do you want your website done properly by someone you trust, who can meet with you at your workplace, or at a cafe - who is "just down the road" in Thames - with no parking fees, gridlocked motorways or even traffic lights!
For clients in other parts of New Zealand, like Sonia McIndoe from Mind Empowerment who is based in Wellington, we can also meet via Zoom or Messenger video etc.

“Kim has brought magic and the wow factor to my loose collection of ideas and wishes for our website. She is a fantastic listener and tunes in to the needs and requirements of her clients in a passionate and engaged way, as well as being incredibly warm and approachable.
She has a unique talent with colour and knows how to create feeling and brand identity by portraying mood with just the right shade of blue. Her technical knowledge is also impressive and she continues to stay up to date with all the latest updates in digital technology to make sure your website is performing at its best.
I highly recommend her talents to anyone who is thinking of launching or upgrading their web presence as she will help you express just what you want to say about your unique business and work through the process until you achieve just what you want"

“If people don’t want to work with me after seeing my website, they're not my people.
Kim has captured me better than I could capture myself. I can’t come up with the words myself, the way she does. What Kim does with words and pictures is magical – a very special gift.
Kim pulls it all together and makes it blend and sing. This is communication at its finest.”
Kim, you have captured me and what I can do to help people beautifully I adore your work and working with you xx

We've recently redone our website. Take a look - we love it.
Kim Buchanan from Thames Web Design has done an awesome job for us.
She brought our website into 21st century technology whilst keeping our retro 60s/70s vintage look.

Historic Kopu Bridge
Thames/Hauraki
"The website is a real credit to Thames Web Design. It is well presented, well laid out and contains a wealth of information on ways people can help to restore and protect the Bridge - through joining, volunteering, by donating etc.
The website is an important way for the Trust to maintain the profile of the Historic Kopu bridge and we are already aware of donations that have been made in part because of our professional web presence."

Best website and best wife ever! Lucky me!

Things people often ask...
How long does a website take?
Each website is designed specifically for you - no off-the-shelf templates. During your scheduled build time, I focus solely on your project, taking the time to understand your business, your goals, and what makes you different (even if that’s hard for you to put into words - that’s part of my job and my superpower!).
Once your content is ready (logos, photos, etc.), a small to medium website typically takes around two weeks.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Absolutely confidential. I appreciate and am privileged that my clients share their trust with me and their sensitive business information.
Everything you share with me is treated with care, professionalism, and complete confidentiality, so we can uncover those issues and fix them for you.

Ready to know more?
If you’re ready for a website that reflects the quality of your work and is handled properly from start to finish, I’d love to talk more with you about your business or organisation.
I work closely with a small number of clients at a time, offering helpful guidance, local knowledge, and websites that are built to work AND look good.
