About Website Lane
Hi, I’m Manpreet — an independent Auckland web designer
Sound familiar? You want a website, but agencies feel expensive and intimidating — and DIY builders eat up the evenings you don’t have.
I’m Manpreet Rana, and Website Lane is my one-person web design business, based in Papatoetoe. I build affordable, professional websites for tradies, salons, barbers, cafés, cleaners, shops and local services across Auckland and New Zealand. When you work with Website Lane, the person you talk to is the person who designs and builds your website — from the first message to launch day, and afterwards if you need help.
Why one person?
Working with one person is an advantage.
Website Lane is deliberately small. For a small business website, that’s a good thing — here’s why.
You talk to the person doing the work
No account managers relaying messages. Your questions go straight to the person designing your site.
Nothing gets lost in a handover
The person who plans your website also builds it, launches it and can look after it later.
Lower overheads, fairer prices
No sales team or big office to pay for — which is a big part of how a $300 website is possible.
Straight answers
If something isn’t worth your money, I’ll tell you. I’d rather earn your trust than upsell you.
What I believe
Good small business websites are simple.
Most customers want the same things from a local business website: what you do, where you do it, whether they can trust you and how to get in touch. A site that answers those questions clearly — and works beautifully on a phone — does more for a small business than a big, complicated one.
That’s why Website Lane starts with one great page at a fair, upfront price. You get online properly, without a big bill or a long project. If your business grows and you need more, the site can grow with it.
Affordable should never mean careless. Every site gets the same attention to mobile layout, loading speed, accessibility basics and honest advice.
Trust matters
What I won’t do.
Small businesses deserve straight dealing. These are lines I don’t cross.
- Invent reviews, testimonials, results or awards
- Promise first-page rankings or guaranteed leads
- Present example designs as if they were client work
- Bundle in services you don’t need
- Mix your ad spend into my fees
