About us

Digital built for creative minds, wherever they wander.

Made simple for you, by us.

Yes, our name is literal. Online Designs. Back when we started, that was enough, a pc, some code, and the wild frontier of the early internet. More than two decades later, the internet has evolved and so have we.

Established in 2002, we've crafted countless web and digital experiences across various platforms and industries throughout New Zealand, Australia, UK, USA and Canada. We're not in the business of digital mass production. Instead, we promise our clients the kind of personal touch and commitment each project needs. To us, there's no better compliment than a client returning for another project. We're proud of the work we do and the impact we have on the businesses and people who work with us.

Our story

Something a little different

Online Designs is an independent digital agency.

Born in Northland, we started small. One person, a kitchen table, and a focus on building websites that actually worked. Today, we're a tight team of designers, developers, and digital marketers who still enjoy the details most people skip over. The structure behind a website. The flow through a system. The small decisions that quietly shape how something performs.

The early days of the internet

We design websites.
We build systems.
We shape brands and digital experiences.

But more than that, we make things simpler, clearer, and more effective than they were before.

Our strength is flexibility. Some projects need strategy. Some need design. Some need everything pulled apart and rethought from the ground up. We adapt to what's actually needed.
