Built for organisations, not just businesses

Churches and community groups often have the same website needs as businesses — events, contact forms, news updates, service times — but without the budget or the technical person on staff to manage it.

We've built SouthStack's approach around making websites that are genuinely easy for non-technical people to update, meet NZ accessibility requirements, and don't cost the earth.

We're based in Rolleston and understand the Canterbury community. We work with local organisations directly, not through layers of account managers.

  • 😓 Current website was built years ago, looks outdated, and no one knows how to change it
  • 💸 Agency quotes have been too expensive for a nonprofit or volunteer-run organisation
  • 🐌 Site loads slowly on phones — most people are looking you up on mobile
  • Accessibility hasn't been considered — members with disabilities can't use the site properly
  • 📅 Events and service times are hard to update without calling someone technical

Everything you actually need

A clean, fast, accessible site that's easy to keep up to date — without paying for features you'll never use.

📅

Events & services page

Regular service times, upcoming events, and news — all updatable by your own team without any technical knowledge.

📋

Simple CMS

A clean content management system so any volunteer or staff member can update text, photos, and events from their browser.

📞

Contact & enquiry forms

Simple contact forms so people can reach you easily. Responses go to your email — no extra software needed.

Accessibility built in

WCAG 2.2 AA compliance as standard — so members with visual impairments, hearing difficulties, or motor issues can use your site fully.

📱

Mobile first

Most people find your organisation on their phone. Every site we build looks and works perfectly on mobile, tablet, and desktop.

🔒

Secure & maintained

HTTPS, regular security updates on a maintenance retainer, and no ongoing platform lock-in. You own everything outright.

Pricing for organisations

Affordable from the start

A typical church or community organisation site — up to 6 pages, CMS, events, contact form — starts from around $2,000–$3,000 + GST. This is significantly less than most agencies charge for equivalent work.

We're also open to discussing flexible payment arrangements for registered charities and community groups. Get in touch and tell us your situation.
