Web studio — New Zealand
Websites that work as hard as you do.
We build small business websites that are fast, considered, and designed to make the right impression — without the agency overhead.
Start a conversationWhat we build
Services
Brochure sites
A clean, fast website that explains what you do and earns the enquiry. No bloat, no unnecessary complexity.
Landing pages
Single-purpose pages built to convert. Clear hierarchy, deliberate copy, nothing to distract from the ask.
Refresh & rebuild
Your current site isn't doing you justice. We redesign from the ground up — or fix what's broken.
SEO & content
A blog your customers actually find, and content that earns its place in search results. We set up the structure, help with strategy, and write if you need us to.
About
Two people.
One studio.
Chris Toynbee and Neva Poletti — developer and UX designer.
Between us we've clocked something close to forty years in digital. Chris has been building on the web since 2000; Neva spent fifteen years in UX before we decided to do something smaller, and better.
We started Virgola because great local businesses deserve websites that actually reflect them — not something cobbled together on a Sunday afternoon, and not an agency job where you never meet the people doing the work.
You'll deal with us directly, start to finish. We'll tell you what you need (and what you don't), and we'll still be here when you need something changed six months later.
Our sites ship fast. They're built to last. And they don't look like templates.
