Work with us – common questions
A few quick answers about how we work with freelancers, contractors, and partners at Kiwi Web Design.
Do you hire full-time staff or mostly freelancers?
Right now we mostly work with freelancers, contractors, and specialist partners. This keeps the team lean, flexible, and focused on the skills we need for each project. Over time there may be opportunities for more permanent roles as the business grows.
Do I need to be based in Auckland or New Zealand?
No, but it helps if you understand the New Zealand market. Many clients are in Auckland, so awareness of local business culture and time zones is useful. We are happy to work with people overseas as long as communication is clear and deadlines are respected.
What skills are most relevant for Kiwi Web Design projects?
The most relevant skills are WordPress implementation, WooCommerce, front-end UI, basic technical SEO, and a good understanding of practical small business needs. If you have experience with local lead generation, AI tools, or automation, that is a bonus.
How do you usually pay freelancers and partners?
Most work is paid per project, milestone, or clearly defined task. For ongoing arrangements, we may set up a monthly retainer or a fixed block of hours. We agree on scope, deliverables, and payment terms before we start.
What does your communication process look like on projects?
We keep communication simple. Most projects run through email, shared documents, and a clear brief. For more complex work, we may use task lists or simple project tools. The priority is that timelines, expectations, and responsibilities are very clear to everyone.
