A thin one page site rebuilt into a fast website that brings in leads

Mark at Maritime Masters is a compass adjuster, a specialist trade with a small pool of customers who need to find him at the moment they need him. His old website was thin, hard to find and not bringing in leads. In July 2026 I rebuilt it from the ground up on a modern technology stack, with none of the bulk or bloat of the old setup.

Before

  • Thin one page website
  • Hard to find online
  • Not generating leads
  • No way to make changes

After

  • Fast, modern website
  • Built to be found
  • Set up to bring in enquiries
  • Editable by Mark himself

What I did

  1. 01Starting point

    The starting point

    Mark came to me with an old, very thin one page website. As a compass adjuster he works in a niche field, so when a customer needs his service they need to find him quickly. The old site was barely getting seen and was not bringing in leads, so it was doing little for the business.

  2. 02Rebuild

    A modern rebuild

    In July 2026 I rebuilt the site from scratch on a modern technology stack. No bulky WordPress and no bloated code. The result is a site that loads fast, is built to be found when someone searches for a compass adjuster, and is set up to turn visitors into enquiries.

  3. 03AI editor

    An AI editor built in

    Alongside the new site, Mark gets an AI editor that lets him make his own changes easily, without needing to touch code or wait on anyone else. Simple updates are quick and painless.

  4. 04Dashboard

    A custom dashboard

    I also built Mark a custom dashboard that records phone clicks, enquiries and more, so he can see exactly what the site is doing for his business at a glance.

Where things stand

Website

A fast, modern site on current technology, no bloat

Visibility

Built to be found and to bring in leads

Control

An AI editor so Mark can make changes himself

Insight

A dashboard tracking phone clicks and enquiries

The site is live at maritimemasters.co.nz. The rebuild went live in July 2026, so there are no traffic figures to report yet. When there are, they go here. If you want a story with numbers already in it, read the Devonport Recycle rebuild. For a specialist trade like Mark's, being findable at the moment someone needs you is the whole job, which is what the AI search side is for, and it is standard on every Auckland build.

A website that finally works for the business, and that Mark is thrilled with.
