Tools and websites built around how your business works
Lakion builds fast websites, custom web apps, WordPress systems, ecommerce stores, and integrations for NZ businesses that need more than another template. Clean code, clear strategy, and measurable outcomes from the same team.
The problems this service solves.
Manual work is eating the week
Copying data between forms, CRMs, spreadsheets, bookings, invoices, and inboxes creates delays and mistakes. Custom systems remove the double handling.
Your website does not fit the sales process
A brochure site can look fine and still fail to support quoting, lead qualification, bookings, ecommerce, or internal workflows.
Plugins are slowing everything down
Too many shortcuts create speed, security, and maintenance problems. Purpose-built development keeps the stack lean.
Traffic is not turning into enquiries
Development has to support SEO, paid traffic, and conversion. We build the technical foundation and the conversion path together.
A one-off fix vs a growth system.
Simple fixes can help for simple problems. When the goal is measurable growth, the service needs strategy, execution, tracking, and improvement working together.
Template websites
Useful when the brief is simple and the business only needs a basic presence.
- Lower upfront cost for simple sites
- Fast setup when features are standard
- Limited flexibility once your workflow gets specific
- More reliance on plugins and theme constraints
Best for: Simple brochure sites, starter businesses, and low-complexity launches.
Custom development
Better when your website needs to sell, connect systems, or support real operations.
- Features designed around your workflow
- CRM, booking, payment, inventory, and reporting integrations
- Faster, cleaner, more maintainable code
- Room to scale as the business changes
Best for: Lead-gen sites, ecommerce, portals, dashboards, automations, and custom web apps.
We will help choose the right growth path.
Practical work built around the outcome.
Each service page follows the same conversion-led structure, but the work inside changes around the channel, customer journey, and business goal.
Custom web apps
Dashboards, portals, quote tools, calculators, booking flows, and customer-facing platforms built around your process.
WordPress development
Custom themes, lean plugin development, faster backends, and WordPress sites that are easier for your team to manage.
Ecommerce development
Shopify and WooCommerce stores with faster product pages, cleaner checkout flows, and tracking that shows profitable channels.
API integrations
Connect your website to CRMs, Xero, MYOB, payment gateways, inventory, forms, email tools, and reporting dashboards.
Performance engineering
Improve Core Web Vitals, bundle size, caching, images, hosting, tracking scripts, and slow page templates.
Ongoing support
Post-launch improvements, new features, monitoring, maintenance, and technical help when your business changes.
Built with the right tools for the job.
We use the platforms, tracking, creative, and technical tools that fit the service outcome rather than forcing every client into the same setup.
WordPress, ecommerce, and custom systems without the bloat
You do not need a trendy stack for every project. You need the right stack for your business model, team, budget, and growth plan.
Lakion can modernise an existing WordPress site, build a fast custom frontend, create a Shopify or WooCommerce store, or connect the tools your team already relies on.
The result is a website or system that loads quickly, is easier to manage, and gives your marketing channels a better place to send traffic.
Payments and invoices
Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, Xero, and MYOB flows that reduce manual admin.
Bookings and leads
Forms, calendars, CRMs, and notifications connected so enquiries move faster.
Inventory and orders
Stock, shipping, order status, and customer messages kept in sync.
Reporting dashboards
Lead, revenue, SEO, and ad data shaped into dashboards you can act on.
A clear rhythm from discovery to improvement.
Discovery
We map the business goal, customer journey, technical constraints, and what the current site or system is failing to do.
Solution design
You get a practical scope, recommended stack, timeline, fixed-price milestones, and the highest-impact build priorities.
Sprint build
We design, develop, integrate, and show progress in useful checkpoints so feedback happens while the work is still moving.
QA and launch
We test forms, tracking, integrations, speed, mobile layouts, SEO basics, redirects, and critical customer paths.
Training
Your team gets documentation and walkthroughs so the finished system is not mysterious after launch.
Growth support
Lakion can stay involved for new features, SEO, paid ads, CRO, analytics, hosting, maintenance, and ongoing improvements.
Specialist services that support the same goal.
Lakion can combine related services into a single project or long-term growth retainer when the customer journey needs more than one channel.
Web apps
Internal tools, portals, dashboards, calculators, and customer platforms.
Ecommerce dev
Shopify, WooCommerce, checkout, payment, inventory, and analytics systems.
WordPress dev
Custom themes, plugins, faster admin experiences, and performance fixes.
API integration
Connect CRMs, bookings, accounting, forms, payments, and reporting.
Performance rebuilds
Improve site speed, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, and conversion paths.
SEO-ready builds
Service pages, redirects, metadata, schema, content hierarchy, and tracking.
Will this work pay back?
If the work improves lead quality, conversion rate, visibility, sales velocity, or admin time, the business case can become obvious quickly. We will help you quantify it before you commit.
