Webflow & Shopify specialists. Built for commercia
Skyrocket is a certified Webflow Partner and Shopify Partner based in Auckland, New Zealand. We design and build websites for established businesses across New Zealand and Australia. Businesses that need their site to work commercially, not just look good at launch.
We specialise in two platforms because depth beats breadth. Our Webflow team builds custom websites for content and enquiry-led businesses: professional services, hospitality, B2B, where trust, clarity and ease of management matter most. Our Shopify and Shopify Plus team builds ecommerce stores for established retailers and DTC brands who are serious about conversion. Clean Collective saw a 103% increase in conversion rate and a 28% increase in sales after their Shopify rebuild. Heritage Saunas launched on Webflow with a 4.6% enquiry conversion rate against an industry benchmark of around 2.7%. Slight Twist won three CSSDA awards including Special Kudos.
Before anything gets designed, we map the commercial landscape the client is operating in. What competitors are doing, where the friction is in the category, what customers need to understand before they commit. That thinking shapes the structure, the user flow and every page we build. Most agencies start with a template and work backward. We start with the market and work forward.
The process we follow has been tested and refined across seven years of projects and it does not change depending on the size of the brief.
We are based in Newmarket, Auckland and Arrowtown, Queenstown. We work with businesses across New Zealand, Australia and beyond.
If you have a website that should be working harder, we should talk.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
In the intial stages of the project, we discussed the timeline moving forward. Bear in mind the timeframe included the New Zealand summer shut down period. Each check-in and deadline was met either on time or early, and any delays that occured were due to our own shut down period. The skyrocket team was very prompt in their replies and offered different options throughout. Their key deliverables were met, and little to no micromanagement was needed on our side.

Samantha was a delight to work with, she showed initiative throughout the process as well as educating our team along the way on why she was doing things. That was a fantastic added bonus as it made justifying the project that much easier. We could also then measure the impact of skyrocket at a granular level.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Skyrocket could have done differently?
Not that we could see.
