Activate builds smart, modern, professional websites. But we can also 'tune' your website to perform well in searches and increase rankings for keywords specific to your industry.
We have specialised strategies and techniques to drive LARGE amounts of traffic to your website. This is called Search Engine Optimisation or S.E.O. for short.
Search Engine Optimisation increases quality traffic to your website from people looking for your products or services.
There’s a lot of smoke & mirrors out there about this complex and dynamic field and it is rarely understood properly. Which unfortunately makes it a perfect haven for rogues and hoodwinks! We wish to provide clarity and knowledge to our clients.
See our video for a beginners intro---- to SEO, Google Ads and how we can rev up your web traffic which will significantly increase your sales and/or enquiries.

You may be surprised to find that you can’t send out emails to hundreds or thousands of people from your normal email account.
IF you do this you’re likely to get flagged as spam, which can be very hard to rectify! You might find yourself blacklisted to the point where you can no longer send emails reliably to anyone!
You need to use a proper bulk email system designed for appropriate mass-emailing tasks.
We offer our ActiveMail email system - designed to make keeping in touch with your client base simple and easy. You will be surprised just how simple, fun and effective it is to run your own email marketing campaigns.
ActiveMail is a great alternative to the many email marketing campaign systems available today, most of which can be very difficult and frustrating to use, with ugly templates and hard-to-decipher navigation.

WEBSITE HOSTING
YOU CAN RELY ON
A critical aspect of being online for a business is the hosting platform. But it’s an area often overlooked by those seeking a new website. The reason is usually because, at the time, the principle focus is the website itself and not the hosting platform it will operate on. As long as the site works — that is all that matters, right?
Website hosting often isn’t given a serious thought until something goes horribly wrong, and it does! We’ve had so many clients come to us for managed hosting who have expressed this exact situation; ‘I just had NO idea about the importance of hosting’ - is a common phrase.
Our ActiveHost system takes daily backups of all our customers individual sites plus we take a disaster recovery backup of our entire server every day. So we can roll back a customers website to the most recent backup in the event of something small going wrong. Or we can restore our entire server easily if something big goes wrong.
We have an online support ticket system and tech staff available for you to call for any email and website support. We take the management and security of hosting our customers websites extremely seriously.
We run our servers right here in New Zealand for optimal performance and efficiency. Housed in a modern data-centre, purpose built in 2018. Fully redundant power supply and cooling, carrier neutral and environmentally friendly.
