Keen to join us?

Founded by Sean Timlin and Paul Stockton in 2018 in an Auckland basement with nothing but a dream to be one of the most trusted web development partners out there, we believe we're well on our way.

With over 30 years of combined experience in the web industry and now a branch in Ireland, we can really deliver round-the-clock web development.

Aside from being absolute nerds, we also find that having a laugh and building enduring relationships with great people is another one of our specialities and what we truly love to do.

Our Values
01.
Reliability

One of the most common things we hear about web developers is that they are excellent magicians! They keep doing disappearing acts on their clients. Not us, we're a dedicated team with a dedicated office, you'll always know where to find us.

02.
Integrity

We stand by the words "do what you say you're going to do" - and if something stops us, we'll go above and beyond to rectify the situation.

03.
Honesty

No one likes a fibber, and we all know you won't last long in this game if that's your attitude. We pride ourselves on staying true to our word.

04.
Friendship

This one is extremely important to us. Over the years in this business, we have not only formed business relationships, but real lasting friendships.

Testimonials
Sean and Martha have been integral to our SME's expansion. Martha walked through every step of how we do business and mapped it all out... it was a real eye-opener. Sean made small changes that mean all our contracts and paperwork are auto-populated. It is such an improvement!
Michelle, EPiK Media

Ben Male, Team Empathy
Paul and Sean have built incredible sites for me and my clients. They’re clever, reliable and creative in their approach. Save yourself time and grief by going with these “websiterists” 👌
Ryan Thorpe, The Zoo Creative
Awesome studio with and engaged team who really know their stuff. The guys at Control Shift helped me build a dynamic website which my clients love. Highly recommend their services.
Talitha Mentz, The Lurid Republic
Paul was an exceptional operator. He worked with me through Christmas to make sure our digital presence was as seamless as possible. He took the load speed of our website from 11 plus seconds to close to 2 seconds. As well he made innovate suggestions on ways to improve the prospects experience free of charge. Highly recommend.
