Landing pages
One strong page that turns a visitor into a call, a booking or an enquiry. This is what we send you, already built.
We build it first.You pay when it's live.
Websites for local businesses. We make your draft before you ask, so you can see the real thing. No sign-up, no deposit, no call.
Scroll to build
Most great local businesses still don't have a website. Customers look you up before they call, and when there's nothing to find, they call someone else. So we build it for you, before you even ask.
Whatever you need,
we build it.
Landing pages are our speciality and the draft is free. Bigger builds get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Business websites
Several pages for services, gallery, team, prices and contact. Room to grow as you do.
Bookings & enquiries
Availability calendars, appointment requests and quote forms that land straight in your inbox.
Online shops
Sell products, gift vouchers or class passes online, with card payments and order emails.
Web apps & marketplaces
Directories, client portals, marketplaces and custom tools. Quoted separately, with a fixed price before we start.

A small studio,
by email.
Backroad Web builds websites for local businesses in New Zealand, Australia, the UK and France.
We work entirely by email, on purpose. No sales calls and no pressure. You reply when it suits you, between jobs or after the last guest checks in.
We're based in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and we say so up front. The same small team looks after your site from the first draft to the day it's live, and after.

Questions.
Is it really free to look?
Yes. The draft is already built and you can open it without signing up or giving a card. If you don't want it, ignore our email and nothing happens.
Do you only make one-page sites?
No. Landing pages are what we send as a free draft, because they're quick to judge. We also build multi-page sites, booking and enquiry systems, online shops, and custom web apps or marketplaces. Those get a fixed quote before we start.
Why did you build a site I didn't ask for?
Because it's much easier to decide when you can see the real thing. We'd rather show you than send a brochure.
Where did you get my details?
From your public business listing on Google Maps: your name, photos, reviews, hours and contact details. We don't buy lists.
What do I need to do?
Look at the draft. If you want changes, reply and tell us what. If you like it, reply “yes”. That's it.
Who owns the website and the address?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, and if you ever want to move we hand over all the files.
When do I pay?
Only after your site is live on your own address and you've checked that it works. We send an invoice at that point.
Is it a subscription?
No. The website is a one-off payment and the first year of hosting is included. After that there's a small yearly hosting fee, which we tell you before you say yes. You can stop any time.
I don't want more emails.
Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, or reply “unsubscribe” and we'll stop the same day.
