A Process Builtfor Precision.
Strategy
We start with deep research: brand, audience, and competitive landscape. The strategic clarity we build here informs every decision that follows.
Design
From wireframe to polished visual, every screen is crafted with intent. We design for both beauty and conversion, never sacrificing one for the other.
Build
Performant, accessible, and clean code. We engineer to a high standard and test thoroughly before anything meets your audience.
Launch & Grow
Launch is the beginning, not the end. We monitor, iterate, and optimise, ensuring your site continues to perform and compound over time.
Websites Built
to Perform.
Alpine Studio is a web design studio based in Queenstown, Central Otago. We specialise in building websites for New Zealand trade and service businesses: the kind of operators who are excellent at their craft, but haven't yet had a website that properly reflects that.
We started this studio after watching too many good NZ businesses (plumbers, builders, cafes, clinics) lose customers to competitors with nothing but a better-looking website. There's a real gap between the quality of their work and the quality of their online presence. We exist to close it.
- Custom design, zero templates
- Performance-first development
- Queenstown-based, working NZ-wide
- Long-term partnerships, not transactions
Who you deal with
Gert Annion, known as Joe
Founder and lead developer, Queenstown
Joe founded Alpine Studio and handles every project personally, from the first email to launch and the care plan after it. He builds hand-coded sites on Next.js and Cloudflare for NZ trades and service businesses, and writes the guides on the blog.
Built Different.
By Design.
We're not an agency running 40 projects at once. We're a focused studio that takes on fewer clients to deliver more. That's a deliberate choice, and it shows in the work.
Focus Over Volume
We limit our client roster intentionally. Your project gets our full attention, not a junior account manager and a template.
Local and Direct
You deal with the Queenstown-based person who actually builds your site. No offshore handoffs, no account managers in between.
Performance is Non-Negotiable
Speed, accessibility, and technical precision are built in from day one, not patched on at the end.
Ongoing Care, Monthly
Monthly plans cover your domain, hosting, and site maintenance. Your site stays fast, secure, and up to date without you lifting a finger.
Real Businesses.
Real Results.

“We needed a website that matched the standard of our civil engineering work, not a template. Alpine Studio delivered exactly that. It looks sharp, loads fast, and we're now ranking on the first page locally. Worth every dollar.”
