## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "I thought working with a large company with many departments to build a new website for our business would be trying. It wasn't. They listened to our ideas and what we wanted to portray as well as providing their expert advise. And then they came in under budget. We couldn't have wished for a better experience."

> "Zeald hosted our original website and as we liked the platform provided decided they would be our best option for a redesign. The team (Jarra, Ross, Oliver, Helen) has been fantastic to work with, are great communicators and make the whole process easy to understand. Every step has been clearly outlined and explained and they have fully understood the brief of what we were wanting to achieve with the redesign. I would highly recommend Zeald and look forward to the continuing growth of our"

> "We have had our website with Zeald for five years now and nothing but the excellent service. We are in the process of updating now but were really stuck on a design. The first draft wasn't to our taste at all, so we had a second meeting to explain, this is who we are, but we don't know how to express it. They came away with a stunning design, as though they read out minds. Totally satisfied and looking forward to our new website going live in six days time. I don't anticipate any problems, as"

## Before you hire a builder
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade — general guidance, not a claim about this business:_
- Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
- Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
- Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters) — check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the trader's skills, licences and insurance — ask for both before work starts.
