Comparison

Found vs a Traditional Web Agency

All-in-one monthly plan vs a big one-off project.

Found

Done-for-you, all-in-one

Traditional Agency

A traditional web agency builds you a custom site for a large one-off fee, then charges hourly for updates, SEO and support after launch.

Agencies produce great work, but the classic model — big upfront fee, then hourly billing for every change — doesn't suit most small NZ businesses. Found is built around a simpler, fairer way to get online and stay there.

Found vs a Traditional Web Agency FAQ

Found focuses on fast, professional sites for small and growing businesses. If you need a complex custom platform, a traditional agency may suit — but expect a much bigger bill.
