Starlifter.NZ

Kia ora and welcome to our little corner of the galaxy. We are Starlifter.NZ and we make web stuff.

Starlifter.NZ is a web development studio based in the EPIC Innovation hub in Christchurch, New Zealand and lead by me, Benet “Dr” Hitchcock, a web developer with over 10 years experience.

Our approach to projects is collaborative, both with clients and partners. Instead of being a jack of all trades we work with people who are specialists in their fields. The Web is much more complicated to what it was 20 years ago (in a good way) and one person can’t do it all.

We also produce a #WebDev podcast for the more technically minded, the Starlifter.Dev Show.

Your’s in code,

Head Starlifter

Gregg Builders hired Plato to help them stand out. Multiple sliders and various animations gave their site a pizazz that complimented the premium web design.
