Web stuff made of
star stuff

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 downtown ÅŒtautahi, Aotearoa (that's 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.

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

Yours in code,
Benet "Dr" Hitchcock
Head Starlifter
