Iona started her own business consultancy with 20+ years of experience in growing businesses.

We were very busy through covid, Ben graduated and Jason joined the team. Working remotely, we met at my dining table once a week.

The best web agency I’ve worked with. Efficient, communicative and genuinely lovely people.

Way Finders

We recently had a new website built with Grow My Business. They were easy to deal with, listened and responded to our needs and we have had some great feedback from the new site. Referrals to our services since the new site have pretty much doubled since it went live – a fantastic response. They have also been great with anything we have required as far as after care goes too and ongoing updates.

Anthony Harach

Stress free company that do what they say they will do. Deliver to a high quality, on time and priced very fairly. Iv worked with at least 7 different Web development companies in Wellington and have never been satisfied with delivery and price. Ioana and her team score 10/10 and never made me feel like anything was a hassel when it came to our business needs. Great guidance in regards to client pathways, although we didn’t get it 100% first go, within 24 hours this was fixed to perfection. Don’t look further if you are looking for the best Web Design/Developers in town.

Omaka Lodge

There aren’t enough words in the English language to describe the outstanding interaction we experienced with Grow My Business.

Our existing website was 7 years old and in desperate need of being replaced. A mutual connection recommended Grow My Business, so we researched websites they’d created for other businesses, and came away impressed and wanting to know more.

After a bad experience with a previous developer who took our money and ran, we were nervous, but after meeting with Iona we realised we were in the safest and most professional hands possible. We gave GMB the go-ahead to create a new website for us without any strings attached, and what a fantastic website it is!

Iona and Daniella and team were outstanding to work with each step of the way – they quickly understood the essence of who we were and what we offered, and transferred this to a website that is professional, up-to-date and elegant. The whole process was an exceptional experience, and we can’t recommend Grow My Business highly enough!

Jade Cartwright

The whole team at Grow My Business completely blew us away with their outstanding service, deep strategic knowledge, and eye for design.

We knew to expect great things from this team, but we were truly amazed at the quality of work, and the beautiful website they created for us.

Thank you so much, Iona, Dani, Ben, Jason, and Kira! You guys are truly fabulous at what you do, and it shows.

Essi Airisniemi

Iona, Ben and the Grow My Business team are brilliant. We’ve worked with GMB on a few projects now and are always in awe of the design finesse, functionality and business smarts applied to every aspect of their work. On top of this, they’re quick to respond and action changes. I’m looking forward to collaborating with GMB on many more projects to come – they’re the best in business!

Admin CheckHome

Could not recommend these guys any more. We have been working with them for a year now and both Ben and Iona have been amazing. All emails and requests are actioned so quickly.
We have had a really positive experience.

Michelle Henry

Creative. Professional. Solutions based. What more could you ask for in a web-designer?
Over the years, I have had many a website built. This was the easiest process yet! They took the brief, drafted a concept and once approved, it was smooth sailing. They even came up with a few imaginative ideas to make the site more interesting and engaging. We (WiseNav) couldn’t be happier with the result.

Renée Rowland

We loved working with Grow My Business, they understood the mission, took it up immediately and worked quickly to produce what we needed, even when we were really vague and didn’t really understand all the things we needed. Never patronising or impatient, always respectful and responsive and ultimately delivered a website that continues to exceed expectations. Can’t reccommend them highly enough.

Tatum Steers

Found GMB through a recommendation on LinkedIn. Iona and the team did not disappoint. They were wonderful to deal with throughout the entire process of designing our new website and post delivery continue to be just as responsive as they were on day 1. It’s been a pleasure working with them and would definitely recommend their services to others.

Emily Lake

A great experience from start to finish working with Grow My Business. I needed a small website turned around really quickly and the team delivered on time and on budget. They walked me through the process and answered all my questions in language I could understand. Really happy with the end result and would work with them again in a heartbeat.
