Your business should work for you.

Most business owners are doing things manually that a tool should be doing. Or their website sits there looking okay but bringing in nothing. Or they know something’s off and they just don’t know where to start.

That’s where Dear John comes in.

We fix what’s getting in the way: websites, automations, AI tools and custom integrations.

Local, straight-talking, no jargon. You tell us what the problem is. We sort it

three things done well

Build IT

A clean, professional WordPress website that looks good on any device. Built to suit your business – not over-engineered, not a template dumped online. Priced for small business budgets.

look after it

Your website needs regular updates to stay secure and running. We handle all of that. You get a monthly report so you always know what’s happening – no nasty surprises.

make it work harder

If your website isn’t bringing in enquiries, something’s off. If your team is doing things manually that should be automated, that’s fixable too. We look at what’s actually going on and fix what needs fixing – websites, workflows, AI tools, integrations.

Years Of Experience

a bit about dear john

Dear John has been sorting websites and systems for NZ businesses for over 10 years. Marjan runs the show because she believes your business should work for you — not the other way around.

Marjan built her first website in 1995; back when the internet still screeched at you while dialing in. Since then, she’s done it all: design, coding, integration, strategy, conversion optimisation, and copywriting. While others only build websites, Marjan makes sure they actually sell.

Her superpower? Instantly spotting issues and knowing exactly how to fix it without drowning you in marketing buzzwords.

Local, straight-talking, no jargon. We build on open platforms so you’re never locked in. And if something needs automating, connecting or rethinking – we do that too.
