The person behind ES1
You're not a number here. You're a local business owner with a real goal.
Hi, I'm Ektaj. I started ES1 Solutions because I kept seeing great local businesses with a bad website — or no website at all — and I knew exactly how to fix that.
When you work with me, you work with me. Not a salesperson. Not an account manager. The person who actually builds your site, learns your business, and cares whether it works.

What I do
A website as unique as your business.
Every site starts with a conversation, because no two businesses are the same. I learn what makes yours special, then build something that shows it.
Mobile first
Most of your customers will find you on a phone. I design for that screen first, then scale up.
Built to win work
Every page, button and line of copy is there to turn a visitor into an enquiry, a booking or a sale.
Genuinely fast
Your site is delivered as ready-made pages, so it loads almost instantly and Google rewards it for that.
Found on Google
Local SEO is built in from day one, so you show up when someone nearby searches for what you do.
I don't disappear
After launch I'm still here — for changes, questions, or when you're ready for the next step.
Recent work
Real businesses. Real websites.
Every site I build is live, fast and personal. Here's what I've shipped so far.

Case study · Community & hospitality
911 Coffee Co, Tokomaru Bay
A Māori-owned, community-created coffee business on the East Coast. Bold display type and kōwhaiwhai-inspired pattern carry their kaupapa — "Brewing Connections, Nurturing Wellbeing" — with their story, services and gallery built around it.
Story first
Design that leads with their kaupapa
Custom brand
Pattern and type built for them alone
Google Business Profile setup
Natural Health Remedies
A homeopath in the Bay of Plenty with no presence on Google Maps. I set up and optimised their Business Profile — correct category, service details, opening hours and description — so people searching for a homeopath nearby can actually find them, get directions and call in one tap.
Not every business needs a new website straight away. Sometimes getting found on Google is the fastest win — and it starts from $100.

One ongoing cost: hosting & domain — $50/month

The process
Live in as little as 2 weeks.
01
We have a chat
A quick call to understand your business, your goals and your style. No jargon, no pressure.
02
I design and build
I build your site and show you as it takes shape. You approve every detail before anything goes live.
03
We refine it
Your feedback shapes the final result. It only goes live when you're proud of it.
04
Launch
I handle the domain, hosting and setup. You get on with running your business.
Your website should feel like you.Not like every other business on the internet.
Most local business websites look the same because they're built from the same templates. I do it differently: I take the time to understand your business, your customers and what makes you stand out, then build something that actually represents you.
