About Yellow Design
Helping businesses build, care for, and grow their websites.
Since 2008, Yellow Design has helped businesses, organisations and community groups across New Zealand get more from their websites. From designing new websites to providing ongoing care, support and digital advice, we’re passionate about helping our clients build a strong online presence that supports their long-term business goals.
A focus that hasn't changed since 2008.
Yellow Design was founded by Tony Zwies and Hamish Fraser with a passion for creating websites that were both visually appealing and easy to use.Over the years, the digital landscape has changed dramatically. Websites have become more powerful, technology has evolved, and businesses have greater opportunities than ever to connect with their audiences online. While much has changed, our focus has remained consistent: helping organisations communicate clearly, build trust, and grow through effective digital experiences.
Today, Yellow Design combines website strategy, design, hosting, maintenance, and ongoing support to help businesses succeed online.
We believe good design doesn't start
with colours, logos, or technology.
It starts with understanding people.
Human
Every business is different.
We take the time to understand your goals, your audience, and the challenges you are trying to solve. We believe the human side of design is about understanding, context, and empathy.
Technology changes quickly, but understanding people remains timeless.
Holistic
A website doesn't exist in isolation. It connects with your marketing, your operations, your customers, and your wider business goals. We aim to look at the bigger picture, ensuring every decision contributes towards meaningful outcomes. Good design considers not only the problem in front of us, but the wider environment in which it exists.
Thoughtful
We believe good design should solve problems, not simply follow trends.
Every website, page, feature, and interaction should have a purpose. We take a considered approach to our work, balancing creativity with practicality to create solutions that deliver real value.

Looking Forward
The digital world continues to evolve through artificial intelligence, automation, and new technologies.
While tools and platforms may change, we believe strategy, communication, and understanding people remain more important than ever. Our role is to help businesses navigate these changes with confidence, make informed decisions, and build websites that continue to support their goals well into the future. Technology will keep changing. People won't.
