Web Design & Marketing That Guarantee You Sales
If you want a web design that works, or digital marketing that makes you more than it costs, then book a free strategy session today. If we can’t show you at least 3 ways to improve your website or marketing, we will send you $180 cash for wasting your time.
Conversions First
Sick of throwing money down the drain on websites that don’t convert or marketing campaigns that don’t work?
Over the years we’ve come across too many businesses making the same mistakes time and time again.
Everybody wants more visitors in the hope they will get more business, yet it is almost always easier (and cheaper) to double your conversions than to double your traffic.
Let’s assume two out of every hundred people who visit your site buy. Now imagine doubling that to 4 in every hundred.
You have essentially just doubled your revenue without spending a cent more on advertising.
There are three ways to achieve this. Improve the quality of your leads, improve your website usability and messaging, and improve lead follow up.
Over 95% of web designers are not taught these basics, which is perhaps why the vast majority of websites under-perform. If you want web design and digital marketing that delivers, book a free strategy session now …

What Our Clients Say About Us
Wow - talk about over delivering!! Jeremy and the team were simply awesome. No problem was too hard to overcome, the site build was outstanding, the pricing more than fair, but the service... the speed of reply... the communication... I work in the marketing field and this was just a purely brilliant experience!

I found EthicallyMAD online through Google Business and wanted to know what they could do for myself, being a local business. They suggested working on Google My Business and making some changes to a landing page. Currently, they've only been working on Google My Business which has gone bonkers. I went from having very few leads each week to having 7 plus in the third day of the changes being made. I think even the guys at EthicallyMAD were a little surprised as to how fast the changes worked. Overall was a solid investment and has paid for its self like 40 something times over. Thanks team.

We hired these guys to audit our Google AdWords campaigns and they did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable and technically savvy. I think any business that is looking to ramp up their digital presence and drive more leads would be in really good hands working with this company.

Professional and fun people to work with. Right combination of email and phone contact to get things working for me. Really responsive to my changes. Felt like a marathon there at the end with all the nit-picky things, but Jeremy hung in there, supported the process and delivered. Ka rawe.

The first encounter with the guys at EM was at a networking event at BNZ, and they were the special guest talking about digital marketing. We were looking for someone to re-vape, modernize our current website which was a little outdated, and after hearing the guys talk, we felt that they could help us achieve what we were needing. They are very knowledgeable, and know what they are talking about. Jeremy has been very helpful on keeping us updated with the process and Google. We now have a great new looking website that is fresh and creative. Thank you team EM

Before rebuilding our website it use to take a huge amount of time in processing online bookings. Now with the new site and an automated booking system we've been able to free up a team members time, which allows them to focus on more important things. We love the look and feel of the new site. Wouldn't hesitate in suggesting EM to anyone.

We found out about the guys from EthicallyMAD through a BNZ talk that one of my colleagues attended. Not long after attending the talk, we booked in for a strategy session. They went through our website thoroughly and educated us on what we could improve on. We attempted to make the changes ourselves but came to the conclusion that we needed some professional help. To cut a long story short we engaged EM to build us a new website. The new site is a breath of fresh air and it just works. They are always quick on responding, couldn't be happier!

I just had a new website built and wanted a second opinion before getting the final revisions completed. Jeremy and the team and EthicallyMAD provided great advice, especially from a conversions perspective. I wish I had chosen them to design and build the site as they take an approach I have never seen before... and I've had a few sites built now. These guys educated me on why they do things the way they do and at the end of the day, business is about return on investment. Thanks guys, Ash

Engaging EM was the best decision and best financial investment I have made since starting The Breathing Clinic. Getting a website up just seemed too difficult until I engaged EM to do it for me. I warned them that I was technically challenged and time poor and that they would have to drive it and break it down into small tasks for me. They made it all seem easy and I'm thrilled with the result. My website clearly conveys what my business is about and what services I offer and has made my job much easier. It made sense to engage web designers with a very strong marketing background given that a website is really a marketing tool and with their experience I was able to trust them as experts and actually enjoyed the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

These Guys are absolutely amazing. I found Jeremy through his website Walk On Water and thought what a great name as these Guys can probably perform Miracles. So the Journey started from concept through to up and running nothing was a problem, everything was explained in easy to understand jargon and the added bonus of monthly support for our Addwords and Management of our site. Since going live early this year we have noticed an increase of traffic and comments about the ease of navigating and using our site. I would be more than happy to recommend Ethically Mad to any one wanting the amazing services that they offer.Kerry Downer Nelson Car Hire LtdNelson

We involved the EthicallyMAD team right at the beginning of our business setup, when it was nothing but a few ideas and a rough pilot setup.

Thanks to them we now have a cohesive marketing strategy that we are able to drive mostly on our own, thus reducing our costs, but not the effectiveness of our marketing.Their fresh and direct approach to marketing is what helps us stand out from the competition.

Web Design & Marketing FAQs
Web Design & Marketing FAQs
A web designer will create the look and feel of a website, while a developer will code the functionality. Web designers are limited to the website builder they use (such as SquareSpace, Wix, or Weebly).
A web developer can create anything using custom code, though most need a designer to help with the look and feel. More advanced designers will often choose a platform such as WordPress that, while requiring more skill, allows a greater degree of flexibility and control without the need for coding skills.
A website built with conversion based design principles is designed to convert site visitors to customers. (While you may expect this to be the standard approach, well over 90% of web designers and have no training in conversions.)
This approach is the preferred method for business that want to get a good return on their marketing budget.
Many businesses treat their website as being separate from their marketing. They use a web designer (or worse – build it themselves), and then wonder why they get few leads or sales from their website.Â
A website is at the heart of almost all digital marketing efforts (and most offline marketing too). For the best results it needs to be designed with the marketing strategies that will be used in mind.Â
This is like asking how much does a car cost – every project is different. Too many businesses simply look for the cheapest quote, which is can leave them with something that under performs, is expensive to maintain, or needs replacing much sooner than they would like.Â
Just like a car, paying top price is no guarantee of being the best investment, but choosing the cheapest banger on the lot is likely to lead to disappointment and frustration.Â
For more information to help you decide, check the article we have written on ‘How Much Should A Website Cost?‘
We can develop sites to meet almost any business need, and generally each site is tailored to a clients specific requirements and budget. However, you can find out more by visiting out web design services page.

A website is at the heart of almost all digital marketing efforts (and most offline marketing too). For the best results it needs to be designed with the marketing strategies that will be used in mind.Â
Despite many claims that everyone should be on social media or must do SEO, there is no one ‘best’ solution. There are many variables, including your industry, budget, location, competition, goals, your team, existing marketing, website along with other variables.Â
If you would like to discuss which marketing methods may be most suitable specific to your business, then arrange a call and we will be happy to help.
Actually, we usually don’t bill by the hour. As almost every project requires a team of people (coders, designers, copywriters, Google Ad or SEO experts etc), it would be unfair to set a fixed hourly rate.Â
Instead we prefer to price each project by deliverables. That way you know exactly what you are getting, and exactly how much it will cost. No nasty surprises.Â
If we go over, that’s our loss, not yours.Â
EthicallyMAD was founded by Leon Jay, who was Director of Marketing for an international business, he has taught business owners from stages around the world, authored multiple books, and most importantly been a serial entrepreneur (and has conducted multiple 6 and 7 figure launches).Â
This means it was founded on very different principles to most marketing agencies – EthicallyMAD think more like a business owner than a marketer. We understand that web design and marketing need to be investments, not costs, and we understand the need for delivering results, not just invoices.
While we have our office located in Nelson’s CBD, our clients are spread across New Zealand and around the globe.Â
Because we are not based in a large city, and because we are in New Zealand, we are able to keep costs low, and so deliver much better value than many of our competitors.Â
