The verdict in three sentences
An interim management and PMO firm in Wellington sells availability and reliability: its website must show within seconds who is available, with what experience, and how to engage them quickly. A Wellington agency is justified if you want regular meetings on Lambton Quay, videos of your interim executives and a full rebrand; a fixed-price remote studio is more than enough for a site built on profiles, capabilities and references, delivered within weeks. In every case, get it in writing that the domain, code and profile library belong to you.
Why is a Wellington PMO website different from other consultancy sites?
Wellington runs to the rhythm of central government: ministries, agencies, Crown entities, plus insurers, digital and screen businesses. Buyers go through the GETS portal and apply the Government Procurement Rules; they want clear capability statements, verifiable profiles and evidence of programme delivery. With tighter public budgets in recent years, every tender counts and responsiveness makes the difference.
Your website should therefore offer:
- a profile library of programme directors, project managers and analysts, with domains and clearances mentioned only when accurate;
- a downloadable capability statement, updated in one click;
- a page on the panels and frameworks you sit on;
- anonymised case studies (digital transformation, agency mergers, regulatory programmes), published with written approval;
- a rapid engagement form: role needed, start date, duration.
How do you compare a Wellington agency, a freelancer and a remote studio?
| Criterion | Wellington agency | Local freelancer | Remote studio (Kolonell) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Build price (2026 ballpark) | NZD 10,000 to 30,000 (about USD 5,900 to 17,700) | NZD 3,500 to 9,000 (about USD 2,100 to 5,300) | USD 2,900 (Starter) to USD 8,900 (Premium) |
| Usual timeline | 8 to 12 weeks | 6 to 10 weeks | 3 to 4 weeks |
| In-person meetings | Yes, as needed | Yes, occasionally | No, video calls |
| Availability in your time zone | Full | Variable | Project manager reachable in NZST/NZDT office hours |
| Profile copywriting | Often billed extra | Rarely included | Native English copywriting included |
| Post-launch support | Monthly contract | Case by case | 3 months included, then on quote |
| Domain and code ownership | Check the contract | Check the contract | Accounts in the client's name |
Local ranges come from typical agency quotes and public rate pages; they vary with page count and integrations. Connections to your CRM, consultant management or proposal tool are on quote. Tier details are on the international offer page.
What budget over three years?
| Line item (median scenario, USD) | Wellington agency | Freelancer | Kolonell Starter | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Website build | 10,600 | 3,500 | 2,900 | 4,900 |
| Copywriting for 12 consultant profiles | 1,800 | 1,500 | included | included |
| PDF capability statement template | 600 | 600 | 600 | 600 |
| Maintenance and hosting, months 4 to 36 (market assumption: USD 100/month, applied to all) | 3,300 | 3,300 | 3,300 | 3,300 |
| 3-year total | 16,300 | 8,900 | 6,800 | 8,800 |
The maintenance line is a market assumption, not a Kolonell price: after the 3 included months, Kolonell maintenance is on quote. Starter covers a simple profile site; Growth adds the insights hub and more case study pages.
When should you prefer the local agency?
Honestly, a Wellington agency is the right choice if your firm is renaming or merging, because identity, print collateral and website need to be worked out together in workshops. It also wins if you want to film your interim executives at client sites, or if your board insists on a face-to-face contact.
A remote studio is enough if your brand already exists, the site mainly needs to structure profiles and evidence, and you want to go live before a major tender season.
Ask both: are the domain and hosting accounts in our name; how do we update a profile without a developer; which accessibility level (WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA) and which test; where are applications and enquiries stored; what do we get back at the end of the contract?

Framework: the Privacy Act 2020 applies to prospect and consultant applicant data received through your forms, and the Fair Trading Act 1986 to the claims on your pages. Public agencies follow their own web accessibility standards; a supplier site meeting WCAG 2.1 or 2.2 AA speaks their language. This is not legal advice.
Mini case study
Illustrative example. Sam Taufa runs Lambton Interim & PMO, 14 consultants deployed mostly with public agencies. Today each tender response takes about 6 hours to gather and reformat profiles. With a structured profile library on the website and an exportable capability statement, the team expects to get down to 2 hours.
Calculation: 20 responses a year × 4 hours saved × NZD 150 internal hourly cost = NZD 12,000 a year (about USD 7,080). A Growth site at USD 4,900 is therefore covered in under nine months by time savings alone, before any new contract.
FAQ
Should we list consultants' security clearances?
Only if they are accurate, current and the consultant agrees. A dedicated field in each profile is enough, with no sensitive detail; it fits in a Starter site at USD 2,900.
Can we show consultant availability in real time?
A manually updated "available from" note is enough for 90% of firms. Syncing with a scheduling tool is on quote.
How many pages should we plan?
A firm of 10 to 20 consultants often targets 15 to 25 pages, profiles included. Growth at USD 4,900 covers this typical scope.
Can a remote studio keep to a tender timetable?
Yes, if the date is known: delivery takes 3 to 4 weeks, with a project manager reachable in your time zone.
