Websites, tracking, and workflows that stop small business work from leaking time.
TienWave Labs helps small New Zealand businesses build better websites, repair WordPress and Shopify friction, tighten SEO and GA4/GTM visibility, and connect the operational pieces that keep turning into manual admin.
What changes
Less chasing, fewer broken handoffs, and a site that makes the next step obvious.
What usually needs fixing
Most website problems are really workflow problems.
The visible issue might be a slow page or a broken form. The expensive part is usually the time lost around it: missed enquiries, manual checking, unclear ownership, or staff rebuilding the same process every week.
Service lanes
Three practical ways to move the work forward.
Start with the lane that matches the current bottleneck. The work can stay focused, or expand into the surrounding system when the source of friction is bigger than one page.
- Landing pages and service sites
- Shopify setup and store polish
- Booking and enquiry flows
- WordPress rescue and cleanup
- Speed, accessibility, and mobile fixes
- Tracking and form reliability
- GA4 and GTM cleanup
- Service-page SEO structure
- Lead and CTA measurement
- Shopify, forms, and CRM handoffs
- Lightweight dashboards and reports
- AWS and API integration work
How we work
Calm delivery, clear tradeoffs, no theatre.
Small businesses usually do not need a giant discovery phase. They need someone technical to understand the moving parts, pick the right first move, and ship improvements that can be maintained.
- 01
Listen to the mess
Start with the real workflow, not a template. What is slow, fragile, confusing, or costing time?
- 02
Find the smallest useful fix
Prioritise the work that removes friction first, whether that is a page rebuild, a theme repair, or an integration.
- 03
Build in visible slices
Keep decisions concrete with working previews, clear tradeoffs, and practical checks before changes go live.
- 04
Leave it maintainable
Document the moving parts, reduce avoidable dependencies, and keep the system understandable for future changes.
Good starting points
Bring the rough version of the problem.
The first conversation does not need a polished brief. It is enough to show the screen, spreadsheet, admin process, or customer journey that keeps causing friction.
- A WordPress site that looks fine but is hard to update safely.
- A Shopify store where customers hesitate, abandon, or ask the same questions.
- A booking, enquiry, or quote flow that creates manual follow-up work.
- A site with GA4 or GTM installed but no clean view of where leads come from.
- A spreadsheet-driven operation that needs a small dashboard or repeatable report.
- A set of tools that should exchange data but currently rely on copy and paste.
