About Tauranga based, NZ wide Support 6am–8pm NZT

About MCL Web Solutions

I’m Brendan McLelland. I build custom-coded websites and web systems for NZ businesses, combining practical small business experience with a developer-led approach to design, performance, and maintainability.

Why We Do What We Do

I’ve always been fascinated by coding and problem solving. I enjoy seeing a complete project come together, from early design through to a working site or system that’s live and helping a business.

Before moving into web development, I worked in landscaping and construction for nearly five years, and I also owned and operated a small landscaping business for two years. That background helps me understand how trades and small businesses think day to day: clear communication, reliable timelines, and building something that actually supports enquiries, quoting, and workflow.

We’re Tauranga-based and work with clients NZ wide.

Custom Code Only

We don’t build CMS “site builder” websites. If you need something flexible, scalable, and maintainable, we build it with custom code and a clean handover.

Who We Work With

Trades and service businesses (enquiries, quoting, bookings)
Small businesses that need a site they can rely on
Startups building portals, dashboards, or internal tools
Ecommerce businesses that want a custom platform (not a template)

What We Build

Most projects fit into one of these categories. If you’re not sure where you fit, we’ll help you decide.

Web Design — modern, conversion-focused sites
Custom Web Apps — portals, systems, integrations
Ecommerce — custom stores and product workflows
Support & Maintenance — updates, monitoring, improvements
Hosting — SSL included, backups, migrations
Security — practical hardening as part of ongoing care

Our Approach (how we work)

1) Understand the goal

We focus on what success looks like, enquiries, sales, quoting, operational efficiency—then plan the build around it.

2) Design + build together

Clean layouts and a sensible structure first, then custom code that stays maintainable as the business grows.

3) Launch with the basics right

Performance, SSL/HTTPS, redirects, and practical security controls, done without overpromising.

4) Improve over time

Ongoing support is available for updates, content tweaks, and feature improvements as your needs evolve.

Tech we use (typical stack)

We choose tools that are reliable, widely supported, and a good fit for custom builds.

Laravel
Filament
PHP
Flask (where appropriate)

Stripe (payments)
Cloudflare (WAF / performance)
Git based deployments
Staging environments (on request)

Note: tooling varies by project requirements. We’ll recommend the simplest solution that meets your goals.

What Clients Say

About FAQs

We operate out of Tauranga and work with clients NZ wide. Most of our work is for trades, service businesses, small businesses, and startups that want a custom build.

No, our focus is custom coded websites and web systems. If you need a custom platform, ecommerce workflow, portal, or something that needs to scale cleanly, custom code is often the better long term fit.

You can keep things simple, or we can provide ongoing support and maintenance, updates, monitoring, backups, and small improvements, depending on what you need. See Support & Maintenance.
