What Our Clients Say...

I really appreciate your help (migrating website hosting and setting up emails) and doing this so quickly too! Thank you so much.

The website is loading so quickly, it’s amazing!!!! And a big relief!!

Very happy to have made the switch.

HannahThe Rubbish Trip

We had our first ever website created and hosted by Steve, Jo, and their team at Slightly Different and they have just created a second website for us for a new venture. Steve and Jo were very patient with us and took the time to explain the capabilities of our websites to us in plain language.

The team at Slightly Different has an outstanding blend of good old-fashioned customer service coupled with cutting-edge technical knowledge and professional expertise.

Any questions we have had have always been answered promptly with minimum or no disruption to our business.

We would not hesitate in highly recommending the team at Slightly Different, they go well above and beyond, such amazing service!!

I’ve been working with Steve and the team from Slightly Different for years. They host both my websites and emails for my small businesses. In my eyes Steve is awesome! I have limited computer knowledge and/or skills, which is where Steve comes in. He’s always there on the other end of an email and in a flash. Helping me out with so much patience that he surely is a saint. :) Steve is great to deal with, he is highly skilled with a vast knowledge of everything techie, but best of all speaks in plain language. To me its also vitally important to be using a local NZ business. I would highly recommend Slightly Different to anyone wanting website hosting.

I’m a freelance web designer. Switching to Slightly Different Ltd has been the best business decision I have ever made. His speedy support and can-do attitude has helped me build better websites for my clients. They enjoy a hassle-free hosting service, and while I’m making the websites look visually appealing, Stephen has a huge wealth of technical experience that helps make the websites ‘perform’ as they should. I couldn’t recommend a better hosting service to any web designer or agency. The plugins I get access to help me build websites faster and I know they won’t slow down the site. No call centres and costly upsells as the website grows. You will wonder why I didn’t switch to Slightly Different Ltd sooner.

We’ve been working with Steve and the team at Slightly Different for years, with multiple websites (our clients and our own) hosted on their WebEasy service. We were referred to Steve after having issues with the lack of support we were receiving from an overseas based web host – we should have known better and gone local from the beginning.

Slightly Different have been exceptional. They are very approachable, highly skilled, knowledgeable, and talk in plain language. On the rare occasion there has been a technical problem (usually our fault), the communication has been excellent, and the problem solved above and beyond our expectations. And with the personal touch!

We would highly recommend Slightly Different. Great to have Steve and the team in our corner!
