Daniel and Partners

Immigration law, Auckland

법무법인 새길, or Daniel and Partners, is an Auckland immigration practice. Most of its clients are Korean speakers dealing with a New Zealand government that works in English, and immigration is one of the few areas of law where the person it happens to often cannot read the rules it turns on.

So this is not an English site with a translation bolted onto it. Every page exists twice, at its own address, and neither half is the afterthought: the practice areas, the lawyer, the news, the contact page and the legal notice all answer in whichever language you arrived in. Which language you are answered in personally is a question on the form.

The site

The same home page in Korean at its own address, with the identical layout, photograph and enquiry button.
The same page in Korean, at its own address. Six pages in two languages, and a switch in the corner that keeps you on the page you were reading, so a link sent to a client opens in the language they read.
A home page section headed "Two kinds of immigration problem", splitting into a column for planning a move and a column for when something has gone wrong.
The work is sorted by what has happened to you rather than by statute. Someone weighing up visas and someone whose application was declined last week need different things, and the page separates them before either has to read a list of categories.
The services page: each area of work given a heading, a paragraph of plain explanation, and its own "Enquire about this" link.
Every area gets a paragraph in plain language and its own enquiry link, so the first message already carries which kind of problem it is.
The enquiry form, showing an optional KakaoTalk ID field, a "Reply in" choice, a free-text box for the client's situation, and a note on how the message is handled.
The form asks for a KakaoTalk ID and which language to reply in, meeting clients on the channel they already use. What they write is emailed straight to the lawyer and stored nowhere on the site, and the page says so in the open rather than burying it in a policy.
The lawyer's page: a portrait beside a biography giving his qualifications and the firms he worked at before.
One lawyer, named, with his qualifications and previous firms on the page. In a practice this size the biography is the credential, so it gets a page rather than a line.

What it costs

Most studios want $5,000 to $15,000 before they start. I don't.

A custom-built website, hosted, looked after and kept working, for one monthly fee, with nothing to pay upfront.

Starter

from$249a month NZD + GST

under $60 a week

A site that explains your business and brings you enquiries.

  • A custom-built site, written for your business, usually five to eight pages
  • Hosting, your web address and the padlock in the address bar, all set up
  • Built for a phone first, because that is where your visitors are
  • An enquiry form that comes straight to you
  • Google Business Profile set up, so you turn up in the map results
  • Hours, prices, photos and anything else that changes, edited by you, from a phone
  • Up to ten content changes a month, done by me

Professional

from$449a month NZD + GST

under $110 a week

A site that runs part of your business.

  • Everything in Starter
  • An ordering or booking system on your own site, with no commission on anything
  • Unlimited content changes done by me: text, images, new sections, layout
  • Ongoing search work: the site tuned for what people near you type into Google
  • Your Google Business Profile looked after, not just set up
  • A short note each month on who visited and what they did
  • First in the queue when you need something

Nearly everyone pays exactly the figure above. "From" is there for the rare site that is genuinely bigger than the plan: a second language, a dozen extra pages, a second system. You'd know that in our first conversation, before anything is built.

No contract. Cancel any month. You stay because the site is working, not because you're locked in.

You pay nothing while the site is being built. The first payment is on the day it goes live, and each payment covers the month ahead, the same way Netflix or Spotify bills you.

After twelve months on a plan, the site itself is yours to take anywhere. Your words, photographs and customers' details are yours from day one.

Which one is yours depends on whether the site needs to do something, like take an order or hold a booking, or simply explain something. Most businesses know which they are. If you don't, that's the first thing we'd talk about.

You see a first version within two working days. The free mockup is exactly that. Most sites are live in around three to five weeks. Ordering, booking, anything that does more than show information takes longer, and I'll tell you which one yours is after our first conversation.

This probably isn’t for you if

  • You need it live next week. Good work takes the time it takes, and I would rather say no than hand you something rushed with your name on it.
  • You want to pay once and never think about it again. This works because the site keeps being looked after. If you'd rather own a finished thing outright from day one, an agency is the better fit.
  • You would rather hand over a brief and not think about it again. This works because we talk, and if that sounds like overhead we will both find it frustrating.

Who you'll be working with

Jeesung Park

The person who answers the phone is the person who builds the site.

Nothing is relayed, nothing is handed down to somebody you have not met, and there is no second person to re-explain your business to a fortnight later.

I've been building websites since my second-to-last year of high school, through three years of university and two in a corporate web team. Nuri Studio is the first time the name on the door is mine.

I work from Christchurch, in English and Korean, and almost entirely online. A video call to start, then email and messages while it's built, so where you are has never changed how it goes.

A small studio, one pair of hands, working directly with the person whose name is on the door.
