The questions people actually ask

No sales spin, just straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us and we will tell you honestly.

Less than you would expect for the standard of work. Our delivery team works from the Philippines, and that global talent and the efficiencies it brings are how we put custom grade websites, long out of reach for a small business, within reach at a fraction of what they used to take. Tell us where you are and what you want the site to do, and we will come back with a clear proposal built around your needs, with no surprises later.

Most small business sites come together in a matter of weeks rather than months. The honest answer is that it depends more on you than on us: how quickly we can agree the shape of it and get your content and photos. Once we have those, we move fast.

Yes. It is yours. We build it, host it and look after it for you, but the site and your domain belong to you, and you are never held hostage to keep them.

It is the AI written answer that now sits at the top of a lot of Google searches, above the usual links. People read it and often never scroll. That matters because the goal has shifted: it is no longer only about ranking, it is about being one of the sources that answer quotes. We build with that in mind, and we track which of your pages get cited.

A site we build is fast, technically sound and structured so search engines can read it, which is the groundwork for showing up. No honest provider can promise a number one spot, and anyone who does is guessing. What we can promise is disciplined work and clear reporting, so you always know where you stand.

Often, yes. If the foundations are sound we can work with what you have, improve the speed and the search side, and build from there. Sometimes an old site is fighting you more than helping, and a rebuild is the cheaper path in the long run. We will tell you honestly which one you are looking at.

Yes, all of it. Domain, hosting, security, the database behind your forms, email that actually reaches the inbox, and the monitoring that catches problems early. It is the part most business owners never want to think about, so we look after it for you.

If you want to, yes. We can add a simple content management system and set your people up so editing a page feels like writing a document. If you would rather we just handle changes for you, that works too. It is your call, not a default we impose.

We are not interested in trapping people. The aim is to do good work so you want to stay, not because you have to. The specifics of any ongoing arrangement are set out plainly in your proposal so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.

UBE is New Zealand owned and part of Yoonet, with the team that builds and looks after your site working from our Balanga office in Bataan, the Philippines. Ben, who runs UBE, is in Dunedin. We are upfront about the model because it is the reason custom grade work comes at a price a small business can carry.

Ube is the Filipino purple yam, and we are named after it on purpose. It is the most recognisably Filipino thing we could have picked. We are a web design and SEO studio in Balanga, Bataan, and we do not sell food. If you came here for halaya, we are sorry.

Yoonet is the parent group and has been building for the web since 2003. UBE is its web design and SEO studio, based in Balanga. Same office, same people, one focus. The longer version is here.
