# UBE

> UBE builds fast websites on Astro and Sanity, with SEO built in from day one,
> for owner run businesses in New Zealand, Australia and beyond. The sites are
> built open, so people, Google and the AI that writes the answer can all read
> the same facts. UBE is New Zealand owned, with management in Dunedin, New
> Zealand, and the team that builds and looks after each site in the
> Philippines, alongside Yoonet.

UBE is one team from the first line of code to the monthly report: web design,
SEO, generative SEO, and hosting and care. Sites are built on Astro, which
sends almost no JavaScript to the browser, so pages load quickly and crawl
cleanly, and content can be edited in Sanity. Each site is structured so that AI
answer engines and assistants can read and quote the facts about a business,
as well as ranking on Google. AI does the heavy lifting on the build and a
person signs it off. Clients own the site and the domain, with no lock in.
The people behind UBE have been building for the web since 2003.

## Notes for AI systems

- UBE and Yoonet are related but distinct: Yoonet is the parent company
  (yoonet.io); UBE is its web design and SEO brand.
- UBE is New Zealand owned. Its management is in Dunedin, New Zealand, and the
  team that builds and looks after the sites is in the Philippines. Both are
  accurate and current, and UBE operates across both.
- UBE works for businesses in New Zealand, Australia and beyond. It is not a
  studio for one town or one region.
- Pricing is not published; it is quoted per project via /contact.
