About Fullstack Forge
I Build Websites That Actually Generate Jobs
Most web designers make things look pretty. I make things that bring in customers — fast, SEO-optimised websites and AI-powered systems built specifically for tradies and small businesses in New Zealand.
The Short Version
Self-Taught. Obsessed With Results.
I'm Zachariah — a self-taught full-stack developer based in New Zealand. I didn't take the traditional path. No computer-science degree, no agency career ladder. I taught myself to code because I wanted to build things that actually work — systems that solve real problems for real people.
Over the years I've gone deep into React, Next.js, Node.js, databases, server infrastructure, SEO, and — more recently — AI and automation. Not because they're trendy, but because they let me deliver outcomes that most agencies can't: a website that doesn't just exist, but actively brings in leads, day after day.
I started Fullstack Forge because I saw too many small businesses paying thousands for slow, bloated websites built on page builders — sites that looked okay but didn't rank, didn't convert, and didn't generate a single extra phone call. That felt like a problem worth fixing.
Why Fullstack Forge
Not Another Web Design Agency
There's no shortage of people who can build a website. Here's why the businesses I work with keep coming back.
Conversion-First Thinking
Every page, every section, every button is designed to turn visitors into enquiries. I don't build brochures — I build lead machines.
Fast Delivery — Live in 7 Days
No months of back-and-forth. Your site goes live within a week, fully optimised and ready to generate work.
AI + Automation Advantage
I integrate AI-powered tools for lead qualification, automated follow-ups, and smart content — things most web designers can't even spell.
SEO Built In From Day One
Technical SEO, local keywords, structured data, fast load times. Your site is built to rank, not just to look good in a portfolio.
Under the Hood
What I Build With
I work across the full stack — front-end, back-end, infrastructure, and everything in between. Every project runs on modern, battle-tested technology:
Who This Is For
I Work With People Who Want More Customers
If you run a small business in New Zealand and your website isn't bringing in work, we should talk.
Tradies
Plumbers, electricians, builders, painters, landscapers — anyone who needs the phone ringing with local jobs.
Local Businesses
Cafés, salons, gyms, mechanics, cleaning companies — any service business that relies on local customers.
Growing Operators
Small teams scaling up who need a website and systems that grow with them — not one that holds them back.
