About Lifeform Labs

Lifeform Labs Web Design specialises in WordPress, the most popular content management system on the planet.

We design & develop powerful websites that are platforms for you to promote your business and tell your story effectively.

Success online is about more than just having a website. Engaging with your audience requires strategic planning and consistent execution.

Web Design, SEO & Marketing

Lifeform Labs is a web design studio based in sunny Nelson at the top of New Zealand’s South Island.

Rob Edwards here, chief coffee drinker at the Labs. I’ve been developing websites since 2002 and working with content management systems (CMS) since 2004.

I’ve witnessed the rise of WordPress from a humble blogging platform to become the number one open source CMS which now powers over a third of the internet.

Its massive user base and vibrant development community make WordPress a solid choice if you’re looking for a business website with flexibility and extendable functionality. WordPress does simple and complicated well. It’s going to be around long term, which means peace of mind for you and me.

I’ve had over two decades of business experience in the Nelson region and have postgraduate qualifications in literature. I love bringing my skills and experience to bear on new projects and seeing tangible results.

Lifeform Labs collaborates with businesses of all types and sizes offering web design, e-commerce, custom-coded solutions, copywriting, social media marketing strategies along with on-site and off-site SEO.

We’re all about the wood and the trees – which means your business gets the attention to detail it deserves, while keeping the big picture in sight.

And when I’m not in the office building the interwebs, you’re most likely to find me out biking, paddling or trekking up a mountainside somewhere in one of the region’s national parks, camera at the ready.

If you have an existing business or startup and are serious about powering up your online strategy, let’s talk.

What our clients are saying...

When I needed a new website one of my prime interests was to have a user friendly simple and straight forward site that was a pleasure to visit. Simple, Honest, and Effective. It was a pleasure to work with Rob, he interpreted well and built exactly what I imagined, plus kept me well informed throughout the process. And it works! I’m really pleased with the whole process, and look forward to working with Rob to develop the site further as the business evolves.

Rob was great to deal with, prompt in his responses to my queries and ever willing to sort out my website problems with me, often at short notice. It was important to me that I retained some degree of control over my website and that I could learn from Rob as we went along. He was very open to this. He charged fairly and I look forward to working with him on an ongoing basis.

Rob assisted me build my first ever business website and logo. To say I am a rookie in these sort of things would be generous. I had absolutely no idea apart from the fact that I wanted some nice photos, a certain theme and was quite clear on the logo I wanted.
I can only praise Rob in all his dealings with myself and my colleagues – he was calm, informed, insightful, had great attention to detail and was always there whenever we had any questions. The result is a website and logo that I am 100% happy with created in less than 3 weeks. I cannot recommend Rob more highly.

Rob’s technical WordPress know-how has got my site up and running, but it’s his knowledge of the web that I’ve found especially useful. His advice on search engines and social media trends has helped me to develop an overall strategy – I know what I need to be doing next. Cheers Bob!

I can’t recommend Lifeform Labs enough. Rob has been extremely good to work with. His approach is professional, prompt, and above all helpful. He offered, and delivered, a very affordable product geared to my specific needs. Never once did I feel overawed by all the IT stuff, yet he did encourage me to grapple with some aspects of the web, which has improved my understanding immensely. If you need a web guy Rob at Lifeform Labs is your man.

Awesome job on the website Rob, your patience, problem solving and technical expertise have been invaluable in producing just what we needed. There is a collective sigh of relief from the Pataka team that we now have a clean, user-friendly site to showcase what we have to offer, or as one of Pataka’s staff put it… 'Super bloody marvellous'!
