"I couldn't be more impressed with the service I received from Null Glitch. From our very first interaction, communication was clear, prompt, and professional — they took the time to understand our needs and set expectations accurately. Their team delivered exactly what they promised: a sleek, high-performance Next.js website built for our New Zealand market, with zero surprises, no hidden costs and outstanding attention to detail. What really stood out was how effortless the process felt. Whenever I had a question, the response was immediate and easy to understand. They kept me informed at every step, avoided jargon, and made sure I felt in control and confident throughout the build. The finished website isn't just visually great — it performs smoothly, is optimised for search, and clearly designed with the end user in mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Null Glitch to any business in NZ looking for a trustworthy, expert partner for web development.
