WebGophers is a web development company based in Gulf Harbour, Whangaparaoa, Auckland, New Zealand.
WebGophers was created in August 2008 by Phil Kent after his wife's frustration at the cost of a simple website for her start-up company.

Phil has been in the IT industry since graduating from university in 2004 and is experienced in web and software development working for companies in Taranaki, Auckland and Christchurch.

He saw a great opportunity in the market when searching for a template that he could change and customise for his wife's company, which lead to the creation of WebGophers — a company aimed at individuals and small businesses giving them the opportunity to market themselves and have a web presence without being charged the big prices.

"Thank you so much Phil. You did a great job with my site and I've had great comments and reviews. You make it all seem so easy and unscary!"
"I am the very proud owner of a website put together by WebGophers. My experience of the process was and continues to be stress-free because of the way Phil and Lisa work. They listened to what I wanted, did all they could to bring it to fruition and contributed their own ideas for my approval, which enhanced the finished product so beautifully. I could not possibly recommend WebGophers any higher than I already do."
