Our mission: To make New Zealand's public sector websites secure, accessible, and ready for the future.
Border Street is a senior-led digital services agency dedicated to helping New Zealand's public sector deliver secure, accessible, and modern websites.
Since 2019, we have partnered with government agencies and councils to design, build, and manage websites in high-trust, compliance-driven environments. Our work is grounded in transparency, responsiveness, and technical rigour.
We are not a large multinational vendor. We are a focused, local partner who understands New Zealand's government standards and context, while applying international best practise in security and accessibility.
Compliance First
Every project is aligned with NZISM, WCAG 2.2 AA, and NZ Government Web Standards.
Transparency Always
No black boxes, just dashboards, reports, and plain-language communication.
Building Capability
We empower teams with knowledge transfer, training, and advisory support.
Long-Term Care
We see every engagement as the beginning of a relationship, not the end of a project.
