Chefs Complements
Website Development
Chefs Complements is a well-established destination for people who love food and cooking, serving everyone from home cooks and food enthusiasts through to professional chefs and the wider hospitality trade. Alongside its physical Taupō store, the business operates a substantial eCommerce website with an extensive product range, as well as hosting cooking events and experiences throughout the year.
NinetyBlack originally designed and developed the Chefs Complements website and has continued to work closely with the business as its digital requirements have grown. What began as a website project has developed into an ongoing digital partnership supporting a large and constantly evolving retail operation.

A large-scale eCommerce platform
The Chefs Complements website has a significant eCommerce component, with an extensive range of products, categories and brands that need to be easy for customers to find, browse and purchase.
Our role extends well beyond maintaining the original website. We provide ongoing development, design and technical support to improve the customer experience, support the internal team and respond to the changing needs of the business.
This includes ongoing improvements to website structure and functionality, eCommerce development, UX enhancements, integrations, troubleshooting, campaign support and the continual refinement of the online shopping experience.
Ongoing digital development
Chefs Complements is not a static website that receives an occasional update. It is an active digital platform supporting a busy retail business.
NinetyBlack provides ongoing development and digital support, working collaboratively with the Chefs Complements team on new functionality, website enhancements, eCommerce requirements, customer experience improvements and wider digital initiatives.
This long-term relationship has given us a strong understanding of the business and its digital environment, allowing us to continually improve the platform rather than treating each requirement as a standalone project.
The bigger picture
Chefs Complements is a strong example of NinetyBlack’s ability to support complex websites well beyond their initial design and build.
The project brings together large-scale eCommerce, physical retail, events and ongoing digital development within one evolving online environment.
Rather than simply building the website and handing it over, our role is to continue working alongside Chefs Complements as the business grows, helping ensure its digital presence continues to support its customers, internal team and commercial goals.
