The same business, eight working days apart.

Drag the handle to see what a website design rebuild actually changes. Same company, same services, same photographs — a different result.

Before — the site they had After — eight days later

Drag to compare

01

One clear action

The old page offered six competing links above the fold. The new one asks for a quote and gets out of the way.

02

Readable type

Body copy went from 13px grey-on-grey to 17px with real contrast. Most visitors are reading on a phone in daylight.

03

Proof, not adjectives

"Industry-leading solutions" became a number, a client name and a result you can check.

04

Half the weight

Four carousel libraries and eleven fonts came out. The page now loads in under two seconds on 3G.

Find your direction

Four ways the same site can feel.

Bold — heavy weights, a single electric accent, hard corners. Reads as confident and industrial. Suits contractors, plant and trades.

What we design

Website design for the jobs businesses hire us for.

Six shapes cover almost everything that comes through the door. If yours is not on the list, it is usually a version of one that is.

01Business websitesFive to ten pages that explain what you do, prove you can do it, and make getting hold of you obvious.
02RedesignsA site that looks dated or converts badly. Usually cheaper than starting over, because the content already exists.
03Landing pagesOne page, one offer, built to turn ad spend into enquiries instead of bounces.
04Online storesProduct pages that handle local payment and delivery, and a checkout that does not lose people halfway.
05Booking sitesLodges, clinics and studios — availability, enquiry forms, and the detail people need before committing.
06Catalogue sitesLarge ranges with specs, filtering and a search that returns the right result first time.
How a project runs

Four steps, no mystery.

You will know what is happening and what is expected of you at every point. Most delays on a website design project come from waiting on content, not from the design work.

01

Scope and quote

A short call, then a written quote with a fixed price and a date. Nothing starts until you approve it.

02

Design

You see the homepage first. We agree the direction there before the rest of the pages get built out.

03

Build and review

Everything goes into WordPress on a staging link. Two rounds of revisions are included in the price.

04

Launch and handover

We go live, connect analytics, and walk you through editing the site yourself.

Questions people ask

Website design questions, answered.

Across the market you will see anything from R5,000 for a template job to R150,000 for a large custom build. Ours start at R4,500 for a one-page site, R10,000 for a five-page Starter site and R25,000 for custom work. What changes between those numbers is how much of the site is genuinely designed for you rather than assembled from something that already existed.

Ask three things before signing. Who owns the domain, hosting and analytics when the project ends — it should be you. What the fixed price is and what specifically falls outside it. And whether you can edit pages yourself afterwards, or whether every change comes back as a quote. A website design company that answers those plainly is usually one worth hiring.

Five working days for a one-pager and ten for a Starter build, assuming your content is ready and feedback comes back promptly. Custom projects run four to eight weeks depending on pages and integrations. The slowest part of almost every project is waiting for copy and photographs, so having those ready is the single biggest thing you can do to speed it up.

Usually yes, and it is often cheaper than starting again because the content and URLs already exist. We audit what is there first. If the foundation is sound we redesign on top of it and keep your rankings intact; if it is a mess underneath, we will say so rather than charge you to prop it up.

Your logo, any brand colours or fonts you already use, and the text and images for each page. If the copy does not exist yet, say so early — we can work from a rough outline, and writing it properly is far easier before the design is locked than after.

Yes. Everything is built on WordPress and we hand over with a walkthrough of how to change text, swap images and add pages. You are not locked into calling us every time a price changes. If you would rather we handled updates, that is a separate arrangement and never a requirement.

We can. Most clients send rough notes and we shape them into page copy that reads well and carries the right keywords. If you would rather write it yourself, we will tell you roughly how much text each section needs so nothing arrives half empty.

Most of our work is remote and spread across South Africa. Everything runs over email and calls, so where you are makes no practical difference to the design or the build.
