Service 02 · Design & build studio
A website that does not embarrass you in front of the client you want.
Fast, properly built sites and web platforms — designed around what your business actually sells, hosted and maintained by the same people who built it.

Selected work
Websites and web platforms that hold up under real traffic.
The problem
A website is usually the first thing a serious client checks and the last thing a business gets around to fixing.
Most small business sites in South Africa are either a template that hundreds of other companies are also using, or something built years ago by someone who is no longer reachable. Both cost you work you never hear about, because the prospect quietly went elsewhere.
We design and build from scratch, on a stack we can keep supporting: fast to load on mobile data, findable on search, and structured so your team can update the parts that change without phoning a developer.

Questions we get asked
- Can you work with our existing brand?
- Yes. If you have a logo, colours and fonts we will build to them. If you do not, we can develop a basic identity as part of the project.
- Do we have to host with you?
- No, but it is usually simpler. If you host elsewhere we hand over everything needed to deploy and maintain it.
- What about e-commerce?
- We build online stores with local payment gateways and ZAR pricing. Scope those as their own project — they carry more moving parts than a brochure site.
