Web design portfolio: Cape Town sites you can open right now

This is the whole web design portfolio Cape Town businesses actually get to inspect — seven live sites, each one running for a real trading company in the metro. No mockups, no stock layouts, no “concept” work that was never built. Click any screenshot and you land on the site itself.

What each project actually needed

Every job on this page started the same way — a Cape Town owner who needed to be findable and credible, and who wanted a straight answer on price. What differed was the job itself.

Crystal Peace Electrical needed to look like a licensed contractor rather than a man with a bakkie. Certifications, service areas and a phone number above the fold, because electrical work is bought under pressure and nobody scrolls when the power is out.

Haircare Shop is a full WooCommerce store with a South African payment gateway. The brief was stock the owner could manage without phoning us, and a checkout that does not lose people on mobile data.

Nanotech Health sells natural health products where the claims have to be careful and the product pages have to do the explaining. Long-form copy, clean product structure, and nothing that would get the site in trouble.

Xpressdor fits security doors, which is a trust purchase in Cape Town. The site leads on installations already done and on the specification of what is actually being fitted to your house.

Gift Guest House needed direct bookings rather than everything going through a platform that takes a cut. Rooms, rates and availability up front, with enquiry paths that do not make a traveller work for it.

SEOPlus is a marketing business, so the site had to survive being judged by people who do this for a living. Fast, clean, and honest about what the service does.

AJ Kitchen Extractor is the clearest case of local search paying for itself. Extractor cleaning is a service people search for by suburb, at the moment they need it, and the site is built around exactly those searches.

What every site in this portfolio has in common

Ownership
The client owns everything
Domain and hosting are registered in the client’s name, and the logins are handed over at the end. Nobody on this page is locked to us, which is the main reason they are still clients.
Platform
WordPress they can edit
Every site is WordPress, so prices, hours and photos can be changed by the owner without a support ticket. No proprietary builder that dies with the agency.
Search
Built to be found locally
Titles, headings, schema and a Google Business Profile on day one, aimed at what Cape Town actually types rather than industry jargon.
Speed
Fast on a phone, on data
Compressed images, minimal scripts and no page-builder bloat, because most of the traffic on these sites is mobile and not on fibre.

Pricing for work like this is published in full on the pricing page, and the build process is set out under our services.

Yours could be next week’s.
