What we do

Web design services Cape Town businesses can price up front

We offer four web design services in Cape Town: brochure sites, online shops, SEO and local search, and rescues of sites that have broken or gone stale. Every one of them has a published price and a stated turnaround, so you can decide whether to talk to us before you ever have to ask.

If what you need sits outside these four web design services, message us and we will say so plainly rather than take the job and learn on your budget.

Four web design services Cape Town businesses actually buy

From R1499 · 3 days
Website design & build
Brochure sites for Cape Town businesses that need to look credible and be findable. Responsive, built on WordPress so you can edit it yourself, with a contact form and analytics wired up from day one. We start by mapping what your customers actually come to the site to do, then build the shortest path to it.

Online shops
WooCommerce stores with a South African payment gateway, product pages built to rank, and a stock system you can run without calling us every week. Suited to businesses selling tens of products rather than thousands, which is most of the shops we are asked about.

Ongoing
SEO & local search
Getting found for what people in Cape Town actually search. Technical fixes, Google Business Profile, suburb pages, and content that answers real questions. We report on rankings, traffic and enquiries, not vanity metrics you cannot spend.

Project or retainer
Redesigns & rescues
Sites that have gone stale, broken after an update, or were built on a page builder nobody supports any more. We have done this to our own site, so we know exactly how it goes and what it costs to unpick.

How a three-day build actually runs

Three days is the working time, not a marketing number. It starts the day we have your content and ends with the site live on your own domain. Here is the order it happens in.

Before day one — the free prototype. You send us what your business does and what you want the site to achieve. We research your specification and look at what your competitors in Cape Town are already ranking for, then build a working prototype and send you the link. Nothing is owed at this point. If you do not like it, you walk away and keep your money.

Day one — structure and copy. Page structure, headings and the words. This is where most of the value sits, and it is the part agencies skip when they hand you a template with your logo dropped in.

Day two — build and mobile. The design goes in properly, images are compressed, and every page is checked on a phone on mobile data rather than on a 27-inch monitor. Most of your visitors will arrive that way.

Day three — search, forms, handover. Titles, descriptions, schema and your Google Business Profile. Contact form tested to a real inbox. Then the domain and hosting logins are handed to you, in your name. You own it from that moment, which is the part that makes the rest of our web design services worth buying.

Three of these web design services, delivered

One shop, one brochure site, one trade business built around local search. All three are live and all three are editable by their owners.

Not sure which of these web design services you need?

Send us what your business does and what you want the website to achieve. We will tell you which package fits, what it costs, and how long it takes — and we will build you a free prototype before you commit to anything.

If the honest answer is that you do not need a new site at all, you will get that answer too. It has happened more than once, and it costs us less than a bad project does.
