WordPress websites

WordPress website design you can edit yourself

WordPress website design for businesses that want to change their own prices, photos and opening hours without logging a support ticket. Every site we build runs on WordPress, from R1499, and is live in three days.

We set it up so the parts you will change are easy to find, and the parts you should not touch are out of the way.

Why we use WordPress for every build

Ownership

No lock-in

WordPress is open source and runs on almost any host. If you ever leave us, any WordPress developer can pick the site up.

Editing

Changes without us

Text, images and prices are edited in a visual editor. We show you how before we hand over.

Shops

WooCommerce built in

The same site can sell online with WooCommerce and a South African payment gateway when you are ready.

SEO tools included

Rank Math is set up for titles, descriptions and schema, so search basics are handled from the start.

What good WordPress website design avoids

WordPress has a reputation for being slow and fragile. That is usually not WordPress; it is thirty plugins, a heavy theme and nobody keeping an eye on updates.

Our WordPress website design keeps the build lean: a lightweight theme, a page builder you can use, and only the plugins the site actually needs. Fewer moving parts means faster pages and fewer things to break after an update.

We also hand over properly. You get an admin login, a short walk-through of the editor, and the domain and hosting in your own name. If something does go wrong later, a rescue or redesign is something we do regularly.

Pricing is the same as every other site we build: from R1499 for an informational site and R3499 for a WooCommerce shop.

How a WordPress website design project runs

1. Message us. Send what your business does and what you need, on WhatsApp or by email. You get a price and a date in writing, usually the same day.

2. Free prototype. We look at your competitors and build a working version before you pay anything. If it is not right, you walk away owing nothing.

3. The build. Once you approve the prototype and send your content, a standard site takes three days and an online shop takes seven.

4. Handover. The domain and hosting are registered in your name, and you get the logins plus a short walk-through of the editor.

WordPress website design follows the same four steps as every site we build, so you always know what happens next and what it costs.

WordPress website design questions

Can I really edit the site myself?

Yes. Text, images and prices are changed in a visual editor, and we show you how before handover.

Who hosts the site?

You do, in your own name. We can recommend a host and set it up for you.

Can you fix a WordPress site someone else built?

Yes. Send us the address and we will tell you what is wrong and what it would take to fix.

Do you do updates?

Monthly care is available, but it is optional and never starts without your agreement.

Send us the site you have in mind.

// A WhatsApp message is enough. Price and timing agreed in writing before any work starts.
