Business Websites

We design and develop custom business websites from the ground up, with a focus on your unique needs. Our sites go beyond a simple online brochure, featuring 5–20+ pages with service and location-specific modules to capture local search intent across South African cities like Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town. Each site includes a content management system (CMS) for easy updates, a professional blog, and integrated contact forms.

Our e-commerce builds include a full catalogue setup, secure payment gateway integrations (like PayFast and Ozow), and intuitive shopping cart experiences. We also implement structured data to help your products stand out in Google’s search results and provide guidance on managing your product inventory and shipping rules.

Landing Pages & Funnels

We build targeted landing pages and conversion funnels to support your digital marketing campaigns. These pages are designed with a single goal in mind: converting visitors into leads. Every page is built with built-in A/B testing hooks and lead-form tracking to give you a clear view of your campaign performance. We also optimize for lightning-fast load times, which is essential for paid advertising.

Migrations & Redesigns

Don’t lose your search rankings when you update your website. We handle every step of your site migration or redesign with a technical-first approach. Our process includes a full SEO audit, comprehensive redirect mapping, and a staging environment quality assurance (QA) check to ensure a seamless transition. After launch, we perform post-migration checks to confirm all search value has been preserved, so your traffic remains unaffected.

What You Get (Core Inclusions)

Every project we undertake is built on a proven process designed to deliver tangible results for your business. We don’t just build websites—we build high-performance, conversion-focused digital assets. Here’s what you get with every project:

  • Discovery & Strategy: We begin with a deep dive into your business goals, target audience, and competitive landscape. We map out your entire website’s structure, creating a detailed sitemap and wireframes that ensure a logical, user-friendly experience from the very first click.
  • UX/UI Design System: Your website will be built with a consistent and scalable design system. We define your typography, color palette, and interactive components, ensuring a cohesive and professional brand identity across every page. This attention to detail results in a site that is not only beautiful but also intuitive to navigate.
  • Custom WordPress Development: We build on the world’s most popular and flexible CMS, WordPress. Whether you prefer the simplicity of native blocks or a custom Elementor Pro setup, your site will be easy to manage and update. We also provide comprehensive video training so you have full control over your content.
  • Performance Optimization: Speed is a top priority. Our development process includes a dedicated performance playbook, where we optimize every element—from image and font loading policies to code splitting. This ensures your site loads lightning-fast and meets Google’s Core Web Vitals, a crucial factor for search ranking and user satisfaction.
  • SEO & Analytics Setup: Every site is launched with an SEO-ready foundation. We configure on-page SEO essentials like titles, meta descriptions, and structured data, as well as analytics tools like Google Analytics 4 and Search Console. This means your website is ready to be discovered from day one, with a clear view of how it’s performing.
  • Launch & 30-Day Support: Our process culminates in a seamless, professional launch. We conduct final quality assurance checks for responsiveness and accessibility, handle all redirects, and ensure a smooth go-live.
