Website Design & Development

Website design in Cape Town,
built and run by one person.

I design your site, build it, host it and keep it running, so you don’t need to hire a designer, a developer and a hosting company separately. One person, one point of contact.

Designed, built, hosted and maintained by one person in Cape Town.

The Short Version

Real sites, checked properly.

No stock portfolio. Every project in my portfolio is a real, live site for a South African business.

Every Screen

Built to look sharp on every screen.

Every site I build is checked on phone, tablet and desktop before it goes live, not after a customer complains.

  • Designed mobile-first, not squeezed down later.
  • Fast loading on real phone connections.
  • Tested before launch, on real devices.
What You Get

Website design in Cape Town, with everything in one build.

Custom design

A site designed around your business and customers, not a template with your logo dropped in.

WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify

WordPress and Elementor Pro for most business sites. WooCommerce or Shopify when you sell online.

SEO-ready from day one

Rank Math set up properly at launch: titles, meta, sitemaps and schema.

Checked on every screen

Phone, tablet and desktop, tested before launch.

Hosting included

Launched on managed cloud hosting with SSL, backups and CDN.

One point of contact

The person who designs your site is the person who looks after it.

After Launch

Hosting is handled too, not an afterthought.

Every site launches on managed cloud infrastructure in Johannesburg, California or London, looked after by me.

  • Free SSL and Cloudflare CDN.
  • Two layers of backups: UpdraftPlus and FlyWP.
  • Uptime monitored 24/7 by Better Stack.

Platforms & Toolset

Built on WordPress, WooCommerce or Shopify.

I build on the platform that fits how you sell, and every WordPress site ships with the same premium toolset.

WordPress for business and service sites. Built with Elementor Pro, so you can update your own content.

WooCommerce when your shop should live inside your WordPress site, with products, payments and orders in one place.

Shopify when you'd rather run a hosted store. I set up, design and customise it so it looks like your brand.

Every WordPress build includes WP Rocket, Elementor Pro, Rank Math Pro, Astra Pro, Brevo and more, so you’re not paying for licences one by one. Crocoblock, ShortPixel and Formidable Forms Pro come with the agency plan.

After Launch

What clients experience after launch.

Here’s what a new site from me typically gives your business once it goes live.

Faster load speeds

Built lean, cached with WP Rocket and hosted on fast cloud servers, so pages load quickly on real phone connections.

FAQ

Website questions, answered.

What's included in a website build?

Design, build, launch and hosting, from one person. Every site is checked on phone, tablet and desktop before it goes live, and set up for SEO with Rank Math.

How long does a build take?

It depends on two things: having all your content ready, and the deposit being paid. Once both are in, I schedule your build on a job card. A 5-page website takes 2 to 3 weeks when all the content is ready.

Do you build on WooCommerce or Shopify?

Yes. WooCommerce when your store should live inside your WordPress site, Shopify when you'd rather run a hosted store. I'll recommend one based on your products and how you want to manage orders. Read more about WooCommerce and Shopify.

I've never had a website built. Do I need to know anything technical?

No. I handle the design, build, hosting and upkeep, and explain things in plain language along the way.

What do add-ons cost?

Smaller add-ons, like a chat plugin, start from R200 and go up to R500 for podcast integration. Bigger builds include a membership site from R450, a booking site from R350 and an e-commerce store from R5,500. Anything specific is quoted.

Is hosting included?

Every site launches on my managed hosting, with free SSL, two layers of backups, Cloudflare CDN and uptime monitoring.
