Website design and build
Your website is often where a customer decides whether to contact you or the next business on the list. We plan, write and build websites for small businesses and SMEs in South Africa and the UK, starting with two questions: what do your customers need to know, and what do you want them to do next?

Built for where your business is now.
Small businesses
You don't have a website yet, or the one you have is out of date, hard to change or difficult to use on a phone. You want a site that explains what you do clearly and makes it easy for people to get in touch.
Growing SMEs
Your business has outgrown its website. Your services, branches or team have changed, and the site no longer reflects who you are. You need a site that supports your sales team and shows up when people search on Google.
What's included
What you get.
- A plan before any designWe agree who the site is for, what each page must do and what you want visitors to do next, before anything is designed.
- Words that explain your businessWe write the copy (the words on every page) in plain language your customers understand, so you don't have to.
- Design that fits your brandClean, simple pages that use your logo, colours and real photos of your work wherever possible.
- Works properly on a phoneMost of your visitors will be on a phone, so every page is built to load quickly and read easily on a small screen.
- Set up to be found on GooglePage titles, descriptions and the technical basics are in place from day one, and the site is connected to Google Search Console (Google's free tool that shows how your site appears in search).
- Enquiries you can trackContact form, click-to-call and WhatsApp buttons, plus Google Analytics (Google's free tool that shows how many people visit and where they come from).
- Hosting and domain set upWe set up the hosting (where your site lives online) and connect your domain (your web address). Both stay in your business's name.
- A proper handoverA short walkthrough and written guide, so you know how the site works and what to do if something needs changing.
How it works
Five clear steps.
- Free consultation to understand your business and what the site must do
- Page plan and a fixed quote
- Words and design, shared with you for review
- Build, testing on phones and computers, and launch
- A check 30 days after launch to see how it is performing
What you get back
Numbers you can see.
A website is only worth what it brings in. We agree what to measure before we start, and set the site up to track it.
- Enquiries from the site (forms, calls and WhatsApp)
- How many visitors become enquiries
- Where visitors come from (Google, social media, ads)
- How quickly the site loads on a phone
Request a quote
A fixed quote, agreed upfront.
Every website is quoted after the free consultation, once we know how many pages you need and what they must do. You get a written proposal with a fixed quote, so you know the full cost before we start. There is no long contract, and you own your website and domain.
Request a quoteQuestions
Common questions.
Do I need a new website, or can my current one be fixed?
Not always a new one. If your current site is fairly recent and easy to update, our website optimisation service may bring in more enquiries for less. We'll tell you honestly which makes more sense in your free consultation.
How long does a website take to build?
Most small business websites take four to eight weeks from the first conversation to launch. The biggest factor is usually how quickly the content comes together, such as photos and service details.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your business's name, and you have full access to the website and hosting accounts. If we stop working together, the site stays yours.
Do you write the words for the website?
Yes. Writing the copy is included. We interview you about your business and customers, write the pages, and you review and approve every word before the site goes live.
