Ecommerce Web Design: Online Stores for South African Businesses
Tidy Designs designs ecommerce websites for South African businesses, from product pages to checkout. Online shops are built on WooCommerce, work with local payment gateways such as PayFast, Ozow and Yoco, and are designed mobile-first so shoppers can buy on any device.
Online store design built around the shopping journey
An online store is more than a set of product pages. The right setup depends on how your business actually sells: what you stock, how customers pay, how orders are delivered and how shoppers get help.
We design the store so products are easy to find, prices and delivery information are clear and the checkout is straightforward on a phone. Online shops are built with WooCommerce on WordPress, so you can manage your own products. See WordPress web design.
