Website design for South African businesses

Every website is designed mobile-first, so it works properly on phones, tablets and desktops, and is set up with SEO foundations and WhatsApp enquiry links from the start.

Website design questions
Can’t see your question? Ask us on WhatsApp.
How much does website design cost in South Africa?
Professional business websites start from R2,000. The final cost depends on the number of pages, the features you need and whether you choose a custom HTML website, a WordPress website or a WooCommerce online store. Our pricing guide explains the typical ranges.
Should I choose a custom HTML website or WordPress?
A custom HTML website is lightweight and fast, and we can handle updates for you. A WordPress website built with Elementor Pro suits businesses that want to edit pages themselves, add blog posts or grow the site over time. We will recommend the option that fits your goals and budget.
Do you only work with businesses in Durban?
No. We are based in Durban North, KwaZulu-Natal, and work with businesses across South Africa, including projects in Pretoria, the West Rand, Pinetown and Ballito. Briefing, feedback and reviews can all be handled remotely.
Will my website work well on mobile phones?
Yes. Every website is designed mobile-first and checked on phones, tablets and desktop screens before launch.
Can you host and maintain my website?
Yes. Hosting starts from R150 per month and our hosting and maintenance plans include small updates. See website hosting and maintenance.
Can customers contact me through WhatsApp?
Yes. We add WhatsApp links and enquiry options so customers can reach you with one tap.
