Web Design in Cape Town

Custom websites typically range from about R12,000 for a sharp one-page site to R96,000 and beyond for full e-commerce builds. Where you land depends on scope: pages, custom design, content, integrations. Two things stay constant. The quote is fixed before we start, and there are no hourly surprises. If you have a budget in mind, tell us. We will tell you honestly what it buys.

Yes. Kirstin, our co-founder, is in Cape Town regularly, so in-person kickoffs and check-ins are easy to arrange. Between meetings, projects run on video calls, shared boards and a build you can click on from day one.

We do. Most of our stores run on WooCommerce, like KLûK CGDT’s fashion store and Room Service Homeware’s online shop. Where Shopify fits better, we build there instead, as we did for Emperor Gin. We help you choose based on your products, your margins and how you want to run the back office.

Yes, and it is one of our favourite jobs. We rebuild your existing design on Bricks, a leaner WordPress framework, keeping the look and fixing the weight. When we did this for Rockfig Lodge, the time to first image dropped from 21 seconds to 4.4. It is a fixed-price piece of work with a before-and-after report included.

Usually within two to four weeks, depending on the pipeline. We would rather give you a real date than a flattering one. Once we start, you get a working build to click on early, not a big reveal at the end.

Yes. We create artwork for both print and digital use, so your brand can stay consistent across brochures, flyers, social media, presentations, websites, and campaign assets.

A graphic designer helps shape how your business looks and communicates visually. This can include logos, brochures, social media graphics, posters, presentations, packaging, signage, and other brand materials. The aim is to make your brand feel professional, consistent, and easy to recognise.

A Brochure Website is your company’s digital profile. Its primary goal is to establish online presence, build credibility, and provide essential information to your customers.

Typically ranging from 1 to 10 pages, it acts as a 24/7 sales representative that showcases your services, your brand story, and how people can contact you. While it doesn’t include complex features like online stores or member portals, it is the essential foundation for any professional business looking to turn “searchers” into “clients.”

The Short Version: A CMS, or Content Management System, is the software behind your website that allows you to update content like text, images, and blog posts without needing to write a single line of code. Think of it as the “dashboard” for your digital home.

Our Specific Stack: We don’t just give you a generic CMS; we build a high-performance engine tailored to your business using three core tools:

• WordPress: The world’s most popular and flexible CMS. It provides the foundation, ensuring your site is scalable, secure, and “future-proof.”
• Bricks Builder: Unlike “bloated” page builders that slow sites down, Bricks allows us to write clean, lightning-fast code visually. It ensures your site is high-performance and ranks better on Google.
• ACF (Advanced Custom Fields): This is where the magic happens for you. We use ACF to create a bespoke editing experience. Instead of getting lost in complex settings, you’ll have simple, labeled boxes to fill in. If you want to change a team member’s bio or a business listing attribute, you just type it in and hit “Update.”

We start with a discovery phase where we discuss your goals, target audience, and design preferences. We will need your branding assets (logo, fonts) and your content (text and images). If you don’t have high-quality images or copy, we can discuss adding copywriting and art direction to your package.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the project (e.g., a one-page microsite vs. a full e-commerce platform). Generally, a standard corporate website takes between 4 to 8 weeks from the strategy phase to launch. We will provide a detailed timeline after assessing your specific requirements.

Yes. We often find that a new website is the perfect catalyst for a brand refresh. Our creative team can work with you to refine your logo, colour palette, and brand guidelines to ensure your new digital presence is consistent, modern, and impactful.

Good design and SEO go hand-in-hand. We build websites with clean code, fast load times, and proper structure (headings, metadata, and schema). This technical foundation makes it easier for search engines to understand your content and rank you for local search terms relevant to your Cape Town audience.

Yes, we work with clients across South Africa and internationally. We have streamlined our remote collaboration process to ensure seamless communication. We understand the Cape Town market deeply and can deliver world-class web design without you needing to step foot in our office.

Cape Town is one of South Africa’s most competitive business hubs, from boutique tourism to tech startups. To stand out in this crowded market, a generic website isn’t enough. Our web design services for Cape Town businesses focus on creating high-impact, fast-loading websites that capture the city’s unique energy and give you a competitive edge.

Absolutely. We specialise in refactoring and migrating legacy websites to modern standards. We can take your existing design and rebuild it in Bricks to improve its speed, security, and manageability without losing the visual essence of your brand.

We believe your digital presence should be as unique as your business. While we use WordPress as our foundation, we design and build custom layouts tailored to your brand’s specific goals. We don’t rely on “cookie-cutter” templates; we build strategic digital solutions that tell your story.

We prioritise speed, performance, and clean code. Unlike older page builders that can slow down a site with unnecessary code, Bricks Builder allows us to create websites that are lightning-fast and score highly on Google’s Core Web Vitals. This ensures your visitors have a smooth experience and your SEO ranking potential is maximised.

Yes. If you already have a logo and brand identity, we’ll design your site to reflect it. That is almost always the suggested approach. If not, we can help develop a new look and feel that works both online and in print.

Web design focuses on how your website looks and feels, including its layout, colours, images, and overall user experience. Web development encompasses the technical aspects, including coding and functionality, that support the design. We offer both, but this page is specifically about design.

Absolutely. We can refresh your current site with an updated design, optimised performance, and improved responsiveness across devices.

Yes. We offer managed WordPress website hosting, updates, and performance support so your website remains secure and up to date with no effort on your part.
