Website design
Website design company in Johannesburg
Hand-coded WordPress, built mobile first and structured so Google can read it from the first line. Not a bought theme with your logo dropped into it. Three tiers, a fixed quote before anything starts, and no hourly billing.
What you are buying
Four things that are true of every build
Whichever tier you take, these do not change. They are the reason a site from here behaves differently six months later, when the novelty has worn off and it is just a business tool that either works or does not.
Written, not assembled
A bought theme ships the markup for every layout it might ever need and loads all of it on every page, used or not. Written pages carry only what is on them. That is most of the speed difference, and it is why a change to one section does not quietly break three others.
Mobile first, not mobile last
The phone layout is designed first and the desktop one grows out of it, rather than a desktop design being squeezed down until it fits. Most of your visitors arrive on a phone on mobile data, so that is the case the build is tuned for.
The SEO structure goes in during the build
Heading hierarchy, page titles, descriptions, image alt text and schema are part of making a page here, not a job booked afterwards. A site built this way starts an SEO plan from a clean base instead of from a list of repairs.
Yours to edit, ours to maintain
Every tier includes a content management system, so the words, the images and the pages are yours to change without phoning anyone. What you never have to touch is the plumbing: updates, backups and the certificate live on the hosting side.
What it costs
Three tiers, and the only thing that changes
The difference between them is how many pages and how many email accounts. Everything else on the list is identical on all three, which is why it is printed once underneath rather than three times inside the cards.

From means from. The page count is what the tiers are priced on, and it is quoted rather than capped: if the site needs eight pages you get quoted for eight pages. Selling online is a different build again, and it lives on online stores. Every figure here and every other plan is set out on the packages page.
How it runs
Four stages, and what each one needs from you
Almost nothing delays a website build except waiting for content. Not the design, not the code. So here is the half nobody publishes: exactly what has to come from your side, and when, so you can have it ready instead of being asked for it.
The call and the quote
We do
Work out what the site actually has to do, how many pages that takes, and which tier it lands on. You get an itemised, fixed quote back.
You bring
What you sell, who you sell it to, and two or three sites you like the look of. Nothing written or designed yet.
Structure and design
We do
Lay out every page, design the look on the phone first, and show it to you before a line of it is built. Changes here cost nothing.
You bring
This is the stage that decides your timeline. Your logo in a usable file, your photographs, and the words for each page. If they are ready, the build does not wait.
The build
We do
Write the pages, wire up the form and the map, set the titles, descriptions, alt text and schema, and test it on real phones rather than in a preview pane.
You bring
One round of feedback on the built pages, and the details only you have: opening hours, the addresses, the phone number that should ring.
Launch, and after
We do
Point the domain, install the certificate, submit the site to Google, and hand you a login you actually know how to use. Then the hosting picks it up.
You bring
Access to the domain if it is already registered somewhere else. That is the only thing that can hold a launch day up.
The argument
Why the way it is built shows up in your enquiries
Hand-coded sounds like a builder's preference. It is not. It is three specific consequences, and each of them costs or earns you money.
The proof
Sites that are live, and people who said so
The work speaks better than the description of it does. Six builds are on the projects page, and the reviews are on Google under our own name rather than retyped here as anonymous praise.
"The absolute best in business, great service and better results than we could ever have asked for! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a successful, well-ranked website."
Questions
The ones people ask before they commit
What does hand-coded actually mean?
The pages are written rather than assembled. A bought theme ships the markup and styling for every layout it might ever need and loads all of it on every page, whether your site uses it or not.
Written pages carry only what is on them, which is why they load faster and why changing one thing does not quietly break three others.
Can I edit the site myself afterwards?
Yes. Every tier includes a content management system, so text, images and pages are yours to change without phoning anyone. What you do not have to do is maintain it: updates, backups and the certificate are on the hosting side.
What happens if I need more pages than the tier allows?
The page count is the difference between the three tiers, and it is quoted rather than capped. If you need eight pages, you are quoted for eight pages. The tier is a starting point for a real number, not a box you have to fit inside.
Do I get the domain and the email accounts too?
Every tier includes a free domain and a free SSL certificate for the first year, and a set number of email accounts on your own domain. Standard gives five accounts, Premium ten and Ultimate twenty five.
Is the SEO included, or is that a separate cost?
The on-page structure is part of the build: heading hierarchy, page titles, descriptions, image alt text and schema go in while the pages are being made.
Ongoing SEO, the keyword work and content and backlinks that move a ranking month to month, is a separate plan. It is set out on the SEO page.
What holds a website build up?
Content, almost every time. Not the design and not the code. The build waits on your logo, your photographs and the words for each page, so the fastest projects are the ones where that material is ready before stage two starts.
Next step
Send the brief, get a fixed number.
Tell us what the site has to do and roughly how many pages that sounds like. You get an itemised quote back with a real figure on it, and if the honest answer is a smaller tier than you were expecting, that is what the quote will say.
