The short answer
We build fast, clear websites for small and medium South African businesses, from R4 000, at a fixed price.
Every site works on a phone, has WhatsApp as the main button, and sits on your own domain, with a full copy of the site files handed to you so you are never locked in. Sharon looks after the South Coast and Emilio looks after everyone else.
Why sites lose enquiries
We fix these first. We cannot promise a number of enquiries, and your stats show what changes.
Many visitors arrive on a phone. If the text is tiny or the menu will not open, they leave.
A WhatsApp or call button on every page is the quickest way for a customer to ask.
A customer who cannot tell what something costs may not ask. We show the price and tell you honestly which tier fits.

Our product site
Capability ceiling, a full marketing site we built for our own product. Bigger than the standard brochure package.
Visit live site →How it works
Three steps, and you pay a fixed price.
Step 1
A short call to agree what the site needs and which tier fits. No report, no pitch deck.
Step 2
We build from an agreed sample and you review a private preview. Two focused revision rounds are in the fee.
Step 3
Deploy on the host you chose. Balance on hand-over.
Live at Eagle’s Roost and Khaya La Manzi
An installable guide on your own website. Visitors scan a QR code or tap a link, add it to their home screen, and it still opens with no signal.
Admin dashboard
One private page with your visits, the Google searches that find you, what is done and what is still to do. Included on Business and Custom. On Starter and Brochure it is R1 500 once.

Extra
A logo made for your business, so your website, WhatsApp profile and printed material look like one business. We did the sunset logo for Khaya La Manzi. Quoted for your business, and R500 off when ordered together with a website.
Starter is from R4 000 (3 custom pages), Brochure is R7 500 (4 to 6 pages), Business is from R12 500 (about 10 pages), and Custom work is quoted. A R2 000 deposit starts a Starter or Brochure job and the balance is due within 7 days of hand-over. A new .co.za domain, if you need one, is at actual cost, typically R90 to R150.
We cannot promise a number. We fix what loses enquiries: a site that breaks on a phone, no WhatsApp button, no clear price. The admin dashboard, included on Business and Custom and an add-on on Starter and Brochure, then shows how many people visit and which Google searches find you.
You do. The domain is in your name, and you receive a complete copy of your site files at hand-over. You are not locked in to us: there is no exit fee, and the site is ordinary web code that any developer can take over, so if we were ever unable to carry on, your website would not be stuck.
No. We use the domain you have. Keep your hosting if it can serve the new site, or downscale to free static hosting and stop paying for what you no longer need.
Two revision rounds, deposit up front. Domain at actual cost. From R4 000, Brochure R7 500, bigger work quoted.South Coast business? 10% off every package, set up through Sharon.
Keep your domain if you have one. Keep or downscale hosting. You get a full copy of your site files, with no exit fee, so you are never locked in to us.
Same method we used for Three Birds in Anerley. Sharon answers on the South Coast, Emilio everywhere else.
