Web Design & Development — Cape Town & the Western Cape

Websites that load fast and ask for the sale

Most Cape Town business sites are brochures that happen to be online. We build sites with a job: rank, load in under two seconds, and turn the visitor into an enquiry before they lose interest.

Jump to: Every site we build is tested at these widths and every width between them. Not scaled down — rearranged.

01 — Measured, not claimed

This page, timed by your own browser

These numbers are read from the Performance API on your device as you loaded this page. Refresh and they change. Every agency claims fast sites — here is ours, in public.

— First paint When something first appeared on screen.
— Content visible When the first real text and layout landed.
— Interactive When the page could respond to a tap.
— Against Google's bar Google wants content visible inside 2.5s.

Slow sites lose visitors before the page finishes drawing, and Google ranks them lower for it. Speed is not a technical nicety, it is the first thing your customer judges you on.

02 — A rebuild, side by side

03 — What is included

Every build, no matter the size

We do not sell a theme with your logo dropped in. Structure, copy, speed and tracking are part of the build, not extras quoted later.

01

Structure & copy

We plan every page around one job before designing anything, and write the copy to do that job. No lorem ipsum handed back to you to fill in.

02

Design in your brand

Custom layouts drawn for your content, not a template stretched around it. You see and sign off the design before a line of code is written.

03

Built on WordPress

Elementor Pro, structured so your team can edit text and images safely without breaking the layout. Full training handover included.

04

Speed & Core Web Vitals

Compressed images, minimal plugins, caching and a CDN. We do not hand over a site that fails Google’s vitals on a mid-range Android.

05

SEO foundations

Clean heading structure, schema markup, titles and descriptions written per page, and redirects mapped so you keep the rankings you have.

06

Tracking from day one

GA4, Search Console, and every form, call and WhatsApp tap tracked as a conversion. You launch knowing what the site is doing.

04 — How a build runs

Six weeks, and you see it every week

01
Week 1

Teardown & plan

We audit the current site, agree the page list, and write what each page has to achieve. Free, before you commit.

02
Week 2

Copy & wireframes

Words first, layout second. You approve the actual copy before we make anything look pretty around it.

03
Weeks 3—4

Design & build

Homepage design signed off first, then the rest built on a staging URL you can open any time you like.

04
Weeks 5—6

Test, launch, train

Speed and device testing, redirects mapped, tracking verified, then launch and a recorded training session for your team.

05 — What it costs

Fixed price, quoted after the teardown

One price agreed up front, paid half on kickoff and half on launch. No hourly billing, no surprise change requests. Prices exclude VAT.

Cape Town Marketing really gets the Cape Town market. They created beautiful, engaging campaigns for our restaurant and helped us attract both locals and tourists. Our bookings have gone up and our brand finally has the visibility it deserves.

08 — Web design questions

What owners ask before a rebuild

If your question is not here, it is the first thing we will answer on the teardown call.

A six page business site starts at R18 000, a fifteen page site built for SEO at R38 000, and e-commerce from R55 000. The price is fixed after the free teardown, so you know the number before you commit rather than watching an hourly bill grow.

Six weeks for most sites, from kickoff to launch. E-commerce runs eight to ten. The one thing that delays a build is waiting on content and feedback from your side, which is why we write the copy ourselves and book the review calls up front.

Not if the migration is done properly. Every old URL is mapped to a new one, redirects go live with the site, and we keep the page structure and headings that were already ranking. Most clients see rankings improve because the new site is faster.

Yes. It is built on WordPress with Elementor, structured so text and images can be swapped without breaking the layout. You get a recorded training session and written notes, and we are on the phone if you get stuck.

Copy is included in every build. Photography is quoted separately as a shoot day, and it is worth it – stock images of people who do not work at your business are the fastest way to look like everyone else.

You do, entirely. The domain and hosting stay in your name, you get full admin access, and there is no proprietary platform holding your site hostage. If you leave, the site leaves with you.
